What’s your favorite part of the holidays? Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Winter Solstice, you’ve got plenty of traditions to choose from. Here are some of each zodiac sign’s favorite ways to make the season merry.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You’re in luck, Aries, because most holiday traditions include your favorite element — Fire! Both Kwanzaa and Hanukkah have candle-lighting rituals that last seven days. On Christmas day, you can take charge of burning the Yule log, an ancient custom that originated in pagan winter solstice Fire festivals.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
With all of their delicious traditional foods, the holidays are made for your discerning palate. Christmas party hosts would be wise to check with you when it comes to fine-tuning their spiked eggnog. And if you’re Jewish, surely your latkes are the tastiest.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Some people complain about the holidays being too busy, but this time of year is perfect for your short attention span. You love keeping your dance card chock full as you flit from shopping spree to social gathering. Don’t be surprised if your family nicknames you “the Blur.”
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
From twinkling lights to boughs of holly, you excel in making your home a warm and comfy haven for intimate gatherings, often decorating with your own handcrafted items. Your friends and family rely on you to create the perfect atmosphere for their best holiday memories.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
With your big heart, giving thoughtful presents is key to a happy holiday. You also love to hang with the kids because they bring out your playful side … so you’re usually the one on the floor helping them open, assemble and play with their new toys.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
You love the miraculous story of Mary’s virgin birth, so you look forward to setting up a creche each Christmas season. Since white is your color, you surround the manger scene with billows of cotton snow. Spraying white frost figures on your windows is another one of your favorites. And if it snows on Christmas day … ecstasy!
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
You have a blast picking out ribbons, paper and other baubles for wrapping presents. It calls on your artistic abilities, satisfies your love of beauty and gives you practice in overcoming your personal bugaboo — indecision — since you’ve only got so many shopping days before your gifts must be wrapped and ready.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
For you, dear Scorpio, it’s got to be mistletoe. Adopted from Scandinavia, this tradition gives you the perfect excuse to amp your favorite flirtation up a notch. One can never tell what will come of a kiss in a doorway … but you could have a very happy New Year!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
You’re a big fan of getting away for the holidays, but if you must stay home, gambling with your cronies on a Christmas football game — or playing a competitive game online — can satisfy your restless nature. For Jewish celebrants, try a bout of the traditional Hanukkah betting game and spin the dreidel.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Family traditions of all types make your nostalgic soul happy as long as they follow the same patterns you grew up with. The Christmas dinner table must have all of your favorite dishes, and everything else, from decorating the tree to opening presents, must be “just so” as well.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Some families have developed a tradition of volunteering to help the needy during the holidays. Whether that means donating toys to children or helping out in a soup kitchen, you and your community-oriented soul are on board. Sending a hefty donation to your favorite cause might also be on your list.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Even though you usually describe yourself as spiritual rather than religious, you make an exception for Christmas when you look forward to attending a midnight Mass. The dimly lit cathedral with twinkling candles, chiming bells, magical singing and chanted prayers feeds your mystical soul.
You are looking for harmony today, dear Aries, and you’re more likely to get it as a result, and with the help of a Venus-Jupiter influence today. There is a greater love of mystery, investigation, and intrigue today but not necessarily the self-discipline or focus to really get involved. People are giving you the benefit of the doubt, and vice versa. The Moon is building towards Full, exact early tomorrow, and it will fall in your home and family sector, amping up emotions and making it a wonderful time to honor and pay more attention to family.
Taurus
Taurus
Today, opportunities open up for sharing your happiness with others, dear Taurus, with your ruler, Venus, in harmony with Jupiter, both in your relationship and love/creative sectors. As well, we are building to a particularly sociable, communicative, announcement-friendly, and celebratory Full Moon. It’s a great time to inject positive energy into your relationships. There can be realizations and epiphanies about love and friendship now.
Gemini
Gemini
It’s a strong day for personal appeal, dear Gemini, as well as for family, work, and service. Your open mind and open heart are both strongly in focus now, and it’s quite natural to want to cooperate and connect. The Moon is again in your sign all day, putting your emotional needs and connections at the top of your list. We are building towards a Full Moon, exact tomorrow morning, that can illuminate these needs even further. It’s a fine time to celebrate, enjoy yourself, and connect with the world of the five senses.
Cancer
Cancer
There continues to be a rather retiring quality to your personality and emotions today, dear Cancer. However, you seem to be able to get a lot of things done rather quietly with the Moon in your privacy sector in harmony with Mars in your family and home sector. As the day advances, we build towards a Full Moon which will occur tomorrow morning in your own sign, awakening your emotions to something that you’ve buried or avoided. The desire to share your good feelings with people you love is strong again today.
Leo
Leo
The Moon is in your sociable sector all day and harmonizing with your sign, dear Leo, awakening your innate friendliness and humanitarian inclinations. A Venus-Jupiter aspect this morning inspires your spirit of generosity, and awakens a desire to enjoy a feeling of security and abundance. As the day advances, you can very much enjoy new ideas and connections. We are building towards a Full Moon, which will illuminate a private matter or spiritual feelings in you. Seek out ways to refresh and heal yourself emotionally.
Virgo
Virgo
This is a strong day for communicating, connecting, and socializing, dear Virgo. You can be a little competitive now, but in a fun, healthy way. There is good energy for togetherness, personal appeal, and home life. There can be a desire to handle problem areas in and around the home, or with family, and much of the day, you’re in a good position to take the lead. Your sense of community is big tonight as the Moon moves to full in your social sector. There can be more demands on your time and the need to help others out, but an ease to your ability to meet others’ needs. You seem to be the go-to person now.
Libra
Libra
Strong energy is with you on practical levels again today, dear Libra, but it’s also a strong time for enjoying the world of the five senses, comforts, and pleasures. There can be a feeling of peace with the past. You may be feeling quite positive about your capacity to earn a living and connections you make now can help further your desires. Alternatively, you may be enjoying a wonderful feeling of abundance now. You are feeling generous, although a little insular. The Full Moon that occurs early tomorrow can be a time of epiphanies revolving around business, career, life path, and direction. You may be in the position to take the lead.
Scorpio
Scorpio
This morning is excellent for personal appeal, dear Scorpio, and coming to a sense of calm through consciously letting go of tensions. Your mood is still quite insular, but you are also quite willing to socialize and cooperate. We are building towards a Full Moon, and this one will occur in your adventure sector tomorrow morning. This is a good time for announcements, celebrations, and epiphanies. It’s emotional now, and quite pleasantly so.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
There can be some privacy or a retiring quality when it comes to your love relationships or feelings and pleasure-seeking activities, dear Sagittarius. This is because Venus is in your soul sector. Today’s Venus-Jupiter connection emphasizes the good feelings associated with this position, and also increases your personal magnetism, even if you are a little mysterious. A feeling of inner peace and joy tends to boost your appeal. A private or anonymous act of kindness might lift your spirits as well. The Moon is almost Full, with a Full Moon occurring early morning tomorrow. This can be a time of heightened awareness of your intimacy needs.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Life seems to wind down early today, dear Capricorn, when it’s easier to take things as they come and to feel calm and at peace. Venus and Jupiter are in happy relationship, and this encourages cooperation and positive thinking. It also encourages sharing ideas and coming to happy conclusions about the future and where you feel you’re headed. You are connecting with others through ideas, visions, and ideals. Social and leisure activities can thrive. The Moon is moving towards Full in your opposite sign, and will be exact tomorrow morning. This can bring feelings to your awareness, an epiphany, a plan to fruition, or a relationship to a turning point.
Aquarius
Aquarius
This can be a strong day for getting to a happy perspective of recent problems, dear Aquarius. It’s a good time for big-picture life plan thinking and strategy. A sense that there’s time to achieve what you’d like to achieve is with you now, and this is comforting, and interestingly, quite motivating as well. It’s a powerful time for big-time problem solving – as in long-term, big-picture, life plan thinking. It can be easy to find support today, if you need it. We are building towards a Full Moon, which occurs exactly early tomorrow. This lunation brings realizations and feelings to awareness, particularly related to health, wellness, and work matters.
Pisces
Pisces
There can be a wonderfully free, creative and joyful energy to the day, dear Pisces. You could be releasing small burdens or otherwise expressing your feelings quite happily. It’s a good time to circulate, connect, share your ideas, and even for romantic overtures. Not only is a Venus-Jupiter connection enhancing relationships and shared ideas, we are moving towards a Full Moon in your playful, celebratory solar fifth house, making it a strong time to enjoy and share yourself with others. Be generous, forthcoming, and open now.
Tuesday is a Mars day, and just like the god of war, this is the time to tap into magicks to call for strength and courage. This day of the week is for rebels and warriors. If you are facing a challenge of any kind, need a boost to your courage, or want to enhance your passions, Tuesday is the day of the week for you. Some suggestions for Tuesday enchantments would include:
*Wearing the fiery colors associated with this day: scarlet, red, black, and orange. Don some of the more daring and bewitching colors of your wardrobe on Tuesdays and turn a few heads
*Carrying a bloodstone in your pocket or wearing garnet-studded jewelry to reinforce your convictions
*Working with protective and fire-associated plants such as the snapdragon, thistle, and holly to boost your shields and bravery
*Burning spicy-scented energy-enhancing candles to add a little magical aromatherapy to your home
*Cooking up a hearty meal featuring carrots, peppers, and garlic (all Mars foods and spices) to empower yourself for victory and success
A god, goddess, or planet governs each day of the week. It is usually easy to spot the ruler of the day by its name. The word Tuesday, however, is not so easy, but if we look at the word in Spanish, Martes, we clearly see its connections to Mars.
Because Tuesday revolves around the energy of Mars, Tuesdays are good for business, mechanical things, buying and selling animals, hunting, beginning studies, gardening, sexual activities, and confrontation. This is a day for sex magick, energy, stamina, and health. As in the old saying, Tuesdays child is full of grace, is also good for success magick and defense against enemies.
Angels of Tuesday are Camael, Samael, Satael, Amabiel, Friagne, and Hyniel. When invoked, Camael takes the form of a leopard. In Druid mythology he is a god of war, which is why we see him associated with Mars. Camael is said to be a member of the “Magnificent Seven” in some circles. Camael is another “terminator” angel.
Samael walks both worlds as a magician and sorcerer. some see him as the angel of death, others as “the bright and poisonous one.” Many consider him more of a demon, and accuse him of being Satan. However, there is reference to the satans (plural) as enforcers of the law, a sort of angelic police, if you will. Supposedly, when Samael is around, dogs howl in the night. On one hand, he is the ruler of the fifth heaven and in charge of two million angels; on the other, he is the one who changed into a serpent and convinced Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit of knowledge.
Satael is an angel of air invoked in magic rites and is the presiding spirit of the planet Mars. Amabiel is another spirit of the planet Mars; however he spends his energy on issues of human sexuality. Friagne, also an angel of this day, is invoked from the east. He is a member of the fifth heaven. Hyniel also belongs to this day and is subject to the east wind.
On Tuesdays the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Mars, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest ones to do ritual in. Check your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.
A Sun-Uranus trine today stimulates wonderful forward-looking energy, dear Aries. You are likely to want to put something behind you and to look to new horizons now, and your attitude is optimistic. A strong urge to rid yourself of restrictions, particularly in the mind or in your attitude, can motivate you to take charge. You may be excited about new projects or interests or old ones that you are ready to push forward. Look for opportunities to publish, promote, travel, share, and learn. You can be happy to put an old method behind you and embrace a more open or authentic way to express yourself. There can be a desire to enjoy an entirely new adventure of sorts, whether this is in the mind or physical.
Taurus
Taurus
You might enjoy a desire to put a problem behind you today, dear Taurus, related to a relationship or your own emotional state. Embracing change comes more easily to you today than it does on most other days as you are able to detach yourself from some elements of the past. There is readiness when it comes to approaching typically tricky or deeper emotional issues, if only to move past them. There can be a bonus received now, either material or emotional, that seems to come up out of the blue. If you’re in need of a regeneration of sorts, including kicking a bad habit, this is a good time to do so. A pleasing connection can be made today. You can experience a strong emotional need to do something spontaneous or taboo – to break through barriers. Behind the scenes efforts are favored now.
Gemini
Gemini
The day brings good energy for connecting with others, dear Gemini, whether it’s a one-on-one situation or a friendship that develops from a friend of a friend or group connection. It’s an excellent time for being around people, networking, pairing up, and following through on recent connections. You are a little more spontaneous than usual, and people around you seem to be open to change and progress as well. Putting your head together with someone, you might come up with a great idea or opportunity that may not occur to you on a regular day. It’s also a good day to socialize and fraternize, join a group or attend a meeting, and otherwise make connections. You may open your eyes to someone who appears more friendly, or someone could see you in a new, more positive light. You’re also less anxious about social situations today.
Cancer
Cancer
This is another strong day when your ruler, the Moon, forms supportive aspects and you feel freer to be yourself, dear Cancer. Romantic and creative activities are favored. Also today, a Sun-Uranus aspect encourages a healthy desire to improve and make changes, particularly in practical areas. You can come to a new understanding about certain career, health, or financial matters today, or an overview of sorts as to where you are headed or want to head. Goals seem realizable. The desire is to move past problem areas or situations that truly hold you back from realizing your potential. New insights can be experienced now, and should not be ignored. A money-making idea may very well be golden. You might come across a new and innovative method for getting your work done or a way to update technology or methods of doing your business that free you to pursue other opportunities that require your attention. A sense of turning over a new leaf with a health or fitness goal can be with you today.
Leo
Leo
You can experience a desire to put something behind you or pull yourself out of a rut today, dear Leo, and this is especially so on romantic, recreational, and creative levels. This is a good time to break the routine in little or subtle ways – there is no need to force. Small personal triumphs are the goal now, and you might consider opportunities in areas of recreation, hobbies, higher education, travel, or publishing and promotion. You can find that others are agreeing with you or harmonizing in key ways, particularly a partner or significant other. You may be feeling more confident about pursuing a personal interest, creative endeavor, or even a relationship than you have been. There can be an opportunity to learn a new way of thinking through a connection or recreational activity (even an inspiring book or movie) or to inspire someone with your ideas and perspective.
Virgo
Virgo
The chance to put something behind you on an emotional level can emerge today, dear Virgo. This can be about a financial or home matter for some of you. This is a time for exploring ways to break out of a rut with family, in your home life, or in terms of your attitude towards how much you are in control of your own world. Allow yourself to enjoy your relationships with others by detaching yourself a little from your fears and insecurities, as good energy is with you for pushing beyond your usual limits and barriers, which are often self-imposed in the first place. There can be cooperation with someone close to you now. Some might enjoy good news on a financial level. This can also be a day when you or someone you love opens up about an intimate matter with nice, liberating results.
Libra
Libra
Circumstances are such that it’s clear a relationship needs a fresh approach today, dear Libra, or you begin to see your relationship needs in a brand new way now. You’re approaching life with more spirit and faith, particularly as you interact with others and in your communications. There can be unexpected assistance or kindness, and possibly pleasant surprises, from a neighbor or acquaintance, partner, or close friend. Communications are more open-minded and forward-looking than usual. It’s a good day for reaching out, checking in with others or extending simple gestures that show you care, and learning new things. A new mental interest or project could reach a nice turning point or you might refresh an old project. The attitude today is “out with the old and in with the new” particularly for you as this pertains to relationships, learning, transportation, and communications.
Scorpio
Scorpio
Today brings good energy for getting over things – living in the present and looking forward to the future, rather than dwelling on the past, dear Scorpio. It’s also strong for planning and formulating strategies. Your intuition is serving you well. New insights into your career path, money and resources, or a work project can emerge today that can truly push you forward. You are drawn to new ways or methods for improving your daily life, income, and health now. In fact, alternative healing methods can be a draw now, or you might discover new ideas about approaching your health that liberate you from methods that haven’t been working for you. You certainly need to break out of any ruts that have kept you from thriving. The Moon occupies your sign all day, bringing visibility and an open pipeline to your emotions. Once again, the Moon is finding easy outlets for expression, and you’re in a great position for personal appeal and creative insight.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
The Sun in your sign is forming a beneficial, supportive aspect to progressive Uranus today, dear Sagittarius, and this can stimulate some nice feelings of moving forward, particularly on creative levels. Others may be noticing you and appreciating your point of view, and they can be drawn to your optimism and ability to detach at appropriate times. You could be feeling freer to be yourself, to express your ideas or your affections, and even to put on a little show with your talents if it so pleases you. Your tastes may seem a little offbeat or different today, and you are also interested in new and different hobbies, pastimes, and recreational activities. It’s a great time to breathe new life into old projects and even relationships, or to pick up a new interest and pursue it with confidence. Don’t ignore the emotional opportunities of the day in the process: good energy is with you for connecting with family.
Capricorn
Capricorn
An important change occurs today, and while its benefits may not be clear to you just yet, dear Capricorn, you’re likely to feel rather brave and confident as you sense you’re moving past something. There is more openness to change in the family unit or within your own mind as you are willing to let go of an expectation or a burden that you may have put on yourself. Family matters can thrive with an open mind. You might consider ways to improve your living space. This can be a time for receiving or giving support and help, and it can be gratifying. The key theme of the day is some form of liberation. You need to feel the weight of burdens lift. Look for opportunities to pull yourself out of a rut or to free yourself of an energy-draining habit.
Aquarius
Aquarius
This can be a strong day for communications and relationships in general, dear Aquarius, as your ruler, Uranus, forms a strong, supportive aspect to the Sun, currently a guest in your solar sector of friends, groups, and long-term dreams and goals. You are likely to feel quite confident and optimistic, and possibly excited to share ideas and plans with others. Networking can be beneficial or enjoyable now. You’re in an especially open frame of mind about making changes. There may very well be a new avenue of communication that opens up with someone special today, and agreements might be made or easy interactions with others are featured. There could be good news or encouraging, inspiring conversations. Open the airways, communicate, and encourage others to do so as well.
Pisces
Pisces
You might enjoy a pleasant surprise now, dear Pisces, related to your work, long-term goals, and finances. Some of you could enjoy a bonus, raise, or some form of recognition for your efforts. Others might come up with a new idea related to business or money-making plans. This is a time when you’re feeling especially open to new ideas and opportunities, possibly acquiring a new item that improves your life, or discovering a method that improves your work or business. Your intuition is strong when it comes to new ideas to make improvements. It’s a good idea to present yourself professionally today, as people can be drawn to your ease with practical affairs and your open-handed, open-minded approach. This is also a fine day for learning and teaching, legal matters, and travel plans.

—-Book of Witchery: Spells, Charms & Correspondences for Every Day of the Week
A god, goddess, or planet governs each day of the week. It is usually easy to spot the ruler of the day by its name. The word Tuesday, however, is not so easy, but if we look at the word in Spanish, Martes, we clearly see its connections to Mars.
Because Tuesday revolves around the energy of Mars, Tuesdays are good for business, mechanical things, buying and selling animals, hunting, beginning studies, gardening, sexual activities, and confrontation. This is a day for sex magick, energy, stamina, and health. As in the old saying, Tuesdays child is full of grace, is also good for success magick and defense against enemies.
Angels of Tuesday are Camael, Samael, Satael, Amabiel, Friagne, and Hyniel. When invoked, Camael takes the form of a leopard. In Druid mythology he is a god of war, which is why we see him associated with Mars. Camael is said to be a member of the “Magnificent Seven” in some circles. Camael is another “terminator” angel.
Samael walks both worlds as a magician and sorcerer. some see him as the angel of death, others as “the bright and poisonous one.” Many consider him more of a demon, and accuse him of being Satan. However, there is reference to the satans (plural) as enforcers of the law, a sort of angelic police, if you will. Supposedly, when Samael is around, dogs howl in the night. On one hand, he is the ruler of the fifth heaven and in charge of two million angels; on the other, he is the one who changed into a serpent and convinced Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit of knowledge.
Satael is an angel of air invoked in magic rites and is the presiding spirit of the planet Mars. Amabiel is another spirit of the planet Mars; however he spends his energy on issues of human sexuality. Friagne, also an angel of this day, is invoked from the east. He is a member of the fifth heaven. Hyniel also belongs to this day and is subject to the east wind.
On Tuesdays the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Mars, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest ones to do ritual in. Check your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.
