you are the confirmation
these readings are timeless. Trust what resonates and allow yourself to let go of what doesn’t.
A quick note before we begin: If you want to see the year ahead through a wider lens, I’ve just released the 2026 energy map: your year of becoming — a collective tarot reading exploring the key themes shaping the year.
Last week we spoke about how January is a time for making messy decisions, and this week, the King of Wands is reminding you that external chaos is not a sign of failure, or a suggestion that you are on the wrong path.
Often, when things are clunky, or we make mistakes, or feel a sense of trepidation, we’re just about to witness a huge shift. In this sense, chaos, confusion, and a general fear of ‘not knowing’ precedes your biggest – and most exciting – breakthroughs. Stop searching for confirmation. You ARE the confirmation.
chase the thing
There’s a part of you that wants everything to be “just so” this week. A craving for perfection as proof that you are ready for, or capable of, the dreams you’re chasing.
But Knight of Swords is saying chase with abandon. Chase what you love what you crave, make moves in that general direction, and try not to worry about how it looks on the outside. No one is really watching what you’re doing, and those who are, are inspired and impressed by your ability to bet on yourself, against all odds.
Messy action is your friend this week, but that doesn’t mean just throwing sh** at the wall and seeing what sticks. It’s about going deep first, connecting with your higher self and tapping into the fire Inside and making decisions from that space, even when they create chaos.
stare into the fire
Look for the fiery feelings this week. The hobby that you can’t wait to start when the weekend approaches, the anger about how you’ve been treated by others, the desire to adorn yourself in bright colours and plush fabrics… anything that has a passionate energy around it is a guiding light for you this week, and when considered in the context of your future, AND your manifestation powers, will act as fuel to make those decisions and take action.
Because these passionate feelings are more than just signposts. They ARE the path.
no more waiting
The Hermit is popping in to say that if you proceed in this way, using passion and fiery feelings as your guide, the path will always be revealed.
It may not have a clear destination just yet, but the next step will always be revealed, and even better, you’ll be honouring your souls intentions as you go. That means you are continually building momentum, accumulating proof that you can trust your inner knowing, building clarity through action, carving a path using the sword of courage.
Three of wands is saying: you don’t need to do any more planning.
No more vision boards. No more waiting for the right time. Your life is now. The train is leaving. Hop on.
You’re never going to feel ready. The important thing today is to cultivate the belief that you are deserving, because when you relax and lean back into your own worthiness (which is inherent in your existence: you exist and therefore you are equally worthy as anyone else to attract the life that is chasing you) you dissolve the barriers. The universe hears the call.
Love you,
Fiona
