Sapta Vara in Vedic Astrology

 Vara or Week Day

Week day in the Hindu Panchanga system is considered from Sunrise to next day Sunrise.

 
The sequence of weekdays that we follow is an ancient tradition, with each day of the week being associated with one of the seven visible planets. These days are known as Vara or Vasre. In Vedic Astrology, the days of the week have been associated with the successful accomplishment of certain types of activities. Certain activities are also considered inconsistent with the personalities of certain weekdays. The suitability of weekdays closely correspond to the significations of the lords of those weekdays. Birth on a particular day will make that planet's affairs in the chart quite significant in a person's life.
