Planetary hours · Rome (Italy)

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 Friday, 5 May 2028, the Sun rises at 06:00 and sets at 20:13: the day lasts 14h 13m, that is twelve day hours of 1h 11m. The night, until the next sunrise at 05:59, lasts 9h 46m: twelve night hours of 49 min.

Venus, from 06:00 to 07:11: the first hour of a day always goes to the planet of the weekday. The next ones follow the Chaldean order: Mercury, the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, then Venus again.
