Where sky and story meet.
The seven traditional wandering lights are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The Sun is a star and the Moon is Earth's natural satellite; both are included in this historical sevenfold system. The weekday links follow the planetary week, while the meanings and prompts are our contemporary symbolic reading, not a universal ancient doctrine.
The moon dates above use astronomical calculations. The reflection themes are symbolic choices. We do not calculate planetary hours here; those depend on local sunrise and sunset.
