Sunrise to Sunset - 12 planetary hora periods
Sunset to Sunrise - 12 planetary hora periods
Hora timings for Mumbai on Sunday, Jul 12, 2026 are calculated from local sunrise and sunset, so each planetary hour follows the real day length for that location.
Hora is the Vedic way of splitting day and night into twelve planetary hours each. The same idea is often called Horai—especially in South Indian usage—and you may see older spellings like horah in transliteration. Each segment is ruled by one of the seven classical planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn), and that ruler colours the hour as generally helpful or best avoided for a given task. In everyday speech, people often ask for shubh hora or subha horai when they mean a favourable planetary hour, not a fixed clock-time that ignores sunrise.
Day Hora opens at sunrise and runs until sunset, split into twelve equal parts by time (not by a 60-minute clock). Night Hora runs from sunset to the next sunrise the same way. The first Hora of the weekday follows the planetary lord of that day—Sunday begins with the Sun, Monday with the Moon—then the lords repeat in the usual Chaldean sequence: Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars. The rows above list each hora time window for your date and city.
When someone asks for shubh hora timing—or spells it subha horai—they are usually pointing to the hours of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, or the Moon. Those tend to be chosen for new work, money matters, travel, or signing anything important. Sun and Mars hours can be strong for bold action but feel sharp; Saturn’s hour is rarely picked to start something brand-new, though it suits steady, repetitive effort.
Treat the day and night tables as a simple hora chart: each block is one planetary hour with its exact start and end. You do not need a separate hora chart calculator—sunrise and sunset for your location drive the divisions, and the page updates when you change city or date. Then match the task to the planet, not the other way around.
Do not assume every Hora is exactly sixty minutes. Day and night are divided separately from sunrise to sunset and sunset to next sunrise, so the duration changes by season and location.
