Saturday in Vedic astrology is ruled by Saturn, which is considered a difficult planet. It is considered cold and barren and dry; which irritates Vata. So warm oils on the skin and warm lubricating teas would help on Saturdays to calm and soothe Vata. Saturn is also the planet of delays, obstructions and responsibilities; it is associated with Yama the god of Death. Yoga and Pranayama are recommended on Saturdays as they are related to the control of death. Colors are blue, jet black and indigo. I like to call it Saturnday. Also a good day to be of service.

In Vedic astrology, Friday, or Viernes, is ruled by Venus. Libras are governed by Venus; so Fridays are Libras day of the week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is a day of beauty, love and finer things…. think pearls, silk and the color white; like flower petals and also polka dots.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Friday is also considered sweet; like maitri, a day to do good and benevolent things.

Nandi is a sacred white bull in Hindu mythology associated with Siva.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I was in India, I was walking to the internet cafe. Ahead of me on the sidewalk there were about 10 or 12 of cows. I knew that cows in India are sacred, so I figured I would keep a polite distance. A local girl walking in front of me passed by the cows, so I thought I would try. It was unnerving but I was almost to the front when a white cow slid her horn under my arm. It was like walking arm in arm with a friend except it was a horn and arm and an extremely large cow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The strap of my backpack slid off my arm onto her horn and now I was attached to the cow by my backpack. It was terrifying. I looked her in the eye and silently said, “Please…..” She tilted her head down and right and the strap slid off her horn. I picked up the pace and passed the herd. I darted into the internet cafe and watched them pass by. When I got back to my flat, I asked the landlady if something like that was normal. She looked at me and shook her head slowly, “No Amy, not at all.”
