Thursday

Thursday is Juno’s day with the color green. Juno is the great organizer of society, and she rules city hall, courthouses, lawyer’s offices, and banks where you may even find a likeness of her on a public building. She deserves a rightful place alongside Thor and Jupiter in Thursday’s lore of money and power. It is probably no accident that there is an e-mail provider called Juno, as she works well with technology issues, as you think them too.

You may choose to call upon Juno if you have legal, civic, or banking issues to deal with today, or if your computer is acting up. Try wearing a mix of patchouli oil with a not-too-sweet feminine scent like neroli, lavender, or melissa. Wear royal purple or orange, the color of intellect. Season food with a bay leaf to release the power of bay laurel. Imagine Juno as your protector as you conduct your business. - DENISE DUMARS (Llewellyn, June 28, 2001)

Juno presides over marriage, hence the popularity of June weddings. Her other areas of influence are women and leadership. Her stones include pearl and moonstone. Honor Juno with an esbat celebrating leadership, especially female leaders. Decorate the altar in royal purple, with pictures of queens and goddesses. Add a rod, scepter, crown, or other symbol of power. Read this invocation:

"Hail Juno, queen of the gods!
Your might holds up the heavens;
Your grace shines down upon the Earth.
Bless me, that I might see your face
In the face of every woman I meet
And show them respect in your honor.
Hear me as I give thanks
To those who have guided me.
Fix my computer for me if it needs
fixing."

You men can talk about the strong women you’ve known in your life. You women can do the same; you may also acknowledge your own strength. When you are through, thank Juno and close your ritual. If possible, find time today to do a favor for a woman in a leadership position or send a thank-you card to one who has helped you in the past. - ELIZABETH BARRETT (Lewellyn, June 26, 2010)
