February 2026 — Tarot Pick a Card

Are you ready for the shortest month of 2026? The universal tarot card of the year is the Wheel of Fortune while February’s universal card is The Hanged Man. In a year of change, expect some sort of trial, sacrifice, or major sign from the universe.

But that’s the general energy. Let’s see what your life will be like.

Pick one of the piles above using your intuition.

After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.

Remember that you have free will. That means you can manifest the positive and avoid the negative of any reading.

Now let’s get into the details for your February 2026.

Pile 1: Book

Themes

It definitely seems like you’re going to face a trial or difficulty this month. The Coyote is a mythological figure common in Native American cultures and he typically represents a trickster spirit, though there are some variations.

Mostly, the Coyote appears when a lesson is to be learned. That means the challenge you’ll face is a productive one and it will either correct a problem or push you towards your goals.

The second card, The Tree of Life, represents immortality, but it can also represent the structure of life. I find this an interesting symbol considering the universal tarot card for February being The Hanged Man. That card calls upon the image of Odin and his sacrifice on the World Tree to gain insight.

That insight occurred after nine days, a complete mythological cycle, calling upon the Completion card. So your cards really align with the universal energies this month. If you try to avoid the challenges, you may find you regret it later because those challenges represent opportunity and revelation.

Spirituality

Well, isn’t this interesting? The Mirror is this tarot deck’s version of The Hanged Man, further emphasizing your theme cards and putting a spiritual element to it. But this deck emphasizes self-reflection more than any other Hanged Man meaning, so that means the sacrifice or trial you face could be psychological.

This is a good month to journal, do therapy work, or perhaps even more indicated… divination. Push yourself here and try something more complicated or something new.

An exercise you could try is scrying. This is where you look into a black mirror or water in a dark bowl. Your intuition will send you messages. Not everyone can scry, but consider trying this month and write down your thoughts.

If nothing comes at first, try stream-of-consciousness writing after a scrying session.

Relationships

The Green Man is another major arcana card, and this time imparting a creative, assertive energy. I think your relationships this month will be quite positive, rather than challenging. If there is someone you’re in a struggle session with, you’ll likely have wit and confidence to best them.

Consider spending quality time with those you share hobbies with, classmates, or co-workers. That creative, assertive energy is best channeled in those dynamics. However, parenting is also happily indicated here, so if you have anyone dependent on you, you can guide in a productive manner in life.

Career/Money/Hobbies

Not a surprise to see this card. The Four of Vessels, Reversed suggests you’ll have curiosity or fun at work, your finances, or a hobby you care about. It’s possible this could be related to the challenges of this month, but if so, it’ll end in a positive manner, and you’ll quite enjoy the process.

Personal Development/Miscellaneous

The Queen of Bows likely represents a spirit in your life with a lot of passionate energy. I believe it’s a spirit due to the spiritual elements of your spread. Whether you meet this being in a manner you can sense depends on the way she reaches out to you.

However, she imparts some social savviness in your relationships, and also fills you with purpose. I believe your attempt at divination, if you choose to partake in it this month, will reveal a path forward you either didn’t realize before or didn’t have confidence to pursue. But now you’ll have that confidence.

Pay special attention to any rabbit symbols this month. That could be a sign from this spirit.

Pile 2: Colosseum

Themes

You’re going to receive a present this month. The Giveaway shows that this present is freely given and heartfelt, so it could be delivered by someone who cares for you. The second card, The Child, reminds you to receive it will a child-like heart.

Remember when you were young and you received gifts for your birthday, holidays, or just because? That kind of energy often doesn’t continue when we become adults, so it may take you a while to channel the hope and optimism of a gift like that.

You may initially refuse it or feel awkward. But it really is meant for you!

What I find interesting is a third oracle card, The Heart of Sky. While the gift may come in a material form or act of service by someone who cares about you, it could also come as an opportunity too. But whatever form it takes, you’re going to get the distinct impression that the true origins of the gift are divine.

That means it has a higher purpose than you think. It could have symbolic meaning or be sent to you to lift your spirits in a way you didn’t even realize you needed.

Spirituality

The universe is trying to empower you this month through the Five of Bows. This is a playful and competitive energy. You’re not just being given a gift, you’re being given a tool.

If it’s material, it could be something like art supplies or something that you use. The point is you create something of greater value. If it’s an act of service or an opportunity, then what you receive will have positive consequences through your actions later on.

The universe has a plan here, and if you look closely, you might be able to discern what it is through the gift itself. But if you can’t, trust that the gift’s purpose will be revealed to you in time.

Relationships

With the Two of Bows, Reversed, it appears as if you’ll be uncertain in your relationships this month. This could cause some minor conflicts or difficulty being on the same page. However, this isn’t a huge, negative energy.

For some, it could simply represent your confusion in getting a gift. A lot of people are suspicious of gifts. For others, it’s general uneasiness on how to progress in your relationships.

Considering the universal monthly card of The Hanged Man and the yearly card The Wheel of Fortune, there could be some changes occurring in life or your relationships that are causing those connections to be redefined. You’re uncertain of where it’s going to go.

Don’t make any major decisions in your relationships you aren’t sure of this month. That should prevent you from doing something you’ll regret later on. This month is a waiting period for your social connections.

Career/Money/Hobbies

The Seven of Stones, Reversed could be a sign that the effort you put into something in this area of your life has not been rewarded. That happens sometimes and it can lead to us not wanting to take that risk again.

However, the gift you’re being given this month could be the answer to your worries. The universe has heard your disappointment and wants to make amends. Just be aware that it has a higher purpose.

This is why aligning your career, money, or hobbies to your higher purpose can be so rewarding. When people don’t, they either isolate or act in a way that’s antagonistic to the world around them. Ask yourself what you can do for other people that you want to do.

To some degree, your higher purpose is something that makes you happy and this area of life either directly answers that or supports it.

Personal Development/Miscellaneous

The suit of arrows is associated with air or the sky. And the Queen of Arrows, represented by the swan here, shows what feminine energy is associated with the oracle card Heart of the Sky.

Swans represent beauty, but they also call upon the ugly duckling story. I think you may not be aware of something spiritually significant because it seemed previously profane.

To summarize, spirituality is generally divided into profane, mundane, and sacred. But profane elements can also have spiritual significance and can be transformed or redeemed into something sacred.

This could be a sign that the gift you receive will lead to an altered perception of divine truths that you previously ignored or even disagreed with. Be prepared to question your beliefs or the way you do things.

Let me know in the comments what gift would most change your life right now. You can also just leave a 🏛️ classical building emoji to let me know the reading resonated.

Pile 3: Lady

Oracle Cards

This is an important month for you to confront something. The first card, The Hummingbird, combined with the second, The Time Master, makes it clear it will happen quickly and have a finite amount of time to act.

Hummingbirds wave their wings very fast, but not in a way that’s harried since it’s their natural state. Meanwhile, the Time Master indicates that you’re going to feel in control despite the fleeting amount of time you have to address this issue.

With The Wheel of Fortune being the universal card of the year and indicating change and The Hanged Man being the universal card of the month, this all could indicate that this action you need to take has immense importance to you.

But don’t fret. The Luminous Warrior suggests victory, not defeat, and I think you’re achieving something you’ve always wanted to succeed in. But you will need to be assertive and confrontational to achieve it.

Spirituality

The Sun of Life, Reversed could suggest spiritual difficult this month. You could feel in the shadows. I think this means whatever you’re confronting could have negative spiritual energies or is related to your mundane, rather than your spiritual life.

Be aware that this card, when reversed, isn’t that negative. But in order to be your luminous self, you need to get right spiritually.

Masculine energies will help you most. A lot of spiritual, but not religious people tend to default to the more loving energy of a feminine spiritual being rather than the protective and energizing energy of a masculine spirit.

But don’t overthink this. Your job is to feel energized through spirituality to act in your mundane life, rather than being motivated into contemplation. The goal is pouring your energy back out into the world. Sitting outside in the sun, using affirmations, doing anything with flame, and exercise are all good to help you get to that outward ready state.

Relationships

The people in your life are going to bother you less or step in and take care of things. It could be because you’re busy, but the Ten of Bows, Reversed suggests a lack of responsibility.

I don’t think that’s because you’re negligent. Instead, you’re going to be filled with so much purpose to confront and take action this month that the people around you know not to stand in your way. Some may choose to help you.

Be open to the assistance of others. This can often build new relationships or strengthen existing ones.

Career/Money/Hobbies

With the Ace of Bows, Reversed, you may not feel motivated when it comes to material things. Warriors are known for having an ascetic lifestyle. This is so they won’t feel tethered to things and people to such a degree they’ll be afraid to act.

I think you may be responsible and confrontational, but you may forget the why of what you’re doing. Try developing a fight mindset and a rest mindset. Before starting any work task, stand up and take five deep breaths.

Other small rituals like this which make you present in your body before acting will help you get in the right mindset. You can also have an affirmation statement that you look at as well (which should activate solar energy).

You need mental separation between your work self and your rest self.

Personal Development/Miscellaneous

I did sense some positive social energy in the earlier card and the Three of Vessels confirms that. This is a card of joy, so while it does appear you’ll be hard at work this month, it’s work hard, play hard: especially with others.

Warriors don’t fight for themselves. If they did, they’d be rogues. Traditionally, warriors fought for their people or abstract ideals like honor which are embedded in a social fabric. People respect warriors and that’s why you’re receiving assistance or reverence in your relationships this month.

After this reading, I want you to identify the people in your life, or the values you think are important in society, that you want to honor when it comes to your projects and actions.

These don’t have to be people you’re in love with or values you feel you’re skilled in. Instead, they should be what matters to you.
