Does that change the matchup of weekday names from the Hebrew to the Gregorian calendar?
It means that half of the time - days are desynchronized.

It wasn't CALLED Saturn's Day in the Hebrew calendar. The Romans chose that name for it. "Shabbat" means "Day of Rest and Prayer"--originally nothing to do with the planet Saturn.
So, the Sabbath begins on Friday, Day of Venus?
Anyone who goes against the rule of our Father (the patriarchy).
David, All I said was that the Romans associated the Jewish God with Saturn, not that Jews themselves would have done so.The word Shabbat (or Shabbos in the Ashkenazi pronunciation) does mean a day of refraining from work. It also has the association with the word sheva, meaning seven. The 7th day.
What does this mean? Out with it, Petosiris.
The patriarchy absolutely devalues the feminine. Can’t understand why. Negging - old as dirt.
More than that, Sophia is the Wisdom of Deity. She has been revered as the Wise Bride of Solomon by Jews, as the Queen of Wisdom and War (Athena) by Greeks, and as the Holy Spirit of Wisdom by Christians.
Sophia (Koinē Greek: σοφία sophía "wisdom") is a central idea in Hellenistic philosophy and religion, Platonism, Gnosticism, and Christian theology.
Philo, a Hellenized Jew writing in Alexandria, attempted to harmonize Platonic philosophy and Jewish scripture. Also influenced by Stoic philosophical concepts, he used the Koine term logos (λόγος, lógos) for the role and function of Wisdom, a concept later adapted by the author of the Gospel of John in the opening verses and applied to Jesus as the Word (Logos) of God the Father.[3]
In Gnosticism, Sophia is a feminine figure, analogous to the soul, but also simultaneously one of the emanations of the Monad. Gnostics held that she was the syzygy of Jesus (i.e. the Bride of Christ) and was the Holy Spirit of the Trinity. She is occasionally referred to by the Hebrew equivalent of Achamṓth
In Russian Orthodox mysticism, Sophia became increasingly indistinguishable from the person of the Theotokos (rather than Christ), to the point of the implication of the Theotokos as a "fourth person of the Trinity".
Helena Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy Refers to her in her writings - (see Wikipedia)

A goddess Sophia was introduced into Anthroposophy by its founder, Rudolf Steiner, in his book The Goddess: From Natura to Divine Sophia and a later compilation of his writings titled Isis Mary Sophia
I word it differently: The Romans borrowed from other cultures. They borrowed the idea of a Day of Rest from the Hebrew calendar, and decided Saturn's Day would be best, because they feared Saturn as the god of accidents. Coincidentally, astrologers were applying the term "planet" as meaning "wandering star", which included Sol and Luna, making Saturnus the 7th astrological planet fit the 7th Day in that sense.
The Romans, like the Greeks, believed that the Hebrew "One God before all other gods" was a reference to their own King of the gods, Zeus/Jupiter.
So far as I know the pagan Romans did not have a day of rest. It was implemented late in Antiquity by a Christian emperor.

It's easy to be a girl though. You just sit around and look pretty.
The attempt to connect the Hebrew Sabbath to the planet Saturn is an invalid assertion. It followed the Church's decision to connect the majesty and brightness of the Sun to the Christian savior by having its day of worship on Sunday.
Here's a question: Does the Roman Catholic Church designate Sunday as its 7th day, unlike the civil calendar? Or, has it simply abandoned the Hebrew concept of the 7th day as the appropriate day of rest and prayer?

Plutarch, in the 1st Century A.D., wrote a treatise on why the weekdays were astrologically named after the Roman gods in the order they still are, in combination with a 24 hour cycle. They were named when the Roman pantheon was still current.
Saturn's day was not a sacred, or an official day of rest, but it became popular for that purpose in the pre-Christian Roman Empire.
