How To Use Astrology To Plan Your Life
Back in the day when I was in a corporate 9-5, I was in love with routines; proud Virgo over here.
Each time there was a big contract meeting, I would head straight to my favourite meeting room, lay out all my pens and notepaper, do exactly 2 double checks of my paperwork, and set my coffee within arm’s reach but far enough to keep it from killing my work should a spill occur.
I would plan the week ahead incessantly on a Friday afternoon, so I knew exactly what I was doing on each day, could plan my outfits accordingly and knew whether to bring a hot lunch or quick bite.
Then I became a Mum.
And not much changed regarding my love for routines, rhythms and schedules. They gave me comfort and security when life felt very overwhelming and chaotic. If I’m being honest, I got a little too obsessed with routines and planning each day which led me down the path of post natal anxiety (more on that in a future post).
Then I became a business owner.
Again no change to my love of planning, but I had to be extra careful when juggling a toddler and planning to launch the business, choosing which days to have my daughter in daycare, and what times to work and perform. It was a bit harder than those days in corporate.
So I turned to the stars for guidance in making these larger planning decisions and WOW!
I wish I knew about this before! Planning helps life run smoothly, but planning in accordance to the astrological energies brought in a whole new level and comfort knowing what the day would bring.
Using my knowledge of days of the week astrology to plan my life has helped me in my business, my mum life and my spiritual practice.
These tips can be used to help you in ALL aspects of your life, whether it’s planning your workout schedule, or when to sow seeds in your garden. Astrology has your back.
What is Astrological Planning and Why Does it Matter?
Did you know that each day of the week has a planetary ruler? That’s right, there is a ‘days of the week astrology’ style and I’m about to teach you all about it!
This means, that certain activities are best completed on certain days, in line with that planets energy, and explains why sometimes it’s just so hard to get motivated to get out of bed and go to work; I’m looking at you Monday!
This matters because knowing this information will literally transform the way you look at your week, and plan out your goals and activities.
This also gives you a reason to why you don’t want to go to work on a Monday, and why Saturday seems to always be the best day for chores to get done, even if all you want to do is relax.
It takes the pressure off you, from trying to force yourself to work against the days energy, and instead you can begin to flow with each day as it comes.
How to use Astrology to plan your week
We will begin by breaking down your week into each day, going into the planet that rules the day, the zodiac sign and the type of energy it is good for.
If we look to the latin based languages they give us a clue as to which planet rules each day. Here they are in Spanish, see if you can pick the planets for each day and then scroll down to see which ones you got right!
Monday - Lunes
Tuesday - Martes
Wednesday - Miercoles
Thursday - Jueves
Friday - Viernes
Saturday - Sabado
Sunday - Domingo
Monday
Monday
It’s best to think of Monday as ‘Moon-day’ as it is ruled by our Moon. In Spanish this day is Lunes, from the latin word Luna meaning Moon.
The Moon is all about our emotional side and is a slower energy type of day.
The zodiac ruler for Monday is Cancer, our nurturing, protective and empathetic friend who craves financial stability.
This means that Mondays are great for looking over your business or personal finances and planning ahead for any upcoming expenditure. Mondays are also fantastic days for emotional or psychic development, healing and therapy work.
I purposely chose not to work my Tarot/Astrology business on Mondays as I’d noticed my daughter tended to be more prone to toddler melt downs, and prefered to stay inside watching movies and baking bread with me rather than at daycare.
Mondays are not a great day for exercise (unless you are an Aries Moon sign and have had a bad day) and they’re not a great day for selling, as people are more concerned with their finances (unless you get them on an emotional spend).
Tuesday
Tuesday
Tuesday is ruled by the planet Mars, this is the planet of motivation. Tuesdays are ruled by both Aries and Scorpio which are both very intense signs.
This means Tuesdays are best for getting things done as you’ll have the most productive energy, so choose to do your hardest task on a Tuesday and you’ll always get it done!
Also a great day for working out and doing anything that requires motivation, speed and high energy.
Also the best day for Sex, afterall it is ruled by Scorpio!
Tuesday is not a good day to stay home and relax or complete self care rituals as it can be difficult to slow down. Personally, I use Tuesdays to work on my business, sort out my monthly meal plan and in the evenings (once bubba is asleep) I can smash out some writing or really focus on getting some bigger, astrological reports completed.
Wednesday
Wednesday
Wednesday in Spanish is Miercoles, that’s right - it’s ruled by Mercury!
Mercury also rules both Virgo and Gemini in the zodiac which makes it the perfect day for communication, refinement and organisation!
If you’ve heard much about our dear planet Mercury, you may know that it controls our mindset, communication, transport/travel and planning.
This makes Wednesday the perfect day for phone calls, blogging, sending newsletters, speaking engagements or sitting down to write. If you need to schedule a phone meeting or in person meeting, this is the ideal day for it too as you’re likely to communicate more effectively and make progress much faster than on other days.
I personally chose Wednesday for my work day as the Gemini energy means it’s a good day for mental stimulation for both myself, and my toddler. She gets to go to daycare, where they provide much more art and crafts than I’m willing to, giving her the mental stimulation she needs.
Whereas I get the mental stimulation that comes with writing my blog posts, recording videos for my YouTube channel and communicating with my clients via my Tarot Readings and Astrology Reports.
Thursday
Thursday
Our best friend Jupiter, the planet of Joy & Good Fortune rules over Thursdays as well as the zodiac signs Sagittarius and Pisces.
We can expect Thursdays to bring us joy, good luck, new ideas and excitement! Thursdays are my favourite day of the week for this reason. If you’re a Witch like me, it’s also the perfect day for abundance & success spells!
Thursdays are also a good time to learn something new. Teach or share your knowledge and work on a special project that will move your business forward.
Friday
Friday
TGIF am I right!
Venus is the planetary ruler for our lovely final day of the working week. Taurus and LIbra energy also rule the day which is why the day brings in a really good celebratory vibe.
Fridays are perfect for self care rituals, eating good food, splurging a little bit and date night, after all, Venus is the planet of LOVE.
Work wise you want to make sure you’ve finished off all the last minute things so you can really let go of your working week as you head into the weekend.
Saturday
Saturday
Saturday is usually the day we want to have fun and relax on, but somehow always end up mowing the lawn, mopping the floors or doing the washing.
This is because the day is ruled by Saturn, our strict teacher planet along with some Capricon energy, full of work ethic and aquarius which is all about serving the community (which can even just mean the household community).
Saturdays hold the energy of tasks that aren’t fun. Things you NEED to do but absolutely do not WANT to do. Mundane things like chores, fixing things and running errands are the word of the day.
Don’t get too put off though, because once we feel we’ve ticked all the boxes, we can begin to let our hair down in preparation for Sunday!
Sunday
Sunday
Oh beautiful Sunday, ruled by none other than LEO and the centre of our solar system, the Sun.
There is a reason Christianity picked this day as a rest day!
Sundays are the day for being outside, having fun, letting your inner child run wild and getting together with friends and family.
The Sun is all about expressing ourselves the best and Leo is all about fun and creativity so allow yourself to leave those unfinished chores until next weekend and truly relish in the sunshine of the day that is Sunday.
Tips For Planning Your Workout Life With Astrology
Plan your cardio and high intensity workouts for Tuesdays, Thursdays or Sundays.
Save Mondays for low intensity such as walking, yoga, swimming or running along the beach.
If you just feel the need to squeeze one extra work out in, throw that in on a Saturday as it kinda counts as a chore.
Tips For Planning Your Work Meetings With Astrology
Wednesday is your best bet for client initial meetings, contract meetings, staff meetings, tarot readings or any other meetings where clear communication is the goal.
Fridays are great for quick catch up meetings or last minute double checking or signing off on documentation.
Mondays are good if you’re a therapist of some sort, these days will be best for nurturing your clients and helping them feel safe, secure and heard
If you’re a tutor or teacher, Saturdays got your back
Tuesdays are great for martial arts lessons, booking weekly bootcamp classes or PT sessions and also for intense therapy sessions, makeovers, or renovations work where a big transformation is the goal
You’ve been unknowingly working along side these energies for your entire life and our calendar week is already set up to reflect this, so if you can’t make a day work, it can still be successful. It’s just a great tip to keep in your backpocket when you have the control in your life or business to schedule accordingly or if you REALLY want the Universe to have your back.
There is a lot more depth to astrology than this, but hopefully this gives you a glimpse into how practical and helpful it can be.
