Message in the Bones for 2026 – the Year Ahead
Contributed by Tamara Zenobia
So, I threw the bones for the year ahead, and let me tell you, they were very clear. This message has been ringing in my ear for a few weeks now. The message was real simple: stay focused. That’s it. That’s the word. No long speech. No drama. Just focus.
Now listen. This isn’t a message to ignore what is going on in the world. The news is loud, social media is louder, and everybody’s got an opinion, a think piece, and a hot take. Every day it’s something new to be mad about, worried about, or arguing over. And meanwhile, life is still lifting. Bills are still due. Dreams are still waiting. Time is still moving.
The bones were very clear about this: the world is going to turn no matter what. It always has. Sitting around all day talking about how bad things are is not a plan. It might feel productive, but it doesn’t actually produce anything. 2026 will be the year to get real serious about your life. What are you working toward? What are you building? What needs your attention that you keep putting off?
Because here’s the truth that showed up in the bones: distraction is the biggest dream-killer out there. Not failure. Not fear. Distraction. Watching everything, reacting to everything, and never actually moving on anything.
We live in a time where thoughts travel fast. Words move fast. One post, one video, one idea can circle the globe in minutes. And that means what we focus on, what we keep repeating, sharing, and saying, has power. A lot of it.
The bones say, be careful what you keep feeding. If you stay glued to chaos, chaos grows. If you keep talking like everything is doomed, your spirit starts believing it. But if you stay focused on vision, purpose, and what you are called to do, something different starts to happen. That’s not magic talk. That’s real life.
2026 is about having a plan, even a small one, especially a small one, and then working on it. Not perfectly. Just consistently. Once again, the message is not to ignore the world like nothing is happening. The message is asking you not to lose yourself in it. Guard your mind. Limit the noise. Do what you need to do to stay grounded. Turn the news off sometimes. Put the phone down. Check back in with your own life.
This is a year where the people who stay focused, who keep their eyes on their own paper, are going to look up one day and realize they’ve moved farther than they thought possible. So let the world do what it does. You stay focused. Keep building. Mind your vision like it’s precious, because it is.
And that is my reading for not only the month but the general energy for the whole year. As always, thank you for reading. If you have a question you’d like to share for the paper, reach out to me at tamarazenobia.com. Happy New Year.
