A holistic astrologer shares the secret to being in the right place at the right time. [View this email in your browser]( Planetary days and hours are the secret to being at the right place at the right time. They have been used for centuries in many cultures to determine the most auspicious times for performing specific tasks, such as casting spells, performing rituals, or even planting crops. These planetary hours and days are based on the ancient astrological concept that each day is ruled by one of the seven traditional planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Planetary days and hours, like [moon cycles]( are beautiful ways to benefit from the cosmic tides of the Universe. This guide will explore how to use planetary days and hours to bring more abundance into your life. What Are Planetary Days? Planetary days and hours have been used for centuries, from herbalists deciding how to strengthen their decoctionsâ influence to alchemists looking for portals to maximize the effects of a specific planet and energy. In our modern world, planetary days and hours are essential to understand and integrate to assist our spiritual practice, but more importantly, our practical day-to-day actions. Using [astrology]( planetary days and hours is also an ally if youâre seeking ways to manifest more easily, and add more abundance to your life. Each day of the week is âruledâ by a God associated with one of the seven classical planets. For example, Monday (a.k.a. âMoon Dayâ) was when rituals dedicated to Selene or Diana were most performed in Ancient Greece. Planetary days of the week: - Sunday: ruled by the Sun
- Monday: ruled by the Moon
- Tuesday: ruled by Mars
- Wednesday: ruled by Mercury
- Thursday: ruled by Jupiter
- Friday: ruled by Venus
- Saturday: ruled by Saturn What Are Planetary Hours? Each planetary day is divided into 24 equal parts, lasting approximately one hour. These hours are named after the planets, in order, and follow the sequence of the planetary days. Itâs also important to note that planetary hours are not necessarily made of sixty minutes because of the diurnal and nocturnal time difference. The only days where the hour is made of sixty minutes would be around the Vernal equinoxes (around March 21 and September 22) because the length of the day is precisely the same as that of the night. To calculate the planetary hour of the day, you need to determine the time of sunrise and sunset for your location, and then divide the time between sunrise and sunset into 12 equal parts. The first hour after sunrise is always ruled by the planet that rules the day of the week. For example, the first hour after sunrise will be ruled by the Moon if it is Monday. Planetary Meanings in Astrology Planetary days and hours help you determine the general energy and âvibeâ of specific days and hours and give you insight when planning important life events. In a nutshell: the planet that rules over the day or hour will âinfuseâ its qualities and characteristics into it. However, we all have different relationships with the planets (depending on our birth chart), so itâs good to experiment on your own through observation, meditation, and comparison. For example, although it is common to assume that Venus Day and Hour are great for romance, your relationship with Venus could be troublesomeâleading you to become lazy, idealistic, or naive during these times. So maybe Mercury or the Moon could be more beneficial to you for all matters related to love and romance. Trust your intuition and experiment with how you genuinely feel during each planetary day or hour. Like any other technique, planetary timing has its limits. Still, it holds a great advantage to anyone curious to learn its basic principles: planets and their correspondences. In astrology, the planets are thought to have specific meanings and influences on different areas of our lives. There are ten planets in astrology, including the Sun and the Moon, which are considered planets in astrology. Each planet is associated with certain qualities and characteristics. Their placements in a birth chart can provide insights into a personâs personality, relationships, and life events. Once you familiarize yourself with the meaning of these planets, timing your day-to-day activities to match the cosmic dance of the Universe will be like second nature. In astrology, every planet represents an aspect of our life, psyche, and personality. Here is an overview of the meanings of each planet in astrology: Sun Hour / Day: The Sun symbolizes our inner self and the core essence of who we are: our individuality, identity, and creativity. The Sun also describes what is likely to motivate us and why. This time frameâon top of oneâs natal planetary day and hourâfeels the most natural to many people. This is a very comfortable time to be yourself, have access to your light, and radiate it around you genuinely and authentically. But beware of the ego trip that could happen during these times. - Focusing on your identity
- Growing your self-confidence
- Promoting yourself
- Giving public presentations
- Sharing your story with others
- Career advancement
- Talking to authority figures Moon Hour / Day: The Moon rules over our emotions, moods, and what makes us feel secure. While the Sun represents the energy we strive towards, the Moon best describes our already possessed energy. Most evident in our homes or in private (think of yourself behind closed doors, in your PJs), the Moon represents our innermost needs, our family and mother figure. Since the Moon constantly shifts, remember anything you start during this timeframe will be temporary and prone to change. - Focusing on sharpening your intuition
- Taking care of your emotional needs
- Increasing your psychic abilities (through [oracle cards]( or lunar circles as an example)
- Cooking and taking care of home-related chores or issues
- Taking care of children and babies
- [Connecting]( with other women
- Deepening your relationship with your [womb]( and [menstrual cycle]( Understanding Astrological Timing If youâre starting astrological timing, it may take a while to understand which combination of planetary influences is best for your intentions. For example, a Mars-ruled Day combined with a Solar Hour could be what you need to finally finish that project youâve been slacking off. Or, suppose youâve been having trouble changing a habit; maybe using the Day of Saturn and a Venus Hour could help you find that balance between discipline and indulgence. Keep track of your progress with a journal, and experiment by combining planetary influences. Astrological timing is a great manifestation tool to help you quickly move through life. Primarily used in Electional Astrology (âelectâ as in âto chooseâ the best auspicious time for a specific outcome), astrological timing is sometimes dismissed by modern practitioners for various reasons. Some say that astrological timing is binding or limiting as thereâs no such thing as âthe best time.â I believe the best time to act on our dreams and âhunchesâ is right now! However, in an ocean, a boat will move much faster and with less resistance if the navigator follows certain currents and wind directions. This means certain âtimesâ can be more optimistic and welcoming to our intentions than others. Itâs only a matter of finding them and utilizing them. But, of course, we must aim not to get ourselves lost in this techniqueâs meanders, twists, and turns. Perfection doesnât exist, and action will always be far more beneficial, even if itâs imperfect.
