For over 4,000 years, astrologers have known that each hour carries the energy of a ruling planet. The Chaldeans mapped it. The Greeks refined it. Now it's in your pocket. Planetary hours divide daylight and nighttime into 12 segments each, with each segment ruled by one of the seven classical planets. Unlike clock hours, these vary with the seasons — longer in summer, shorter in winter. Chaldean Order: Saturn → Jupiter → Mars → Sun → Venus → Mercury → Moon But planetary hours are only one layer. The same tradition gave us Choghadiya — seven-fold time segments used across India for choosing auspicious moments. It gave us Rahu Kala, the daily window where important tasks are best avoided. And it gave us the Vrata calendar — a rhythm of sacred fasting days tied to the lunar cycle. HoraNow brings all of these together in one place. ### Cosmic Timing Guide — Planets - **Sun** ☀️ — Vitality · Authority · Success.

Good for religious activities, worship, pilgrimage, charity, auspicious ceremonies. - **Labh** 💰 — Gainful. Excellent for business, trade, learning new skills, education, acquiring knowledge or wealth. - **Char** 🏃 — Variable / Movable. Suitable for journeys, physical activity, exercise. Results vary. - **Rog** 🤒 — Inauspicious. Avoid important activities. Good only for dealing with enemies or competition. - **Kaal** ⏳ — Inauspicious. Avoid starting new ventures. Best for destructive activities, ending bad habits, debt collection. - **Udveg** 😰 — Most Inauspicious. Avoid all important activities. Only suitable for government work or bureaucracy. ### Cosmic Timing Guide — Gowri Panchangam (South Indian / Tamil) Same 7 segments as Choghadiya, with Tamil naming conventions. Widely used in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh: - **Amritham** ✨ — Most Auspicious. Nectar time. - **Sukham** 🙏 — Auspicious. Comfort and happiness. - **Lābham** 💰 — Gainful. Profit and benefit. - **Dhanam** 🏃 — Variable. Wealth and prosperity. - **Rogam** 🤒 — Inauspicious. Disease and illness. - **Visham** ⏳ — Inauspicious. Poison and danger. - **Uthi** 😰 — Inauspicious.

A ~90-minute window falling once daily. Ideal for starting anything new. Named after the nectar of the gods. - **Rahu Kala** 🐍 — Inauspicious. Daily ~90-minute window varying by weekday. Avoid starting important tasks, signing contracts, beginning journeys. Most widely observed inauspicious period in Vedic tradition. - **Yamaganda Kalam** 💀 — Inauspicious. Another daily ~90-minute inauspicious window. Avoid critical decisions, medical procedures, new projects. - **Gulika Kalam** 🌑 — Minor Inauspicious. Less impactful than Rahu or Yamaganda, but still best avoided for important beginnings. Used specifically in South Indian astrology. In HoraNow, Kalas appear as colored bands on the Choghadiya timeline — green for auspicious, red for inauspicious. ### Features **Timing** - **Location Aware:** Accurate sunrise and sunset calculations based on your exact GPS coordinates. - **Live Countdown:** Real-time display shows exactly when the current planetary hour ends. - **Smart Notifications (Pro):** Get alerted before your favorite planetary hours begin.
