Planetary Days vs. Your Personal Planetary Day

Did you know that via Cardology, you have a specific planet that rules each day of the week? Whatever day you were born on is your Mercury day. If you were born on a Sunday, that is the start of your week, and Sunday is your Mercury day, making Monday your Venus day, Wednesday would be your Jupiter day, and so on, with your week ending on your Neptune day.

As well, in Astrology, each day is ruled by a specific planet.

Sunday is the Sun

Monday is the Moon.

Tuesday is Mars.

Wednesday is Mercury.

Thursday is Jupiter.

Friday is Venus.

Saturday is Saturn.

As part of working with astrological energies, we can plan or activate the planetary energy of the day in our daily routines to match and resonate with it.

But what if the ancient pairing of a day of the week to a planet doesn’t match your personal planetary day with your cards?

This post will clarify that and give you some ideas of how you can work with what might feel like contradicting or opposing daily energies! You don’t have to choose one over the other.

First off, if you don’t know what day you were born on, you can go here, https://www.timeanddate.com/date/weekday.html put in your birthday and it will tell you what day you were born on.
In Cardology, the day you were born is always your Mercury day. It is the day that starts your personal week. If you were born on a Monday, your personal week goes from Monday to Sunday. (Did you know that you have a weekly forecast as well as your personal daily card?)

Cardology doesn’t have a ‘Sun’ or ‘Moon’ day like Astrology and Astrology doesn’t have a Uranus or Neptune day like Cardology.

If using the planetary days of the week is something that interests you, how can you honor both your personal planet of the day and the astrological planet of the day?

First, a list of the Astrological planetary days and what the energetic focus is:

-Sunday is the Sun and focuses on your vitality – what energizes you? What makes you feel seen and focuses on YOU.

-Monday is the Moon day and focuses on you emotional needs and nurturing yourself. It’s a great day to check in on your emotional state and what is needed in that area.

-Tuesday is Mar’s day and focuses on action, activity, moving your body, creating and releasing heat and asks you about your courage and assertion.

-Wednesday is Mercury’s day and focuses on communicating, talking, learning and writing/sharing! Fast-paced and subject to sudden changes.

-Thursday is Jupiter’s day and focuses on optimism, going big, taking a risk and doing things that take you to higher levels – of thinking, of living and of your faith.
Jupiter also loves to travel!

-Friday is Venus’s day and focuses on beauty, art, love, relationships, feeling good about yourself and life!

-Saturday is Saturn’s day and focuses on responsibilities (chores?!?) structure, systems and even solitude.

Notice there isn’t a Uranus or Neptune day?

Yet, with your personal planetary day via Cardology, you have a Uranus and Neptune day – but not a Sun or Moon day.

Can you honor both your personal planetary days and the astrological days?

We’ve had numerous conversations on this topic in our Empowering You zoom gatherings.

For 2025, I’m finding myself wanting to be more in tune with nature, and my own personal rhythms and cycles, so I revisited this topic.

Below is a simple chart you can use to know the basic planetary energies for each of the planets, on the day they were assigned through astrology:

The energy of the Planet and ways to work with it is in the middle column. I kept it short, but you can be creative with how you use the energy.
The last column is where you can put in your personal planet via Cardology for each day of the week.
Now you can utilize both and create things, experiences, activities or space to honor the natural energy of your days. (A pdf of the chart to download)

Astrology Days	Energy to Use	Your Cardology Day
Sunday – Sun	Sunday is for you, to help you feel energized, give you vitality and to shine a light on you, your inner child, and to use sunshine! Whatever planet is on your Sunday, use its energy to help revitalize you.
Monday – Moon	Focuses on your emotional needs and nurturing yourself. It’s a great day to check in on your emotional state, what you need to nurture yourself or connect with your intuition.
Tuesday – Mars	Focuses on action, activity, moving your body, creating and releasing heat and asks you about your courage and assertion. Mars can be about sports, competition and even sex!
Wednesday – Mercury	Focus is on communicating, talking, learning, reading, writing/sharing! Fast-paced and subject to sudden changes.
Thursday – Jupiter	Focuses on optimism, going big, taking a risk and doing things that take you to higher levels – of thinking, of living and of your faith. Jupiter also loves to travel!
Friday – Venus	Focuses on beauty, art, love, relationships, your material possessions (what you want to have) feeling good about yourself and life!
Saturday – Saturn	Focuses on responsibilities (chores?!?) structure, systems, routines and even solitude.
Uranus (there is no astrological Uranus day, but you have a Personal Uranus day in Cardology)	Uranus focuses on disruptions, getting out of status quo, shaking up your routine, being a part of a community, being authentically you, progressive and innovative and weird!
Neptune (there is no astrological Neptune day, but you have a Personal Neptune day in Cardology)	Neptune focuses on the spiritual world, dreams, imagination, escapism – to nourish yourself through Neptune, use entertainment that opens your imagination and your connection to the unseen world of Spirit.

If the energies are contradictory, establish your rules of what you prefer NOT to do on your personal planetary day(s) that conflicts with the day.
You might not be able to tell your boss that on Mondays, you can only daydream and take care of your emotional needs (If Mondays are your Neptune day), but you can establish a routine of taking a bubble bath on Monday evenings or taking the time to write in your dream journal and taking note of what your psyche is telling you about your emotional needs.

We all have our day to day stuff that is part of our job, our family or schedules we can’t control, but we can still use the energy of the day and our personal planets energy to create something to honor that and our natural rhythm.

The Big Story for 2021 – Saturn and Uranus – What Are Your Saturn and Uranus Cards Trying To Tell You?

If you follow astrology, you know that the big players for 2021 are Saturn and Uranus. They’re in a fight ring, one in each corner and we are watching this grand show play out. It’s a battle of change vs. the status quo.

I won’t go into all the astrological details; you can google it and many articles come up about it – like this one over at Big Sky Astrology: https://www.bigskyastrology.com/saturn-square-uranus-retrofitting/

The point of this post is to focus on the Saturn and Uranus cards of your personal Path spread.

Just like you have a Saturn and Uranus sign and house in your Natal chart, you have your Saturn and Uranus card(s).

Our Saturn card shows us where in life and in what way we’ll feel restrictions, limitations and have to really work at something in order to hone it.

Saturn – as much as it might hurt and create our challenges – is what helps us better ourselves in regard to how disciplined and responsible we are. It can be the work (sometimes career) we end up doing in our life.

I always think of it as the stern P.E teacher that made us run the sand hills in Arizona where I grew up. Dang, that wasn’t fun! But it sure made us stronger.

Saturn brings structure and boundaries to our life. It can be the controlling, authoritarian energy we feel – keeping us in line – and it likes tradition, rules, and hard work.

Uranus, on the other hand is quite the opposite! It breaks the rules, seeks freedom, shakes things up and is rebellious. It starts revolutions and refuses to play by the rules.

Your Uranus card shows where and how in your life you’ll break the rules, be rebellious and it is the gift that helps you break free of the status quo that is keeping you from moving forward.

So, back to this 2021 battle in the sky of Saturn and Uranus-

Freedom vs. Restriction

Tradition vs. New Ways

Uranus shouts “I don’t want to anymore!”

Saturn walks in and says, “You better behave, now go to your room!”

We are feeling and watching this play out globally.

Mask, no mask.

Vaccine, no vaccine.

Traditional ways of making money, new ways of making money (or money not being the only motivating factor in our lives!)

The list goes on and somewhere in your personal life, you are feeling this tug, this battle between the old way and the new way.

So, how about a check in with your cards?

Pull up two chairs and invite your Saturn card and your Uranus card to have a seat.

They are facing each other. They both have something to say and they both have their position and what they are giving and doing for you.

But it might feel in conflict right now.

I’m a 6♣ and my Saturn card is the K♠ – holy schmoly! Yep, that K♠ is definitely the big daddy-o, King of Kings, can-be-a-bully-needs-to-master-and-be-responsible.

When he walked in and sat down in the chair, my plants stood at attention and my two dogs huddled in the corner.

My Uranus card is the 3♥ – when she walked in, she was dressed in bohemian paisley, with bright pink hair, dried paint still on her face and a joint propped on her ear.

Can you hear the conversation?

“What do you think you’re doing young lady?” asks the King.

“None of your effin biznaass old man…”

By now the dogs are trying to get out the door and I’m holding my breath.

I continue to watch and listen as they go back and forth…

And I know where this is playing out in my life. I’ve asked my wise council friends for help to sort this stuff out.

It’s even played out in regards to my actual father, as our Saturn card can reveal that energy in our lives.

The thing is, they both have their gifts for you.

Right now, it’s not about one winning over the other, its about showing you where that polarization or conflict is in your life.

— Where can I up expressing my creative, heartfelt desires (3♥) and be responsible, dedicated and a leader with it? (K♠)

–How can my rebellious nature break open some out-dated tradition that has served it’s time and is over in my life?

If these two cards kept talking, what conclusion would come about?

–Am I taking sides with one over the other?

–Am I gaining wisdom from both?

–Is one scared of the other?

–Are you being pulled to step out of your comfort zone in some area, but you’re afraid you don’t have what it takes to go there?

Your Saturn card actually gives you the strength to do it – are you letting that happen?

I challenge you to dress them up and play out this scenario.

Give your Saturn card life, make it a character that reveals this part of you.

Give your Uranus card a life and see what it looks like, what it needs and what it is helping you with.

Let them talk, or fight, or dance or whatever your particular cards would do and hear them out.

And I’d love to know what you learn about yourself!

3 Reasons Why A Venus Connection Goes Awry

Venus Relationship — 3 Reasons Why A Venus Conection Goes Awry

In my last blog post I talked about new parents I know and the relationships of all of their cards. They all have many positive connections and it all sounds so idyllic!

But what if you have Venus or Jupiter connections between you and other friends/family and it isn’t so sweet and loving?

Yes, it happens.

How can that be?

It has happened to me and I’ve seen it happen with several friends. You suddenly aren’t getting along AT ALL or even end a relationship with someone you have a Venus relationship with.

I have many Venus connections with my biological family, yet, there were many years of abuse and NO connection at all.

While there are many reasons for the turning upside down of any relationship, I wanted to address the Venus relationship specifically.

Here are 3 reasons why a Venus connection can go awry:

1 – Are either of you living the negative side of your Venus?

As with everything in life, the cards and planets have both their positive and their negative aspects. We’ve lived in a world of duality. (<—- yes, that sentence was past-tense, but that is a post for another day!)

Venus is about LOVE. It is romance, connection, beauty, art, pleasure, bliss and Venus energy seeks to create harmony, so you can see how having a Venus connection with someone can create a very easy, loving relationship.

However, what is the opposite of Love? It is Fear.

Astrologer Steven Forrest says that the dysfunctional side of Venus is: Indolence, being manipulative, vanity, spinelessness and chronic abandonment to sensuality.

If one, or both of the parties involved is disowning or suppressing their true pleasure, bliss, sensuality or are fearing LOVE (in any way), then the relationship will reflect back to them any of the parts they are disowning. This creates a repulsion feeling and any of the dysfunctional aspects of Venus will show up in the relationship.

While we can’t do the work for the other person, if any negativity is going on, we can make sure we are clear, aware and healing it on our end.

2 – Are either of you jealous of the other person?

Check in to see if you are jealous of anything they seemingly have in their life that you wish you had. Because Venus is about experiencing our true pleasure and bliss in life, it can bring up issues around our guilt, shame or suppression of genuine pleasure and joy.

Is there any type of pleasure, love or even things they have that you want, but are feeling you can’t ever have?

Are they expressing happiness when you are feeling very unhappy in your life?

Did they reach a goal they were after, yet you are still struggling to reach yours?

Fights, arguments, passive-aggressive behavior and abuse can flair up or even be ever present between two people who have a Venus connection because these issues will be high-lighted when you are together.

The friendship or family bond can start out as sweet and loving, then turn on a dime to never recover UNLESS the disowned/suppressed issues are healed.

It can be devastating when this happens between a parent/child, siblings or even a couple because that original, organic deep love is still there even while both parties ae feeling such negativity. Those are the relationships you can’t just say adios to and walk away to forget it all in a few weeks.

3- Are either of you confusing Venus Love with Sex?

Another reason the Venus apple cart can topple is when one party confuses Venus connection with sex.

How does this play out?

Let’s say a father has a Venus connection with his daughter. His own sexuality is wounded and as she grows up, he starts having ‘unhealthy’ feelings towards her (because he is experiencing the Venus energy, but has it confused with his sexual issues), so what does he do?

He disconnects from her (fearing he’ll do something bad), begins to abuse her, abandons her or directs his frustration at her – or what happened in my case – he puts her in the position of his spouse and forgets she is his daughter and only a child.

They love being around each other, yet, he feels fear and she is confused and feels abandoned and betrayed.

I know other adults who have a Venus relationship with the parent of the opposite sex where the parent ‘worshiped’ them and put them in the position of fulfilling their non-existent (or in constant ruin) romantic life.

Emotional manipulation and the re-occurrence of abandonment was the on-going theme of their relationship.

Because we aren’t taught how to deal with things like this and many think that ‘therapy’ is for the weak and crazy, these issues tear families apart.

Personally, I have HOPE because millennials are more aware and willing to learn how to relate and deal with inner wounds! Families who have Venus connections can support and strengthen one another in upleveling love, the enjoyment of life and all that Venus gives to us–which creates happy, healthy families!

Have you had a Venus connection go terribly wrong?

8 Reasons To Awaken Your Venus

It’s February! We know what that means, right? The stores are exploding in red and pink and we are either dreading that middle of the month date, or trying to come up with a plan…

Whether we avoid, hate or love Valentine’s day, are single, married or it’s complicated, there is one topic that all of us are always focused on and that is our relationships.

That brings me to the topic of the planet Venus.

I’m going to be exploring the planet of love, beauty and art all month – and how she can help us with our relationships. All relationships – with ourselves, our friends, our family, co-workers and yes, even our lovers and spouses.

What about our relationship with our creativity? And with our fans/followers as a Creative? Yep, that too.

The reason I’m discussing the planet of Venus is because she is all about what we love, what we are attracted to, how we relate to others, what brings us joy and what turns us on.

Knowing our soul stats (I call all of the information that astrology, numerology and the cards gives us, our soul stats) – and in this case our Venus stats- (our Venus cards/sign and house) helps us not only with our relationships, but also with our creativity. She is what inspires us and what helps us attract those things we desire into our life.

We each have a Venus card in our birth card spread. That card lets us know more about ourselves in the area of love, attraction, our sociability, what gives us pleasure, what brings us joy and how we connect (or don’t connect) to all the people in our lives.

Relationships, our sensuality, our attraction, how we see beauty and art and all the feminine/receptive aspects of who we are is covered under Venus. We can learn a lot from her about ourselves and those we love by understanding and utilizing our Venus stats.

Instead of dreading this month, why not use it to discover more about yourself and those you love – how to relate to them better and how to enjoy your life more, because when you are enjoying life, more joy comes to you!

How connected are you to your Venus?

Are your passions lying under the weight of familial expectations?

Do you embrace what lights you up – or go along with the projections placed on you by those you love?

Our Venus is there to help us be authentic. To truly understand and embrace that which lets us shine.

There is a lot that She can help us with.

Here are 8 reason why you should awaken your Venus:

Understand, own and embrace your true beauty and genuinely let it show
Magnetizing yourself so you attract your true desires
Owning and enjoying your true erotic and sensual nature (and healing any wounds to those parts)
Know how to let others in your life understand and value what you need, want and desire
Seriously making your needs and pleasures a priority with no guilt attached
Waking up to what inspires you so you can play with and romance your creativity
Heal, restore and enhance all of your relationships
Own, use and be illuminated by your feminine nature
