ARMY 2025/2026 Outlook - Group 2
Energy Check
Group 2 would appear to be entirely centered around emotional and mental purging through a creative outlet, something that feels very on par with the elements of Alchemy, Inspiration, revival, healing, and heightened creativity that was shown in the main outlook reading.
At the very top, you have The Tear, the Cosmic Flower, Creativity, and Clean It Up. The Tear shows this group to be in a heavier spot, or carrying heavier emotions, that on some level are going to alchemize into something that looks more like ink, paint, or even jewels, becoming tools and materials to be used in creative projects of some kind. There is a sense of these tears, or this creative flow having been locked up for a while in the dark, causing what used to be or is supposed to be a clear flowing river to look more like a still, murky pond. This may be connected to aspects of Shadow Work, self-discovery, and deeper emotional processing that follows the acceptance or discovery of these underlying feelings or experiences.
With Cosmic Flower and Creativity in the center, both focusing on active and outwardly displayed creativity and creation in general, they spark a wave of Fire energy, of very active and charged up energy that fuels the body and mind to bring that creative energy out into the world, or bring a vision to life.
Creativity is associated with the Sacral Chakra and can come with a level of personal empowerment that blends into the Cosmic Flower’s description that says “the frequency of Cosmic Flower activates our remembrance of the place we call home — the core from which we pour our magnificence out into the world.” This description brought to mind the inner world, or the space I see visually for people where their soul meets their consciousness and is essentially the point where the soul meets the body. On some level, for some of you, you may actually dig so deep into yourself that you end up discovering that inner world, or that deeper connection to yourself, which could feel a lot like digging in the ground and finding oil, or winning a natural lottery of inspiration from within.
Upon making this discovery or connection, the energy moves into the last card, Clean It Up. This literally feels like the soul and conscious mind working together to clear out the system on multiple levels — mental alchemy, emotional purging, energetic cleansing, and a sprucing up of the inner world, or sprucing up of the inner sense of centeredness or connection to your own mind and body.
Warning
Your warning for this coming year is represented by the Wheel of Fortune, which feels less like a warning and more of a heads up regarding a potential turn around in your life or within your mental and emotional states that will trigger this wild influx of creative energy and personal flow. The Wheel of Fortune can really turn things around on many levels, going in directions that could be either good or bad depending on the circumstances, but for everyone in Group 2, this feels very much like a faucet being turned on that allows the tears to flow. Something upset could happen that causes this emotional shift, that prompts you to do the inner work and exploration, but ultimately, there will be a turn around that leads you into a period of creative purging and healing where you are using some kind of art or creation to help you clear out the mind, body, and spirit of negative or heavier emotions.
Blessing
Your blessing is represented by the King of Cups, which relays emotional stability, security, and a sense of self-control, especially in the way you take things in and how you respond to them. The suit of Cups connects to the deeper emotional, intitive, and creative space, and with the King here, it shows a level of dominance over these matters. The Kings bring in Earth energy, applying stability and authority that solidifies the energies and influences of the suits they belong to.
In this coming year, your blessing will be one that you curate for yourself over time, one that begins with you getting a good grip on your emotional center, and then commanding or defining a pathway outward that is constructive and healing, allowing you to express and release deeper emotional pressures through creative work.
Progression
The state of progression that you will be in is shown with the reversed 5 of Pentacles, which is a process of releasing lack mentalities. Upright, this card is associated with a sense of both physical and spiritual lack, leaving the people in the card to feel as if they do not have what they need to survive, or do not have what they need in order to contribute to their family, friends, or broader community. For some of you, I was seeing this as being a matter of believing that you have nothing to contribute as you maybe don’t view the work you do or current contributions to be anything special or significant, while for others, this could be a matter of having ideas, inspiration, and very clear visions of things you want to do, or want to create, but you do not have the time, energy, or resources in order to do it.
With the reversed 5 of Pentacles being your progression, it displays a process of deconstructing beliefs around your perceived limitations, both within yourself and out in the world. The 5 of Pentacles, in comparison to the rest of the energies present here in this reading, is very solid, rigid, and Earthy, something that can conflict with or entrap the flowing Fire and Water energies we see with Creativity and The Tear. There is a process that feels like the eroding of a dam that will eventually burst, lining up with that Wheel of Fortune energy that felt like a faucet turning on, and bring about a very clear flow of inspiration, creativity, and a sense of empowerment through the Cosmic Flower that will liberate you from these perceived confines.
How To Work Through It
When it comes to working through this progression, The High Priestess very directly opposes the 5 of Pentacles in the sense that the 5 of Pentacles is associated with religion or churches, a lack of belief, or a belief that contributes to your sense or perception of lack within yourself or your life. The High Priestess feels much more connected to personal spiritual philosophy, a higher sense of self-governing and self-defined beliefs. This card is prompting you to, first and foremost, view yourself as The High Priestess, as an empowered being that is connected to the inner and outer flow, a person who is a conduit of creative and emotional energy, someone who allows these energies to flow through them rather than someone who gets swept away and overwhelmed by them. You can also attach this to the King of Cup as his energy would help you do the same, but on a more mundane, conscious level. In another sense, you could look at The High Priestess as how you deal with your inner self and the King of Cups as how you deal with the outside world — the King stabilizes himself within the flow, and The High Priestess aligns herself with it and allows it to be channeled and expressed through her.
Keywords
Your keywords are “observing,” “guide,” and “artist.” The note of observation displays that you are in a process of learning, honing a skill, or taking note of something. It specifies a process of learning based around guiding yourself, or learning to channel through heavier emotions and beliefs as an artist, as a creator in some capacity. You’re literally traversing your own inner world, mapping out the place, and then, as an artist, giving people a tour of that inner world, and affirming to yourself that you know how to move through it rather than getting swept away by it.
