Planet Days: Are You in Sync with the Universe?

Is Your Leadership Clock on Time?
On time with the universe, or do you think you can fight the greatest energy of all? The truth is, the most successful leaders and sales professionals understand that timing is everything. Sales operates under a universal rhythm—one that aligns with a 3-day workweek. If you’re not moving deals forward on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, you’re likely missing the week’s prime window for momentum, delaying revenue and cash inflows unnecessarily. The truth is, cash out in sales is predictable and constant, while cash in must be made predictable and earned. By aligning with the natural weekly calendar and energies, you can create a consistent, powerful sales flow. Don’t ask me why—ask or thank the universe and God for being part of it. Let’s explore how each planetary ruler can shape this process.

The Planetary Influence on Sales and the 3-Day Workweek

Did you know that each day of the week is associated with a planet? This idea comes from ancient astrology and mythology, where celestial bodies were believed to influence time, energy, and human activities. Even today, these planetary connections can provide insight into how we structure our work, particularly in sales.

Sunday – The Sun

The week begins with Sunday, ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system. The Sun was also the Egyptian god Ra, and for many, Sunday is a day dedicated to God. Believer or not, think of this day as a time to connect with your universe—including your family, friends, pets, and passions. It’s a day of greatness and expansion, a day to let go and rejuvenate.

Sunday is about recuperating. It’s a time to catch up on sleep, reset your body’s natural chemicals, and put yourself in a good mood. Why? Because no good ideas ever came from people in a bad mood. When you allow yourself to rest, your mind clears, creativity flows, and you set yourself up for a productive and inspired week ahead. Just like the Sun shines for all, allow yourself to shine and set the tone for the days to come. Whether through prayer, meditation, or simply being in nature, reconnecting with what truly matters will uplift you and inspire you. We’re lucky to be alive—embrace it.

Monday – The Moon

Monday is governed by the Moon, tied to emotions and intuition. In sales, this is your window to establish or reinforce connections with prospects. Most decision-makers begin their week assessing priorities. If you’re not on their radar early, you risk being pushed aside. Monday is about setting the tone, getting responses, and ensuring momentum carries into Tuesday and Wednesday.

Teams tend to have too many meetings on Mondays. While meetings can be great for planning, don’t forget to leave space to nudge your clients or prospects—have them plan for you as well. Remember, early birds catch the worms. Your prospects are planning their week too, and if you’re not on their priority list, most will ignore you for the week (in case you’re wondering why people are ghosting you…). So carve out time for a quick email, letting them know you're thinking of them, focusing on them. Leave them a brief voice message. Be heard. Be seen.

Tuesday – Mars

Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, aggression, and momentum. This is your peak day for closing, pushing deals forward, and making strong moves. Prospects are fully engaged in their week, so leverage the high-energy Mars influence to make calls, book meetings, and create urgency. The work you put in today determines whether deals move forward or stall.

Wednesday – Mercury

Wednesday is influenced by Mercury, the planet of communication and speed. If Monday and Tuesday went well, Wednesday is the day to solidify agreements, finalize paperwork, and keep the energy going. If you missed momentum earlier in the week, today might still save you. But if you let the first half slip, you’ve likely prolonged revenue by another week—an expensive mistake in a business where cash flow dictates survival.

Thursday – Jupiter

Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunity, rules Thursday. Many decision-makers start winding down into planning mode for the next week. If you must initiate something new, make it about long-term vision rather than immediate execution. Thursdays are great for networking, building relationships, and thinking strategically, but don’t rely on them for urgent action.

Thursday is also a great day to invite clients into your office to speak with the team (or online in a casual meet-and-greet session). Creating an engaging and welcoming environment strengthens relationships and builds trust for future collaboration.

Friday – Venus

Venus, the planet of relationships and harmony, governs Friday. While not an aggressive sales day, it’s a great time to nurture existing relationships, follow up, and leave a lasting impression. Use Fridays for gratitude, client appreciation, and soft touches.

Friday is a great day to send thank-you notes, praises for good work, and recognition for great collaborations—to both colleagues and clients. It’s also about planting the seeds to be first on their workbench on Monday. The truth is, people prioritize those who make them feel good. Think about how many people actually thank you for anything—it can be rare. So position yourself as someone different, someone who has perspective and recognizes that not everything is for granted. Show that you didn’t just take someone’s energy but that you appreciate their investment in you. Be thankful for it. Act like few do. What is rare has value.

Saturday – Saturn

Saturday is under the rule of Saturn, the planet of discipline and structure. This is a great day for personal growth, reviewing past performance, and organizing for the week ahead. However, pushing sales on a Saturday often backfires—most people have shifted focus. Instead, reflect, learn, and prepare for the upcoming week.

Unlocking Sales Success Through Universal Rhythms

Sales is not just about hard work—it’s about timing, energy, and rhythm. If you ignore the natural 3-day workweek for moving deals, you’re likely bleeding cash while extending your revenue cycles unnecessarily. But when you align with this universal weekly calendar, things start to flow in your favor.

Not everything functions by the book. Stay curious. The universe holds secrets, and those who tune in often find the gems that turn good into great. The difference between those who struggle and those who thrive is often an understanding of these subtle, yet powerful forces.

Try it for yourself. Get on people’s radar at the right time, move with the rhythm, and watch how your results transform.
