Sunday……….…Sun….….…Dimanche

Tuesday………..Mars……….Mardi
Wednesday……Mercury….Mercredi
Thursday…….…Jupiter..….Jeudi
Friday………...…Venus..……Vendredi
Saturday…….…Saturn……..Samedi
Day 1 – And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (1.3)
Sun governs light.
Day 2 – And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. (1.6)
Moon governs water.
Day 3 – And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. (1.9)
Mars governs territory.
Day 4 – And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. (1.14)
Mercury governs knowledge.
Day 5 – And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. (1.22)
Jupiter governs expansion and abundance.
Day 6 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (1.27)
Venus governs gender.
Day 7 – And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. (2.2)
Saturn governs rest.
This ordering of the planets is found in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra - an ancient Vedic text on astrology.
Rudolf Steiner and Edward Tarabilda also discuss the esoteric significance of this ordering of the planets.
