1.49 THE RULING PLANETS OF THE DAY

In recognizing seven planets, ancient astrologers linked them to different days of the week, in the following order: the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn.

 

These became the Sun’s Day for Sunday; the Moon’s Day for Monday; but the names of the Roman gods became mixed with their Teutonic equivalents. For example, Woden is used instead of Mercury for Woden’s Day, or Wednesday; while Thor is used instead of Jupiter for Thor’s Day or Thursday.
