    What is offered by the use of planetary hours? A way to time your social activities; a way to plan your business day for greater success; a way to make your travel safe and pleasurable; a way to avoid troublesome encounters; a way to make your life more productive and happy: all these are offered by the use of planetary hours. This is an ancient concept that is worth your attention in this age of advanced technology.

    The  Ancients studied sunrise and sunset because these, like local noon, were visible to the naked eye. The Ancients were aware that the ratio of day to night varied throughout the year. Twice a year, around the times of the Spring and Fall equinoxes, it was clear that night (dark) and day (light) were of equal times.

    From their studies, the Ancients elected  to divide the day into 24 "hours," and they assigned 12 of them to the period between sunrise and sunset, and 12 of them to the period between sunset and sunrise. These "hours" varied in length from day to day, and from week to week, depending on the season. Of  course, since these Ancients were astrologers, they named the "hours" (and the days of the week) after the Gods and the planets. In addition, over time, the Ancients attributed astrological characteristics to these "hours," and developed the concept of planetary hours.

    Early astrologers noted the speed of the planets as they appeared to move around the Earth. The slowest was Saturn, then Jupiter, then Mars. Next in speed came the Sun, which appeared to go around the Earth. After the Sun, in order of speed, came Venus, then Mercury, and, fastest of all, was the Moon. Notice the situation: seven planets and 24 "hours" to fill. There are no simple multiples of seven for a uniform arrangement. The sequence of seven planets can be repeated three times in a 24 hour day, with three more planetary hours remaining before the next sunrise.

    If we start with Saturday at sunrise, the first planetary hour sequence begins with Saturn, the slowest planet. Then, in increasing order of speed of the planets as perceived from the Earth, Saturn is followed by Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. This sequence on Saturdays is repeated twice more, and then, because  there are three "hours" left to complete 24 hours, the sequence finishes with Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. The next planet in order after Mars, to start  the next day, would be the Sun. In truth, sunrise on Sunday begins with the Sun hour. 

    This pattern continues, with sunrise on Monday beginning with the Moon hour, Tuesday beginning with the Mars hour, Wednesday with the Mercury hour, Thursday with the Jupiter hour, Friday with the Venus hour, and Saturday again beginning with the Saturn hour. Notice the planet that "rules" each day is assigned to the first Planetary Hour of that day. This concurrence leads one to believe that planetary hours were in use before days of the week were named.
