Did you know that the day you were born associates you with a specific planet that will influence you throughout your life?

The ancient Babylonians assigned each day of the week to a specific planet, hence the old saying:

“Monday’s Child is fair of face, Tuesday’s Child is full of grace, Wednesday’s Child is full of woe, Thursday’s Child has far to go, Friday’s Child is loving and giving, Saturday’s Child works hard for a living, But the child born on the Sabbath Day, Is fair and wise and good and gay.”

The energies of each planet will influence your personality traits and behavior as well as your basic outlook. You will encounter themes associated with the planet that rules the day you were born throughout life.

Monday

Monday is the day that is ruled by the Moon.

According to TikTok creator @Astrokit_, "if you are born on Monday you are somebody who might be sensitive or emotional. You might really value privacy and comfort and intuition drives a lot of your decisions.”

We associate the Moon with changeable moods as the moon changes signs every 48 hours. It is also associated with nurturing, Motherhood, taking care of others and domestic matters. Since the moon is so changeable this is not the day to start something unless you are open to changes down the road. It’s a great day to meet with women and take care of home-related matters.

Tuesday

Tuesday is ruled by Mars.

If you were born on Tuesday, according to @Astrokit_, “you are somebody who is ambitious and passionate. You might be goal driven and like taking action to achieve things, and athletic too.” 

Mars is the planet associated with action. It is masculine energy in either a male or female. Aries and Scorpio are the signs ruled by Mars naturally, which promotes attitudes of courage and bravery.

Mercury rules our mind and thinking. It discerns, analyzes information and comes up with ideas. It also rules writers and people who work with their voice.

Saturn is the planet of grounding and structure and shows us our limitations.

Saturday would be a good time to work on a project that is long-term or serious. It is also a good day for starting anything that you want to withstand the test of time, as Saturn also rules time.
