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.

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!
