The Seven of Swords from the Modern Witch Tarot

Your Tarot Mentor for January 2026:
The Seven of Swords

Theme: Self-advocacy

Action/Advice: Make a strong initiation, then follow-up

How it might show up in your life:
Competitions where you have an edge, making the most of an early lead, confidence and strategic communication

In relationships: Initiating before your rival does, staying in touch through texts and social media

In work/career: Getting a scoop from a friend on the inside, being more prepared than your competition

The Seven of Swords suggests a secret advantage. Something you want is something that others want too – but you have an edge. Go ahead and make the most of an early lead, or use that contact to get another interview. Keep the channels of communication open and keep reaching out with your social media. There is a tiny warning with this card: you might need to be a little pushy and advocate for yourself, but don’t be shady. Staking an early claim and staying in touch is what will seal the deal. Sometimes you have to sell yourself, and this card suggests that that’s what this next cycle is all about.
