Tuesday = Týr’s Day

Tuesday was named after the Germanic and Norse god, Týr. This god is directly connected to the Roman god, Mars.

Mars is the god of war. He embodies everything that is masculine. On Tuesdays, we should embrace our masculine energy, harness traits such as bravery and courage, and focus on taking action. It’s an ideal day for completing your to-do list, doing a vigorous workout, and making the most out of your physical stamina.

While war is a violent and tragic concept, it can also come with highly spiritual energy. What are you fighting for? What are you honoring, protecting, and defending? Going to war may be necessary in times of injustice.

After a slow and sluggish Monday, energy is picking up, and now you can focus on accomplishing more.
