Planetary Days Magic (Monday = Moon, Tuesday = Mars…)

Planetary Days Magic: Timing Your Spells with the Days of the Week

You want to know the best day to do your love spell, money magic, or protection ritual. You've heard that timing matters in magic, but you're not sure how to use the days of the week for optimal results. Each day of the week is ruled by a different planet, and understanding planetary day magic allows you to align your spells with the most supportive cosmic energy. By doing the right magic on the right day, you amplify your results and work with the universe instead of against it.

Planetary days magic is the ancient practice of aligning your magical work with the planetary ruler of each day. Monday is ruled by the Moon, Tuesday by Mars, Wednesday by Mercury, Thursday by Jupiter, Friday by Venus, Saturday by Saturn, and Sunday by the Sun. Each planet brings specific energy that enhances certain types of magic. By timing your spells according to planetary days, you tap into amplified cosmic support and create more powerful, effective magic.

This complete guide will teach you which planet rules each day, what magic works best on each day, provide specific spells and rituals for each planetary day, and help you create a weekly magical practice aligned with cosmic timing.

FAQs About Planetary Days

What if I need to do magic on the "wrong" day?

Do it anyway! Timing enhances magic but isn't required. Urgent magic doesn't wait for the perfect day.

Can I do multiple types of magic on one day?

Yes! You can do any magic any day. Planetary days just show optimal timing.

What if planetary day conflicts with Moon phase?

Combine them! Both matter. Use planetary day for type of magic, Moon phase for building/releasing energy.

Do I need to do magic every day?

No. Use planetary days as a guide when you do magic, not a requirement to do magic daily.

Which is more important: planetary day or hour?

Day is easier and still powerful. Planetary hours add extra precision but aren't necessary for effective magic.
