The Ancient Week
The seven-day week is one of humanity's oldest timekeeping systems, rooted in Babylonian astrology and codified by the Hellenistic Greeks. Each day was assigned to one of the seven "classical planets" — the celestial bodies visible to the naked eye: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.
The names survive in modern languages — Sunday (Sun), Monday (Moon), Saturday (Saturn), and in Romance languages: mardi (Mars), mercredi (Mercury), jeudi (Jupiter), vendredi (Venus). Working with the planetary day means aligning your activities with the ruling planet's natural current.
