Step 1: open today's table for your city
Open the Hora timing page, type your city and pick the date. Always use the city where the task happens — a video call from Pune uses Pune's sunrise, not the other person's.
Step 2: match the task to a planet
Decide what kind of task it is — money, study, family, travel, a signature — and look up which planet traditionally suits it in our Hora meanings guide. For example: a study session in Mercury Hora, a puja in Jupiter Hora, a jewellery purchase in Venus Hora.
Step 3: pick a Hora that fits your day
Each planet returns about every 7 Horas, so most planets come up three or four times in 24 hours. Choose the one that falls in working hours. The table's 'Now' tag shows which Hora is running at this moment.
Step 4: start inside the Hora
What counts is the start of the task — sending the email, signing, stepping out. Give yourself a few minutes' margin after the Hora starts and before it ends, because sunrise times from any source can differ by a minute or two.
Step 5: add your own numbers
In numerology each number has a ruling planet — for example Mulank 1 with the Sun, 2 with the Moon, 3 with Jupiter. Many people prefer the Hora of their own Mulank planet for personal work. Find your Mulank with our free calculator.
Common mistakes
Using a fixed chart that starts at 6 am with one-hour blocks: it drifts by up to an hour or more from the real Horas.
Forgetting that the Vedic day starts at sunrise, so 3 am on Tuesday is still part of Monday's night Horas.
Treating Hora as the only factor for major decisions. For marriage, property or business launches, ask a numerologist to check the full picture. Pending review: these meanings are drawn from common Vedic practice and still await review by NumberHealer's numerologist.
