So far as human occupations are concerned, the (Western) week is cast in much the same pattern: it might have been fitted into the Outer Circle like this, in Christian times:

			C
			Sunday
	R				S
	Saturday				Monday
G			☼			M
	Friday				Tuesday
	J				U
		Thursday		Wednesday
			A

[In this and the next chart the weekdays are more equidistant round the circle than represented here.]

I suppose the Jewish week would be rotated one day clockwise; and the Muslim week a further day clockwise?

Now that Christianity is, practically speaking, a minority religion in many Western countries, the Western week might look more like this:

			C
		Saturday		Sunday
	R				S
	Friday				Monday
G			☼			M
	Thursday				Tuesday
	J				U
			Wednesday
			A

– Saturday and Sunday now having equal status: by *Sunday, in fact, we are already thinking about Monday.

*{(the time we get to)}
