Actually the symbolism for that is long established. Monday is the day of the moon, whose sin is envy; Tuesday of Mars, whose sin is wrath/anger; Wednesday of Mercury, whose sin is greed/avarice; Thursday of Jupiter, whose sin is gluttony; Friday of Venus, whose sin is lust; Saturday of Saturn, whose sin is sloth/despair; and Sunday of the sun, whose sin is pride/vanity.
But it can also be done by the hour. For example, from midnight to one on Saturday is Saturn; from one to two is Jupiter; from two to three is Mars; from three to four is the sun; from four to five is Venus; from five to six is Mercury; from six to seven is the moon; from seven to eight is Saturn again. And if you carry this on, from midnight to one on Sunday is the hour of the sun, and from midnight to one on Monday is the hour of the moon, and so on; that's where the days of the week get their names, or so I've read.
