The Weekend and Venus

Friday is ruled by Venus. Energies include love, of course, along with beauty, prosperity and friendship.

Saturday is ruled by Saturn. Energies include removing obstacles, magical cleaning, and addressing issues or problems.

Sunday is ruled by the sun and energies include authority, success, and goal achievement.

Foods ruled by Venus:
alfalfa sprouts, apples, apricots, cherries, guavas, licorice, nectarines, oats, peas, peaches, pears, avocados, barley, blackberries, persimmons, plums, raspberries, rhubarb, rye, spirulina, strawberries, Brazil nuts, cardamom, carob, sugar, sweet potatoes, thyme, tomatoes, truffles, vanilla and wheat.

Make a strawberry smoothie with some spirulina for love and good health. Share with your love.

To attract love, carve a heart into an apple. As you eat it, visualize yourself in a loving relationship.

Make a fruit salad using whatever is in season.

Bake a cherry pie for love and beauty. Offer some to Venus.

Notice that a lot of these foods are good for hair and skin. They promote beauty on the inside and the outside!

Ah, Sunday

I'm off tomorrow too! As most of the population of this country is Muslim, our holiday calendar is a bit different. We've been off since Thursday for Kurban Bayram, the sacrifice holiday. Today I gave my kitchen a thorough scrubbing and burned some rosemary for extra cleansing. Now I'm drinking some Turkish coffee (I'm still trying to prepare it just right. I'm getting better!). I think I will make a leek and onion quiche for dinner.

It rained earlier today but now the sun is out and the sky is a light blue, decorated with a few scruffy clouds. I'm sitting my apartment listening to the 100 greatest hits of 1986 and enjoying the hum of the dryer.

The leek and onion quiche is today's protective magic recipe. Leeks and onions are both ruled by Mars and their element is fire, making them excellent protective foods. They may not be ruled by the Sun, but fire-ruled ingredients will make a nice dish for Sun-day.
