Mars at the Last Degree of Capricorn & the 9 of Cups
Daily Horoscope Check-In for Monday, February 12, 2024
Good morning, friends!
Well, today, Mars is at the final degree of Capricorn and will ingress into Aquarius early tomorrow at 1:05 am ET or late tonight at 10:05 pm PT.
This means that all day there could be a bit of a hurried push to get things done, like you have a major deadline to meet.
If last week was us boarding the train and getting our schedules, this is us running to our seats as the train starts to move! Did we stow everything correctly? Do we have our dental floss and train-riding socks? Do we have snacks? What about our tickets, where are those?
Mars in Capricorn is driven to succeed and at the final degree, this could feel like we have been rock climbing and we can see above us that the mountainside is about to change and we just need to get ourselves up and over the next perilous overhang, so we are holding on more tightly to the progress we’ve made, but we also have to dangle ourselves from this piece of rock in order to get over it. It could feel extreme and require great effort, but we are determined.
The early morning starts with the Moon at the final degree of Pisces, as well, adding an emotional flavor to the intense determination. Thankfully, the Moon formed a sextile to Mars at 7:31 am ET, representing a hopeful outlook toward the tasks of the day, but once that Moon ingresses into Aries at 8:25 am ET, it’s on! The “Go, go, go!” energy may kick into overdrive, especially an hour later when the Moon forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, which may be like hearing a low rumble coming from deep within the ground, alerting you to the fact that pressurized air is about to escape, which motivates you to make preparations for the imminent eruption. We could feel driven to make important achievements today, crossing things off of our lists like a boy delivering papers along his paper route, with speed and efficiency.
There could be annoying things along the road though, that could create some friction, like a dog barking at our bike or a snake suddenly slithering across the road forcing us to swerve around the reptile. We can see this in the Moon’s semisquares to Uranus and the Sun in the afternoon and late evening, respectively.
Something also important to note is that Chiron has joined up with the North Node at 16° of Aries. He won’t completely conjoin the North Node until Monday, February 19, 2024, but he is in a partile conjunction this whole week. This could first, increase our sensitive feelings surrounding emotional ego wounds, triggers, or vulnerabilities, bringing them closer to the surface, and strengthening their impact on our mental health, and second, it could increase the opportunities for healing this week. Oftentimes when emotional stuff comes up it is because we are ready for the next level of healing work.
Let’s see what the cards have to say…
What is the guidance for today?
9 of cups
On this card is a picture of nine lavender goblets, overflowing with gold liquid. The gold liquid seems to be originating from lotus flowers, one above each goblet.
The 9 of Cups represents wishes, dreams, success, and a hopeful outlook. It is the “wish card,” indicating that whatever you desire is possible right now. It is also a card that reminds us to take stock of all the good things in our lives because there may be many good things to be grateful for.
This card is also signified by Jupiter in Pisces. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, luck, and prosperity, and Pisces is the sign of fluidity, dreams, and redemption.
As the card for the day, this could mean that we have big hopes, dreams, and wishes, but we also have beautiful and prosperous things to be grateful for. We may be feeling overflowing compassion, love, or joy.
Relating this card to the astrology, I feel that it represents that our emotions play a big role in how our reality is going to manifest. This card reminds us that silver linings are aplenty if we open our hearts and acknowledge them.
