What to Expect in 2026: Spiritual Advisors Look to the Future with Hope for Brighter Days and Good News

2026 Forecast via Channeling and Divination Cards: This is not an official forecast nor a cold analysis. This is a conversation between two spiritual advisors, Tami Goldstein (the writer of these lines) and Roni Hochberg, with the help of channeling and fortune telling cards.

Two women observe the same reality, but give it different interpretations. By dividing the year into quarters and areas of interest, they present a forecast of what may happen during 2026. It is a sharp and at times moving reading of political, security, and social processes, combined with a human and spiritual perspective that seeks to understand where things may converge — and how a better world can be shaped, one that works for the benefit of all of us.

Tensions, struggles for control and fears, and also seeds of optimism

It appears that Israel is entering a year in which there is no single clear story, but rather a multitude of voices, pressures, and parallel realities. In the conversation between Tami and Roni, a complex picture of a year filled with tensions, struggles for control, and fears unfolds, along with seeds of optimism—the possibility of change, new connections, and an opening for correction.

The general feeling towards 2026 is of a mixture of trends, extreme situations and ignoring events that require early treatment — before they develop into uncontrollable proportions. The world is seeing a radicalization of positions for and against Israel, and it turns out that not everyone who wants to expel Muslim immigrants from their country is necessarily a supporter of Israel. In many places, hatred of immigrants goes hand in hand with hatred of Jews.

A large Jewish immigration and its impact on the economy

Israel is the refuge for world Jewry. The forecast shows that during 2026 there will be a large influx of Jews, mainly older ones, which could weigh on the economy because the immigrants are not of working age. The rental housing market, on the other hand, will benefit from the process.

It is clear that the struggles will not stop this year, the social tensions and the security tension will continue. There does not seem to be an exit from Gaza in the first half of the year and the relationship with Lebanon, Syria and, for that matter, with Iran, is constantly on the verge of explosion, but without exploding. In the last quarter of the year, it appears that there is beginning to be light after a cloudy period. We remain optimistic and hope for internal peace and understanding with the countries of the world, praying that in the end, it will be good.

Activities Politically, under pressure, distrust in security institutions, and strengthening family ties. First quarter, January to March

Tammy: "In terms of security, there is no dramatic change. There are talks and heavy pressure on the government to withdraw from Gaza, but in practice there is no full understanding with the forces in the various arenas, neither in Gaza nor in Lebanon. Tensions are escalating, and the Iranian threat is strengthening. There is no trust in the country's security institutions, and it is necessary to improve the image of the police and the Shin Bet in order to restore a sense of stability to citizens."

Roni: "We are sailing in a fog. There is no clear leadership, there is a fear of taking responsibility. National security is not becoming clearer, but personal security is. Each family is strengthening itself, the home, the close circle. People trust less in the state and more in themselves."

Tammy: "From a political perspective, ideas are emerging for outlines, perhaps even attempts to outline parts of a Palestinian state, but everything is not clear-cut. In domestic politics, there are legislative initiatives that radicalize internal relations in Israel, while at the same time, public discourse is managed through biased reports that present any attempt at internal peace as weakness. The extreme right is getting stronger, sometimes through initiated conflicts. In this quarter, it is still working, but the trend is starting to weaken. It seems difficult to know what is true, fake and truth are mixing, and everyone chooses what to believe."

Roni: "Politically, the internal wars continue, there is rapid legislation without a broad vision, an attempt to create a reality that suits the government's agenda. Economically, the situation is also not good, and the internal conflict is reflected in the pocketbook. It is worth acting cautiously, giving up luxuries and finding joy in the little things."

Tammy: "Many households are entering into distress. I see that large companies are getting stronger, small businesses are closing, and many entrepreneurs are leaving the country. Social and economic gaps are growing. What is saving us is the defense industries and international connections in that regard. At the same time, I must warn that this situation is not the safest because the leakage of knowledge outside could harm the future of the defense industry."

Roni: "Socially and spiritually, there is a deep division. The recommendation is to rest, turn inward, and give up the search for external justice. In the world, two forces are growing stronger: the power of light and the power of darkness. The egos of those seeking power are growing, but the number of people who want to do good is also increasing."

Tammy: "Socially and spiritually, it seems that more people are looking for answers in religion and faith. There is comfort, but also a sense of loss of direction and a lack of coherence between effort and result. In the world, the riots continue, there are political tensions disguised as moral tensions, and at the same time a period of extreme weather that is harming many. Global politics is influenced by pressures from communities, not all of which are in favor of Israel."

Second quarter, April to June 2026: Eruptions of things that were beneath the surface and the beginning of change

Tami says that from a security perspective, spring brings with it outbreaks: Individual attacks, attempted infiltration, tensions at the borders, and the risk of short-range missile attacks. Weapons in the hands of civilians are increasing, and trust in the security systems is decreasing. At the same time, there is a beginning to be a search for agreements with neighboring countries. "Politically, the situation is getting tougher, there will be attempts to control the media, attacks on legal institutions, and power struggles between various bodies. Economically, there is an adaptation to the new situation. Apartment prices are rising again and the number of new apartments under construction is decreasing. Jobs are closing and opening, small businesses are being established to supplement income. It seems that a "black money" economy is beginning."

 Roni says that from a security perspective, despite the bombings, there is a chance for a ceasefire and talks that will increase the sense of security: "Politically, ties with the world are strengthening. There is more outreach, better diplomacy, and international achievements. High-tech and technology are in better shape. Old businesses will struggle, but new initiatives will emerge and there will be no surge in unemployment. We are growing from pain. It is time to increase our inner fire and dare to be reborn. Improvements are expected in the education system, with more attention paid to the child's emotions and psyche. There will be outbreaks of natural phenomena in the world, but also the development of new ways of knowing. Humanity is looking for tools to influence reality."

Tammy In terms of new paths that are opening up spiritually, meditations and spiritual currents from abroad are taking their place and filling the need for an experience of security. Something to rely on. At the same time, Israelis are gaining cultural recognition in the world, cinema, music and science. The weather in the world continues to be extreme, floods, the flooding of islands, extreme heat, and drought."  

Third quarter, July to September: Between concealment and awakening, the summer when the truth seeks to be heard

Roni "I see that from a security perspective, agreements are being signed, there are understandings and assistance from friendly countries. In August, the political picture in Israel becomes clearer, who is rising, who is weakening. The weak are experiencing defeat. The family economy is better than the political economy, to a large extent a better period is beginning, but those who were on the verge of poverty may fall. The pressure is great. We need to guard our words, choose goodness and not struggles. There are no equal opportunities for everyone and poverty creates gaps and tension. On a global level, people are tired of wars. They want to travel, live, experience movement and freedom."

Tammy She says that from a security perspective, much is hidden from the public, and there is a deliberate concealment of information in order to manipulate situations. Powers are intervening and making moves difficult. There is a danger of border disputes, along with the beginning of talks that seek solutions. In terms of internal politics, we are entering a period before elections, and socially, there is radicalization, mind engineering, and conspiracies. The closure of communication channels is expected, apparently to narrow the spectrum of opinions. The elections may be delayed due to health problems of senior officials. The exodus from the country of families seeking a different future, along with protests over rising taxes and the cost of living, is strengthening the rift between the political camps, and there is an urgent need for unifying intervention. Alongside all of this, issues of spirituality, nature, mysticism, and alternative medicine are gaining strength. Political radicalization between the right and the left continues around the world, and there are violent incidents that make headlines. "Another thing that makes headlines is a scientific achievement that Israel or Israelis abroad have, and that gives a positive, strengthening wave."

Fourth quarter, October to December 2026: Towards Reunification – When Tension Eases and the Heart Remembers Unity

Neither Tami nor Roni sees any major political upheavals for now. Tami says there will be attempts to form a government, resignations of party members, political chaos. There is no clear agenda. Roni also doesn't see an immediate change of government. "I see the development of new technologies, advanced tools, and from a security perspective, ceasefires. Order and success."

Tami sees high tension in the security aspect, short operations on all borders, and at the same time talks for agreements. Personal security is rising, civilian systems of protection and defense are taking shape alongside the political systems. "Despite the chaos, I see that the economy is beginning to stabilize and a sense of growth is evident. The world loves us less, but also less people protest against us, probably as a result of the talks that are taking place openly and secretly in an attempt to resolve the conflict. It seems that a crisis is evident in the American administration, as Trump is apparently losing power and hoping to rely on factors that he has so far preferred to avoid, which raises questions about the continuation of American-Israeli cooperation."

Roni sees an economic horizon. "Sales of companies, international money coming to Israel, moves by Israeli economic initiative and personal courage that create a horizon. The external reality reflects the interior. It seems that there is an improvement in the general feeling. We know that interpretation is the key to happiness, and therefore it is better to see the other in a positive light. A significant improvement in social processes is expected. Initiatives are emerging that connect young and old, more people leaving the house and doing things together. From a global perspective, there is a strengthening of philanthropy, help for the weak, more community centers are operating and there is an attempt to bridge the differences between the various sectors. In terms of the weather in the world, it is still extreme, mainly cold, and there is a need for mutual guarantees between countries of abundance and countries where there is great poverty."

Tami also sees a decrease in tension between the right and the left, and an understanding that unity is needed. "It seems that people have already exhausted their anger and there is a desire to regroup as a people, to feel a sense of belonging and love. There is a climate upheaval in the world. Floods, fires, a dormant volcano that is becoming active again. We are entering a difficult ecological period, but there is mutual aid, support in crises and an understanding that we must do things for each other, also as a world, in order to preserve life."

In the dialogue between Tami and Roni, the year 2026 is portrayed as a challenging and difficult year, but one that is still open to change. This change may occur with a change in attitude and consciousness, with the understanding that the choice between fear and courage, and between division and connection, is required in every arena—and can carry with it good news.
