"Hora" (होरा) is thought to derive from the Greek "ὥρα" (hōra, season or hour) or from the Sanskrit "Ahoratra" (full day-and-night cycle). In Vedic astrology, both the Hora divisional chart (D-2) and the planetary hour system share this etymological root. Each of the 168 weekly hours is governed by one of the seven Jyotish Grahas cycling in the Chaldean order, regardless of season or latitude.
Match your most important task to its governing planet's hour: Moon (Chandra) hours suit medical consultations and family decisions, as Chandra governs the mind and body fluids. Jupiter (Guru) hours boost financial launches and academic study. Mars (Mangal) hours provide drive for physical activity and competitive tasks. Venus hours inspire creative output. Saturn hours reward sustained, disciplined work over quick wins.
