Hora is an ancient Vedic system that divides each day into 24 planetary hours, with 12 hours each for day and night. Unlike fixed clock hours, Hora periods vary based on sunrise and sunset times at your location.
Each Hora is ruled by one of the seven classical planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) in a specific sequence. The first Hora of the day is ruled by the weekday's planetary ruler, followed by the traditional Chaldean order.
