Every day of the week has it’s own magic and energy you can harness to influence your life and magical practices and in this blog series we are going to talk about them all. Next up, we are going to talk about the energy and magic you can align with on Monday. For many Monday is the first day of their work week, and a day they dread feeling they are forced back into being productive. But, Monday is one of my favorite days when it comes to energy and magic we can align with, as it’s the day we really have the ability to go deep within ourselves and connect to our emotions, intuition, and psyche.
Monday is ruled by the moon
For pagans and witches, every single day of the week is ruled by a planet and Monday is ruled by the moon.The powers of the moon are vast and varied across cultures and the earth. They range from being used for healing, love, prosperity, protection, fertility, death, rebirth, and more. This connection makes it the perfect day to connect to our intuition, our emotions, and our psyche.
With this day being connected to the moon it is also deeply connected to your divine feminine energy in most cultures and practices. Which makes it a great day to perform spells and workings associated with the divine feminine including shadow work and womb healing. Monday is also connected to the many lunar deities across the earth, cultures, and times. Some deities you can work with to connect to the magic of Monday and the Moon are ;Thoth, the man on the moon, Sin and more. You also have many goddesses you can work with today as well like; Selene, Artemis, Diana, La Luna and more.
Magic and Witchcraft themes
When it comes to magic and witchcraft you can certainly cast spells whenever you need them. But, if you want a little extra oomph, and when you want to amplify your results, aligning your spell casting with the correct day of the week is one way to do that. Monday is the best day to perform magic that has to do with your dreams, emotional healing, fertility, spirit work, enhancing your intuition, nurturing, matters of the home and family, and cleansing. Some of the most potent spell workings to do today are; performing an emotional healing spell to achieve emotional balance and inner peace. Enhance your intuition by focusing on receiving insights and guidance from your guides. Develop your psychic abilities with spells aimed at expanding and sharpening your psychic senses. Perform cleansing spells to remove negativity, and dream recall spells to help make dreams vivid and memorable.

Work with and balance your Sacral chakra
Your sacral chakra is the wheel of energy located between your navel and coccyx. It spins in the area of your reproductive organs and is the color orange. The sacral chakra represents sexual health and creativity. When it’s unblocked, you express your sexuality in a healthy way AND creativity flows into all aspects of your life. The Swadhisthana, or sacral chakra, helps inform how we relate to our emotions and the emotions of others. It also governs creativity and sexual energy. Those with a blocked sacral chakra could feel a lack of control in their lives. Below are some ideas on how you can balance your sacral chakra today.
