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.

Using Your Yearly Forecast Long Range Cards to Achieve Your Goals

A big part of Cardology is the Yearly Forecast. Besides having a Birth and Ruling card, you have a new spread of cards each year on your birthday, called a Yearly Forecast.

I love the term Forecast because, just alike a weather forecast, it reveals the energies (literally) at play for your year- setting the mood, the potentials, the pitfalls, the opportunities and the gifts you will have going on. And, just like with the weather, you can ignore the forecast and put on a tank top and shorts on a icy day and go freeze your patootie off – or, you can dress in your soft lounge clothes, plan a day by the fire and get some much needed R&R. YOU CHOOSE! ?

But, isn’t it great to know?!?

It makes planning so much easier!

Here we are in September. I think of this month as the planning month. It’s the start of Fall and we can feel the shift in the weather, the mood and of course with school starting back up, we have new backpacks, notebook, pens and books and that has me all giddy (even though I don’t have young kids at home anymore!)

In this post, I want to cover one of the cards we each have in our yearly forecast – our Long Range card.

What does it tell us? How can we use it to plan?

Your Forecast Long Range card speaks to the main energy throughout your year.

(In a Forecast, a “year” is one birthday to the next. It begins on your birthday and goes until your next birthday, so anytime I refer to your year, that is what I am referring to.)

This card influences the events, people and thoughts/feelings you’ll encounter, so it is a big part of the plan towards whatever goals you have.

It’s like being given a weather forecast for your year -like looking in the Farmer’s Almanac and seeing what the upcoming winter will be.

The Long Range card is neither good nor bad—but a resource to use as you see how it fits in with your challenges and opportunities

Even when it is a card that might be seen as “hard” (such as a 9 card), because it is a Long Range card, its place as the main theme for your year keeps it as a neutral energy that you can work with to enhance and understand your year.

Remember that all of us experience and are (in some way, at some point) EVERY card in the deck. Therefore, when you have certain cards in play in your forecast, it is highlighting the part of you that IS that card. It is putting the spotlight on that energy within you in the area of its position in the Forecast.

The Long Range card presents you with a theme for your year.

Seeing your Long Range card as the all encompassing umbrella for your year — affecting each period and the other cards in prominent positions — adds knowledge for you to use in your planning.

Will the theme of your year be active or still?

Will it be creative, mental or spiritual?

Will it be focused on your health, relationships or money?

As an example, if your main goal is to increase the profit of your business and your Long Range card is the Queen of Hearts (the card of the Mother, romance and sex) then how can that help you?

If you are a Mother, your motherly duties might take a front seat therefore changing how you go about your goal.

Or, you might encounter a relationship that brings romance into your life, making you realize that even though you were focused on making money, you were also desiring intimacy and your priorities changed.

Or, the Queen of Hearts showed you that while working to make more money, you need to take the time for personal TLC and to nurture yourself.

Keeping your Long Range card in the forefront of your mind each day and seeing how your events and thoughts/feelings relate to it and your goal act as a big help.

The cards in your forecast aren’t some random draw by a human – they are the patterns, cycles and blueprints of the path you chose to walk in this life. The big, higher YOU set up a matrix of energy so you could play out the purpose of your life at this time. It all fits together.

Your cards won’t be unmatched with your goals, rather they can shed light on the best approach to your goals because of WHO YOU ARE and what you chose to have going on at this time in your life.

2017 – New Year, New Personal Number!

What if, at the beginning of each year, you got a hand-delivered message that said: Here is your mission for this year. Here is what to expect and here is the best way to get through it in the most natural way for YOU.

Nice huh?

Guess what? The Universe does exactly that for us. There are energetic roadmaps that shows our natural patterns for the year.

Got goals? Why not use your natural energetic patterns to help you get to those goals?

I say hell yeah!!

Here we are, about to start a new year. So, why not be better prepared?

When you’re working towards a particular goal, knowing what innate energies will be present in your life and what “cycles” you are in is very beneficial.

Your personal ‘numbers’ ( via Numerology) and the main cards of your current forecast reveal these energies.

Why not know and use the energies that will be present in your life to help you achieve your goals?

Before I talk about how to use this information, let me clarify:

The Cards in your forecast goes from your birthday to your next birthday. Your Personal Year number goes from the start of a new year, to the next new year.

Every one of us will have a new Personal year number once we are in 2017. As an example, my birthday is in July, so while I am still in the forecast (through the cards) until my next birthday in July, my personal year number will change on Jan 1st – thus having an influence on my forecast.

This sounds more confusing than it really is. 🙂

These logistics get easy to recall once you are tuned into knowing your personal cycles and current energies at play.

The point is in knowing how to benefit from them.

Being aware of the cycles is the first step in benefiting from it. This helps you to understand why the things that are happening are happening. It takes you out of any confusion or feelings of being a victim, or as some feel, that they’ve been cursed or did something bad. What an awful way to go through your days!

When you understand the energy of the cycle you’re in, you can take advantage of it to help you with your goal. As well, if you know the cycle of your spouse, kids or others you are close with, it helps with understanding where they are as well.

This is the beauty of knowing and understanding the tools we’ve been given. This information is what I call our ‘soul stats.’

We go through 9 year “cycles.” We begin anew in our personal 1 year, and each year’s energy after that helps us to move through that cycle towards the dreams and future we set at the beginning.

I ‘ve been in a personal 2 year in 2016. My Long Range card (the main energy for my year) is a 2♠ and my Pluto card is also a 2♠. A LOT has been going on for me regarding partnerships and doing things with others as well as cooperation and compromises. Those 2 cards went along with my 2 Personal year number beautifully.

But now for 2017, my Personal Year number will be a 3, yet those 2 cards are still in play.

What does that mean for me?

A 3 year is more active, more creative. I’m taking what I gained from the partnerships, compromises and cooperation situations and will use it to outwardly express myself in more social situations. A 3 year can be very social, very creative and it should be more fun! But ONLY if I’ve fully owned and embraced my truth and what is in my heart. It is like we have the 2 year to find our truth because of our more intimate relationships – in a 3 year, we can feel confident to go out and BE our truth!

What tends to happen – without us even realizing it – is that what is going on in our life will “fit” the cycle we’re in.

The experiences, people and your energy will fit the cycle you’re in.

What can happen if you don’t know the natural energy you’re in?

Things can feel as if you’re getting nowhere, or the same things keep happening over and over and they aren’t what you want happening.

If you’re in a 9 year and trying to launch a new business, things will seem stuck, clogged or as if you’re losing. You might face more losses than launches.

If you’re in a 7 year and you’re trying to network, socialize and expand your business, you might find yourself sick a lot or things happen that keep you out of the social situations you think you should be in because this energy is about time alone in reflection.

Yes, you can still proceed in your usual way without knowing. We have free will at all times to do what we want! But the natural energy or flow that allows us to live with ease might be one that conflicts with your plans.

Think of it like this: You decide you want to go to the lake. You put on your swimsuit, pack your sunscreen and head out there. But, it is December and there is a Lake Effect snow advisory. Snow showers are in the forecast and 3 to 6 inches are expected.

You could ignore the forecast and go. You might enjoy yourself…you could struggle through it. But, why go do something that is unpleasant or contradictory to the situation if you could instead, do something that goes with the situation? Maybe on that cold snowy day, you could build a fire and read a good book.

While that example might be very simple, the fact remains that when we go with the flow of the natural energies at play, things are easier, smoother and we actually get MORE accomplished! There is a reason for the cycles we have in nature and while our society puts non-stop ACTION on a pedestal, we must have time to ponder, time to sow ideas, time to clear clutter, time to hibernate and time to work with others.

And as always happens, your Forecast cards fit so beautifully in even when your personal number changes. It adds this little twist to make your situation uniquely YOURS and to allow for your journey to go in the direction your soul is wanting you to go.

Why not be aware of this and use it to your benefit?!?

I know what is going on and what I need to do, and because I know….I understand how to plan.

I can plan accordingly and not get distressed when others say, this is what you should be doing.

As well, the Universal number is going to change. 2016 has been a universal 9 year – a year of endings, completions and a wrap-up.

2017 will be a universal 1 year – a year for new beginnings, new ideas and new projects. If you can view what is going on around you globally and realize things have been breaking down so NEW can be built, you’ll go through the year with a clearer understanding.

Add YOUR new personal number to that universal 1 energy to see HOW YOU will be helping with the NEW stuff being built!

It (WE) all works together to create this life we decided to be a part of at THIS time!

This is why knowing reduces anxiety and stress!

How friggin’ awesome is it to be clear on what is going on?!

I love working with a clients ‘soul stats’ – which is the information in their astrological chart, their numbers and their cards – so they can clearly know and plan for the things they truly desire!
