What are planetary hours?

Daylight divided into twelve equal parts and the night into twelve more, so an hour is rarely sixty minutes and changes with the season. Each is ruled by a planet in an old fixed order, starting at sunrise with the ruler of the day: the Sun on Sunday, the Moon on Monday, and so on. This is why the hours depend on where you are standing, not where you were born.

Where you see this in OrbHeaven

Your own chart is calculated from your birth details, and this definition is written out again there with your numbers in it rather than in the abstract. The chart, the glossary and thirty days of dated timeline are free, and nothing here is charged per question.

About a minute. Birth time optional, and no account until after you have seen it.

The sky moving

Everything that happens after you are born, which is where dates come from.
