Planetary hours astrology shows you at your best. It shows how you tune out static, stress, and external pressure and make contact with your own sense of self at centre. It shows your most natural and joyous state of being, wherein you need nothing outside yourself to feel whole fulfilled, and at peace. The following interpretations are not necessarily descriptions of how you act every day, but rather of how you act when your luck is flowing. They describe that side of your personality which you should seek to enlarge until you are able to act with complete effectiveness in your everyday life. When we look at the day of the week you were born, as opposed to your rising sign in conventional astrology, we are looking at a wholly positive side of your personality and relationship with your environment. Your weekday symbolizes a more genuine interaction with other people than does your rising sign. Your weekday shows you in your most relaxed and natural state of being – the side of you which others find most inviting. The astrological day begins at dawn (not midnight). Therefore, if you were born between midnight and dawn (i.e. if your natal Sun falls in the first three houses of a conventional horoscope), then you should read the interpretation for the day of the week before your birthday. For example, if you were born on a Tuesday between midnight and dawn, then you should read the interpretation for Monday.

If you were born on a SUNDAY you are probably outgoing, self-possessed, poised, and dignified. You have unlimited self-assurance and unhesitatingly, take your rightful place (preferably in the centre) of any social group of which you are a part. Because you basically respect yourself as a person, you are able to respect other people as well, and this naturally wins you their respect in turn. You are a natural-born leader, not because you flaunt yourself, but precisely because you are willing to honour other people’s viewpoints as being valid from their own side. Indeed, they respect your calm reason and objective judgment. You are practical and down-to-earth, and your forthrightness induces other people to look up to you.

If you were born on a Monday you are soft, childlike, spontaneous, and possess the eager cheerfulness of a puppy. You are playful and mischievous, and take a positive, constructive view towards life and its problems. You try to avoid conflict because you have a genuine love of peace and harmony. You have a strong sense of your own personal space, and a respect for that of others, you are both gentle and firm. Because you basically feel good about yourself and truly like yourself, you make it easy for other people to like you as well. You are able to keep cool and collected no matter what is going on around you, because you are very attuned to your own inner voice, and you follow your own intuition with little regard for what other people might think of you.

If you were born on a Tuesday you are irrepressible and adventurous. You have a shrewd, analytical mind which sees clearly through the ulterior motives of other people. You are fearless in confronting other people directly – eyeball to eyeball, cheek to jowl, and in fact you seem to come alive at any hint of confusion or doubt in an opponent. You love challenge for its own sake, but have little patience for thinking in terms of long-term goals or empire building. You prefer keeping loose, agile, and free of commitments so you are always able to land on your feet no matter how hard life buffets you about.

If you were born on a Wednesday you are unabashed and plain-spoken, and do not hesitate to speak your mind and speak to the point. Your no-nonsense approach to people and your ironic sense of humour cut through pretence and go right to the heart of matters. You do nothing for show or effect. Because you feel no need to prove anything to yourself, you feel no need to put on airs, but are able to relax and just be yourself in any company; and your simplicity enables other people to be out-front with you in turn. You tend to rely upon bull-headedness rather than subtlety or guile to get your way; and while your frankness can at times be bruising, your earnestness and sincerity win the admiration of others.

If you were born on a Thursday you are soft-spoken, polite, and considerate. You possess a detached intellectual curiosity and an open, non judgmental attitude towards others. You are forward-looking and hopeful, and are willing to tackle even arduous jobs with a spirit of dedication and enterprise. You are able to carry out any task smoothly and cheerfully because you don’t let your personal feelings get in your way. You prefer not to make waves, not because you are shy or feel threatened by people, but rather because you don’t need any ego-bolstering from them. You are optimistic and always prefer to look at the bright side of things rather than become bogged down in disagreements or bickering.

If you were born on a Friday you possess a starry-eyed idealism and freshness. You’re not afraid to let it all hang out, to express your true feelings openly and make yourself vulnerable to other people, because you feel you have nothing to be ashamed of or to hide. You are thoroughly candid without being brusque; on the contrary, you are soft, open, and approachable. You don’t let yourself become too dependent on the approval and validation of other people to know your own sense of self-worth. At root you know that your own motives are good, so that you are capable of reaching out to others in a spirit of good will and good faith. Because you basically trust your own motives, you are able to trust in the ultimate good nature of other people as well.

If you were born on a Saturday you are serious-minded and reserved. Your patience and forbearance are the product of a true faith in yourself and the power of the universe to sustain you. You are high-minded and courageous, and are always willing to stand alone on your own two feet. You are hard-working and thorough, without demanding any special recognition for your efforts. You are basically self-starting and self-motivating, and therefore you have little need for or interest in the carrot or stick for encouragement. Although you can be independent and maddeningly aloof and blasé, your self-reliance is a model for and stabilizing influence upon other people.
