My planner is based in large part on the lunar days found in the Hygromanteia. This is one of the earliest grimoires and instead of elaborate spirit lists, it focuses more on detailed timing. I love the lunar days and find them very accurate for enchantment. It’s like the next level of detail above just “waxing moon for attraction/expansion and waning moon for banishing/contraction.”
However there are some interesting quirks to the lunar days. First, there are TONS of days for love, probably reflecting people’s interest throughout history in getting laid. Over time, I’ve looked at how some of these days can be leveraged for self-love or wider community love or friendship, etc. But there’s only ONE day every month for healing and so I suggest leaning into that day wherever possible.
Next week on Wednesday is that day, and it’s a great one for all kinds of healing and health magic. First, the Moon is in Gemini on Mercury’s day, giving a boost to a direct Mercury. Second, the Sun is in Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, and Jupiter is conjoined Venus. Combining the two benefics is lovely, especially Venus is in detriment in Aries. This conjunction gives her a boost. It’s a nice day for all kinds of health and healing magic and activities. For example:
Enchant household objects you use frequently to bring health to your household (your pots and pans, your favorite tea mug, your wooden spoons.
Bless herbs, teas, supplements — even medicines — you take for an additional boost of healthy and healing.
Take a healing bath or shower or weather permitting, jump into a body of natural water.
Focus your healing on your house (do minor repairs, clean and smoke, hang protective charms).
Kick off a new habit to improve your general good health (take a walk, eat a salad, go to bed early — the usual suspects).
You’ll want to enchant these activities wherever possible, but having a mundane activity or target really helps land the magic in your life.
There are a couple of other nice days this week, check out the planner if you want to know more.
