A simple guide to planning your week.

Structure is the gift that we can easily give to ourselves for our ultimate creative freedom.

Generally we have numerous tasks, chores and wishes that fill our To Do list. I suggest: dedicate certain days of the week for a particular set of tasks. That way our mind and To Do  list would not be drowned by the mediocre routine and will become a playfield for creating the ultimate reality you deserve.

 Each day of the week has a planet that governs it and each planet has its own unique properties. The conception of Planetary Days is one of the most ancient in astrology. The names for the days of the week have an obvious planetary connotation.

This sequence of the planetary rulers of the days of the week follows the beams of seven-point star, or heptagram, also known as the Star of the Magi.

And after this, the cyclical sequence of planets is always the same: … – Saturn – Jupiter – Mars – Sun – Venus – Mercury – Moon- … This sequence is named the Chaldean Sequence and it is deeply rooted in the ancient philosophy. You might notice that in this sequence the planets are ordered by their relative speed as observed from the Earth, the Moon being the fastest and Saturn – the slowest.

 Monday

Planet – Moon. The day of Mother. Feminine Caring Energy. Intuition. Family. 

It is a day to spend with your family and children, especially a good day for contacting your mother, sisters, meeting girlfriends and enjoying the intuition and sensitivity this day brings. 

Monday is not a day of big actions, it is rather a passive day. It is a very good day for anything housekeeping related whether at home or at work: cleaning, ironing, cooking, home and food shopping, paying the bills, arranging the maintenance people. 

 Good day for beginnings as long as they are not too important.

 Tuesday is a day of active decisive actions, it favours the bold and quick, active and energetic. You can achieve success on this day if you act spontaneously, according to the first impulse, if you embody your ideas as soon as they arise, because Mars is a planet of speed, instincts and desires. 

It is very good on this day of the week to show courage and determination, even if they are not inherent to you. It is important to simply show them to others, and they will appreciate it. The symbol of this day is a surge of energy and vitality. 

 If there is anything you need to do but have been scared to do it – Tuesday is the day!

Avoid aggression and open conflicts - Mars is able to inflate a big quarrel out of trifles. Finding a compromise in close relationships is also better put off until another day of the week. Avoid being passive today and enjoy the vibe of Power.
