Learn practices to harness the energy of each day in the Deepen Your Practice workshop at https://www.quietmind.yoga/deepen

Each day of the week carries its own frequency, a specific planetary energy that’s been woven into our language and daily lives for thousands of years, yet most people never realize it.

In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I’ll show you how to harness the grahas (planets) through the simple rhythm of the week; from the Sun’s vitality on Sunday to Saturn’s discipline on Saturday, and how these ancient cycles can guide your routines, mindset, and spiritual practice.

The names of the days themselves reveal the secret:

Sunday for the Sun

Monday for the Moon (Lunas in Spanish)

Tuesday for Mars (Martes)

Wednesday for Mercury

Thursday for Jupiter (Jueves)

Friday for Venus (Viernes)

Saturday for Saturn (Sábado).

These aren’t coincidences, they’re remnants of a system that once consciously aligned human life with cosmic time.

When you understand this cycle, you can begin to plan your week with intention. Need to strengthen discipline and structure? Work with Saturn on Saturdays: wear dark blue or black, volunteer, fast, or spend time with elders. Feeling the need to reconnect with your spiritual path? Sunday, ruled by the Sun, is your day to center, honor your vitality, and reconnect with your higher purpose.

Each graha has a natural day, color, and practice that helps bring its energy into balance:

- Sunday (Sun / Surya): vitality, confidence, self-realization, leadership. Practice sun salutations, gratitude, and spiritual reflection. Wear orange or gold.

- Monday (Moon / Chandra): emotions, nurturing, peace. Practice restorative yoga, gentle movement, and care for your home. Wear white or silver.

- Tuesday (Mars / Mangala): strength, courage, action. Engage in exercise, assertive communication, or productive work. Wear red.

- Wednesday (Mercury / Budha): communication, learning, adaptability. Great for writing, meetings, and kirtan. Wear green.

- Thursday (Jupiter / Guru): wisdom, faith, purpose. Study, journal, or learn from a teacher. Wear yellow.

- Friday (Venus / Shukra): love, beauty, relationships. Enjoy music, art, romance, and the senses. Wear pink or variegated colors.

- Saturday (Saturn / Shani): discipline, service, patience. Do chores, volunteer, fast, or spend time with elders. Wear blue or black.

You’ll also learn how the hour of the day, called the hora, repeats this planetary pattern every 24 hours, meaning every hour holds a different energetic quality. And you’ll discover how your own birth day of the week reflects your inherent tendencies. For example, being born on a Tuesday connects you to the Mars archetype: initiative, courage, and movement.

These aren’t just symbolic ideas, they’re time-tested rituals that help bring rhythm, meaning, and flow into your life. When you start to live in tune with these cycles, everything begins to feel more natural: your work, rest, relationships, and self-care all align with the energy of the moment.
