What does today mean for you?
The panchang is the same for everyone in your city. Your kundli is not. Ask Mygrah's AI how today's planets touch your own chart.
What is a hora?
A hora is one twelfth of the daytime or night, so about an hour. Each hora is ruled by a planet in the Chaldean order: Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and then it repeats. The first hora after sunrise always belongs to the weekday's lord, which is how the weekdays got their names.
Which hora for what
- Sun: government work, meeting seniors, health routines
- Moon: travel, family, anything to do with water or the public
- Mars: sports, property, surgery, hard physical work
- Mercury: paperwork, writing, study, trade and calls
- Jupiter: puja, learning, advice, money matters, weddings
- Venus: buying clothes or jewellery, art, romance, parties
- Saturn: labour, repairs, old pending work. Avoid for new starts
