Planetary hours are an ancient system of timekeeping that divides the day into 24 unequal hours, each ruled by one of the seven classical planets. This system dates back to Hellenistic astrology and was used extensively in medieval magic and alchemy.
Day Hours
The time between sunrise and sunset is divided into 12 equal parts. These "hours" are longer in summer and shorter in winter.
Night Hours
Similarly, the time from sunset to the next sunrise is divided into 12 equal parts, creating the night hours.
Chaldean Order
Planets follow the Chaldean order based on their apparent speed: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon.
Day Rulers
Each day of the week is named after its ruling planet. The first hour after sunrise is ruled by the day's planetary ruler.
Practical Use
Choose planetary hours that align with your intentions. For example, schedule important business meetings during Jupiter's hour for success, or begin creative projects during Venus's hour for beauty and harmony.
