days of the week with astrology and magic
in astrology, the different days of the week are ruled by different planets, so the themes of this particular planet are strengthened on their respective day. you can utilize this to your advantage when looking at transits, when performing a spell, or even just in your day to day life. this post will kind of go over how i translate this extra energy into my day.
IMPORTANT: i personally feel that how the planet is manifested in your birth chart also plays a part in how you will translate this energy. for example: if you have Sun in Aries, you might have a more active Sunday than a Pisces Sun. keeping in mind your natal chart will be key in really connecting with the planets.
Sunday:
ruled by the Sun
themes of personality, stamina, vitality, energy, and matters of the self are all heightened
although i don't agree with the "Sunday reset" trend from an astrological perspective, i think why people feel the need to be productive is the extra burst of energy the Sun gives us
personally, i feel Sunday is a day for active rest. like maybe cleaning one room instead of the whole house or taking a walk instead of a really intense work out. the key is making the energy burst sustainable.
i think taking at least some of this day to spend time with yourself is important as well. the Sun rules our basic personality and ego, so it feels natural to connect with these things on this day
Leo is ruled by the Sun, so any of your Leo placements might be highlighted today
for all of my witch girls, Sunday is associated with Apollo and Helios/Sol
Sunday is a great day for any workings involving success, healing, ambition, career, or happiness
connect with the Sun through "sunny colors" like yellow, orange, gold, red, or even pinks or browns
crystals/metals: gold, sunstone, amber, citrine, carnelian
herbs: bergamot, celandine, hawthorn, hyacinth, marjoram, citrus
my must do's for Sunday: meditate for longer than normal, spend lots of time in the sunshine, a little bit of physical activity, and anything that brings me joy
Monday:
ruled by the Moon
themes of emotions, moods, instincts, intuition, and feelings are all heightened
this is a huge(!) reason why i don't agree with a Monday work week. Monday is such an amazing day for rest. it doesn't want to start anything, much less a five day exhausting work week.
i feel Monday is a really good day for shadow work or journaling, because you're able to be more in tune/in touch with your emotions. finding ways to connect to your Moon placement on this day will help this process.
it's normal to feel emotionally drained on Monday, so taking time to give yourself lots of rest is really important. working or spending time with people isn't bad, but make sure you're giving yourself time as well.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so any of your Cancer placements might be highlighted today
for all of my witch girls, Monday is associated with Artemis/Diana and Selene/Luna
Monday is a great day for any workings involving moods, good rest, physic connections, or family/maternal matters
connect with the Moon through colors like white, silver, black, and very light or very dark blue
crystals/metals: silver, moonstone, amethyst, selenite, labradorite, pearl, opal, quartz, onyx, obsidian
herbs: frankincense, yew, cypress, garlic, lavender, mugwort, pine, sage, oak leaves, almonds, amaranth flower
my must do's for Monday: shadow work, loooots of sleep and naps, comfort movies/shows, a good cry
Tuesday:
ruled by Mars
themes of desire, action, competition, passion, and anger are all heightened
Tuesday should be the new Monday. it's a great day to start new things (like a five day work week lmao), to begin projects, to plan out your dreams, and to figure out your desires
this is definitely a day to be active. Mars holds rulership over exercise and physical activity so getting your steps in with the extra energy he gives will help
this day is also underrated as far as creative endeavors go, definitely tap into your creative side on Tuesday and you'll be surprised with the results
Aries (and Scorpio to some astrologers) is ruled by Mars, so any of your Aries placements might be highlighted today
for all of my witch girls, Tuesday is associated with Ares/Mars
Tuesday is a great day for any workings involving courage, inner strength, sex, psychic defense, and banishing
connect with Mars through "strong colors" like red, black, purple, or dark grey
crystals/metals: iron, onyx, bloodstone, garnet, ruby, carnelian
herbs: heavy spices, garlic, oil, basil, camphor, black peppers
my must do's for Tuesday: exercise, try something new if i can, and think about my goals/dreams
Wednesday:
ruled by Mercury
themes of the mind, communication, reason, intelligence, language, travel, and intellect are all heightened
this is a great day for logical decision making! your mind will be more alert and clear for problem solving and answers will come easier to you. personally, i stay away from very emotional matters on this day. this is not to say that Mercury is without emotion because that's far from the truth, but it definitely does take a logical approach to things that our emotional state sometimes cannot get behind. i like to leave the feeling decisions for Monday and use Mercury's intellect for other things
this is also a really good day for communicating. your words will be perceived by others easier, and you will understand others easier as well. just for example, a work meeting on Wednesday will be clear, focused, and efficient, while a work meeting on Monday might bring in unwanted emotions
i loooove studying on Wednesdays. i find it so much easier to focus and actually retain information. i will dedicate most of my day to studying or learning. also, you don't have to be in school to "study." i study astrology or mythology or just things that interest me, and you can learn about anything you'd like! knowledge is neverending
Gemini and Virgo are ruled by Mercury, so any of your Gemini or Virgo placements might be highlighted today
for all of my witch girls, Mercury is associated with Hermes/Mercury
Mercury is a great day for any workings involving communication, education, travel, mental agility, and writing
connect with Mercury through colors like green, blue, yellow, gold, or silver
crystals/metals: mercury, hematite, amber, citrine, peridot, agate
herbs: crocus, almonds, strawberries, lemons
my must do's for Wednesday: study and use my words as much as possible :)
Thursday:
ruled by Jupiter
themes of luck, growth, expansion, optimism, abundance, and understanding are all heightened
Thursday is like a breath of fresh air to me. my thoughts are a lot more positive and i'm able to see things through a new lens that may have gotten jumbled throughout the week.
managing gratitude on this day is so so important. we can't be optimistic for the future and hold good luck if we aren't appreciate of what we have now.
i really like to focus on my goals this day as well. taking stock of what i have and what i have left to achieve and letting myself get excited over what's to come. this is also an amaaaazing day for manifestation!
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, so any of your Sagittarius placements might be highlighted today
for all of my witch girls, Jupiter is associated with Zeus/Jupiter
Thursday is a great day for any workings involving wealth, expansion, political power, legal affairs, business, and spirituality
connect with Jupiter through colors like sky blue, gold, silver, yellow, and purple
crystals/metals: tin, amethyst, citrine, sapphire, quartz, blue topaz
herbs: cinnamon, oak, olive oil, allspice, anise, coffee, grape, wine
my must do's for Thursday: manifest, work on business endeavors
Friday:
ruled by Venus
themes of attraction, prosperity, love, beauty, art, and harmony are all heightened
this is one of the days of the week i actually agree with in the modern work week. in my head, Venus gets split into two: half rules Taurus and finances, and half rules Libra and love. i think ending the work week on a Friday works because we spend half of the day making money, and half of the day with pleasure.
Friday is a really good day to spend time with people, but it's also a great self care day. Venus rules beauty, so i usually do my weekly beauty routine on Fridays.
personally, i like to spend at least some time in nature on Fridays as well and some time to appreciate art, which could be listening to your favorite albums, going to a museum, watching a beautifully animated show or any show/movie honestly, reading a book, etc.
hobbies are a big Friday thing for me as well. Venus rules creativity so tapping into that creative side will be especially easy on Fridays, and you can use it to do literally anything! paint, write, sing, dance, knit, draw, whatever you want <3
Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus, so any of your Taurus or Libra placements might be highlighted today
for all of my witch girls, Venus is associated with Aphrodite/Venus
Venus is a great day for any workings involving love, beauty, nature, money
connect with Venus through colors like green, pink, red, or gold
crystals/metals: copper, brass, garnet, ruby, rose quartz, pearl, diamond, sapphire, opal
herbs: rose, anemone, apple, daffodil, myrtle, pomegranate, vanilla, jasmine, basil, honey, lavender, lemon, coconut
my must do's for Sunday: creative stuff, hobbies, work a little bit, spend time with loved ones
Saturday:
ruled by Saturn
themes of structure, law, discipline, restriction, responsibility, obligation, and law are all heightened
this is my "Sunday reset" day. i like to run all my leftover errands from the week, do all my chores/deep clean my living space, grocery shop, and just get everything done
this is a really good day to address and adjust your habits. Saturn craves discipline so he wants you to get your life together lmao. this is the day to start things, more specifically start good habits and end bad ones. for example, if you decided to start eating healthier, you should start on Saturday.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, so any of your Capricorn placements might be highlighted today
for all of my witch girls, Saturday is associated with Kronos/Saturn
Saturday is a great day for any workings involving finances, life obstacles, property, and habits
connect with Saturn through colors like black, dark grey, and brown
crystals/metals: lead, black onyx, hematite, smoky quartz, jet, black tourmaline
herbs: garlic, rosemary, cypress, dill, yew, myrrh, bay, clove, snakeweed, thyme, onion, witchhazel

How to effectively plan your week by using Astrology
☾ I have been using astrology for the past 2 years to not only help my manifestations but also just better structure my months and better avoid burnouts through prioritization.
☾ The weekdays and hours all have rulers that can help point to where it is most beneficial to place our focus and efforts.
☽ The Day of the Moon - Monday ☾
This is the best day for you to take care of your emotional and mental wellbeing. Seek to get more rest, meditate, journal, avoid stressful people and situations. This is also a great time to handle lighter domestic tasks such as laundry, cooking, light cleaning and other essentials that help improve your space.
Lastly, this is a great day to check in on your emotions and indulge in nostalgia.
♂The Day of Mars - Tuesday ♂
This is a day with a higher and faster pace, so you may find yourself with more energy and bravado. You should therefore seek to move your body more, follow that ambitious energy and even allow yourself to be more bold.
☿ The Day of Mercury - Wednesday ☿
On this day communication, creativity and coming together is made easy. This makes this an optimal day for learning, studying (especially in groups), solving problems and organizing your life/space. A day such as this is also great for further developing your ideas, answer emails and resolve conflicts
♃ The Day of Jupiter - Thursday ♃
A day like this is meant for expanding and exploring. So, do more research, learn something new, go on adventure and delve deeper into your spiritual or religious practice(s). On days like this, we may find ourselves having more unique and out of this world experiences that feel perfectly planned yet so random. Lastly, this is a perfect day to try your luck and trust the process
♀The Day of Venus - Friday ♀
For the day of love and beauty, you may find yourself enjoying it best by spreading love to yourself and others. Take this time to book your beauty appointments (hair, nails, teeth, waxing etc.), spoil yourself, indulge in good food, art and company. And lastly, wear your cutests most favorite clothes and treat the day like it belongs to you.
♄ The Day of Saturn - Saturday ♄
This is a more serious day where the things that have been put off or need special attention should and most likely will be done. This is a day where you may find yourself being more able to hold yourself accountable, refocusing on your goals and re-establishing any structures that may have been broken throughout the /month. So on this day, take care of longer and more grueling tasks, and plan for the upcoming week. Lastly, this is also a day most seem to shine brighter at work, so take advantage of that energy.
☉ The Day Of the Sun - Sunday ☉
This is a day to spend the day focused on ourselves and enjoy the slowness of it all. If the sun is bright, sit under it and recharge. On this day, connecting with our ego can feel easier, so, journal, get your thoughts out, write down your gratitudes, wishes, wants, disappointments and remind yourself of who you are and recenter. This is a day of choosing you first!
What Now?
Look at your life and to your best abilities, schedule everything according to what fits your wants & needs with the rulerships of each day.
Mondays are for moon-thingz, so even if you can’t get off on Monday, attempt to still rest, recharge and take care of your environment. We live within a very structured world, where many of us start on Monday, so attempt to do what you can with what you have. Many joke that they hate monday, and that may be because the energies of that day do not align with having to begin a long week of working. And oppositely, Friday is loved because it is Venus – we want to be social, seek beauty and love. With the end of the long workweek being Friday, it fulfills Venusian desires, so it tends to be a day that goes much smoother for many.
