Science Experiment : Planetary Alignment

I've been performing a quiet, personal science experiment for the last couple of years that entails wearing certain colors on certain days. (Longer time readers and friends know I love a good science experiment.) It goes like this: the names associated with the days of the week are in alignment with certain planetary bodies. Meaning, when we say in English "Sunday" we are referring to the Sun. "Monday" is referring to the Moon. "Tuesday" is pointing to Mars, although the Latin based version of things, as in Martes, which is Spanish for Mars Day. And so on. 

If you consider it for a moment, we collectively align over and over in conversations, receipts, emails, court documents, news articles, so on and so forth in reference to the day. In fact, you probably see or hear the day of the week you're living on that day hundreds of times, reinforced over and over and over in multiple dimensions, like a mantra. 

As I've mentioned, each day of the week aligns with a celestial body but also a certain set of attributes and colors. I stumbled across the concept ages ago during one of my yogic-ayurvedic-study adventures and then a couple of years ago decided to give it a try for myself. What does it mean to align with the "energy" of a particular day of the week? Does it make a difference?  What happens if I don't wear as much grey, black and brown? What happens if I wear the "wrong" color on a particular day? Do I even own all the colors in my clothing? Where do I even start with this science experiment? Are there other changes that I notice as I wear the colors, particularly as they pertain to the chakras? What if I charted my progress in a spreadsheet? Hm... 

I made myself a little chart based on my various research adventures:

(Please note - these are my personal notes captured in chart form based on an amalgamation of LOTS of this stuff floating around in various reference materials. It's my personal version of things and the data set I'm using for my personal science experiment.)
​
Over the last two and a half years I have been wearing colors that correspond to the days of the week. And yes, over time I have noticed some shifts. If forced to articulate them, here they are:

• ​Wearing a colorful palette is like eating a colorful palette. It feels surprisingly well-rounded somehow. 
• I like wearing color. I find that I feel uplifted. I didn't know that clearly about myself before. 
• I'm now conscious to do certain tasks on certain days if possible. For example, if I have something that requires a lot of focus I might "schedule" for myself on a Wednesday, the day of communication, wearing verdant green. If there's something I need to do with money, I might consider a Thursday as it's considered a day of abundance. Not that I can't or am somehow unable to do certain things on certain days, but if I have control of when or how something will go, sometimes I'll align it with the color and the day.
• Sometimes I can feel the "emanation" of the color when I wear it. Red is most palpable in my experience but they all have a "Feel" to them, for sure. Wearing different colors definitely affects my mood. 
• Yes, I have noticed chakra associations with wearing certain colors. Not sure I can articulate this fully but there really is some value in wearing tons of yellow, for example, and its affect on my solar plexus experience. Merely one example of seven. 
• I have found that I don't have to wear a certain color head-to-toe, totally monochromatic. (Although it can be mighty powerful when I do!) For example, I can pull a dress out to wear with many colors on it and simply make a point to resonate with a particular color on the dress on a particular day.  
• People actually respond to differently to different colors. There's a ton of power to colors and how they subtly communicate with others. 
• I've observed a reduction in decision making fatigue with regards to what to wear. In fact, it's been a god-send. Each day, I choose from a limited set of options for a particular day. And in turn, I evenly wear out my clothes. And bonus: I barely have to shop anymore so that's also awesome! 
• During these pandemic times, it's been helpful to keep my days straight.  I don't wonder so much Is it Wednesday or Thursday? like how I hear others lament. I simply pull the color for the day and go for that color ride. I'm 100% clear what day it is. 

In the end, I like it. It's a fun, ongoing experiment because the energy of a particular day is already in motion by virtue of simply being named as it is. Wearing the resonate colors for each day simply functions as a subtle "merging technology" where you swim with the big current instead of against it. You work with 'what is already so' to amplify and inform yourself. In essence, you ride a widespread wave already in motion through color and symbols because, at large, we're all in agreement what day of the week it is. If this color technology idea resonates, I'd encourage you to give it a try! Science experiments are fun. And yes, I totally have a tracking spreadsheet. It is an ongoing experiment after all. 

​May it be so.
