Capricorn Season Tarot Spread ♑️✨⁠ ⁠ Hap Capricorn Season Tarot Spread ♑️✨⁠
⁠
Happy 2026, tarot darlings! Capricorn season is a powerful moment to reconnect with ambition, resilience, and long-term growth, especially if the coming of the new year feels quieter or heavier than you expected. This tarot spread is designed to offer grounded hope, renewed momentum, and clarity about what you’re building next.⁠
⁠
We aren't all up for a dramatic reset just because the calendar says it's time for one, am I right? So if you're craving a gentle spark instead, this Capricorn season tarot spread is for you.⁠
⁠
Here are the tarot questions, in case you can’t see them clearly in the graphic:⁠
⁠
♑️ 1. In what direction is my ambition leading me?⁠
♑️ 2. What accomplishment is just around the corner if I stay the course?⁠
♑️ 3. Where can I practice more resilience right now?⁠
♑️ 4. How does my spirit want to push back or break pattern at this moment?⁠
⁠
✨ Save this post and return to it anytime you need encouragement, perspective, or a reminder of what you’re working toward this season.
We often hear tarot readers discussing whether the We often hear tarot readers discussing whether they have studied the foundations of tarot or are purely intuitive readers. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ll know that my personal tarot reading philosophy and style is that both are required, along with a few other things that would round out my personal tarot reader’s hierarchy of needs! 📚💘🙋🏻‍♀️🧘🏻🔮⁠
⁠
Without traditional study of tarot as a system - the structure and ordering of the cards, numerology, elements reflected in the suits, mythological archetypes of the Majors, we wouldn’t have a solid foundation for our practice to rest on. We’d be making it all up as we went.⁠
⁠
But without making room for our intuition, all we’d be doing is regurgitating learned facts from a book with no heart or openness to our inner wisdom or our connection to others and everything around us. Where is the magic in that?⁠
⁠
Add to these two an open heart and mind, a simple grounding ritual (3 deep breaths with my eyes closed often do the trick!) and well-worded questions that allow us to go deep, and we are all set for a simple but meaningful tarot practice!⁠
⁠
What would be in your tarot reader’s hierarchy of needs? And would the foundation of your pyramid be something different?⁠
DRESS BY TAROT IS BACK! I pulled the Hierophant - DRESS BY TAROT IS BACK!

I pulled the Hierophant - my life path card - as the first card for this tarot series on intuitive dressing so I am taking that as a positive sign. 🪧❣️

The Hierophant is a tarot icon in over the top dress that makes them feel special. To me, that means some kind of brightly colored repeating pattern. I chose this adorable fair isle pattern sweater from @francescas which even has some Hierophant red in it. 

The cross pattern is repeated in the Hierophant’s slippers so I picked my most iconic shoes instead of plain Chelsea boots or something. I am OBSESSED with these @charlottestoneshoes boots and even mentioned them in a recent Substack post. 👢👌🏼

And can we talk about the charm bracelet that has a vintage hand charm on it!? Gtfo. 😍

Off to the Academy Museum of Motion Picture finally for the first time. Have you been? Have you ever pulled a tarot card to help you get dressed for the day?

Happy 2026 all! Let’s kick off the new year with Happy 2026 all! Let’s kick off the new year with a quick and easy tarot trick revolving around the tarot card of the Capricorn season - THE DEVIL. 😈✨⁠
⁠
The Devil card can help us identify patterns in our lives that are no longer serving us. Often these aren’t even our more obvious bad habits, but more subtle thought patterns, attachments, or tendencies that lurk beneath the surface. The heartening and hopeful news is that the chains in the Devil tarot card can all be removed once we recognize them and decide we don’t need them anymore. 🩷⁠

Hi! I’m Annie and I’ve been working with tarot Hi! I’m Annie and I’ve been working with tarot as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth for over a decade. I’m also a literature and mythology professor, so my unique brand of tarot combines intellect AND intuition. I believe it’s at that intersection where the magic really happens, and my newsletter dwells at that crossroads. 

My best-selling Substack, The Tarot Professor, contains juicy and informative how-tos sharing all sorts of tarot basics, advanced tarot tips, and step-by-step guides. PLUS, we dig deep, have tarot-inspired heart-to-hearts, and even drop a few F-bombs. We go beyond basic tarot how-tos and tarot tips and have deeper, more intimate conversations about the real-life wisdom tarot has to offer.

Just a friendly reminder at a time when I know a l Just a friendly reminder at a time when I know a lot of us are doing predictive "year ahead" type tarot spreads:⁠
⁠
You have the power to change your story, no matter what the tarot cards say.⁠
⁠
"What does 2026 have in store for me?" type tarot questions and tarot spreads can be super fun to do. They can help us plan and dream and prepare. I love my new year rituals as much as the next girl. ⁠
⁠
I am also a staunch believer in the unfixed nature of the energy tarot might reveal. So if you ask me, you are not "fated" or "destined" for anything that comes up in a tarot reading. You can always reflect, recalibrate, and explore alternative options. You are always free to figure out how you can change course or, at the very least, why some energy or potentiality is triggering you or frightening you and make peace with it. Or lean into it and make it work for you! Or straight up reject it. ⁠Whatever you want. 
⁠
Because again, you have the power to change your story no matter what the tarot cards say.⁠
⁠
Wishing you a 2026 filled with joy, love, ease, and empowerment. 🌟🐚💜💪🏼
