Hooray it’s a new week! I’m so enthusiastic because that always means a fresh start and new opportunities. It’s strange that people are so excited with New Years and they fuss about Monday all the time, when it is the same thing: start anew. Today is an amazing gift, just like the other days. Will great things happen? It depends on us.
It’s time to choose calmness instead of tension. Life will not be a battle today, but a return to inner peace. Mondays, contrary to the belief, are made for feeling angelical, but you have to be willing to do the inner work. You have to strive to balance stress with serenity. Relax and have your hot cacao drink that always makes the day brighter. Or opt for a tender chamomile tea. Have you noticed how you always strive for greatness, without realizing how great life is?
Take a deep breath now and promise to enjoy this moment. Embrace this day with a positive mindset and let’s set the tone for the rest of the week. It is a new start, therefore it has to be magical and blessed. Great things are coming to you. Good morning, Monday!
Now let’s start to make our magical associations, because we are unusual.
The Day of the Moon
The name Monday is derived from the word Moon. Therefore, it belongs to Her, our Great Mother, which fills our hearts with abundant blessings and adorns the night sky. As She rules our emotional side, today’s a day dominated by feelings, when you should allow your emotions to thrive. It’s not action time, it’s time for rest and stability, and doing the things you love. Rest is essential, so please get a good night sleep. It’s a wonderful time for self-care. So, put down your thoughts, breathe mindfully or do a gratitude meditation, talk to your loved ones, delight in baked goodies, or grab a book. Process your emotions while journaling.
What to Wear?
Underline your femininity, but please wear something comfortable. Dress in silver, white, light blue, gray or purple. Monday is the day when I take out of the wardrobe my gray T-shirt with silver sequins – it’s the perfect wear, aligned with the energy of the Moon. But if you want to cleanse your aura, wear white. Purple, also lavender is the color of the practitioner, probably because it is linked to the third-eye chakra. So wear it if you want to doll up like a witch. Wear soft fabrics and pearlescent colors.
The Sign of Cancer rules Monday
The day is ruled by the sign of Cancer. When I hear Cancer, I think “family.” Therefore, your focus should be on home and comfort. It’s a great time to declutter your sacred space. Cancerians love their home, they are overly sensitive and moody, but if you are in a relationship with them, they will give you chance after chance. They feel things deeply and differently and that’s both a blessing and a curse. Cancer is the mother figure of the Zodiac. Just like the Moon, she shines in times of darkness.
Monday and Divination
If you want to meditate on a tarot card, that should be the Moon, the High Priestess, or the Chariot – all of them cards from the Major Arcana. The Moon card teaches you to trust your intuition and that’s essential today. It’s a great time for divination, so you might want to do a Tarot spread. It’s a time when perceptivity is at its peak. Today rely on your intuition a lot, let it guide you and advise you. It’s a benevolent day for shadow work as well, so ask yourself and journal about what causes you shame or guilt.
Stones and Scents of Monday
If you want to meditate holding a crystal – pick moonstone, aquamarine, pearl, opal, selenite, or silver quartz. Hold your crystal with intentions for honoring your emotions and gently listening to your needs. Open the terrace to let the freshness in. Let your room smell of jasmine essential oil, or sandalwood incense today. Jasmine is the oil to perfume your skin or anoint love letters with. Place some lavender drops in the water and cleanse the floor. Lavender has got purifying and protective qualities.
Monday’s Element
Mondays are ruled by the element of water. Make sure water is present in your day for it is the element of emotions, intuition, dreams, healing and the subconscious. It’s a wonderful time to reward yourself with a pampering bath. Add herbs like lavender or rose. Honor the feminine energy, nurture your inner Goddess and tend to your emotions.
Deities of Monday
If you want to meddle with deities, which I certainly don’t recommend – today give your attention to Selene and Artemis, both Greek goddesses of the Moon. Selene is famous as being very beautiful. She accepts offerings such as selenite, moonstone and blue topaz, white and purple flowers and flowers, which bloom at night. Her incense is myrtle and she rules over the willow tree. Artemis is a maiden goddess, ruler of the hunt. She is fiercely independent and loves spending time in nature. She can raise your inner strength, give you independence and protection. She accepts honey, nuts and fruits, cypress and she loves small statuettes of deer.
Merry Monday and a happy new week to you!
