The Mathematical Mystery of Naming the Days: The Story of the Planets

Once a person asked an Indian astrologer, "Astrologer, what is this story of naming of days? Is there any planetary mathematics behind them or is it just assumed that this is Sunday and this is Saturday?"

To that the astrologer replied, "There is a mathematical principle of planets behind the names of the days. It is not just assumed that January will have 31 days and February will have 28 days."

The questioner asked, “How?

"

The astrologer explained, “There are 24 horas in a day, each of which is of one hour duration and each hora is ruled by a particular planet. Starting from the time of sunrise or sunset, there are 24 horas ruled by seven planets. The day is dedicated to the planet whose hora occurs at the time of sunrise.

After this, the astrologer explained in detail about the Hora period and the naming of days, in which he explained the names of the seven days of the week and their planetary relationships. He established it on the basis of authentic calculations of astronomy and said that it has been going on for ages.

He also explained the names of the days of the week in different languages ​​and their relation to the planets, so that people could understand more in this regard. In this way, he not only shared scientific facts but also revealed the important cultures and beliefs behind them.
