The Quality of Jupiter's Day
Generosity, trust and a wider view. Tradition gave Jupiter hours to teaching, law, religion, asking favors and anything meant to grow. The ruler of the day returns every seventh hour, at the 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd hours, so its quality threads through the whole day. What gives this day meaning, and where could you be more generous?
