Good
morning <$firstname$>,
Would
you like to know what activities work out best for you on
certain days of the week?
Surely
you have
noticed that on some days of the week, certain endeavours
seem to work out better than on other days. You probably
never told anyone about your suspicions, but this is not
weird at all - in fact this phenomenon has been known for
thousands of years.
I
call it "The Quality of Time" and most of us have
largely forgotten about it - we know the other aspect, the
"Quantity of Time" much better, mainly because
we think that we never have enough of it. It would go too
far to explain the whole background here, but I wrote a
chapter about it in my eBook "The REAL Facts of Life".
What
I am telling you is that each day of the week definitely
has a certain unique quality to it, and is even named for
this quality, although we don't always see the correlation
in modern-day English. The Greeks and ancient Romans assigned
the same characteristics to the planets of our solar system.
How
does this knowledge benefit us in the 21st century? Simply,
some days are more conducive to certain activities than
others - find out below why you should schedule important
meetings for Wednesdays if you can, be careful at parties
on Thursdays and why things often don't go your way on Saturdays.
I have consciously applied this "Quality of the Day"
- system for a long time. The days of the week are marked
accordingly on my calendar in the computer and I plan conducive
activities whenever I can.
Monday
: Emotion
Monday is easily recognizable as Moon-day. As the ruler
of the tides, the moon represents our emotions which have
long been portrayed in terms of the sea. Do still waters
run deep? Are you making waves? Mood-swings, instinct, how
we feel about things and the way our feelings affect others
are all highlighted on Mondays. They also help us see intuitively
what we wish for in life. We are up and down, naughty or
nice, laugh or cry - moods change as swiftly as the moon
circles our planet.
Tuesday
: Action
Mars (French 'Mardi') was the Roman god of war, and the
Red Planet can be fiery and violent, daring and fearless.
This energy wants the powerful and confident expression
of the individual. Passion, determination, ambition, competition,
achievement, courage, honour, stamina, accidents - Tuesdays
forcefully command you to stand up, be noticed and get things
done in an either constructive or destructive way.
Wednesday
: Communication
Wednesday is 'Mercredi' in French. Mercury was the Roman
god of trade, commerce and profit - and the winged messenger
from the gods. Whether the news was good or bad, he needed
a quick wit, think logically on the run and weigh possibilities
after hearing opinions and reasons. Rationalize and communicate,
perceive, speak up, negotiate and get answers - our intellect,
awareness and logic is needed here. Move from one thing
to the next in short trips - Wednesdays prompt us to express
ourselves often and well. Visiting neighbours, the workday
commute and a weekend getaway are all in Mercury's realm,
as well as writing, books, eMail and learning.
Thursday
: Growth
In German mythology, Thor was the red-haired and bearded
god of thunder, much like Jupiter in Roman times. His lightning
bolts remind us of his supreme power, but besides being
judge and jury he was mostly a kind and benevolent helper
to keep mankind on the right path. Thursdays lord over ideology
and philosophy and compel us to assess our ethical and moral
values. Everything about Jupiter is larger than life. Grand
ideas, luck and great fortune are associated with Thursdays
who want us to grow and flourish. Optimism, success, accomplishments
and prosperity symbolize this magnanimous energy - but we
easily tend to overdo things on Thursdays : work too long,
party too much, even spend too much time on going the extra
mile.
Friday
: Pleasure
Venus, or Freya, is the symbol of beauty, love, romance,
harmony and pleasure for us. Socializing and relating to
others in friendship, marriage and business partnership
is important today. Fridays invite us to indulge our senses
in aesthetic circumstances like the arts and seek the beauty
of our world, teaching us to appreciate others and the things
we possess. We take an interest in luxuries, good food and
drink, a beautiful home and generally in spreading happiness
through refinement, culture, charm and grace. A good day
to be attractive and attract others by rewarding them, and
yourself.
Saturday
: Discipline
Saturn was the god of time, and he didn't make things easy.
The big teacher demands discipline and responsibility in
learning life's lessons and wants us to work hard at managing
them. Limitations, delays and restrictions play a big role
on Saturdays - is there enough time to do everything we
want to do? The majesty of older age also brings with it
a sense of tradition, conventionality and wisdom - it challenges
habits that have stood the test of time. Structure, experience
and authority are important concerns on Saturdays, and perseverance
is applauded.
Sunday
: Your-Self
The sun is the centre of our world, its energy is forceful
and gives us light and life. Everything revolves around
it and therefore it represents the Self, as well as our
personality, ego, spirit and everything that makes us unique
as individuals. Our true identity and our face to the world
both speak of creativity, the will to manifest our ideas
and the strength to successfully meet our challenges in
life. Our sense of health and well-being is closest to us
on Sundays, so do what you really feel like doing.
Try
it out, you'll be surprised how well it works!
Until
next time, all the best from :
