9 of Swords “Face your Fears.” Mars in Gemini:  When Mars isn’t focused in its energy it becomes a whirlwind with no direction. This is precisely what happens when this sign plays host to the God of War; but since Gemini covers communication and thoughts, the maelstrom takes root in the mind Number 9: Represents the final stage of action, reflection, thought, or deed; the end of a cycle or period in your life. maelstrom n. a situation or state of confused movement or violent turmoil When the 9 of Swords appears it means you’re obsessing over something. Although the underlying issue may be real, you’re blowing it out of proportion.
7 of Cups “Forbidden Fruit.” Venus in Scorpio: Venus in Scorpio is the archetypal Femme Fatale, the personification of power, fear, sex, and desire Number 7:   Connected to the higher vibration of The Chariot, Sevens demand that you take control of a situation and steer your way to victory Like the Black Widow, now’s the time to strike and seize what you desire.
6 of Cups “The Bad Seed.” Sun in Scorpio:  The Sun shines a light on the shadows inherent in Scorpio’s nature The flip-side of the childlike innocence of the 6 of Cups is that it may represent a person whose jealousy towards you lurks in the shadows…

5 of Wands “Think outside the box.” Saturn in Leo:  At odds with each other astrologically, Saturn tempers the expansive and warm nature of Leo just enough to help build the framework necessary for the expression of personal talent and creativity Number 5: Dynamic, energetic, unpredictable, independent, and restless Face challenges head-on. Try different approaches. Use new techniques.

Surround yourself with things that make you happy and secure. Engage in activities that involve nature. Luxuriate in a bath full of bubbles. Spend quality time with an animal companion.
King of Swords “Aim for the jugular.” Venus in Aquarius:  Aquarius brings an unconventional, emotionally cold vibe to Venus Number 14:  A Karmic number, 14 signifies personal freedom, self-initiative, independence, unity, and justice; and brings with it a variety of trials and tribulations.

Remain aloof and detached as you consider your options.
