Hora Today
Hora is the Vedic planetary hour. The 24 horas begin at sunrise, and each one is ruled by one of the seven planets. A simple way to use them is to match the task to a suitable ruler: choose a Jupiter hora to open an account, for example, or a Mercury hora to study or send an important message.

What each Hora favours
Sun favours authority, dealings with officials and matters of status. Moon favours travel, water, home and emotional matters. Mars favours courage, property, machinery and disputes.

How the Horas are ordered
The weekday’s lord rules the first hora: Sunday opens with the Sun, Monday with the Moon, and so on. The remaining horas repeat in Chaldean order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and Moon. A hora lasts roughly an hour, with small seasonal changes based on the length of the day. The table below gives exact times for the place and date shown.
FAQ
What is a Hora?
A Hora is a planetary hour — one of the 24 hours of the day, each governed by a planet whose nature colours what that hour is good for.
How long is one Hora?
About one hour. The daylight and night are each divided so the length flexes slightly with the season, but a hora is close to a clock hour.
Which planet rules the first Hora of the day?
The lord of the weekday itself — the Sun on Sunday, the Moon on Monday, Mars on Tuesday, and so on.
How do I use the Hora for timing?
Match the task to a sympathetic planet — a Jupiter hora for finance or study, a Venus hora for the arts or relationships, a Mercury hora for communication and trade.
