Saturday is the only day of the week that retained its Roman origin in English. The Romans named Saturday Sāturni diēs ("Saturn's Day"). Saturn is the Roman of agriculture and harvest. Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn and was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere. Perhaps that’s appropriate for Saturday being the start of the weekend for relaxation, partying and rejoicing.
In Astrology, however, Saturn is associated with duty, responsibility, time, boundaries, work. The nursery rhyme states that “Saturday’s child works hard for his living”. It is the slowest visible planet in the solar system.
Being that this is the responsible day of the week, it may be a good day to evaluate your actions of the past week. When life does not go your way, take responsibility for it.
Happy Saturday!
