Subtle Planetary Magic
The magic I perform most often is planetary magic in a very lowkey way. I suppose it's less to achieve a specific goal and more to align myself with the day's planetary energy, though I do often have a goal in mind.
A lot of us are not "out" to everyone in our lives, so carrying around a clunky talisman like a Solomonic pentacle (while admittedly very cool) would not be an easy thing to explain away. Luckily, there are many options to tap into that planetary energy without sticking out at all.
If you would like some information about planetary magic, check out my page about it here. Here's a very quick rundown:
Sunday - Sun - Success, happiness
Monday - Moon - Intuition, divination
Tuesday - Mars - Competition, defeating enemies
Wednesday - Mercury - Communication, business
Thursday - Jupiter - Health, prosperity
Friday - Venus - Love, beauty
Saturday - Saturn - Work, study
One way to work with this information is to plan your schedule around the corresponding days. Bonus points if you manage to schedule things at the proper hour! So, some things you could do:
Sunday - Pretty much anything that you want to succeed: spells, games, applications, etc.
Monday - Perform tarot readings, meditate
Tuesday - Play multiplayer games, gamble (responsibly)
Wednesday - Fill out job applications, have an interview
Thursday - List items for sale, schedule a doctor's appointment
Friday - Get your hair/nails done, go on a date
Saturday - Study for an upcoming test, work a little overtime
Another way to work with these energies is to dress according to the days. Each planet has a color, a metal, and various herbs related to it. You can incorporate these when getting ready for the day by using clothing, jewelry, perfume, etc. Here is a quick reference:
Sunday - Yellow, Gold, Cinnamon
Monday - White, Silver, Jasmine
Tuesday - Red, Iron, Basil
Wednesday - Mixed colors, Mixed metals (was mercury, but that's not a great option these days), Lavender
Thursday - Blue, Tin, Sage
Friday - Green, Copper, Rose
Saturday - Black, Lead (not easily incorporated into an outfit), Patchouli
That's all for this week. Stay safe!
