Wednesday’s child will inherit some of the restless and questioning qualities associated with Mercury.

Therefore, if your birthday star sign belongs to one of the placid categories such as Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn or Pisces, and yet you are anything but placid, maybe you were born on a Wednesday (ruled by Mercury), a Tuesday (ruled by Mars), or a Sunday (ruled by the Sun).

THURSDAY

Meaning: Thor’s day. Thor was the mythological god of thunder, also known as Jupiter, and therefore related to the planet Jupiter.

Oder in week: Traditionally viewed as the fifth day of the week.

Folklore: The Latin for the fifth day was “dies Jovis”, meaning “Jove’s day”, for Jove, or Jupiter, the god of thunder and rain.

Thursday’s child is ruled by Jupiter, the most beneficial of all the planets, the symbol of expansion, happiness, optimism, good humour, room to move – either mentally or physically, spaciousness, freedom and independence.  This child will need these types of things.

Folklore: Friday was held sacred to Venus, th Roman goddess of love.  In French, Friday is known as Vendredi, which shows a link with the name Venus.

Friday’s child has the supplementary ruler of Venus, the planet of beauty, love, affection, sharing, artistry, pleasure, colour, elegance, refinement and romance.  This child will usually fill their lives with these beautiful things.

SATURDAY

Meaning: Saturn’s day.

Order in week: Traditionally viewed as the seventh day of the week.

Folklore: Saturday was named in honour fo the Roman god, Saturn.  The Hebrews called Saturday the “Sabbath”, meaning day of rest.  The Bible identifies Saturday as the last day of the week.

People born in the star sign Capricorn have Saturn as their ruling planet.  This combination makes the serious-minded, ambitious, responsible, mature, cautious, down-to-earth, practical and realistic.  Plans and projects will usually be long-range and well thought out rather than done on impulse.

Saturday’s child inherits some of these qualities of Saturn and Capricorn.  With Saturn’s influence, this child may not be the quite so dreamy Piscean; frivolous Gemini; the impulsive, happy-go-lucky Sagittarian or domineering, bombastic Leo. Saturn both subdues and consolidates the qualities of each star sign.
