Weekly Tarot Forecast: May 10 – May 16, 2026

This week, we encounter the challenging energy of the Five of Swords. This card often signals a period of indirect communication, short- sighted perception, and the temptation to take "selfish action." It represents the drive to win at any cost—even if that means using unfair tactics or harsh words to get a message across.

While these maneuvers might help us secure a temporary victory, the Five of Swords warns that they come with a heavy price tag: damaged boundaries and strained relationships. This week is a call to audit how you communicate. Are you speaking to be heard, or are you speaking to "win"? To navigate this energy successfully, try to avoid language that could harm or alienate others. It is important to hold onto your core beliefs, but stay flexible enough to remain open to suggestions and positive change.

Ritual Tools: The Wicked Witch Mojo Collection

To help you navigate these tricky interpersonal waters and stay true to your higher self, we’ve selected these tools from the Wicked Witch Mojo line, currently in stock at Type 40 Sales:

• Making Tracks (Wicked Witch Mojo Candle): Sometimes the best way to handle a Five of Swords situation is to simply leave the drama behind. If you find yourself in a "win at all costs" battle that no longer serves you, this candle provides the momentum to exit gracefully. It helps you stop spinning your wheels in conflict and start moving toward a healthier, more productive environment. 

• Outta My Way (Wicked Witch Mojo Candle): This week can feel like a mental or social "clog" filled with passive-aggression and static. Use this "spiritual drain opener" to clear the toxic energy and indirect communication from your space. It helps remove the friction so you can move forward without getting bogged down in other people's dramas or your own defensive reactions.

• Red Stilettos (Wicked Witch Mojo Candle): Rather than using "cruel tactics" to get ahead, use this candle to tap into genuine, charismatic confidence. It encourages you to step out with such poise and authority that you don't need to tear others down to be seen. It helps you maintain your boundaries and presence while remaining open and approachable.
