Hora (planetary hours)

Each hora here is a 60-minute planetary hour counted from sunrise — the classical Kala Hora sequence, where the first hora of the day belongs to the weekday's lord. Some panchangs instead divide day and night separately into twelve unequal horas each.

The sun rises in San Jose at 06:42 today; horas run in sixty-minute steps from that moment — day horas until sunset at 19:32, night horas after. Being Friday, the sequence opens with Venus and then repeats Sun → Venus → Mercury → Moon → Saturn → Jupiter → Mars through the full day. Horas of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon count as auspicious; those of the Sun, Mars and Saturn call for care with new beginnings.

How the hora chart works in San Jose

The chart counts sixty-minute planetary hours from San Jose's own sunrise, so its boundaries move with the season — a monsoon sunrise near six gives horas on the hour; a winter sunrise past seven shifts every boundary with it.

To use it, match the work to the lord: enduring beginnings and gold in Jupiter's hora, art and luxury in Venus's, trade and study in Mercury's, quiet household work in the Moon's. The Sun, Mars and Saturn horas are for their own domains — authority, contest, labour — not for fresh starts.

For weightier decisions, cross-check the running choghadiya and keep clear of Rahu Kalam — both are one line below, computed for San Jose from the same sunrise and sunset.
