Figure IV.3: The Zodiac and the motion of the days through it.
Notice that the indicated motion in Figure IV.3 refers to the apparent rotation of the sphere of the fixed stars, while the actual astronomical motion is due to the revolution of the earth. The twelve zodiacal signs are divided into four groups whose influences re related to the four material elements (earth, water, air and fire), as described in the preceding Chapter; each group contains three signs of the same nature. The motion of each cosmic Day starts at the first degree of Gemini. Thus the orb of the zodiac (fixed starts) executes only seven distinctive cycles, which are then repeated that over and over again. Each Day of these seven Days of the divine creative Week is called a 'Day of event', in which only one single event happens, because it is ruled by one primary divine Name of Allah. So there are seven Days of events, each related to one particular divine Name from the seven fundamental Names mentioned in section III.4.
