Which Day Will Tell Your Child’s Fortune?

However, this nursery rhyme can carry a deeper meaning, and even have planetary correspondence. For those who believe in astrology, Monday equals the Moon, Tuesday equals Mars, Wednesday equals mercury, Thursday equals Jupiter, Friday equals Venus, Saturday equals Saturn and Sunday equals the sun.

 

Planetary characteristics

 

And for each of these planets, there are personality characteristics tied to each of them which your baby may take on. For the Moon, moods and emotions reign supreme. For Tuesday/Mars, aggression and achievement are characteristics.  strategy and purpose are characteristics of Wednesday/mercury and for Thursday/Jupiter, the characteristics are power and expansion. Friday/Venus equal love and beauty, Saturday/Saturn signifies suspension and prevention and Sunday/Sun brings out expression and confidence.
