Planetary hours
in Rome.

The day, from sunrise to sunset, is cut into twelve equal hours; so is the night, from sunset to the next sunrise. Each hour carries a planet, in the Chaldean order. A planetary hour therefore lasts 60 minutes only at the equinoxes: it all depends on the date and the city. Here are the exact hours for your city; what you do with them is up to you.

Questions

How are the planetary hours calculated in Rome?

On Saturday, 11 July 2026, the Sun rises at 05:44 and sets at 20:45: the day lasts 15h 01m, that is twelve day hours of 1h 15m. The night, until the next sunrise at 05:45, lasts 9h 00m: twelve night hours of 45 min.

Which planet rules the first hour that day?

Saturn, from 05:44 to 06:59: the first hour of a day always goes to the planet of the weekday. The next ones follow the Chaldean order: Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, then Saturn again.
