Days of the Week to Trade
Using Astrology to trade to your strengths
Hey guys, I wanted to share with you a bit about the days of the week. First of all, based on your birthday, your days of the week will be a bit different than other birthdays. For example, the day you were born is your Mercury Day. The next day after Mercury is your Venus Day. After that you have a Mars day. Next is your Jupiter Day, then Saturn, then Uranus, then Neptune, and back to Mercury. So, if you were born on a Saturday, your Mercury day would be Saturday. Your Sunday would be your Venus Day, and so forth as documented below:
Saturday (Day you were born) = Mercury
Sunday = Venus
Monday = Mars
Tuesday = Jupiter
Wednesday = Saturn
Thursday = Uranus
Friday = Neptune
A second example, if you were born on a Tuesday, your days of the week would be as follows:
Tuesday = Mercury
Wednesday = Venus
Thursday = Mars
Friday = Jupiter
Saturday = Saturn
Sunday = Uranus
Monday = Neptune
What does this all mean for you?
Mercury rules communication, the mind, thinking, transportation, it is a quick planet. We may overthink on these days.
Venus is a loving influence, rules the feminine, sometimes we get lazy or indulge too much on these days.
Mars rules passion, aggressive masculine energy, war, combat. We may be too aggressive on these days
Jupiter is a planet of expansion, especially for business and finances. This is usually a blessed day.
Saturn teaches us our lessons, it is a restrictive and cold planet, if we are successful these days we must work hard for it.
Uranus is an inconsistent influence, we can not rely on things to go as planned on these days. That makes strategies or goals tricky to meet.
Neptune may not let us see things clearly. Being in Neptune is sometimes like looking at the world through drunk goggles or rose colored glasses.
I take the days of the week into account when trading
I have found through my years of trading that I do best on Mondays and Tuesdays. Monday is my Mars day and Tuesday is my Jupiter day. I have had some success on Wednesdays, which is my Saturn day, but I have had to dig out large holes and fight for everything. Remember Saturn teaches you lessons. It is also the planet of Karma, it will not let you get away with bad habits. I am extra careful and size down on Wednesdays. Thursdays seem to bring very unreliable results. Being that it is my Uranus day, I can not count on any one approach to do well for me. Uranus is very unpredictable and things often times won’t go as planned. Friday is my Neptune day and one must be very careful in Neptune as we do not see very clearly. Neptune rules our hopes and dreams and there is a filter that may be blocking our reality. That is important to know especially if you are entering a trade with conviction, as you might not be seeing the entire picture.
General Trading Rules for the days of the week
Monday: Ease into the week here on Mondays. Most of Wall Street is not entering trades until Tuesday morning anyways. Mondays should be sized down, about half the size you’d normally trade. So if you trade 4 lots, cut that in half. Mondays typically tend to have one big move at the open at 9:30am EST and then volatility dries up until 3 or 3:30pm. Mondays are great for studying the market. Mondays are typically range days or very slow trend days.
Tuesday: Wall Street seems to show up for the bond markets around 8amish on Tuesdays. You can look for the bonds (ZB or ZN) to be at support or resistance around this time and make an entry for a swing trade for the week or next few weeks. Tuesday at 10am we start to see what Wallstreet is waking up. This is an important time frame. Tuesday often times is a trend day. We want to look at the 10am-1015am EST candle to see what the trend of the week may be.
Wednesday: We might see a test from Tuesday’s support or resistance or we may be able to join a trend that started on Tuesday. Wednesdays can be trend days. This is generally a high volume trading day and good for day trading.
Thursday: This is also a trend day, possibly the last day to join a trend that started on Tuesday.
Friday: You may want to close up your trades from the week. Also, Friday is much like Monday, it can be a range day or a very slow trend day. Most of Wall Street is closing out positions or getting protection for the weekend, so you will not miss much if you don’t trade Friday. It is a good study day. Any support or resistance we visit on a Monday or a Friday tends to be re-visited on a Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursday. So do not fret if you miss an entry on a Monday or Friday.
Putting it all together
For me, I trade half size on Mondays since Mondays are my Mars Day. I just make sure not to be too aggressive and not to get too combative with the market. If it feels like war, I am playing too much into my Mars day and will stop.
I trade more heavily on Tuesdays as it is my Jupiter day and it really is the start of the week from a technical perspective for Wall Street. This is a great day for me usually and I devote all day to the markets. Jupiter expands you financially and in business and I make sure that I take my time but also take advantage of the spiritual blessings being given to me, especially if my cards are solid for that day (more on that later).
Wednesday I will trade a high probability setup, but I will still size down as it is my Saturn Day. That is too bad because Wednesday sees some great Volatility with the fed speakers, financial reports, fed minutes, etc. But I am not going to fight my Saturn Day. If I happen to have a King or 10 in my Saturn day (yes, you get a card for each day as well), I may take that into consideration for more trading than usual.
Thursdays I will start to scope out opportunities for the next week as well as play one or two trades as long as I have profit from earlier in the week. It is my Uranus day so the unexpected can happen and things may not go as planned.
Friday is my Neptune day and a day that seems dreamlike to me. I may enter an early morning trade, but it all depends on the setup. Keep in mind since Friday is usually a range day, we can take action at supports or resistances, but nothing in-between. Volume is usually lower, and therefore the market is less technical. It’s not worth going into the weekend on a down note.
Go through your days of the week and start to take note of how your day goes, how your work is going. Is it easy? Are you flowing? Or are you running uphill, or swimming against the current?
