In this episode of One Card Shy, Laura and Candy from Reign break down the universal energy of 2026 through Cardology and Higher Self guidance. The card of the year is the Jack of Spades, a card tied to spiritual initiation, truth telling, and major change in the physical world.

This isn't abstract theory. Laura explains the math behind Cardology and why this card shows up now. Then Candy goes into the Bubble to channel what 2026 actually asks of us.

The biggest theme? Flirt energy. Not with people, but with life itself.

Why It Matters

The Jack of Spades represents a shift in how you show up. Old systems are cracking, and discomfort is information pointing you toward what needs to change. This year asks you to stop locking yourself into one rigid identity and start trying on new versions of yourself depending on the moment.

What We Explored

Candy channels guidance around intuition and movement. The Jack is the actor card, which means 2026 is about responding authentically instead of pre-planning everything. Many people will surprise themselves with how they handle work, relationships, and family this year.

This podcast episode keeps circling back to flirt energy because it's the antidote to overthinking. When you flirt with life, you let yourself be curious, playful, and present instead of controlled and certain.

We also cover why "normal" is breaking down around holidays, routines, and expectations. Different people play different roles during transition—builders, holders, observers. All of it matters.

The Soul-Level Takeaway

April 17, 2026 is a major reset point. Seven planets will be in Aries, including Saturn and Neptune at zero degrees. Build your breathwork practices, boundaries, and energetic support now so you're not running on empty by spring.

Despite ongoing change, 2026 feels lighter and more forward-moving than 2025.
