Today on the 8♠️ in Capricorn, we find the Planetary Ruling Card by counting to the Saturn card in the Waking Spread which is 3♣️. This reading is about the 8♠️ Birth Card of 1/6, 2/4, and 3/2.

The 8♠️ reserves intention, energy and effort to concentrate, master, and direct action for maximum effect.

The 9♦️ Dreaming Mirror indicates the need to initiate plans and agreements in response to refined necessities and desires.

The 3♠️ Waking Mirror indicates that one follows one’s gut even when results are not immediately forthcoming. One uses tremendous energy, and eventually results arrive.

As Double Sleeping Uranus, the 8♠️ is learning to learn and master every aspect of goals and ideals so one may instruct others of needed changes in methods.

Capricorn 8♠️ can be too secretive and reserved, or one can be forthright and completely disarming with trust and warm compassion. A loving nature is one’s destiny.
