Hora (planetary hours)

Each hora here is a 60-minute planetary hour counted from sunrise — the classical Kala Hora sequence, where the first hora of the day belongs to the weekday's lord. Some panchangs instead divide day and night separately into twelve unequal horas each.

The sun rises in Houston at 06:34 today; horas run in sixty-minute steps from that moment — day horas until sunset at 20:22, night horas after. Being Sunday, the sequence opens with Sun and then repeats Sun → Venus → Mercury → Moon → Saturn → Jupiter → Mars through the full day. Horas of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon count as auspicious; those of the Sun, Mars and Saturn call for care with new beginnings.

How the hora chart works in Houston

The chart counts sixty-minute planetary hours from Houston's own sunrise, so its boundaries move with the season — a monsoon sunrise near six gives horas on the hour; a winter sunrise past seven shifts every boundary with it.

To use it, match the work to the lord: enduring beginnings and gold in Jupiter's hora, art and luxury in Venus's, trade and study in Mercury's, quiet household work in the Moon's. The Sun, Mars and Saturn horas are for their own domains — authority, contest, labour — not for fresh starts.

For weightier decisions, cross-check the running choghadiya and keep clear of Rahu Kalam — both are one line below, computed for Houston from the same sunrise and sunset.

Frequently asked questions

Which hora is running now in Houston?
Right now Houston is in the Mercury hora (Auspicious), which runs until 16:34. A new hora begins every sixty minutes, counted from sunrise at 06:34.
Which hora is good for new work today in Houston?
Pick a benefic hora from today's chart — Jupiter for lasting beginnings and finance, Venus for art and luxury, Mercury for trade and study, the Moon for gentle household matters — and keep the start clear of Rahu Kalam (18:39–20:22 today).
What time does the first hora start in Houston?
At the local sunrise — 06:34 today. Being Sunday, that opening hora belongs to Sun, the weekday's lord, and the fixed sequence follows from there.
Why is Houston's hora chart different from other cities?
Because horas count from the local sunrise. Houston's sunrise differs from every other city's, so the hora boundaries differ too, even though the sequence of lords is the same everywhere.
