TRUE ASTROLOGY OF TUESDAYS FULL
However, a bill was introduced in 2012 to move elections to weekends, with a co-sponsor stating that "by moving Election Day from a single day in the middle of the workweek to a full weekend, we are encouraging more working Americans to participate. Tuesday was the earliest day of the week which was practical for polling in the early 19th century: citizens might have to travel for a whole day to cast their vote, and would not wish to leave on Sunday which was a day of worship for the great majority of them. Federal elections take place on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November this date was established by a law of 1845 for presidential elections (specifically for the selection of the Electoral College), and was extended to elections for the House of Representatives in 1875 and for the Senate in 1914.
Tuesday is the usual day for elections in the United States. When added after the word يوم ( yom or youm) it means "the third day". In Arabic, Tuesday is الثلاثاء ( al-Thulatha'), meaning "the third". In the Nahuatl language, Tuesday is Huītzilōpōchtōnal ( Nahuatl pronunciation: ) meaning "day of Huitzilopochtli". In the Indo-Aryan languages Pali and Sanskrit the name of the day is taken from Angaraka ('one who is red in colour'), a style (manner of address) for Mangala, the god of war, and for Mars, the red planet. Similarly, in Korean the word Tuesday is 화요일 ( hwa yo il), also meaning Mars day.
In Japanese, the second day of the week is 火曜日 ( kayōbi), from 火星 ( kasei), the planet Mars. Bulgarian and Russian Вторник ( Vtornik) ( Serbian: уторак utorak) is derived from the Bulgarian and Russian adjective for 'second' - Втори ( Vtori) or Второй ( Vtoroi). In some Slavic languages the word Tuesday originated from Old Church Slavonic word въторъ meaning "the second". In most languages with Latin origins ( Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, Romanian, Galician, Sardinian, Corsican, but not Portuguese), the day is named after Mars, the Ancient Greek Ares ( Ἄρης). The Latin name dies Martis ("day of Mars") is equivalent to the Greek ἡμέρα Ἄρεως ( hēméra Áreōs, "day of Ares"). The German Dienstag and Dutch dinsdag are derived from the Germanic custom of the thing, as Tiw/ Týr also had a strong connection to the thing. *Tîwaz derives from the Proto-Indo-European base *dei-, *deyā-, *dīdyā-, meaning 'to shine', whence comes also such words as " deity". Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god *Tîwaz, or Týr in Old Norse. The name Tuesday derives from the Old English Tiwesdæg and literally means "Tiw's Day".
