Re: Hanuman - Why is he associated with Tuesday and Saturday?

Yajvan ji: Thanks for the links. I went through them. In 2 - 3 places, the links declare Hanuman ji to be Mars. It appears that owing to the factor 'Bala' (Strength), and Valor, along with bravery, Hanuman ji is regarded as Mars. But I heard Saturday represented by Saturn is also auspicious to him. I guess that is so because of tapasya (penance) aspect of Hanuman ji. In one of the links, it is said that Saturn signifies tapasya.
The answer to your question resides in the rāmāyaṇa; please consider taking a look there.
There is a relationship between śani and hanuman-ji. Hanuman-ji helps śani and hence śani ( saturn) offers him a boon (āmiṣa).
In short and not being long-winded on this , śani offers that no grief will come to hanuman-ji or his devotees.
Hence Mars and Saturn ( that own's Tueday's and Saturday's respectively ) are friends. There is recoprocity on those days.
There is much more to the story which you can research and perhaps let us know at HDF on your findings.
