What's up with Wednesday?

Whew! How the days go by. And the months, and the waxing and waning of the moon.

Recently, I've been thinking about Wednesdays. Seems to me it's getting a bad rap. More and more often I hear it referred to as 'hump' day. You know, that's not my experience at all. By Wednesday I'm really settling into the week and happy to be taking hold of my work, and my life in general for that matter.

Maybe that's because I'm a mercury person.

"Huh?" I hear you respond.

Well, according to astrology, Mercury is my ruling planet.

In the Latin languages, Wednesday is connected with the planet Mercury, as in mercoledi, and mercredi, for example. Mercury is an interesting influence, hard to catch hold of and many sided, but the one I like to deal with is that of communication. I interpret this as meaning it's a good day to communicate with others, whether it be face to face, phone-wise, web-wise or story-wise.

So, for a good day today, forget Woden the old Norse god and his warlike aspect (even if he's also connected with magic and poetry acc to Wiki). Rather go with Mercury. Move and communicate!
