As the 1655 Heptameron has it
The Angels of the Lords day: Michael, Dardiel, Huratapal. The Angels of the Air ruling on the Lords day: Varcan, King. His Ministers: Tus, Andas, Cynabal. The winde which the Angels of the Air abovesaid are under: the North-winde. The Perfume of the Lords day: Red Wheat. The Spirits of the Air of the Lords day are under the North-winde; their nature is to procure Gold, Gemmes, Carbuncles, Riches; to cause one to obtain favour and benevolence; to dissolve the enmities of men; to raise men to honors; to carry or take away infirmities. But in what manner they appear, it's spoken already in the former book of Magical Ceremonies.
Where this comes from

The Heptameron is a handbook of the days and the hours. It sets out, for each day of the week, the angel who governs it, his sigil, his planet, the sign that planet rules and the heaven he belongs to. It was printed in English in 1655 beside Agrippa's Fourth Book. The attribution to Peter de Abano, the thirteenth-century physician, is traditional rather than established.

Heptameron, or Magical Elements of Peter de Abano, in Henry Cornelius Agrippa's Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy (London, 1655). The text and the sigils are in the public domain.

The sigil is traced from the 1655 printing, and checked line for line against the Wellcome Library's copy of the same edition.

Two copies of the 1655 edition were compared: the Wellcome Library's, which is the original sheet, and a clean facsimile of it. The figures are identical in both; the facsimile was traced because the original page has the reverse showing through it.
