### The Eighth Note, in My Humble Opinion:
- **A** - Jupiter
- **B** - Mars
- **C** - Sun
- **D** - Saturn
- **E** - Venus
- **F** - Mercury
- **G** - Moon
When chord **A** changes its tuning each Hebrew month according to the month’s ordinal number, for example:
- In the month of Sivan, the third month, chord **A** is tuned to the note **B**.
- In the month of Cheshvan, the eighth month, chord **A** is tuned to the note **E**.
Each month has its corresponding tuning based on the Hebrew calendar.
An exception is **Adar Aleph** (Adar I), as it is the 13th month in a leap year. Its tuning remains the same as in the month of Adar: **A** is tuned to **G sharp**.

### Another Matter:
Each Hebrew month has a unique hour and day when the light of the moon is reborn. This time is sanctified through the acknowledgment of the Beit Din and the entire Jewish people. Every hour and day has its corresponding *mazal* (zodiac sign), and we bless the new mazal that it may be good. Each of the seven mazalot is associated with a part of the King's throne, which are called "the heavens," and the soul is referred to as "the shepherd." These are the seven shepherds who surround us.

### Regarding Melody:
If we take two chords:
1. The first chord corresponds to the mazal of the hour (there are only 7 mazalot).
2. The second chord corresponds to the mazal of the day of the week when the Jewish people sanctified the month/year/jubilee, according to the aforementioned system.
By playing these two chords freely, while at the very least keeping both in mind, we can align our music with a true and sincere prayer. This, in essence, is the purpose of musical practice: a person praying with a melody that the world truly needs.
