The word Wednesday is reminiscent of the Norse wind god Wodin, which is referenced in the popular rhyme verse “Wednesday’s child is full of woe.” This does not mean that those born on this day are full of sorrow or trouble. To be full of Woden (Wodin) means to be full of wind, to be spirited. Woden was such a powerful pagan god that the German church fathers changed the name of his day to Mittwoch, meaning midweek, in an attempt to exorcise his influence.
In the Spanish word for Wednesday, miercoles, we clearly see its connection to Mercury. Under the guidance of Mercury; Wednesday is a day of swift activity, communication, correspondence, and phone calls. This is a good day for journalists, writers, poets, bargaining, hiring employees, and visiting friends.
On Wednesdays, the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Mercury, making these times of the day doubly blessed. These are the strongest four hours for ritual work. Check your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine when sunrise occurs.
Wednesday is the day third of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but some countries counts it as the fourth day of the week.
Odin – the Norse god
Wednesday between Tuesday and Thursday and is named after Germanic god Wodan and Odin, the Norse all father of the gods.
Naming Wednesday
The English, the word Wednesday is derived from Old English and literally means “Wodan’s day”. The Germanic god Wodan is also known as Odin, the Norse all father of the gods.
In most languages with Latin origins, the day is named after the god and planet Mercury.
Middle English – wodnesday or wednesday or wednesdai
Old English – wōdnesdæg – Woden’s day
Latin – dies Mercurii – “Day of Mercury”
Ancient Greek – hemera Hermu – “day of Hermes”
Third day of the Week
Wednesday is the third day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but in the US, Canada, and Japan it’s counted as the fourth day if the week. It is in the middle of the common 5-day work week that starts on Monday and ends on Friday. It is also the middle day in the seven day week that starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday.
“Hump day”
Wednesday is sometimes referred to as “hump day” in American English slang meaning that one has made it “over the hump” of the work week.
This day of the week got it’s name from the god of karma and time, Saturn. This day is obviously associated with the planet Saturn and is our last day of the week. Traditionally Saturdays are great days for protection, banishing a negative situation, and generally a good time to clean up any magical messes that you have been ignoring. Some suggestions for Saturday enchantments would include:
◦Wearing the colors of the day, black and deep purple. Here’s your perfect excuse to be dramatic and witchy. Empower these dramatic pieces of your wardrobe for protection and strength.
◦Burning black candles to absorb negativity and burning purple ones to increase your magical wisdom and boost your spirituality
◦Adding a touch of garden witchery to your Saturday spells by working with the pansy (in black or purple of course), the morning glory flowering vine, or the cypress tree.
◦Carrying an obsidian, hematite, or jet tumbled stone in your pocket to reinforce your personal protection and to ward off bad vibes and sour feelings. You can also add these crystals to a candle spell on a Saturday night to really increase the punch of your spellcasting.
◦Cleaning your house and cleansing it while you are at it. Tap into those obstacle-removing vibes and the positive, concluding energies.
◦Closing up the final day of the bewitching week with a bang by calling on Hecate for protection and guidance.
It’s the end of the week for many of us, so Saturday – named for the god Saturn – is a good time to wrap things up. Associated with the colors black and dark purple, and the metal lead, this day is also connected to the goddess Hecate. Gemstones like Apache tear, obsidian, and hematite are all connected to Saturday’s magic, as are plants such as thyme, mullein, and the cypress tree.
When it comes to magical workings, focus on agriculture and creativity, fortune and hope, protection and banishment of negativity.
Put up a barrier to keep the unwelcome out, eliminate the things that make you miserable, and wash your hands of anything other than your hopes, dreams and goals.

The planetary correspondence for Saturday is Saturn. Matters dealing with the public, farming, family ties, legal matters (such as wills and estates), taking care of debts, dealing with lawyers, financing, joint money matters, real estate, older people, banishing or binding negativity, and getting rid of bad habits all fall under the charge of Saturn. It’s easy to see why “Saturday’s child works hard for his living.”
Saturday’s angels are Cassiel, Machatan, Uriel, and Orifiel. Cassiel is the angel of solitudes and tears. He is one of the rulers of the planet Saturn and occasionally appears as the angel of patience. Cassiel links himself to dragon energy. Regarding Machatan, the only information we get is that he works well with Cassiel and is also a power of Saturn. Orifiel is an angel of the wilderness, a ruler of the second hour of the day, and also associated with Saturn.
On Saturday, the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Saturn, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest four hours for conducting ritual. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

Aries
This is a good time for learning or working on the go, dear Aries, or for doing some wonderful thinking in motion. Even so, there is strong energy for quiet time, family relationships, and comforting or homey activities. You might be craving a little more connection with people you love or your roots. You seek out the familiar now, and this can in fact serve to strengthen you for future more adventurous endeavors. This is also a good time to mend broken fences with people if this is needed, and for bringing a little more harmony into your world. You are taking special comfort in reliable relationships and activities.
Taurus
Through a steadfast, reliable approach, you have much to add to your relationships today, dear Taurus, particularly romantic and intimate connections. Creatively speaking, you’re in a good position to firm up your creations or plans. Today is also good for communication, learning, sharing, and your social life with a Grand Trine occurring in your relationship sectors. This is an intuitive influence. Your ideals are in strong focus, and you’re drawn to people who inspire you. Conversations can be illuminating. There is a nice flow to your communications, and you’ll enjoy the fact that people are picking up on the intention behind your words.
Gemini
The Moon leaves your sign this morning and enters your sector of values and resources, dear Gemini. You are seeking balance on an emotional level, and you could feel that you’re more settled and comfortable with emotional needs less urgent. You’re drawn to physical and sensual comforts, and tend to enjoy the moment more than usual, particularly as the Sun and Neptune also support your endeavors. Insight into business, financial, service, and health matters can be stellar now, particularly if you listen to your inner guide rather than pressure your mind to think up answers. You could be feeling a sense of mission now. A partner, counselor, or special friend is likely to be especially supportive, offering practical guidance.
Cancer
The Moon enters your sign early this morning, dear Cancer, and you begin anew on an emotional level. Put issues behind you that no longer serve you well. Wipe the slate clean on an emotional level and start fresh. Break out of your shell and dare to go against the grain if you feel the desire. While you might awaken feeling a little sluggish, as the day progresses, so does your mood. You are more powerful and visible right now. It’s a time for centering yourself and channeling your energy creatively. There is a healthy balance of optimism and caution so that efforts and plans you make now tend to hold weight down the road. In the coming weeks, you are more inclined to want to balance things out in a partnership. Imbalance can really leave you feeling off-center.
Leo
This is a strong time for quiet activities and some introspection, dear Leo. Take some personal space if you need it, and tune into your inner world. Energy levels may not be strong just for now, but you can benefit from a gentler pace. You may solve a problem or help someone with ideas or knowledge, but for the most part, you are better off with quiet, productive activities. A review of recent events is appropriate now as you wind down a lunar cycle. This can also be a strong day for sorting out a financial problem. While emotional matters are in strong focus, you’re also clearer than usual on the practical plane.
Virgo
This can be a strongly creative day for you, dear Virgo, particularly when it comes to building, design, and structure. In a general sense, the coming weeks are powerful for design with Pallas now transiting your creative sector. Your vision is unique and inspiring. Today, you have special style, and might effectively paint yourself in a very good light or solve a complex problem. When it comes to love, you’re thinking practically and in terms of the long view. It’s also a good day for your social life, communications, and teamwork. It’s easier than usual to muster up support and cooperation, and brainstorming can help you move your plans forward.
Libra
This is another good day for connecting with your inner world, dear Libra, even with the outside world demanding your attention. Insight into money and business matters is excellent again today. You are also more able to express feelings or impressions that you frequently leave to the imagination or can’t find the words for. You are coming across as competent and responsible today, and tend to earn the respect of people in authority. You have steady energy working for you both personally and professionally. However, this is not a day for putting all of your cards on the table. Pass on information on a “need to know” basis only.
Scorpio
You are drawn to, or have special appreciation for, true-blue friends and reliable people in your life today, dear Scorpio, as you have a real desire to count on others now. This can be a good time to receive or give mature advice, or to consider the practicality of plans. Information coming in through friends or networks can be especially helpful. Even so, this is a wonderful day for creative inspiration. Emotional energy runs high, and you’re inclined to feed it further with interesting topics, interactions, and experiences. This is not a time for strict routine. You may be looking for a higher meaning to what you’re doing now.
Sagittarius
This is a strong day for earning respect and gaining support from others through your actions, dear Sagittarius. People around you are appreciating your steadfastness. Cooperation can be excellent now. There can be a good sense that you’re supporting one another in a relationship, or that your goals are meshing well with the people you care about. Business relationships can benefit now. Agreements tend to be mutually beneficial now. Today is about showing respect, and the wonderful side effects of doing so! It’s also a good time for tuning in to your inner guide with a nice connection made between the three sectors of your solar chart that have to do with your inner world, family life, and emotions. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge those tricky things that you might normally sweep under the carpet. Use this time to find answers to emotional dilemmas.
Capricorn
Now and in the coming weeks, you’re especially interested in ways to stand out for your creativity or unique viewpoint, dear Capricorn. Others tend to take special note of your intelligence and insight. Your approach is a little more confident and you’re not as reserved when it comes to asserting your opinions or sharing your ideas. There can be especially interesting people coming into your life. Today is good for communicating warmly. You are more approachable in your manner, and more inclined to attract positive people or experiences into your world. This is a good time for repairs and resolutions, and working together with someone can be particularly productive.
Aquarius
You’ll do well today if you focus on harmonizing, beautifying, or otherwise bringing more balance to your personal environment, dear Aquarius. This can apply to your workspace as much as your home, as you’re in a rather practical frame of mind these days and can feel quite inspired to redefine goals in your work, health, and financial world. You can experience a stronger desire to be of service to people you care about, or you could be feeling a little more in tune with the work you do or the self-care programs that you have in place. You could find that going with the flow comes naturally today, and in fact improves your mood.
Pisces
You’re entering a cycle that can bring you into contact with particularly interesting and perhaps unusual people and groups, dear Pisces. It also brings strong energy for especially unique ideas and plans. Today is strong for expressing your more creative, playful, and romantic side. You are being framed especially well, and can find it easy to access your “inner child”. While your mood is rather outgoing and your desire for fun is strong, you can also come to very practical, inventive solutions to work or mechanical problems now. A partner could show support for your long-term goals now. Agreements tend to be respectful and mutually beneficial today.
