Thursday is also associated (in Greek mythology) to Thor – Thor’s day – and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same. Both are strong and powerful, yet wise and just. Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect.
This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion

Brew up a pot of mint tea to help increase your cash flow. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to an unscented candle to encourage some fast cash. Bake up a loaf of wheat bread for the family, and celebrate abundance and be thankful for all that you have.
Conjure up a witchy craft and create a philter or two for your magickal needs. Work with the deities and the magickal plants corresponding with Thursday.
How did the energies of the plants of Jupiter enhance your magick? What did you learn by working with Juno, Jove, or Zeus? The truth is that by adding these new techniques and information into your spellcasting repertoire, you will indeed advance your skills, thereby moving up in the ranks to become a more adept magickal practitioner
Just by believing in yourself and working toward creating abundance, health, and prosperity, you have already begun to transform your outlook on life. Put your game face on; think positively. Work with Thor for perseverance and courage, and apply those qualities to your own prosperity spells and healing witchery. Break out the tarot cards; How could you incorporate that symbolism into other spells of your own design?
Use your imagination, check Thursday’s correspondence list, and see what other bewitching things you can conjure up for prosperity magick all by yourself. Call on the gods and goddess of Thursday and bring some positive change, abundance, health, and prosperity into your life!

CUSTOM-MADE DAILY MAGICK FOR THURSDAYWell, let’s see … abundance, prosperity, and good health has been our focus for this day. Now how about a little more information and ideas for working practical magick with one of our fascinating featured deities of the day?
Juno was the Queen of Heaven. As the matriarch of the gods, she guarded over women in every aspect of their lives. Juno was thought to have renewed her virginity every year. Similar to other goddess stories, Juno was a triple goddess-a virgin who belonged to no one; a mother and woman in the prime of her life, sexual and mature; and also a crone, powerful, wise, and sometimes vengeful (as she made her husband’s many mistresses’ lives either fairly unhappy or short).
There are references to an early all-female triad of goddesses known as the Capitoline Triad. This triad consisted of Juventas, Juno, and Minerva. To the Greeks, they would have been known as Hebe, Hera, and Hecate. Ultimately the triad became Juno, Minerva, and the male Jupiter. Jupiter, another of Thursday’s gods, was Juno’s consort.
As mentioned earlier, Juno, in her aspect as Juno Moneta, was the patron and protector of the Roman mint. The coins produced at her temples were blessed by Juno and imbued with her powers of abundance and prosperity. In another of her aspects as Juno Augusta, Juno was the goddess of an abundant harvest.
In addition, another of Juno’s magickal correspondences is the semiprecious stone malachite. Malachite is a beautiful green-banded stone that was also called the “peacock stone” in Italy. The peacock was a sacred animal of Juno’s, and the magickal energies of malachite encourage health and prosperity.

Thursday’s WitcheryToday is the day for prosperity work of all kinds. It can also be used for healing work, whether that is a physical healing of an illness or an emotional healing. Also remember that you have to follow up your healing work and prosperity magick and physical action.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have met new witches who complain to me that their prosperity spell or “I need a better job” spell did not work as they expected. They’ll ramble on and on about how much time and money they spent working their magick….but, alas, they had no glorious manifestion of wealth or fabulous job that suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in their laps.
Then, when I gently ask them, “Did you enchant your resume or application when you filled it out? Did you do a little confidence-boosting spellwork when you went to apply for the job or went to the interview?” typically they give me a blank, confused stare.
Nine times out of ten, their response is, “You mean I have to go out and actually look for the job too?” Um, yes, my dear, you certainly do. Magick follows the path of least resistance, which means it’s going to manifest along the simplest, quickest route. Get out there and hit the pavement. See what you can find. Times are tough and competition for good jobs is fierce, so you need whatever edge you can get. For folks like us, we’re going to get the edge by using our magick and our spellcraft.
Thursdays have such a rich source of magick for us to draw upon that, honestly, the sky is the limit. This is the day associated with the gods of the sky and heavens, after all. Get to know these deities and add their wisdom and magick into your days.

Dedication to the Goddess
The Goddess brings us no more or less than we are to her
She is the power for us to find ourselves
She is the light that guides our ways
She is the hand that extends when we are lost
She finds our heart and soul
For she knows what we hide
She bears all for us
For she is Mother and we are child

Polaris and Comet Lovejoy
Image Credit & Copyright: Rogelio Bernal Andreo
Explanation: One of these two bright sky objects is moving. On the right is the famous star Polaris. Although only the 45th brightest star in the sky, Polaris is famous for appearing stationary. Once you find it, it will always appear in the same direction — all night and all day — for the rest of your life. This is because the northern spin pole of the Earth — called the North Celestial Pole — points near Polaris. On the left, about ten million times closer, is Comet Lovejoy, which noticeably changes its sky position by the hour. The featured image was taken last week. Officially designated C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy), this disintegrating snowball is on a visit from the outer Solar System and will only appear near the North Star for a few more weeks. That should be long enough, however, for northerners with binoculars or a small telescope to see the greenish coma of this fleeting newcomer, perhaps with the help of a good star map.
Think of a horse running free. An archer’s eye trained on a distant target. A monk’s heart and mind expanding to the heavens. The Moon encourages you to reach beyond a limit today. Pick one thing (however small) that you can do in the next hour to renew your sense of adventure and love for the world. The energy of Sagittarius is expansive, free, optimistic, generous, philosophical and visionary. Quick-jot down five things you’re grateful for. Next, write down your current salary and add a couple zeros. And that fabulous thing you haven’t accomplished yet? See yourself having done it. In this expansive frame of mind, hug a know-it-all. Forgive anyone who sticks their foot in their mouth. But avoid the mall, you’ll overspend. In body matters, take a loofa to your cellulite thighs. If you go to the gym this Moontime, be cautious of upper leg strain.

General Description:
The Lamas of Tibet encourage all sorts of magic. Their religion is a form of Buddism, introduced into Tibet about 750 A.D. It is corrupted with the worship of demons, and many curious magical beliefs. The Food Charm is used to stamp the form of their god Buddha on their food for protection against the powers of evil, and for happiness, both of the physical and spiritual body. The device shows the god Buddha probably surrounded with the emblematic circle of rice, which in Tibet means the Wheel of Life, or misfortunes roll off, and good fortune rolls on.
Porcupine has appeared in your reading today to bring a message of innocence and trust. Although Porcupine can throw quills when cornered, he is gentle, loving, and non-aggressive. Is there an area of your life that need Porcupine energy? Have you lost the ability to trust??
Balance denotes the benefits of keeping the use of your energies justifiably proportioned between your pursuits. The symbol Yin and Yang is used to represent the balance. Yin and Yang is possibly the most elegant and sometimes elusive definition of Balance there is. While Balance is rarely if ever perfect, being far out of Balance means that while one part of you may be thriving tremendously, another part of your life may be wilting.
As a daily card, Balance indicates a need to find and maintain a level physical and spiritual state. It suggest you may be concentrating your energy on one or a few things so much that you are neglecting other important aspects of your life. While this is often necessary to make immediate gains it can lead to missing out on the diverse richness of life in the long term.
The Emperor is blessed with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order and provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t careful not to over use his powers he may well become a tyrant.

The World suggests you have found or will find your place in our Universe—that place where all is as it should be
Aries
While your focus on daily affairs may be keeping you bound to a desk or close to home these days, dear Aries, yesterday’s Full Moon has brought out a need for more adventure, a wider reach, or something non-routine. You could be coming out with a project, ready to announce something important to you, or promoting a recent project. Today, your personal appeal is strong. Avoid giving in to sudden impulses and desires, but do treat yourself to some form of light indulgence or extravagance – something that you won’t later regret. The Moon enters your career and goals sector tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday, and this can stimulate your ambitions.
Taurus
You might be in the position to play detective today, dear Taurus, or it’s about your disposition, as you tend to be investigating, researching, and analyzing. It’s a good time for probing and looking at old problems in a new light, but do watch for false information or a tendency to latch on to “facts” that support wishful or even fearful thinking, with Neptune clouding our vision. Today, you might suddenly become obsessed with something or someone, but this is only a mask for a deeper issue. Avoid overly impulsive moves right now, but do treat yourself with a small indulgence. People are drawn to you today – you have a little extra oomph.
Gemini
Today is a good time for giving your close relationships or significant people in your life their due attention, dear Gemini. Resolutions are likely now. It’s a time for showing how fair you can be. You might go so far as to people-please today, and this is just fine if you are truly feeling good about it, but know your limits on this front. Avoid going overboard to the point that you feel overloaded or put upon. Overall, the day is strong for connecting and bonding with others. The Moon moves into your solar eighth house tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday, and this can bring on a more introspective disposition.
Cancer
Health or work matters that have been brushed aside recently are in focus now, dear Cancer, and this is a good time to give them their due attention. There can be a good feeling that comes from being productive, useful, or helpful now, although the day’s energies may seem to favor emotions and pleasures over practical activities. It might be wise to allow more time for yourself to get things done. The Moon enters your partnership zone tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday. This brings out your need to be with others, but most of all, with a significant someone. One-on-one seems the most appealing and beneficial during this cycle.
Leo
You may have received a cosmic push to explore your creativity or to express yourself in special ways from yesterday’s Full Moon, dear Leo. Today, take the time to tune in to your heart’s desire, as it’s an important time for realizing your needs, even if they’ve been buried for quite some time. Watch, however, for desires that seem to come on too quickly, as they may only be masks for what you truly want. The Moon enters your work and service sector tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday. This can stimulate an emotional need to contribute and produce. Work and health can be in stronger focus.
Virgo
There can be an indulgent, passive quality to the day, dear Virgo. You are amenable and in the mood to spoil someone you care about. Family matters tend to attract your attention and thrive for you right now. Past issues can emerge, and it’s mostly a pleasant trip down memory lane. There may be a move or reorganizing of the home in the works, and new ideas about improving your home life or domestic activities. Later today, you are moving out of a domestic or withdrawn frame of mind, and could be itching to do something creative or share your ideas and feelings with others.
Libra
Teaching, authoring, and communications in general can be especially rewarding now, dear Libra. The day is more settled than it was yesterday, although you may not be certain where to direct your energies. You might find it nice to talk something through, spend time with others, and learn assorted facts. Personal magnetism is good. Later today, the Moon moves into your home and family sector for a couple of days, and this brings out the desire to surround yourself with familiar people and to stick with what you know just for the time being. Attention to personal matters is most appropriate now.
Scorpio
There can be special interest in, and focus on, money, possessions, valuables, and comfort today, dear Scorpio. You might want to look into ways to increase your income through networking, expanding your audience, and connecting with people far and wide. You could be looking into the past for benefits, or reviewing the past, especially with finances and close relationships now. The desire for comfort is very strong today. Tonight, the Moon moves into your communications zone where it will stay for a couple of days, stimulating your curiosity and desire for movement, learning, and connecting.
Sagittarius
This is a day for being closer to your heart, dear Sagittarius, with the Full Moon having just occurred in your own sign. Today, there continues to be a lot of attention and focus on you. and with emotions still in the forefront but a little more settled, it’s a good time to consider what you need to feel satisfied or fulfilled. Desires can feel pressing, and you are giving off good vibes. Sometimes the Moon in our own sign can lead us to act childish or spoiled – avoid this as much as possible. It’s very appropriate to focus on your needs, but allow things and people to come to you. The Moon leaves your sign tonight, and will spend a couple of days in your values sector, prompting a stronger need to take care of what you have and own.
Capricorn
This is an important time for helping others, dear Capricorn, or for volunteering and performing other types of service for some of you. Others may need to go within and spend more time alone and resting with the Full Moon having just occurred in your spirituality sector and the Moon continuing to highlight this part of your chart until tonight. As much as possibly, avoid entertaining guilt about what you haven’t done. Do what you know is right at the moment and resolve to do so more often going forward. Tonight, the Moon moves into your sign, where it will spend time for a couple of days. This is a time for more emotional clarity as well as urgency, as emotional needs can feel pressing.
Aquarius
This can be a good time for reaching out to friends and people in your network, dear Aquarius. You may be especially aware of the need for their support, or simply the good feeling of camaraderie with others. You could be bringing something special to a group now, and deriving satisfaction from that. There may be surprises in your social life, but for some of you, there can be feelings of unrest if you are expecting more than you are getting from your friends. This is a day for being kind to yourself. The Moon enters your privacy zone tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday, and stirs the need for emotional renewal, rest, reflection, and healing.
Pisces
There is a stronger focus on performance, career, responsibilities, and what others expect of you today, Pisces. Keep a safe distance emotionally if you need to draw conclusions or deal with important facts and figures. Otherwise, entertain your feelings about where you’re headed and why – you can learn a lot about yourself in the process. Avoid impulsive moves on the career front today, but do watch for interesting and seemingly coincidental events now. Tonight, the Moon moves into your solar eleventh house, where it will stay through to the end of Friday. This brings less emphasis on performance and more interest in socializing.
