When you prepare to get dressed for work or a social occasion, you plan in your mind what it is you want to wear. Then you make sure that it’s clean, pressed, back from the dry cleaners, and you know where to find it! This implies you’ve implemented the aspects of organization, cleanliness and balance from Feng Shui.

Getting dressed on any particular day means you want to be in harmony with the people, spaces, professional and natural environment, and the process or experience about to take place. Looking and feeling your best will bring out the love in your heart, clarity of mind, and positive intention in romance and/or business. These days, being positive and showing up with all our confidence and glory may mean we get the job or the sale, or develop the friendship.

CLOTHING COLOURS AND DAYS OF THE WEEK

Since ancient times, the planets of our Solar System have been associated with certain days of the week. In modern times, this comes down to us from the Romans and Greeks. Given Einstein’s Theory of Relativity wherein all aspects of the universe are interrelated in a holonomic field, there is harmony and relevance between the planets, days of the week and their associated colours.

Sunday is associated with the Sun, hence wearing yellow, gold and gold-white colours for your clothing is appropriate on this day.

Monday is the Moon’s day; yin colours such as silver or light blue are in harmony with the day.

Tuesday is considered related to Mars; so wearing yellow or red would make you feel coordinated.

Wednesday is Mercury’s day; deep blue, medium blue support you communicating yourself to your associates and clients.

Thursday connects with Jupiter; orange, green and cobalt blue work for your dress code today.

Friday is the day for Venus, romance and spiritual connections; emerald green, rose, pink and silver complement you when you wear clothes of these colours.

Saturday is associated with Saturn; browns, reds, earthy oranges are good clothing colours for you on this day.

You’ll enjoy experimenting with your wardrobe on a daily basis. It may relieve you of the monotony you feel in wearing the same colours or clothes every day. According to Vaastu, colours may vary with the season and the year as there is energetic and colour coordination for these time cycles as well. We’d like to hear how you feel when you change it up!
