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, 27 April 2029, the Sun rises at 06:11 and sets at 20:04: the day lasts 13h 53m, that is twelve day hours of 1h 09m. The night, until the next sunrise at 06:10, lasts 10h 06m: twelve night hours of 50 min.

Which planet rules the first hour that day?

Venus, from 06:11 to 07:20: 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.
