Wednesday Is Ruled By Mercury

Wednesdays are wild and wacky days. They are for communication, change, cunning, and the arts. This is a Mercury day, and just its patron god this day is full of contradictions, change, and excitement. Some suggestions for Wednesday enchantments would include:

Pulling a little Wednesday color magic into your life by wearing purples or orange

Carrying a multipurpose agate with you and tapping into its various charms

Working with magical plants such as the fern for protection. This plant will also boost the power of any other magical plants with which it is arranged.

Incorporating lavender into charms and spells for transformation

Using the charming scent of lily of the valley to improve your memory, or working with the aspen tree for communication

Calling on Athena, patron of arts and crafts, for inspiration for a new project

Fanning out a Tarot spell to increase you creativity

Calling on Hermes on a Wednesday night to bring movement and good luck into your life

Daily Magickal Applications for Wednesday

To the Romans, this day was called Dies Mercurii, or “Mercury’s day” Mercury was a popular character in the Roman pantheon. A messenger of the gods, he presided over commerce, trade, and anything that required skill or dexterity. The Celts also worshiped Mercury and eventually equated him with the Norse god Odin (some spelling variations on this name include Wotan, Wodin, and Wodan). In Norse mythologies, Odin, like Mercury, is associated with poetry and music. Interestingly enough, both Odin and Mercury were regarded as psychopomps, or the leaders of souls, in their individual mythologies.

Odin, one of the main gods in Norse mythology, was constantly seeking wisdom. He traveled the world in disguise as a one-eyed man with a long gray beard, wearing an old, beat-up hat and carrying a staff or a spear (which brings to my mind images of Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings). In the Old English language, this day of Mercury evolved into Wodnes daeg, “Woden’s day,” or Wednesday.

Wednesday carries all of the planetary and magickal energies and associations of the witty and nimble god Mercury himself. Some of these mercurial traits included good communication skills, cleverness, intelligence, creativity, business sense, writing, artistic talent, trickiness, and thievery. And don’t forget all of those wise and enigmatic qualities associated with the Norse god Odin/Wodin, not to mention the goddess Athena’s contributions of music, the arts, handmade crafts, and writing. Wednesdays afford excellent opportunities for seeking wisdom, changing your circumstances, and improving your skills, be they in trade and commerce, music and art, or in communication and writing.

Power Hours: Sunrise and the 8th, 16th, and 24th hours following

Keywords: Success, creativity, communication

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 Wo (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.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, December 2

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

This is a time when you notice all of the little things that are not working up to par, dear Aries, with the Moon moving into your solar sixth house this morning. You are suddenly more aware of the flaws and inconsistencies in your daily life. While this can lead to unnecessary worry or frustration, you can take advantage of this state of mind by actively working on fixing problems. Take the time to reorganize, tidy, and handle nagging problems that will help to free your mind for more interesting experiences. However, later today it can be a little difficult keeping centered. You can’t seem to escape the fact that life goes on no matter where your head is, and little tasks that you’ve neglected still need doing. A slight emotional low can make everyday tasks more difficult to perform. Do what you can to fix the root of productivity problems now by getting yourself into the spirit of things. Partnering up may be helpful now.

Taurus

Taurus

While there can be some excellent energy for smoothing over relations with a co-worker or someone in your daily life today, dear Taurus, energy is a little tense now. You are desiring a little positive feedback, validation, or admiration from the people around you, but they could be too self-absorbed or busy dealing with other issues to take that time. Avoid emotional displays and try to rise above it by not taking things too personally. Work on things that make you happy or get the less satisfying work you need to do out of the way so that you can make room for personal enjoyment. Keep in mind that your perceptions of others are a little fuzzy so that you don’t get in line for a disappointment. Seeing what you wish to see in a friend or lover can feel like a temporary fix to your mood, but the reality of the situation is likely to present itself in time. Aim to increase your powers of empathy and compassion in place of over-idealizing someone.

Gemini

Gemini

You may not be seeing a professional or reputation matter clearly today, dear Gemini, possibly because you are fantasizing about what you wish to happen and not paying attention to the reality of the matter. Watch for a solitary, moody, and self-protective attitude with others that effectively pushes them away. A conflict is possible revolving around partnerships and previously made agreements, and it can be difficult to find a compromise, or to see things clearly enough to reach a satisfying one if an agreement is arrived at. However, you have a true advantage, as you can easily dig deeper to the heart of a matter. You are not interested in quick fixes to problems, and your willingness and courage to start from the root and work your way up helps you to truly resolve a long-standing problem. Creative power is in fact very strong today.

Cancer

Cancer

Your ability to empathize is very much a gift, dear Cancer, and today, using that gift wisely will help you to overcome some of the tensions around you. You could have a strong sense that someone is trying to force their opinions or ideas on you, and this doesn’t sit well. Show your understanding, but don’t let others think you’re their doormat. Life seems to demand you turn your attention to many different matters today, and you can easily find that you’re distracted. Day-dreaming is one tendency that keeps you from your best performance, and worry about not doing your best is another. Restlessness can be the result, so it may be wise to shuffle your tasks so that you don’t feel stifled, or settle on something that’s a priority and put yourself in an environment that encourages focus and concentration.

Leo

Leo

The Moon leaves your sign this morning, dear Leo, and while this generally has the effect of steadying your emotions, today there can be some tension. A question of whether you have the extra funds for something could arise, or a difference in values with a love interest can crop up now. Regarding money matters, you may have some disappointments or worries as dependencies on others make you feel a little insecure, and there’s pressure to push forward a creative project or even a relationship. Previously trustworthy sources of support may let you down, and this requires you to take charge of the more stable sources of money in your life. Worries are fine up until the point that they motivate you to make important changes. Beyond that, they only serve to burden you and interfere with productivity and practicality. Take steps, even small ones, to get more control over your finances. Look for opportunities to collaborate with someone or to partner up on a communications project.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

The focus now is on you – your needs, your personal projects, and the things that boost your spirits, dear Virgo. The desire for action is strong today. Conflicts with others or kinks in your plans can certainly occur now, but you can effectively extract from them just the right motivation to set things right. If you find that you are attracting confusing situations into your life, consider whether you have an unfulfilled need that craves something more than the mundane from your relationships with others and that draws you to people who seem to need help or who are not very consistent. Sometimes we want something so much that we think we see it in people, and our discriminating skills take a bit of a hit due to wishful thinking. Tend to matters on the home front that seem to need attention before they become bigger problems. This is a good day for motivation to sort out money matters or valuables.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

It’s time to take a breather, in whatever way you can and that relaxes you the most, dear Libra. Avoiding situations that are highly competitive or stressful today is simply strategic and possibly necessary, not escapism. You need some time to regroup and recharge your emotional batteries. It can be difficult to avoid tension with the Moon in stressful aspect and approaching its Last Quarter that has everyone feeling a little edgy. However, it’s a good time to tie up loose ends. Try to clear up a few things in your environment that tend to distract you. Sorting out things in your physical environment can help clear your mind, and you definitely need the clarity. Venus and Juno are reaching an alignment in your sign, and this can turn your attention to equality and harmony in close relationships. Your personal appeal is boosted.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

While there can be some tension today, dear Scorpio, you’re feeling less pressured by responsibilities. You can also discover something fascinating or new information on a situation that offers you more personal power and a sense of accomplishment. Even so, socially there can be some ups and downs. There may be deceptions or misunderstandings, and this can stem from a deeper yearning for a beautiful, wonderful connection to a friend or lover. The yearning itself is not negative. However, you might find that you sometimes project these desires onto friends, hoping to see something that you want to see, but that is not necessarily there. A friend can also be susceptible to the same type of thing – projecting their desires onto you. It can be an uncomfortable position for you, as you don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, but you don’t want to pretend you’re something you’re not either.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

Your career goals and life direction are coming into larger focus today, dear Sagittarius. A new attitude towards your career inspires you to make some changes. However, public and personal lives are both vying for your attention now, and you are required to do a balancing act. You’ll find that confusions surrounding your living conditions or family can spill out into other areas of life, including your personal plans. Building a solid foundation attacks problems from the root up. Avoid, if you can, situations that you know are frustrating, as your patience may be thin later today. It’s probably best to take the path of least resistance, or you could be prone to stress or even some minor mishaps. You might feel that others are unfairly criticizing you or examining what you have or haven’t done. However, friendships can bring in support and enjoyment. You are in a conciliatory mood with someone who’s proven themselves to you in the past.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

You can be in the mood for something non-routine or a little adventurous today, dear Capricorn, although it can be a little difficult to find ways to satisfy your wanderlust just for now. Scheduling anything can feel restrictive to you right now, as today you thrive more in a state of freeform. As well, it might seem that when you do decide on what and when to do something, you discover you can’t. Crossed wires can cause some minor problems today, whether it’s about missing an appointment, forgetting a plan with a friend, or simple misunderstandings due to poor communication. It can be especially difficult concentrating on mundane tasks today, as your mind tends to drift, and your heart is somewhere else altogether! Even so, there can be some progress with a matter related to career, a boss, or manager. Some deeper insights into a partnership can also emerge today if you tune in.

Aquarius

Aquarius

There can be some concerns about how committed a friend or partner is today, dear Aquarius, and you may be questioning motivations. However, from this minor conflict comes more insight into an important matter. Love matters can be intense but revealing now. This can also be a tricky day when things may not be as they appear. Worries about money or support can trouble you if you let your imagination rule the day, but you’re inclined to be seeing things either too negatively or too positively, and perhaps both extremes at different times today, but rarely as they truly are, so wait out important decision making. You can have some difficulty getting motivated to work independently or to do things for yourself. However, you can use this energy to help out others. Dreams can be rich and revealing. Sharing opinions and long-term goals with someone can be strengthening. Finding mutual interests may be an excellent way to smooth relationships over.

Pisces

Pisces

With the Moon moving your work sector and entering your partnership zone this morning, dear Pisces, your personal agenda can move to the back burner just for the time being as you focus on compromising and allowing others to shine. Helping out a partner, or simply listening more intently to their wishes and needs, is one key to success and fulfillment today. Your focus has been on outer success in recent weeks, and now is the time to give due attention to those who support you and who are dear to your heart. Even so, there can be some feelings of being pushed to the side. Recognize that you’re especially sensitive to the moods of people and the atmosphere around you, but consider that your understanding of these things may be quite off! In other words, you might be imagining that a partner or friend is feeling off-center when it’s actually you who is insecure right now. While there is definitely some hypersensitivity now, you also stand to learn a lot and bond closer to someone on an intimate level.
