Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay."
Sadly , I'm a Wednesday.

(10,885 posts)Unless one considers having to work hard for a living as a negative...?
I was always bummed about having the sad day.

(14,040 posts)there's a Mother's Day, but no Kid's Day.
She smiled and told me, "every day is Kid's Day." She was the best a guy could hope for!

According to astrology, people born on Sunday are lucky ducks. Their ruling star is the Sun, which typically means they'll be bright, creative, bold, and loud. Sundays are also the start of the week, suggesting those born on them will be natural leaders. And, of course, if you're using the nursery rhyme as your guiding light, Sunday's babies are a cheery bunch, indeed.
Monday
Monday is ruled by the Moon, which according to astrology, is a maternal entity rooted in dedication to kindness and family. In that vein, people born on Mondays are motherly, sensitive, adaptive, and kind though the nursery rhyme suggests Monday babies are physically attractive, too. Believe what you wish.
Tuesday
In Greek and Roman mythology, Mars (or Ares) is the War God, and so, people born on Tuesdays come with a fiery, fighting spirit. These folks are brave, impatient, energetic, active, and driven to succeed, sometimes to a fault. Or, as the nursery rhyme goes, they're "full of grace." The rhyme may be a tad reductive, come to think of it.
Wednesday
Mercury is the god of finance, travel, and communication you may remember his Greek counterpart, Hermes, as the sneaker-and-sunglasses-wearing god from the Disney movie Hercules and so it stands that Wednesday's children are very communicative. They're also versatile, and a bit careless, though so are the best of us. According to the nursery rhyme, they're also very melancholy, but really, that rhyme means nothing.
Thursday
The thur in Thursday is actually derived from the Norse god Thor, who you may recall from the Marvel Avengers series. Unfortunately, people born on Thursdays do not automatically get to resemble Chris Hemsworth, but they do take on many of Thor (or Jupiter, in the Roman)'s personality traits. Thor/Jupiter is optimistic, genial, and generally a fun god to be around, which means Thursday's babies get to be the life of the party. Of course, the nursery rhyme claims Thursday's child has "far to go," which, I mean, what the heck, rhyme?
Friday
My day! Friday is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, balance, beauty, romance, elegance, and pleasure. Yippee! Lucky Friday babies like me are social animals, artistic, and obsessed with beauty and love, though we can also be downright narcissists, which, fair.
Saturday
Finally, Saturday's children come courtesy of Saturn, the god of wealth, freedom, and agriculture (gods had a lot of duties in Roman times). Tragically, this does not mean that Saturday babies will grow up to be rich, but they will be modest, studious, wise, practical, and strict. Fun!
