WHAT ARE PLANETARY HOURS (HORAS)?
An ancient timing system used for thousands of years to identify favorable moments for important activities. Each day divides into 24 unequal hours – 12 daylight, 12 nighttime – with each ruled by one of seven classical planets. Calculated from sunrise and sunset times at your exact location.
• Saturn – Structure, discipline, long-term planning
• Jupiter – Growth, wisdom, expansion, luck
• Mars – Energy, courage, action, competition
• Sun – Leadership, vitality, success
• Venus – Love, beauty, harmony, finances
• Mercury – Communication, intellect, travel
• Moon – Intuition, emotions, creativity
WHAT ARE KALAS?
Specific time windows in Vedic astrology considered highly auspicious or inauspicious
• Rahu Kala – Inauspicious period, avoid new beginnings
• Yamaganda – Time of obstacles, best avoided for important tasks
• Gulika – Saturn's influence, unfavorable for ventures
• Abhijit Muhurta – Most auspicious midday window, ideal for any activity

The traditional Hindu almanac describing the five limbs of time based on Sun and Moon positions:
• Tithi – Lunar day (30 divisions of the lunar month)
• Nakshatra – Lunar mansion (27 divisions of the ecliptic)
• Yoga – Sun-Moon combination (27 yogas)
• Karana – Half of a Tithi (60 per lunar month)
• Vara – Weekday and its planetary ruler
Includes Choghadiya/Gowri Panchangam – dividing day and night into 8 equal periods each, ruled by planets, with quality ratings:
• Amrit (Nectar) – Very auspicious, best for important beginnings
• Shubh – Auspicious, favorable for growth
• Labh – Profit and gain, good for business
