Days of the Week

The wise ancient prophets saw that each day of the week is energetically connected to one of the seven observable planets. They recommended certain activities and behavior that corresponded to the influences of the day. This increased the chances of success and harmonious completion. Depending which day of the week you were born on, you embodied its specific planetary qualities.

According to ancient tradition, the day starts with the sunrise and continues till the next one, it does not change at midnight as we are used to calculating it. So if it says on your birth certificate that you were born on Saturday at 4 am, then you should consider yourself a Friday baby, unless the sun has risen already.

Monday— the Moon (Mother goddess)



Monday is a restless and changeable day. Emotions and whims increase, dreaminess and romantic moods manifest more powerfully. Our imagination is stimulated so it can be a good day for some writers. The Moon in astrology symbolizes the female principle, therefore Monday rules and protects all women. It is considered that girls born on Monday become really good wives and mothers, great family nurturers. Sensitivity is a common trait for people born then but even if they are impressionable and emotional, they compensate with very developed imagination and rich inner world. Monday is a bit emotional and nervous day, but it is great for getting all kinds of house work done. Spending time with your close family and trusted ones where you can let your guard down and be as emotional as you want is advised. Traveling by land is considered unwise as the person can meet a lot of minor frustrations but as the Moon rules water, all aquatic journeys will fare well. Tuesday—Mars (god of war)



Tuesday is considered an active day with a sharp, explosive character. Warrior, heroes, knights and military people were born on this day. In the past they regarded it as a very tough day. It is observed that this is the time wars and military coups are started. This is a day for initiating action, fighting, drastic changes, and brave endeavors.
