There are a couple things I like to do to get ready to meet the new day. Just as I like to check the meteorological weather, I like to check the astrological weather. This give me a heads up on the nature of the energy shifts I will encounter throughout the day.
Because I have worked with astrology for many years, a quick glance at the ephemeris is all that is necessary to see what the day's planetary patterns will be and how they will interact with my astrological chart.
To get a deeper insight into the active energies, I might pull out a Tarot card. The symbolism of the card will speak to some aspect of the astrological energies in play. It is a way to see where I should focus my attention.
It isn't necessary that the card is pulled by you personally--lately I tend to use the card highlighted in the Twitter topic #amtarot where I can get additional viewpoints from other Tarot aficionados. But incorporating that information into your morning orientation adds another level of richness and meaning.
It is interesting that the #amtarot draw this morning is the Knight of Wands. I look to the #amtarot draw as one indicator of which energies are being highlighted.
I made some comments about today's overall astrological conditions here, but one area that escaped my focus was the spirited Moon in Sagittarius which will oppose Mars this evening.
The Knight of Wands is a feisty fellow who takes what he wants and doesn't take no for an answer. The niceties of Emily Post bore him, but passion and excitement keep him alive. The message of the Knight of Wands is to plug into that which fills you with passion and then go for it.
The outgoing Moon in Sagittarius is also filled with high energy and passion. It also tells us to go for it. But it modifies the raw Knight of Wands energy by prodding us to think long-term. It isn't enough to push for an objective, the passion has to be part of your larger vision.
So what is your larger vision, how are you going to get there, and which dragons will you slay in the process?
