Each January we gather at Gassho House to let the tarot serve as a mirror: not a forecast of what’s coming, but a reflection of what we each carry.
I’ve been paying attention to the arc:
2025 · The Hermit: We turned inward. Walked with our own lantern through terrain we couldn’t fully see.
2026 · The Wheel of Fortune: The turning happened whether we were ready or not.
2027 · Justice: And soon we arrive at the midpoint.
THE INNER FACULTY
Justice at XI is the hinge of the entire Major Arcana: the literal midpoint of the Fool’s journey. The first half moves outward: learning, encountering, being acted upon by forces larger than yourself. At XI, the journey turns.
What turns inward is the capacity to see what is actually true: not what we’ve been taught, not what we’ve agreed to, not even what we wish. The oldest root of this archetype is Maat, the Egyptian goddess who weighs the heart against a feather. Her inquiry is not about what you can argue or justify. It’s about what you can carry.
2027 is also a Master Number 11 year: two pillars, a threshold. The wisdom it reflects has been cultivated through everything the Hermit walked and everything the Wheel set in motion.
Why This Year is Special
For the first time, Align with the Divine is a weekend sleepover. We’ll begin Saturday morning and close Sunday afternoon, giving us more space to breathe, rest, and let the magic truly settle in.
We’ll also gather at a cosmological seam: January 16 falls in the final weeks of the Year of the Fire Horse, just three weeks before the Year of the Goat arrives on February 6. We’ll sit in that threshold space, the Horse’s momentum still present, while the Goat’s quieter wisdom just begins to take shape on the horizon.
During Our Time Together We Will
Explore the year ahead, spending time with each month through tarot, movement, and inquiry
Share in ceremony that honors the sacred and the everyday
Nourish ourselves with beautiful meals and meaningful conversation
