How the hora chart works in New York

The chart counts sixty-minute planetary hours from New York'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 New York from the same sunrise and sunset.
