How to plan your week according to Astrology
Did you know that we can plan our week according to astrology? Working with the cosmic energy that is presented each day of the week can make us more efficient and our time overall more productive.
That’s right, thanks to the planetary rulers of each sign because every day of the week has one. Here’s the rundown.
Monday
Have you noticed how muddled Mondays generally feel? It would be easy to blame this on it being the first day after the weekend, but no! It’s also because the rulership of Monday is the unpredictable, emotional, intuitive Moon. The cosmic energy of Mondays makes it more challenging to make decisions or get anything done more than any other day of the week! Monday is the best day for nurturing your soul and dialing in to your intuition. This means giving yourself space, undistracted to go inwards.
Tuesday
Forget motivational Mondays, Tuesday is the official day of action! It's the best day to get shit done because it's ruled by Mars, the planet of drive and ambition. We get a boost of energy on Tuesdays, so save any big or serious projects, especially if they require mental heavy-lifting. There is more clarity and decisive energy on Tuesdays. The making bold moves kind of vibe.
Wednesday
Mercury rules Wednesday. This is the favoured day of the week for networking, negotiating, brainstorming, writing and problem solving thanks to the planet of communication and the mind. Focus is enhanced for project planning, contractual tasks or short trips on Wednesdays, according to astrology.
Thursday
Now we’re getting to the fun part of the week! Have you noticed that there's an air of optimism that starts building on Thursdays? That’s because it’s ruled by beneficient Jupiter. The planet of expansion, growth and opportunity. This is the day of the week for socialising, making deals, and any activities that stretch us out of our comfort zone or increase abundance to our life.
Friday
Officially the start of the weekend and another great day for connecting as it’s ruled by our second benefic planet of love, prosperity, harmony and indulgence; Venus. Any activities that involve money, connection, beautifying and indulgence are amplified on Fridays. So whether it’s date night or ladies night, romanticise your Fridays to optimise a sense of wellbeing.
Saturday
Ruled by the planet of discipline, responsibility and goals, Saturday belongs to Saturn. If you’ve ever wondered why the start of the weekend feels busy with loads of odd jobs to tackle, now you know why. The positive thing is that Saturn is exalted in the harmonious relationship sign of Libra, which also makes it a fabulous day for joyful social activities, once the mundane tasks are out of the way.
Sunday
Hopefully you’ve guessed by now that Sunday is ruled by the Sun. The sun rules our ego and sense of self, so it’s the perfect day of the week to do whatever you want! Indulge and luxuriate in the warmth of family and friends, or solo enjoying your own company.
We can obtain deeper personal insights and optimise the cosmic energy even more for ourselves by checking the placement of these planets in our natal charts.
For instance, my natal moon is in the sign of Leo which has an indulgent, regal energy. Monday is definitely not a work day for me! I generally leave Mondays open with no plans so that I can go wherever my mood (or moon) takes me. You’ll mostly find me luxuriating in activities to soothe my soul that set me up for the week. A long walk along the Ibiza coastline, followed by a slow trip to the local farmers market to browse the stalls and stock up on fresh, nourishing food.
