New Moon in Aquarius & III of Wands-Reversed
Daily Horoscope Check-In for Friday, February 9, 2024
Good morning, friends!
How has your morning been going? Mine started with the best intentions of getting up early to write the horoscope for the day, but they were quickly thwarted by the needs of my family. Once I finally did sit down and take a look at the chart of the day and how it was interacting with my natal chart, I was not at all surprised that things were not going according to plan!
For one, all of us are experiencing the last 5° of the balsamic moon as she approaches her conjunction with the Sun in Aquarius for the New Moon, which will perfect at 5:59 pm ET, meaning that this could feel like a really long day. We may all be able to see the solutions to our problems but lack whatever it is that we need to actually implement them at this very moment, or things just keep coming up that delay our intentions.
We can also see this in the New Moon’s square to Uranus (the Sun perfected this aspect yesterday and the Moon will square Uranus at 3:35 pm ET today), which symbolizes interruptions and disruptions that can be frustrating on the one hand, and on the other, the more positive hand, we could experience sudden flashes of insight that create breakthroughs, or unexpected opportunities may land in our laps that liberate us in some way, changing the storyline.
I talked more about the New Moon and went over the chart in the Weekly Forecast, which you can check out here.
For me personally, the Moon will square Mercury in my natal chart today which simply means some conflict and strife in my personal life that could result in miscommunications and disruptions to the daily flow. This is already happening!
For everyone, Mercury is building up to square Jupiter tomorrow which can symbolize some arrogant thinking, an unreliable nature, or some sort of lack of good judgment. It could also indicate a moment when we are trying to make sense of the big picture by analyzing all the little pieces and it may be hard to integrate the two. On another note, this combination could indicate a deal coming together between two parties that require some long-term planning and paperwork. With Jupiter in Taurus, there are good intentions here, but we do have to be mindful of overdoing it.
Let’s see what the cards have to say…
What is the guidance for the day?
III of Wands—Reversed
On this card, we see a man in robes wearing a helmet, holding a sprouted wand with two more standing around him. The man’s back is turned away from us as he is looking out toward the distant mountains.
In the upright position, the III of Wands is representing something in your life that is underway and the journey has just begun. The man is ready to travel and he can see what lies ahead of him—he can see what parts of the terrain will be easy and which parts will be more challenging and plan accordingly. There are many opportunities and he is ready to accept one or maybe already has.
In the reversed position it represents that there are many opportunities available, but you are choosing to stay close to home and not venture out into the unknown. Maybe you already went on an adventure and it didn’t go according to plan so there could be feelings of disappointment, frustration, and irritation.
The Threes in Tarot also have to do with partnerships and relationships, people cooperating to accomplish something, so this card could also indicate that a partnership, friendship, or relationship of some kind is experiencing some friction. Your collaborative efforts are delayed.
The III of Wands reversed is a reminder that whatever setbacks or delays we may be experiencing right now, they are part of the journey, part of our personal development and growth. It’s an opportunity to do some self-reflection and evaluate what you are doing that may be contributing to the tension and make the needed adjustments.
The direct symbolism of this card with how my morning went is not lost on me! LOL! Okay, Universe, I hear you! Thank you for the reminder!
I would love to hear your thoughts!
I hope this is helpful and that you all have a great weekend!
