The term "七曜" (Shichiyō) refers to the seven days of the week, from Sunday to Saturday. Today, it is mainly used to separate weekdays from holidays, but in ancient times, it was also used to determine lucky and unlucky days and guide daily activities.
In Shukuyō Astrology, people often focus on the "宿" (Shuku). However, as the name "宿曜" (Shukuyō) suggests, true mastery of this system comes from understanding both the 27 Shuku and the 7曜 (Yō - Seven Luminaries).
There are many ways to use the seven-day cycle in Shukuyō Astrology. Concepts like the Lingfan period, the six harmful Shuku, and the three lucky/unlucky days come from combining Shuku and Yō.
In this section, we will explore personality traits based on the Shichiyō of a person’s birth date.
