Planetary Hours
How to find the planetary
hour...
...To work during the
day
- Find out what time the sun rises and sets.
- Multiply the number of hours by 60 minutes that a normal hour has. For
example: The sunrises at 6:00 a.m. and sets at 5:00 p.m. The eleven hours of
daylight by 60 equals 660 minutes.
- Divide the number of minutes of daylight by 12. It will tell you how long an
hour will last. 660 divided by 12 is 55. That means that each hour will last 55
minutes. Therefore, Hour 1 would be from 6:00 a.m. to 6:55 a.m. Hour 2 would be
from 6:55 a.m. to 7:45 a.m., and so forth.
...To work after
sunset
- Let's keep using the example above. The sun sets at 5:00 p.m. and rises the
next morning at 6:00 a.m. leaving us 13 hours of darkness.
- 13 hours equals 780 minutes.
- Divide 780 by 12 is 65. That means that each hour after sunset will last 65
minutes. Therefore, Hour 1 would be from 5:00 p.m. to 6:05 p.m. Hour 2 would be
from 6:05 p.m to 7:10 p.m., and so forth.
Check the type of working you wish to do, and consider the planetary
influence best suited for your work (see the chart for those magickal days). Now
find the day you chose to work your magick. Look at the sunrise/sunset planetary hour chart, and see what hour is best suited to work
your magick.
Why
bother?
By now you may be thinking this is too much hassle.
However, there are three good reasons for calculating planetary
influences:
- It brings you one step closer to a successful working when other things
might be working against you.
- It adds extra punch to minor magicks.
- It can give success if you're sick but still must perform anyway.
