Each day of the week has a specific vibration and planetary ruler. Your day is still of course influenced by your personal vibration and your circumstances, but each day has a certain energetic tone because of its ruler. In Ancient Times, the days of the week were named after the planets and signified the time to work with the energy of that specific planetary god. Knowing any of the romance languages can give you a hint at which planet is associated with each day. For example in French, Tuesday is Mardi, and the planet ruler of Tuesday is Mars. English only really helps with Monday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Living by the days of the week has helped so much with my productivity. There is so much we want to do and have to do, so many areas we want to work on and level up, and we can feel so overwhelmed at where to start. We don’t get overwhelmed by the one step in front of us because that’s doable, no we literally take on the stress of the 50 steps in front of us. A common pattern is getting motivated and doing everything in one day, then being exhausted and giving up right after. Divvying it up among the days of the week allows you to get into alignment, get more done, and not feel as overwhelmed.
I want you to make this your own, and fit it into your own schedule and lifestyle. But, these are some things I do to live by the days of the week. I have changed Sundays and Mondays to be my weekend and rest days. I do inner child practices and shadow work on Mondays. I get the most shit done on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I plan everything out on Wednesdays or Thursdays. I treat myself and do some self-love practices every Friday, sometimes Mondays. I make time for spiritual practices and growth on Sundays and Thursdays. I don’t live by this strictly, but I always have the days of the week planets in the back of my mind.
MONDAY
It is the day of the Moon, which is about the unconscious, your emotions, intuition, creativity, feminine energy, and inner world. Monday sets the tone for the week ahead, so I like to make sure I get a good night’s sleep and drink plenty of water. This day asks you to step into your true potential by connecting with your emotions and intuition. Mondays can be more of an emotional day, so it’s better to embrace it, allow yourself to feel your feelings freely, and check in with yourself throughout the day.
The Moon is associated with the astrological sign Cancer. So, for Mondays, think flow, intuition, emotion, rest, and feminine energy. The colors of the day are silver, pearl, pale rose, white, and lavender. The crystals are moonstone, pearl, clear quartz, fluorite, and aquamarine. The tasks you set for today should be easy but also allow you to get ahead of the week. And, make sure to be extra compassionate with yourself and others.
- inner world: journaling, shadow work, feel your feelings, inner child practices, meditation
- tasks to set the tone: laundry, naps, meal prep, baths, tidying, reflecting on your week ahead
- feminine energy: make art, read, self-care, play 417 hz music, spend time in nature, just be
TUESDAY
It is the day associated with Mars, which is about passion, aggression, drive, courage, assertiveness, and strength. When on Monday, you set the tone, on Tuesday, you want to take action on that intention. So, Tuesday is the perfect day to get shit done because Mars energy gives us the drive and passion to follow through on our dreams, desires, and goals.
Mars is associated with the zodiac sign Aries and sometimes Scorpio. The colors are red, orange, yellow, and black. The crystals of the day are carnelian, black onyx, fire agate, aragonite, garnet, red calcite, and smokey quartz. So, on Tuesdays, make sure to embrace the fiery energy of Mars and channel that into your career and goals, not other people and arguments.
- get in tune: be clear about what you want, get intune with your passions, then go out there and make it happen
- go for it: make decisions, make progress on your goals, get ahead (in your career), take risks, start new things, prioritize and complete tasks and to-do lists, initiate and lead
- fire energy: sunbathing, sauna, candles, root chakra, physical movement (sweat it out)
WEDNESDAY
It is the day associated with Mercury, which is about communication, education, expression, and rules the higher mind. It’s an ideal day to get clear about what you want and where you are going. It’s also the midpoint of the week, so you want to become conscious of what energy you are expressing out into the Universe and if you are paying attention to your needs or not. But, ultimately, Wednesday is the perfect time for meetings, important calls, expressing yourself to your loved ones, and catching up on emails.
Mercury is associated with the signs Virgo and Gemini. The colors are green, yellow, cream, and white. The crystals are emerald, citrine, amazonite, moss agate, sodalite, and peridot. And of the days of the week, I love to save Wednesdays to brainstorm and workshop any of my ideas and creative projects. Just save this day for anything really needing logic.
- communication: express yourself!! have discussions, important talks and meetings
- higher mind: writing, reading, learning, planning, anything using mental power or your hands (Gemini rules the hands), manifesting techniques and quantum jumping
- air energy: breathwork, listing to the sounds of the wind, bird watching, swings, and short trips
THURSDAY
It is the day ruled by the planet Jupiter, which is about luck, expansion, growth, wisdom, prosperity, and optimism. So, it’s the perfect day to learn new things and expand your consciousness. It is a day of positivity and just has a lightness to it that allows us to get things done and be more receptive and open-minded. Thursday is the perfect time to feel gratitude for all that you have learned and achieved in the past week or just in life.
Jupiter rules over the zodiac signs, Sagittarius and Pisces, so just think of it as a day to cultivate positivity, gratitude, expansion, and follow your curiosity. It’s a good time to also wrap up any financial matters and manifest money. The colors are purple, orange, deep blue, and gold. The crystals are amethyst, tiger’s eye, lepidolite, sugilite, and tin.
- expand the mind: learn something new (languages), travel, start a new hobby, give and receive advice, spirituality!!
- positivity: adventure, gratitude, indulge, optimism, abundance
- future: envision what you want, plan for the future, manage and manifest money
FRIDAY
It is the day of Venus, which is all about love, art, pleasure, connection and intimacy, creativity, and romance. It is a day for being social, so connect with the ones you love, have a date night, and just have fun and relax. This day is not the day to start anything new, but to expand or finish projects you already have and maybe get a fresh and creative perspective.
Venus rules the signs Taurus and Libra. The colors are pink, pastels, and green. The crystals are jade, lapis lazuli, rose quartz, coral, emerald, malachite, and copper. It’s just a beautiful day to shower yourself and others with love, indulge, have fun, be creative, and appreciate beauty. Every Friday, I make sure I do at least one thing for myself and you should too.
- fun self-care: indulge, pamper yourself, update your beauty routine, have dessert
- socialize: schedule time with your loved ones, relax, have fun
- little rituals: appreciate nature, glamour magick, listen to 528 hz music, eat healthy fats, and be as extra as you want
SATURDAY
It is the day of the planet Saturn, which is associated with karma, strength, discipline, restriction, duty, completion, authority, lessons, responsibility, and tradition. It is a day when you want to have a bit more structure to your day. It’s the day you want to get all your shit done, run errands, organize and clean your house, get ahead of the week, tackle big projects, and be proactive and fix anything in your personal life. Just take responsibility and get organized.
Saturn rules over Capricorn and Aquarius. The colors are black and navy blue, and the crystals are black obsidian and smokey quartz. Saturn is a planet that you can learn to work with by accepting the responsibilities you have and may have been avoiding. Reflect on the actions you have been taking and their consequences (good or bad). This is the day you want to check your to-do lists and look for things to do to be productive, especially anything that needs a more grounded, realistic, and hardworking approach
- to-do list: clean your house, get organized, de-clutter, run errands, tackle your bigger tasks
- get your shit together: add more structure to your day, start a new habit, prep for the week ahead, reflect on the week you just had
- work with Saturn’s energy: check out your Saturn placement, do cleansing and protection rituals, listen to the Saturn planetary frequency
SUNDAY
It is the day of the Sun, which is about illumination, creativity, expression, vitality, and your inner self. On this day, you want to unwind, relax, and connect with your inner self and others. It is the perfect day for tapping into your inner radiance and paying more attention to your health and well-being. It is also a day where social gatherings will flow more effortlessly and harmoniously.
Sunday is associated with the sign Leo, so allow your inner self to shine a little extra today. The colors are gold, orange, and yellow. The crystals are amber, citrine, carnelian, and topaz. The energy of this day is a little sweeter, easy flowing, gentle, harmonious, and relaxing.
