General Meaning

The World card points to the presiding wisdom which upholds life on this and all worlds. In most Tarot decks, it is a female figure that has become our standard World image. She originates in Hebrew, Gnostic, and Alchemical lore, and stands between heaven and Earth as the cosmic mother of souls, the wife of God, and our protector from the karmic forces we have set loose upon the Earth in our immaturity and ignorance.

The goddess of The World card invites us into cosmic citizenship — once we come to realize our soul’s potential for it. It announces the awakening of the soul’s immortal being, accomplished without the necessity of dying.

This card, like the Sun, is reputed to have no negative meaning no matter where or how it appears. If the Hermetic axiom is “Know Thyself”, this image represents what becomes known when the true nature of self is followed to creative freedom and its ultimate realization.

In the Advice Positon

The World card may be giving you permission to do whatever you want. Presently, your motivation is close to the will of the divine. Even if you commit an error, it will be turned to the greater good. Stay active and just keep moving forward. It is unnecessary to keep checking or interrupting your spontaneity with calculation. Rather than look for consensus or affirmation from others, simply dance the dance. In other words, express yourself, react naturally, and let the chips fall where they may.

What matters is divine intention. Whether or not human beings approve is less important. If you allow your ego to inflate, however, you cease to be useful to the greater plan.

The phrase "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" means that when a person is open and prepared to learn, the right teacher or source of knowledge will come into their life to guide them.

C. S. Lewis

“One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.”

C. S. Lewis was a British writer who valued moral clarity and intellectual honesty. He believed cowardice often disguises itself as comfort. This quote confronts deliberate ignorance. Closing one’s eyes feels safer than facing consequence. Yet denial carries its own moral cost. Lewis insisted that truth demands courage before belief. His words challenge quiet complicity.

January 2026 Astrology Overview

Written by Faculty student, Zlatina Dimova

January opens as a threshold month, where intention rapidly seeks expression through action. As illusions dissolve, the focus turns toward mature decision-making, ethical responsibility, and psychological honesty. Throughout the month, themes of power, attraction and transformation unfold on both personal and collective levels.

With only Jupiter and Uranus retrograde, growth initially turns inward. This is a time of internal recalibration before outward expansion, inviting reflection on how we use will, authority and desire.

The month begins under a Mercurial fog, as Mercury’s square to Neptune blurs the boundary between belief and reality. As Mercury moves into Capricorn on 1 January, clarity begins to return, helping translate intuition into structure, plans and achievable goals.

Chiron’s direct station in Aries on 2 January reactivates questions of identity, courage and self-assertion. Healing begins through the willingness to act despite vulnerability and fear.

The Full Moon in Cancer on 3 January illuminates emotional memory, family dynamics and unmet needs, revealing tensions between emotional safety and responsibility. As Venus and Mars unite later in the month, desire and assertion intensify, calling for conscious engagement with passion, anger and motivation.

The New Moon in Capricorn on 18 January marks a powerful moment for setting long-term intentions grounded in discipline and realism. Supportive links to Uranus and Saturn–Neptune encourage innovation guided by intuition, helping ambition align with deeper meaning.

January culminates with significant shifts as Neptune moves into Aries on 26 January, initiating a generational movement from passive idealism toward embodied vision and courageous faith.

This is a month that asks for conscious beginnings.
