Twenty-four Hora periods — twelve in daylight, twelve at night — each ruled by one of the seven classical planets in a fixed repeating order that starts from the lord of the weekday.
Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.
For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Hora guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.
The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.
Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
Hora questions, answered
Which Hora is running right now in New Delhi?
The Saturn Hora is running now in New Delhi, from 8:53 PM to 9:57 PM. It is traditionally read as slow / restrictive.
What time does Hora start in New Delhi today?
The table above starts at sunrise in New Delhi, which is 6:29 AM today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, so the first period begins there rather than at midnight.
Why is Hora different in New Delhi than in Delhi?
Because the periods are divisions of the time between New Delhi's own sunrise and sunset, not a national table. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so a time computed for Delhi is wrong in New Delhi by a meaningful margin.
How many Hora periods are there?
24 are listed above for New Delhi — the full set covering sunrise to the next sunrise.
These windows are derived from local sunrise, so they differ by city. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
