This revitalized system dates back to♀ March 11, 2022. While planning our week ahead, we (Marcelo and Bryan) asked each other how we could better drive the momentum of our ideas.  Writing out possible solutions, a question arose: 
“Where do the names of the days of the week come from?”

​

We laughed at never having been taught this. We then learned how the names are derived from their association to
the classical planets; The Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.

​

In English the names come from Norse mythology, but in Latin the planetary associations remain.

(Ex: Thursday = Thor's-day) ⚡️

​

We studied the origin of the 7-day cycle and the development of our modern calendars, 
such as the Gregorian calendar we use today. 

​

The history of modern man begins with the history of the study of the stars.
​
When humans began to study the lunar phases, follow the seasons, and observe and record the stars,

they were rewarded with balance towards nature as well as guidance on managing their their crops and lives.
Ancient civilizations are rooted to their Calendars - which served as the framework for learning and organization.
The 7-day week (1/4 of the ~28-day Moon cycle) was established first by the Sumerians who set the foundation for all subsequent civilizations; societies who iterated this unifying calendar system. 
 

That Friday morning session in the garden reaffirmed to us the importance in asking questions.

We questioned the systems we are born into - feeling that they do not serve our best interest.
Seeing how the calendar has changed and is no longer aligned with nature:

​We created Órbita Semanal to revitalize our modern calendar.

 

We began using our system based on the 3 cycles: The Week, The Month, and The Year.
The 3-cycles are the foundation for integration of, and alignment to, the cycles of nature.

​

1. The Week is organized through the 7-Classical Planets.
2. The Month is an approximation of the cycle of the Moon.
3. The Year is both the seasons and the 12 Zodiac.
 

Additionally, we integrated the use of symbols to better organize ourselves through our journals.

We begin our 7-day cycle on Sunday - our Month on the New Moon - and our Year in the Spring.​​

 

Like the early civilization's who iteratively created the week, the month, and the year, we use ÓS to share the ancient symbology imbued within each cycle; experiencing the benefits that the natural rhythms have to teach us.​

The cycles of nature reminds us about the need for rest, renewal, and aligned action. 

​

Journaling in alignment with the week,  the month, and year helps us better drive our ideas forward!

Journaling helps us to organize our ideas and vision while the esoteric symbology points us back to ourselves; empowering our own decision-making with consideration to the use of our thoughts, words, and energy.
 
The 3-Cycles are the framework for our journaling practice which we outline through 'The Hero's Journey.'

We are all on our daily hero's journey as we face our own personal and collective cycles & patterns.

​

We use the symbology and archetypes of the Planets and Zodiac to apply the lessons present in each cycle.

This creative practice of mindful observation, which began with our curiosity, is now our path to wisdom.​

The intention of ÓS is to connect deeper with ourselves, each other, and nature.

We use this site to continue to iterate and expand this work with you.

ÓS encourages clarity and an illuminated will. 

The story continues daily.
