308. MONTHLY MEDICINE: From Knot to Straight Rope

308. MONTHLY MEDICINE: From Knot to Straight Rope

Author: Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul February 1, 2026 Duration: 39:38

February is a beautiful, transformative portal, one that has the capacity to truly change and alter aspects of our lives that have been stuck and unyielding for so long. 

The theme for our month ahead is From Knot to Straight Rope. In February, we will likely be confronted with some of our deep "knots," ones that have felt perpetually twisted, confused, and tricky. We actually have the potential to unknot them this month, and smooth them into something new. Once that has shifted, what could be possible for us? The options are endless. 

Between the cards for our month ahead, the energy of the upcoming Eclipses, and the full might of this 1/10/19 year going into full effect, February is gearing up to be a truly profound experience of deep change for us, personally and collectively. 


Card for the month ahead: Eight of Swords

Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Ace of Pentacles

How can we best work with the energy of the month ahead?: Ace of Wands, Rx

What are we being invited to pay attention to?: Three of Wands
