Choosing the best time to go on a hot date, have that ‘difficult’ conversation or plan a trip away is easy when you let the planets be your guide. Astrology is all about timing and picking the right day gives the outcome you hope for – with whatever you want to do – and a much greater chance of success, so open your diary app and start planning your week!
Monday
Not just another manic start to the week
Monday is the day for getting your house in order. Whether that’s actually sorting out your chores at home or organising your to-do list to set you up for the week at work, now’s the day to do it. If you think you should be all-action on what is traditionally the first day of the week think again. Astrologically, Monday is ruled by the Moon, which makes it a day for settling yourself emotionally before you really launch into your working week in a big way. To help you channel those lunar vibrations, wear white or grey or rock some silver jewellery, the colours of La Luna. Healthwise, you’ll flourish by drinking more water or by going for a pre or post-work swim. Nurture yourself and those you work with, as those Monday blues are not only ‘a thing’, they can be contagious! If you work with a team bring in tasty treats to share and motivate them, or a round of takeaway coffees to boost morale and energy. Loved up? A comforting but healthy home-cooked meal and a cosy evening chez vous seals the deal to ease you gently into the rest of the week.
Tuesday
Just do it!
This is the day to tackle major workloads. Ruled by Mars, the planet of fire and action, you can power through anything on Tuesdays as you’ll have extra oomph and energy. It’s a day to do things under your own steam and in your own style if you can as there’s a ‘my way or the highway’ feel to Tuesdays that doesn’t allow for time-wasters and interference. Wear red to keep you motivated, and if your job has a strict dress code get around this by donning racy red underwear. There’s often an excess of energy around on Tuesdays so rather than use it to argue or fight, two things that could escalate quickly with Mars in the mix, channel your enthusiasm and need to succeed into a hot workout like Ashtanga or Bikram yoga or have a post-work energy run or a cardio session at the gym. Mars is a sexy planet too so if you still have energy to spare then Tuesday’s a top day to burn it off horizontally and sensually with a significant other.
RECOMENDED BOOK AND LUCKY CHARM :
Wednesday
Get connected
If Mondays are about emotion and Tuesdays are about energy, Wednesday is all about communication. Those emails clogging up your inbox? Now’s the day to reply to them all as others will also be in a more communicative mood so you’ll get the answers you need more quickly today. Write lists down too - psychologically it’s the best way to keep track of all you need to do, and the joy of ticking off your chores is super satisfying! Start making plans now as well, whether that involves having meetings to discuss how to move things forward at work, or organising your social life as you’ll be more in the frame of mind to do your research and round everyone up who needs to be on board with your ideas. It’s the best day of the week for a water cooler conversation to get some hot gossip and find out what’s really going on at work, or to catch up after work with friends, siblings or even neighbours. And if you’re into finding love on the internet, today’s the day to start chatting online. Adding a hint of turquoise to what you wear today will help you channel your inner communicator, as this is the colour associated with Mercury, the planet that rules Wednesdays.
Thursday
Think big
Your mojo should be well and truly working by Thursday, making it the ideal day to take a calculated risk. Your confidence is likely to be high thanks to the influence of lucky, big-thinking planet Jupiter whose day this is, so if you need to make a presentation, podcast or vlog do it now. This is the day to ‘big up’ your ideas for growth and expansion for your team, department or company as ‘the more the merrier’ is the perfect mantra for Jupiter and it’s not a day for going it alone. Holiday or travel plans are also good to get sorted on Thursdays, and you’ll get more out of any courses, extra training or after-work classes you go to now, whether for work or pleasure, if you do them on a Thursday. Increasing your knowledge, especially if that includes learning a new language or exploring your spiritual side, is best done on this day if you can find a class that fits your new astrologically-defined schedule. Socially, it’s a great night to see a funny movie or head to a stand-up comedy gig, or even stay in to write your own novel or screenplay. And if you’d like to let the cosmos know you’re in tune with the whole Thursday vibe, wear the colour purple.
Friday
Feel the love
Thank Venus it’s Friday! Venus is often associated with love, which makes Friday the ideal date night. But astrology also connects Venus to money as, back in the day, Friday was traditionally pay day each week for many workers. It’s certainly a time for pampering and treats as the Friday feelgood factor spreads like honey on hot toast, and plans for the weekend evolve and get shared and compared at work. It’s the perfect day to pop out for a lunch time mani-pedi or blow-dry, buy a new outfit or invest in new make-up for a different look, ideally one that will get you noticed for all the right reasons as Venus is also the planet of charm and beauty. Being nicer to everyone seems to happen naturally on Fridays, and even that co-worker who usually drives you nuts seems more bearable. Friday evening is designed for romance, so this could be the night that internet date you chatted with on Wednesday works out beautifully. Single or spoken for, head out to dine and dance or stay in for Netflix and chill with wine and ice-cream - Venus is indulgent and has a very sweet tooth. Wear pink as an added attractor for all the good things Venus can bring your way.
Saturday
Let’s get serious
Not everyone gets to have Saturday off, and if you’re working it can often be the busiest day of the week, a day you might even resent a little if you think everyone else is having more fun that you are. However, since Saturday is ruled by its namesake, sensible planet Saturn, the effort you put in on this day will reward you in many ways in the long term. It’s a good day to work over-time to catch the eye and approval of your boss as well as to increase your earnings, especially if you’re saving for a major investment such as your own place or a big-ticket item like a car or a wedding or a dream holiday. Saturn is the ‘no pain, no gain’ planet that supervises the chores in life that we don’t necessarily want to do but which provide structure and security. That makes Saturday a great day for DIY, stocking up on healthy food for the week, catching up with chores, or visiting family, essentially finessing the structure of your life. It’s a good day for weddings too as Saturn emphasises structure, stability and all the things we hope will last a long time in our personal lives. To channel Saturn’s dedication and seriousness for all your tasks on this day, wear black.
Sunday
Your fun day
The clue to which celestial body rules this day of the week is in the name: the Sun, that life-giving source, radiating warmth and happiness. Sunday is a day to relax, hit the beach, hang out with friends, do whatever it takes to top up your energy levels, even if in some cases that means doing nothing at all. This day is all about play, whether that’s by nurturing your own inner child or actually playing games in the park with friends or younger family members, for pleasure rather than with a competitive edge. Romantic walks, get-togethers over food, sharing quality time with people that lift you up rather than bring you down is all part of the Sun’s Sunday vibe. Even celebrating Sunday solo with meditation, a decadent leisurely breakfast or a trip to an art gallery or to see a movie that soothes or inspires you works under the Sun’s beams. Because the Sun is the King of the planets that makes you the Queen of all you survey and you make the rules that suit you best on this, the most energising day of the week. Wear gold or opt for a hint of yellow to be in sync with the Sun, to help you recharge your batteries for when the whole cycle starts again on Monday.
