@jbudd showed you how to get the day of the week using getDate() (value 0-6, sun to sat). [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/inputing-data-in-to-different-gauges-on-for-each-day-of-the-week/90704/2)  
You can use that outptut in a msg property, then use a switch node to direct, where rules would be -  
Property would be value you save the 0-6 in  
Rule 1 `== (number) 0`  
Rule 2 `== (number) 1`  
etc.
