Tarot Card of the Year - Illustrated Journal

2026 Year of Wheel of Fortune and The Magician

The Tarot Card of the Year for 2026 is Wheel of Fortune. I’ve been following Theresa Reed (aka The Tarot Lady) for years for her sass her weekly Hit List, which always contains a bit of sass and some good links.

I love the Tarot, not because of whether or not they hold clairvoyant properties so much as I recognize that our intuition and subconscious speaks in imagery and symbolism and we ourselves are definitely connected to a larger Unknown wisdom. So I’m not interested in predicting the future—but I do love to listen to what my inner Self is trying to tell me.

Add up the numbers of the year and you get 2+0+2+6 = 10 Wheel of Fortune—or 1+0=1 The Magician. It does feel like this year is ripe for change and manifestation, which these cards represent. It was so lovely to throw paper and glue and ink and paint together to represent all this possibility.
