Planetary Days & Hours

Planetary hours and days is a term used for which planet rules each day and each hour of that day. Planetary hours are a little harder to calculate, since originally we did not view time and days the same way as we do now. There are many online planetary hour calculators, or if you  have an iphone you can download the app Time Nomad which will give you notifications for the shift of the planetary hour, it also will allow you to install widgets to your home screen for both the planetary day and hour.

Just like the planets influence our life, personalities and events, they also have rulership over our days and time. Being familiar with the flow of planetary rulerships over the days and hours can be useful for manifestation, planning, making offers/decisions, and a wide variety of other useful ways! You can also calculate which planetary day and hour you were born on, to further your knowledge of your personal rulerships/personal planets.

Saturday | Saturn:
Saturn rules strucure. stability, wisdom, responsibility, and learning lessons the hard way. On the positive, this is good energy for seeking advice, especially if the other person in older than you. These energies are good for planning your future, and sitting with your thoughts to address a problem. On the negative, now isn't a good time to borrow money, make a promise, or any commitments - this is because Saturn is slow and can cause delays. If you sign a contract to start building a house during Saturn day or Saturn hour - you can expect many road blocks and issues that will need to be fixed. Saturn rewards hard work, so his main rulership is to make something as complicated as possible in order for you to truly appreciate it once it's finished or passed. This is ironically the day most people experience hangovers.
