This is a powerful birthday. You are meant to rule or lead in some manner. Even with a sensitive Pisces Sun sign, you are also a very proud and determined person who is charming and attractive. You are a trend setter, always looking forward. Independent and self-reliant, you do best in a job in which you set the pace and the schedule. You have many ideas how to improve the world around you, and you have an unmistakable idealistic streak.

This is an important time for listening to your intuition, dear Aries. You’re in a good position to understand yourself, others, and the past, and in so doing, you’re setting yourself up for strong decisions going forward, as planets begin to move into your sign. Strong energy for releasing yourself from something from the past, particularly when it comes to romantic or creative matters, is with you today. Don’t be afraid to face something uncomfortable in the name of growing and improving. Imagination is powerful now. It’s also a strong day for coming up with interesting new ideas. Information might come to you today that you’ve been waiting for. There can be some serendipity happening now – something you hear or someone you meet by chance can stir up all sorts of feelings, thoughts, and ideas that lead you in new directions. The Moon in your sign puts emotions into stronger focus than usual – aim to get in touch with your feelings now.
Taurus
Taurus
Connections made now and later this month can feel spiritually rich and inspiring, dear Taurus. There can be unusual connections made, you could bump into an old friend, or there can be sudden memories of people from your past that spur you on or motivate you to pursue a dream. Whatever comes together now may not be dramatic, but it’s likely to subtly enhance your life. Conversations can be inspirational and imaginative. Patience with others can boost your personal magnetism, and others may be vying for your attention. Today is strong for naturally attracting friends, or attention from current friends. There is a romantic or idealistic theme in your life now. Even so, for some of you there can be confusion with a friend or associate now, and misrepresentation or misunderstandings are possible. As long as you are content with temporarily not knowing the facts, you’ll be in good shape.
Gemini
Gemini
There is powerful intuition to draw upon today, dear Gemini. Your career or life path may not be clear at this time, but you should pay attention to cues occurring now that seem to point you in a new or interesting direction. If you are in a public or professional setting today, you are inclined to project your more unique qualities and to come across as confident. The key to success now is to keep it real – avoid showiness and simply let others see you for your value. Reason and intuition mix in intriguing ways right now, and you can feel inspired or you could inspire others. You may be dreaming up new ideas to impress others or to further your professional interests, and expressing yourself with extra panache. However, it’s important to avoid situations that might be misinterpreted.
Cancer
Cancer
Today, look for people, places, and ideas to stimulate and inspire you, dear Cancer. Personal appeal is strong and you can be especially persuasive and attractive, particularly as you present your ideas and share your dreams and visions. Thoughts turn to larger matters and bigger ideas. You might experience the sudden desire to act out a fantasy or dream. Try not to put all of your eggs into one basket, as ideas have a way of seducing you and you may be led astray. There can be some inclination to gloss over or adjust previously held beliefs and morals today. Your powers of persuasion are quite strong right now, but avoid the temptation to deceive. As well, take advice received now with a grain of salt. However, absolutely do enjoy a fantasy or two about the future. Travel or educational plans may fall into place now, or you could intuitively arrive at an idea or plan that points you in an interesting new direction. Your ideas or words could catch on and influence many.
Leo
Leo
The spiritual side of your relationships and interactions is in stronger focus today, dear Leo, and you may be naturally drawn to people and situations that are healing. There is greater openness and willingness to understanding power dynamics. Good energy is with you for expressing yourself in the entirely unique way that makes you special and people are especially drawn to you. Your fantasy world can be quite rich today, but keep in mind that there can be some confusion or impracticality to deal with now. Ideally, however, reason and intuition combine in helpful ways, leading you to new ideas, solutions to problems, or strategies for better managing your life. You’ll arrive at these things through nontraditional methods and freeform thinking. It’s up to you to decide whether what you’re experiencing now is illumination or self-deception.
Virgo
Virgo
This is a strong, intriguing time for close relationships, dear Virgo. This is a time for connecting and attracting in perhaps unusual or serendipitous ways. Agreements can be made, cooperation comes easily, and relationships can have a magical quality to them. Today’s energies are strong for healing a relationship or your own attitude towards relating. Possible solutions for achieving more equality or a better understanding of someone can emerge now, rather intuitively. Motivation to make improvements in your life is strengthening. This is not about keeping the peace but working hard toward achieving peace and harmony. There is more creativity and imagination in your interactions, which are best approached in an unstructured way. It’s a strong time for forgiving, healing, and understanding.
Libra
Libra
This is a time for allowing for human imperfection and giving permission to yourself to be a little vulnerable, dear Libra. You can bring especially creative and inspired touches to the work you do, or you could be intuitively drawn to a new path of healing or a work method that serves you especially well. When it comes to health, the mind-body connection is a big focus these days. It’s a generally good time for beginning a new health or fitness program, as you can be suddenly (and possibly uncomfortably) aware of a need to improve your health. You might discover new ways of approaching your work, or you could find that you’re rather easily solving problems that have previously baffled you. Some chaos may be present in your regular routine, but if you allow for some shifting of schedules and fuzzy facts, you are likely to enjoy the day.
Scorpio
Scorpio
These days are strong for love, romance, creative pursuits, hobbies, and recreation, dear Scorpio. This is a time for listening to your intuition and following a path that seems a good fit. Don’t be afraid to put your work on display, share your ideas, and connect with people you want to spend time with. Personal magnetism is powerful now. You are inspired and motivated to express yourself in unique ways. Romantically speaking, this is a fine day for attracting someone who truly appreciates you for your more unique qualities. In order to more fully enjoy the energies of the day, it’s important to recognize fragility and imperfection as natural and beautiful, and to “go with the flow” rather than expect inhuman capabilities from others. You may need to deal with moodiness due to a stronger need for affection and extra sensitivity to feedback from others, but taming your expectations can help. This is a time for dreaming up imaginative plans – the details are not yet clear, and you should resign yourself to the idea that they don’t need to be at the moment.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
This is a time for giving extra attention to your loved ones and to your home and domestic routines, dear Sagittarius. If you look for them, you’ll find opportunities to boost your relationships with family and those close to you, mainly through honest, direct, and open conversations. This is true particularly today but on some level much of the week. You could be reminiscing about the past, and possibly romanticizing it as well. Try to be content with leaving things open to interpretation rather than pushing for exact answers, unless, of course, you’re in a situation that requires dealing with facts and details. Even so, be willing to face uncomfortable ideas in the name of growing and improving or leaving a negative attitude or situation behind. If you keep your sense of humor and an open mind, it can be a creative, inspiring, warm, and imaginative day. You have much wisdom to gain now, particularly about your heart’s desires and deeper needs and feelings.
Capricorn
Capricorn
This can be an interesting time for news coming in, communications, learning, and ideas, dear Capricorn. Some of you could find new channels or platforms for self-expression, and these can be more imaginative, creative, and, ultimately, more fulfilling. Today is good for sharing ideas and for your own intuition about what’s best for you – you might be drawn quite naturally in a new direction. Promotional efforts can be quite successful now. You can present original and unique ideas in an attractive, non-threatening way today, and you might want to take advantage of this energy by pitching an idea or simply having a conversation that means a lot to you. While you should watch for misunderstandings and fuzzy facts, perhaps letting go of the need to be “in the know” can lead to creative ideas and insights.
Aquarius
Aquarius
This can be a time for drawing on your intuition, dear Aquarius, particularly related to business and money matters. Try not to turn a blind eye to the details of money matters, but do entertain ideas that incorporate higher goals and ideals. You can see practical matters in a whole new light or from an entirely different perspective now. It’s a good time to “birth” new business ideas. Others may be supportive and a partner can be in your corner now. You could be drawn to your fantasies and those things you want to believe, particularly related to comfort items, possessions, business, or money. Envision those things you want, but wait a little before chasing these things. You can come up with some very creative and unique business or money-making ideas, and you can be very resourceful and imaginative when it comes to transforming what you already own or have in such a way that these things are like new.
Pisces
Pisces
This is a potentially strong time for personal recognition and a renewed sense of purpose, dear Pisces. Your unique and special qualities are showcased in some way today with two major conjunctions occurring in your sign. You’ll have the chance to display your talents and natural savvy. A little appreciation from others can go a long way towards your own efforts at self-improvement. You are doing your own thing now, and others tend to see your value and worth. Others may be seeing you as especially intriguing and persuasive. You can feel inspired, and your imagination is soaring. Someone could very well be on your side right now, and tending to your needs. Certainly, you can have some people hanging on your words, or simply wanting to be around you so that they can soak up some of your positive energy, even if on the inside you can feel a little more vulnerable than usual.

This day celebrates the super-human strength of the Greek hero-God Herakles, son of Alcmene by Zeus. His many adventures included fighting a bull-headed snake to win the love of his earthly wife Deianeira. During the battle, he tore off one of the animal’s horns, which became the cornucopia. He then fought and killed the centaur Nessus, who had tried to rape her. Before Nessus died, he gave Deianeria some of his blood to put on Herakles’s tunic as a charm to keep his love. But the blood poisoned Herakles by burning him. Distressed, Herakles sacrificed himself upon Mt. Oeta. When Herakles was admitted to Mt. Olympus as a God, Zeus gave him his daughter Hebe for his wife. They had two children, Alexiares and Anicerus.
Well, 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.

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.

Today 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 manifestation 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

The name is derived from Old English and Middle English Thursday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretatio romana.
In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.
The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.
Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.
There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar- var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi—referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.
