Portuguese days of the week
Astronomer
In Reality...
The planets of the week are clearly numbered by
their sidereal order in diatonic fifths, to wit:
The first day of the week, Sun's day, is in his
Dorian mode, followed by the Moon's day Aeolian,
the key of A which is a perfect fifth above the
Sun's sidereal key of D; next, Mars' day is in
the Phrygian mode or sidereal key of E which is
the perfect fifth above the Moon's sidereal key
of A; next, Mercury's sidereal Locrian modality
is in the key of B, i.e., a perfect fifth above
the Martian E; Jupiter's day is in the sidereal
Lydian modality, the key of F--diminished fifth
above Mercury's B--which clearly emphasizes the
diatonic sidereal modalities and key signatures;
next, we have Venus' day in the greater perfect
Ionian modality, in the key of C--perfect fifth
above Jupiter's sidereal key of F.
Finally with the days of creation complete, the
sabbath day yields Saturn's Mixolydian A at the
perfect fifth above the Venusian C. The sabbath
of days are indisputably numbered in their side-
real order on the circle of fifths. Understand?
Daniel Joseph Min
The following chart demonstrates how the zodiacal
iris is formed by the sidereal and synodic orbits
of the planets. Note how the Sun's "sidereal year"
is understood as *orbiting* relative to Earth who
is forever at the center of her caelestial sphere
(yes, ancients understood this all perfectly well)
All values are rounded off to mean tropical years.

SYNODIC (Lunars)
*NOTE:Ura rules Earth's sidereal year =~ 1.00004
Nep rules Earth's tropical year =~ 1.00000
Plu rules Earth's own geocenter =~ 0.00000,
where zero equals the ever- present moment.
This next chart dates to circa ~440 AD, and agrees
100% with Greco-Roman authorities dating centuries
BC! These are the ten fixed diatonic which Apollon
holds. The twelve chromatic are co-formed as these
and are transliterated -- transposed --in the iris:

The chart below shows the actual planet and sign
correspondences to the major arcana in the tarot.
The letters shown are the common interpretations
based on the ancient alphabet with 22 characters;
in reality, the omega is the last page, the fool,
the one born-again. As time permits, I'll update
this chart to reflect the proper letter sequence:

This next chart shows the synodic and sidereal
periods of the planets in mean solar days, and
in mean tropical years for the sidereal years.
This is especially important, since this shows
how the order of the heavens is established by
sidereal--not synodic--periods of the planets,
from the Moon to Pluton as ancient astronomers
understood as their ancient charts demonstrate:

It's no wonder that Aphrodite (Venus) is the "foam" or
crest of the wave as we see her to place on the octave
of Pluto at the beginning of the fixed sidereal scales.
And of course, Pluto is the white pebble at the center
of the Earth, thus at the center of the human ear, etc.

*NOTE outer planet modes are in the lower octave;
e.g., Urania in the bass Aeolian is also called
Hypermixolidian or Hyperphrygian. But these are
repeat modes so the common names are maintained
for continuity. But each outer planets ethos is
its own, given this sidereal emphasis on length,
with Uranus out to infinity, Neptune just above
the Earth firmament, Pluto nearest to the Earth.

NOTE: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, & Mercury
are the five superior and inferior planets in
the iris. Uranus is superior to Aquarius with
Saturn inferior to the same; as Neptune is to
Pisces superior with Jupiter inferior thereto.
Pluton is superior with Mars Scorpio but only
Mars is inferior to Aries, with Pluton at the
center of the iris--the white light of all 12
signs combined. Hence Pluton is the geocenter,
the center of the Earth, the center of forces,
at the center of harmonic tension in the iris:
