There is no necessity to begin counting 7-day weeks from Aa1-1. Sun is shining and we cannot see the planets (except Venus).

The measure should not be 7 but 6:

1
1	Aa1-1	Aa1-2	Aa1-3	Aa1-4	Aa1-5	Aa1-6
2
2	Aa1-7	Aa1-8	Aa1-9	Aa1-10	Aa1-11	Aa1-12
3
3	Aa1-13	Aa1-14	Aa1-15	Aa1-16	Aa1-17	Aa1-18
4
4	Aa1-19	Aa1-20	Aa1-21	Aa1-22	Aa1-23	Aa1-24
5
5	Aa1-25	Aa1-26	Aa1-27	Aa1-28	Aa1-29	Aa1-30
6
6	Aa1-31	Aa1-32	Aa1-33	Aa1-34	Aa1-35	Aa1-36
7
7	Aa1-37	Aa1-38	Aa1-39	Aa1-40	Aa1-41	Aa1-42
8
8	Aa1-43	Aa1-44	Aa1-45	Aa1-46	Aa1-47	Aa1-48

I have eliminated Saturn. Venus is at positions with numbers divisible by 3.

Moon has here been allowed to define 8 periods. But she comes in position 2. Or 3 if we begin with Venus, but why should we do that? A new chart can be drawn:

Sun	Moon	Mars	Mercury	Jupiter	Venus
1	2	3	4	5	6
7	8	9	10	11	12
13	14	15	16	17	18
19	20	21	22	23	24
25	26	27	28	29	30
31	32	33	34	35	36
37	38	39	40	41	42
43	44	45	46	47	48

The very special toga at Aa1-11 is in a Jupiter position, which agrees with my earlier interpretation of the first 15 glyphs describing a year. Mars stands at the beginning of the new year (Aa1-15), because Saturn has been eliminated. He brings the light, not Saturn.

Moving smoothly from the sun year to the sun day is not so easy. We ought to regard the first 4 glyphs (Aa1-1--4) as special, because with Mars appearing at new year in Aa1-15 there are 10 glyphs to Aa1-24 (halfway to Aa1-48). There should be a balance - 10 glyphs from Aa1-5 to Aa1-14 and 10 glyphs from Aa1-15 to Aa1-24.

I am therefore forced to introduce a period zero and rework the table:

0
0	Aa1-1	Aa1-2	Aa1-3	Aa1-4
1
1	Aa1-5	Aa1-6	Aa1-7	Aa1-8	Aa1-9	Aa1-10
2
2	Aa1-11	Aa1-12	Aa1-13	Aa1-14	Aa1-15	Aa1-16
3
3	Aa1-17	Aa1-18	Aa1-19	Aa1-20	Aa1-21	Aa1-22
4
4	Aa1-23	Aa1-24	Aa1-25	Aa1-26
5
5	Aa1-27	Aa1-28	Aa1-29	Aa1-30	Aa1-31	Aa1-32
6
6	Aa1-33	Aa1-34	Aa1-35	Aa1-36	Aa1-37	Aa1-38
7
7	Aa1-39	Aa1-40	Aa1-41	Aa1-42	Aa1-43	Aa1-44
8
8	Aa1-45	Aa1-46	Aa1-47	Aa1-48

It gives interesting results, for instance is Mars now at the beginning of each period from the 5th. But it is just a play with numbers and glyphs. 4 + 18 + 4 + 18 + 4 = 48 and 48 - 3 * 4 = 36.

Toga at Aa1-33 has a slender waning moon-shape at left, but it could be for instance a canoe instead. The character of the glyph makes me guess it is Saturn once again, which agrees with Sun at Aa1-27:

5
5	Aa1-27	Aa1-28	Aa1-29	Aa1-30	Aa1-31	Aa1-32
6
6	Aa1-33	Aa1-34	Aa1-35	Aa1-36	Aa1-37	Aa1-38
7
7	Aa1-39	Aa1-40	Aa1-41	Aa1-42	Aa1-43	Aa1-44
8
8	Aa1-45 (1)	Aa1-46	Aa1-47	Aa1-48

Sun should also be at Aa1-45, and there he should be number 1.

Then we have toga also at Aa1-11, and is seems as if that is the first in a quartet of dark glyphs, Sun cannot reach beyond Aa1-10:

1
1	Aa1-5	Aa1-6	Aa1-7	Aa1-8	Aa1-9	Aa1-10
2
2	Aa1-11	Aa1-12	Aa1-13	Aa1-14
3
3	Aa1-15	Aa1-16	Aa1-17	Aa1-18	Aa1-19	Aa1-20
