What are Planetary Hours?
Planetary hours divide the day and night into 12 equal (but unequal in clock-time) periods each, totalling 24. The length of each daytime hour equals daylight duration ÷ 12; nighttime hours = (1440 − daylight) ÷ 12.
The sequence follows the Chaldean order (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon) starting from the first hour after sunrise using that day's day ruler. The planet governing the first hour gives the day its name: Sunday = Sun, Monday = Moon, etc.
Vedic Hora
In Vedic astrology, each hora (planet hour) carries the energy of its ruling graha (planet). Activities initiated in a particular hora are influenced by that planet's nature. This system dates back to Vedic-Hellenistic exchange (~300 BCE–600 CE).
Guru Hora (Jupiter) and Shukra Hora (Venus) are considered universally auspicious. Shani Hora (Saturn) and Mangal Hora (Mars) require care. Surya Hora (Sun) is excellent for government dealings.
