The sixth day is known as the day Yosef visits our booth.
Yosef represents the essence of the Moon (& the fiery side of Mars).
It's because the Moon & Mars are connected to the base (as representing basic instincts of reaction (the moon) & of initiation (Mars)).
Yosef was a base for the Egyptians to lean on through the years of the hunger & this is probably the connection to these planets.
The Moon also represents the mother, the family, the subconscious, the daily habits, etc'.
In this day we check our relationship with our mother.
Is it calm or tense most of the time?
Is our mother over-protective or the opposite of it?
Of course there are a lot of questions that we need to ask on this matter...
The challenge here is to reach the balance between our Independence & our bond to our mother which is basically dependent while having a relationship (with our mother)that we can truly live with it.
Of course this balance can be changed through the flow of life.
By the way we check our inner mother (the soft & sensitive side of ours which takes care of).
Are we a caring/sensitive persons enough?over-caring/sensitive or little?
We deeply check our life to see where we stand on this matter,we see where we missed being like that & why, change what's needed to be changed(for example if we came into a conclusion that we're over caring/sensitive while knowing that every case stands for itself) & keep doing it all the time.
We continue doing so about the relationship to our family in general.
It's also a chance to check deeply our daily habits to see which one delays us from achieving our goals or just living properly.
It's the time to initiate new things & to break the habits which we identified as a delaying habits.
It's very important to change a delaying habit with an initiation of a new thing as soon as possible in order to prevent this old habit from grasping on us(in this case it has no home to return to).
In addition we promise ourselves to continue doing so all the time because this is the key for our self growth.
More than that, it's also important to balance between the artistic side of Venus & the concrete side of Mercury than implement (by its communication) the artistic ideas of Venus.

Aharon's day-the fifth day
The fifth day of the feast is known as the day that Aharon visits our booth.
Aharon represents the essence of Mercury that includes communication,thinking,rationalism & movement.
Indeed, Aharon helped his brother Moshe (that described himself as a heavy talker) to communicate with the Jewish nation.
Aharon also took a rational attitude when he prefer the people to be sinners than rebellious in the case of the golden calf.
In this day we deeply observe our communication.
Do we talk a lot or a little?
Did we have a chance for communication that we missed?Where?When?Why?
Do we talk from the heart or our talking is artificial?
Whatever the answers are we promise ourselves to improve it (while flowing with life about the first question).
We do the same with our thinking.
We try to find a delaying patterns of thinking deriving from low self esteem,fears,etc'.
We promise ourselves to work on it & to turn it into a constructive pattern of life.
It's very important to change a delaying pattern with a constructive pattern as soon as possible in order to prevent the delaying pattern from clinging on you(in this case it has no home to return to).
An example of that can be saying:" I can do this,if not in this way then in other way & in the worst case it won't be perfect,so what?" instead of saying:"I can't do it, it's beyond my ability".
We check where we stand in our way of thinking.
Are we spontaneous or calculated most of the time?conservative or advanced?etc'.
We check the incidents which occurred in our lives (the more the better) to see how the way of our thinking affected it.
Was it after all a delaying pattern of life that failed us?
Did we have to be more spontaneous in order to succeed (we relatively failed for being over-calculated) or the opposite is true?
We ask the same about other extremes such as conservative/advanced thinking (again the more the better).
We promise ourselves to work on it, change where it's needed & of course continue doing so through the changing life.
This day also gives us a chance to work on the negative side of Mercury such as gossip & being two-faced.
As Mercury in connected to movement, it gives us a chance to realize how much do we listen to our body.
Do we walk well?
Do we change positions (from standing to walking & the opposite, from standing to sitting & the opposite, etc') well?
Yes, it's a lot of work but the more you invest in this work, the more healthy & growing you're going to be.

Moshe's (Moses's) day-the fourth day
The fourth day of the feast is known as the day that Moshe (Moses) visits our booth.
Moshe represents Venus essence.
It's shown by the fact that he received God's inspiration to write the Torah.
Venus is the level where the art receives a shape.
This is exactly what happened here.
The art (represented by God's inspiration) received its shape of the Ten Commandments written on a two stony boards.
Venus essence also includes satisfaction,art,love,beauty,balance,etc.
In this day we deeply observe the level of our satisfaction in life.
We see if there is something (that would make us satisfied) we wanted to do but never did although we wanted to.
It's time to seek for new pleasures even if they look small & simple.
From my experience the real pleasures are the small & the simple ones.
Of course we change & diverse them when it's needed through the flow of life.
It's time to seek & develop our art skills & to improve the art skills we already have.
Of course it's time to work on negative characteristics of Venus such as social pleasing.
We see how much love & beauty take place in our lives.
Do we lack of them or do we exaggerate in expressing them on the account of other things?
After answering this question we activate in accordance to it & continue doing so through the flow of life.
We check the balance in our life & improve ourselves in it when is needed & continue doing it all the time.
The more deep & thorough (Pluto's essence) we're in it, the better the results are going to be in it.

Ya'akov's day-the third day
The third day of the feast is known as the day that Ya'akov visits our booth.
Ya'akov represents the Sun which is our real inner self, our self actualization.
In this day we observe deeply the level of our self fulfillment.
Ya'akov is also the real ancestor of the Jews that have to be the light to the non-Jewish as the Sun enlights the solar system, this is apparently the connection between Ya'akov & the Sun.
We see where we need to improve ourselves in it & how.
We see how we're & what is needed to be changed.
It's also a chance to work on the negative sides of the sun such as the sensitivity to your ego.
In addition it's a chance to work on our relationship with our father (the Sun also represents the father) & of course the inner father (the father figure that's inside us).
This is also the day where we balance between Jupiter's essence of the first day & Saturn's essence of the second day.
indeed, Ya'akov does represent this balance & it can be seen even if we only look at his movements.
Unlike Abraham that walked all his life from place to place (Jupiter's expansion) & Yitzhak that stayed in his place even in the period of the hunger (Saturn's restriction), Ya'akov indeed balanced between the two (for example he moved (Jupiter) only when the reality forced him to (Saturn)).
We Balance between logic (Saturn's essence) & intuition (Jupiter's essence).
We deeply observe the level of both of them, we see where we're right or wrong following them (for instance guessing the character of a person standing next to us)to figure out where we stand in it& change what's needed to be changed.
In the end we reach the right balance between both that of course can be changed by the flow of life.
We do the same with the balance between realism & optimism.
We deeply observe our lives to see how realistic & optimistic we're.
We see where we failed & succeeded (in every area of life, from a simple test to earning millions in our business) & how optimistic & realistic we're during these events.
By doing that we change what is needed to be changed & reach the right balance between them & continue changing (if it's needed) through the flow of life.
We continue doing so with other characteristics of these two planets (the more the better).
We move between the expansions & credits of Jupiter & the restrictions & obligations of Saturn in order to reach our real self fulfillment.

Yitzhak's day-the second day
The second day of Hag Sukkot is known as the day that Yitzhak comes to visit our booth.
Yitzhak represents Saturn's essence (along with Mars, mostly the watery side of it).
Saturn represents seriousness,responsibility,logic,commitment,learning from the experience & above all restriction.
In this day we deeply observe in our life to see how responsible & seriuos we're about it.
We see where we should take responsibility but didn't.
We promise ourselves to be more responsible this year.
If we see that we're too much responsible in something (like being overprotective), we can always reduce that.
Of course we have to flow with life & change the level of responsibility according to it.
It's always good to observe life deeply to see the experiences we had & what we learned from them.
It's also always good to do so with all the characteristics of Saturn.
In addition it's a chance to work on the negative sides of Saturn such as toughness & pessimism.
After dealing with Saturn's essence it's going to be easier to deal with the watery side of Mars.
This is the time to deal with anger & it's rages (for example).

Abraham's day-the first day
This is the day that traditionally Abraham visits the booth.
Abraham represents Jupiter's essence (also Neptune's essence because the watery side of Jupiter controlled Pisces before the discovery of Neptune).
As known, Jupiter's essence characterizes in optimism,abundance,generosity,intuition,exaggeration,luck,success & above all is characterized in expansion.
In this day we observe how this essence affects our life.
We observe our life to see how optimistic we're in general.
We see where we missed being optimistic in order to improve ourselves in the future.
Of course if we come to a conclusion after a deep observation that we're too much optimistic, we restrict it.
We continue this process by letting the test of time (or the flow of life) help us figure out the right level of optimism we need that can be change in any point in our dynamic life).
We do the same with generosity.
We observe ourselves to see how generous we're (not necessarily financially).
We promise ourselves to improve ourselves in it in any case (enhancing if we find out a shortage & restricting any exaggeration in it).
Again, life always changes & therefore we have to pay attention to it & change the level of it if necessary.
By the way it's an opportunity to work on the negative sides of Jupiter such as exaggeration, hypocrisy & over-righteousness.
Of course we continue doing so with other characteristics of Jupiter (the more the better) to see mainly how can we expand our lives (in every possible area).
More than that, as this essence of Jupiter (including its watery essence) is the altruistic power of the universe it's very important to work on it (maybe because of that it's found in the first day of Hag Sukkot).

Hag Sukkot(1)
Hag Sukkot(Sukkot's feast-"חג סוכות") comes after Yom Kipur & is known as the end of the transformation's process.
Rosh Hashana is known as the beginning of this process when you first realize that your way of life needs a change(as seen Mars gives the drive to do this change).
Yom Kipur is known as the middle of this process when you start working on your Karma & cultivate the whole you(Pluto's essence is emphasized very strongly here & also Saturn's because you have to be very much responsible to this process).
The first letter of this feast is Samech ("ס") which traditionally represents the infinity(Pluto's essence) for having a shape of a circle(which regenerates itself constantly).
As being a closed letter (the circle is closed), it represents the closed or unrevealed (watery essence) side of it or actually of you.
Having help for the letter Vav ("ו") which comes after it & is known as a letter of connection, the essence of the letter Samech above gets contained by the letter Kaf ("כ").
The letter Kaf as seen in the previous post has Pluto's essence of containing everything.
Also as seen before, the letter Kaf is represented by the Sun which is the inner self that contains the whole you.
The entrance of the letter Samech's essence to the letter Kaf means that now you contain sides of yours that you didn't know of theirs existence.
More than that, the extrovert essence of the letter Kaf (the sun has an extrovert essence) helps the introvert essence of the letter Samech to express itself(also the letter Samech (despite having an introvert essence) represents the sign Sagittarius & therefore waits to expose itself).
Now all that was covered before become uncovered & you become fully aware of who you're & that's way it's the end of the transformation's process.
More than that, the cover of the booth is called "Schach" & is written "סכך" in order to show that God (represented by the regenerating infinity (also Pluto's essence) of the letter Samech) covers & protect you, the real inner you which is represented by the letter Kaf (the letter Samech traditionally also has a shape of a protecting wall).
The last letter in this word is Tav ("ת") which signs the end of this process (the word "tav" in Hebrew means a sign).
Also as being the last regular letter in the Hebrew's Alpha-Bet, this letter traditionally indicates a movement to other dimension, similar to the quantum jump of Uranus, that after it you truly become unique & authentic (exactly as its essence indicates).
As seen, this process starts with Mars & the new beginnings it initiates by its drive & will.
As seen in the post about Rosh hashana, this drive/will gets help from God itself(which his essence is expressed by the three Planets beyond Saturn's orbit) in order to implement the change/transformation.
Yom Kipur represents the peak of the process of the Change/transformation when you deal with your Karma (represented by Pluto & Saturn, this is also where Mars's drive/will slows down in order to contain these two essences).
Hag Sukot as seen now, it's the end of this process when you fully acquire Uranus's essence & truly become unique & authentic.
Uranus starts to express itself in this feast's custom of sitting in a temporary structure (booth-"sukka") which indicates the flow of life where everything changes & hence everything is actually temporary in oppose to the permanent house we live in.
More than that, the booth has simple things like paper's decorations inside so you realize that the real pleasure of this temporary life is found in the simple things of it.
This also helps your authenticity & uniqueness (represented by Uranus) grow.
In addition, we do some holes in the booth's cover in order to see the sky & through it to see the infinite(Pluto's essence) space (Uranus's essence).
In this case Pluto helps Uranus actualize itself to the fullest.
When Uranus's essence in you is fully actualized, it's more easy to gain Neptune's essence (that controls the last sign Pisces)which is the power of love & giving uniting the whole universe.
This is where the whole cycle (that started with Mars(that controls the first sign Aries) in Rosh Hashana) ends.
There's a custom in this feast of hosting one biblical personality each day of its seven days.
Together there are seven personality when each one represent a planet as we'll see in the next posts.
