Planetary hours are an ancient Chaldean timekeeping system dividing each day and night into 12 unequal segments, each governed by one of the seven classical planets — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn. The ruling planet changes every hour and influences the energy of that time period.
The day is split into 12 equal parts between sunrise and sunset (day hours) and 12 equal parts between sunset and the next sunrise (night hours). Hour length varies by season and latitude. The first hour of each day is ruled by the weekday planet — Sun on Sunday, Moon on Monday, Mars on Tuesday, Mercury on Wednesday, Jupiter on Thursday, Venus on Friday, Saturn on Saturday.
Planetary hours are based on sunrise/sunset times, not zodiac positions, so they are identical in both sidereal and tropical astrology. The Chaldean sequence (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon) is independent of ayanamsa.
