Corner Symbols: Fire, Air, Water, Earth Explained

Just because a very chaotic 2025 is coming to an end and a new year is about to begin doesn’t mean you can ignore the personal challenges you’ve managed to sweep under the rug…

2026 is the year you’ll face the mirror based on the 10th card of the Tarot, The Wheel of Fortune (the divine mirror of self-reflection), and all of those obstacles will re-appear. What you choose to do — or don’t do — to resolve these challenges may determine the fragile difference between taking control of your life or being controlled by others.

Paul shares his 2026 forecast including a roadmap for your spiritual survival this week on Spirit Gym.

For Spirit Gym listeners: To get the most out of Paul’s 2026 solocast, we encourage you to watch it on his YouTube channel. Also, you can access a PDF of his extensive resources for this episode here.
