Tuesday is ruled by the planet Mars, it's a day to awaken your passion to excel and to develop the courage required for this. It's also a time to do rituals and activities to let go of anything in your life that just doesn't serve you anymore.  This is also the day of expressiong sexual energy, which is very much connected with your individuality and creativity.  It's about breaking through mental blocks and various obstacles that might keep you from being the amazing and creative individual that you are!  Is something holding you back...use the energy of Tuesday to boost your confidence, enhance your courage and strengthen your resolve so that you can overcome fear and/or the unjust.  Basically this is a good day to get in touch with your warrior spirit.  Time to kick some butt!  Seriously!

Tarot: Five of Wands is the card I refer to as the "Are you talking to me card!" because it's about healthy challenge and finding our voice.  Six of Wands because it's the ultimate victory card.  And last but not least....the Strength Card is my personal favorite.  You are sure to see her on my altar on Tuesdays.  One of my Tarot decks has a picture of Lilith as the maiden on the Strength card...even better!  I also like the Strength card from the Thoth deck, which Crowley named Lust.

Saturday!

The Illuminated Tarot by Carol Herzer

Saturday's planet is Saturn and is a day where you can be empowered to release fear, pain, resentment, negativity and illness. Today you can heal yourself by tapping into your darkest feelings and unleash them as a purging experience.

Annointing Oil: Camphor, Sandalwood, Frankincence, Clary Sage and Myrrh

Herbal Tea: Angelica (a pleasant tasting tea that heals and protects).

Lemon and Garlic are both good to clear negativity and/or illness.

Incense: Sandalwood, Frankincense, Myrrh and Sage

Tarot Card: The World (The Universe) is my favorite but there are others that work well on Saturday such as the Hermit, Death, Temperance, Knight of Swords, Ace of Swords and Four of Swords.

The Universe Card signifies the "Administrative Intelligence". It's planet is Saturn and so it's day is Saturday. Meditating on this key is good for: Karmic completion, becoming conscious of your limiations and thus freeing yourself to maximize your own potential, manifesting spirit on earth, infinte potential, uniting the four elements within you, dance. It is an antidote for delayed promotion or success, lacking the whole picture and mild frustration.

Affirmations:

"The Universe abundantly provides for all my needs"

or

"Today I cast out all my woes.
Resentment and pain or free to go.
No malice or punishment shall be given,
All who wronged me now forgiven."
