Planetary hours today

The planetary hours of today for your town: each day and each night split into twelve hours, each ruled by a planet, starting at sunrise.

What planetary hours are

Planetary hours are an old timing system in which each hour of the day and night is ruled by one of the seven classical planets. The rulers follow the Chaldean order, from slowest to fastest as seen from Earth: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon. The first hour of each day begins at local sunrise and belongs to the planet that rules that weekday, such as the Sun on Sunday or the Moon on Monday. Daylight is divided into twelve equal parts, and so is the night, so these hours are of unequal length. They change through the seasons, running long on summer days and short on winter ones. People use them to pick moments that match a planet's mood.
