The episode begins with host Julia Caulfield introducing the topic of tarot and astrology for 2026 on the community radio show Off the Record. Guests Jade Rose, Elle Norton, and Julia Johnston share how they entered these practices, with Jade starting tarot at 15, Elle moving from astronomy to astrology, and Julia exploring spirituality through travel and study. They discuss whether tarot predicts the future or fosters intention, viewing it as a tool for reflection and archetypal insight. Jade explains the structure of tarot decks, linking minor arcana to elements and major arcana to astrological signs. The conversation shifts to numerology, with 2025 corresponding to the Hermit card (9) and 2026 to the Wheel of Fortune (10), and connections to the Chinese zodiac's snake and fire horse. Jade pulls eight tarot cards for 2026's seasons, revealing Death for winter (focus), the Two of Cups for spring (focus), the Tower for summer (focus), and the Six of Swords for fall (focus), with accompanying cards to let go. Elle provides astrological context, noting Saturn and Neptune conjunct in Aries on February 20, 2026, Uranus reentering Gemini in spring, and multiple retrogrades in fall. The guests interpret these as themes of shedding, community, upheaval, and transition. They emphasize practical applications, like building friendships and avoiding burnout. The episode closes with takeaways on embracing community, love, and gentleness for 2026, and guests share their local offerings in Telluride.
