FOUR PALACES OF THE MOON: a cycle consisting of the four quarters of the Moon's path in the sky, which contain the 28 LUNAR LODGES, each PALACE hosting the Moon for a 7-day week. The PALACES are associated with the Four Directions, the Four Seasons, four of the FIVE PHASES (and their colors), and so on. The first LUNAR LODGE of the Eastern PALACE, THE HORN, is the beginning of the cycle.
Each PALACE begins on a Thursday. The days of each PALACE are ruled by the Seven Lights:
| Day of the Week | Chinese | Western |
| Thursday | the WOOD Star | Jupiter |
| Friday | the METAL Star | Venus |
| Saturday | the EARTH Star | Saturn |
| Sunday | TAI-YANG | Sun |
| Monday | TAI-YIN | Moon |
| Tuesday | the FIRE Star | Mars |
| Wednesday | the WATER Star | Mercury |
Note: This correspondence of Days to the Seven Lights is identical to the ancient Norse and Celtic systems.
