The day runs from sunrise to sunrise. Daytime and night-time are each cut into twelve equal hours, so planetary hours are longer than 60 minutes in summer days and winter nights, shorter otherwise.

Each day shows the Moon’s phase and zodiac sign at local noon. Gold text marks the four main phases; the cyan bar marks a void-of-course stretch. Tap a day for details and its planetary hours.
ⓘAbout
Planetary hours. Each hour is ruled by one of the seven classical planets in the “Chaldean” order (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon). The first hour after sunrise belongs to the planet of the day, which is why Sunday is the Sun’s day, Monday the Moon’s, and so on.
Void of course. The Moon is void of course from its last exact major aspect (to the Sun through Saturn) until it enters the next sign. Tradition advises against starting important things then, and favours rest and review.
Sunrise and sunset use the standard 0.833° below the horizon and are typically within a few minutes of published tables. Times use a compact model (1900–2099). The uses listed are traditional, offered for reflection.
