This application will be of use to all members of the magical community: Golden Dawn, Rosicrucians, Thelemites of the OTO, Hermeticists, Jewish mystics, Gnostics, Goetic practitioners, Grimoire workers, practitioners of the occult, self made magicians, anyone who is a witch, wizard, sorceror or spiritualist, and many more! The planetary hours use the Chaldean order to divide time. Each planetary hour of the planetary day is ruled by a different planet. The planet that rules the first hour of the day is also the ruler of the whole day and gives the day its name. Thus the first hour of Sunday is ruled by the Sun, the first hour of Monday is ruled by the Moon and so on. However, planetary hours are not the same as the sixty-minute hours that we use for normal time-keeping. The day is split into two periods, daytime and nighttime. Sunrise to sunset is considered daytime. Sunset to sunrise of the next day is nighttime. Then these two periods are each divided into twelve equal length hours, which are the planetary hours. The planetary hours of the day and the planetary hours of the night will be of different lengths except on the Equinoxes, when light and darkness are balanced. Each planetary hour is associated with a planet. These can be used to fine-tune a magickal working. This is one step up from performing magick on the day ruled by the planet best suited for the goal. This will give you a specific hour to work the magick. Find all the planetary hours: Luna / Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sol / Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn! ## Key features - Calculates planetary hours - Uses Chaldean order - Associates hours with planets - Supports occult practitioners - Helps fine-tune magical workings - Identifies rulers of the day ## Recent user reviews (10 of 20) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/planet-hours/id399343304/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Excellent BUT…….. *2022-05-09, version 2.0* You may need to manually input your latitude and longitude. ### 2/5 — Not a fan … *2022-03-02* I have a number of tools, some old-school manual and a couple new-school digital, I use to know the planetary hours amongst other astrological data. I wanted a simple tool to use with others on my device so I can immediately know planetary hours data for a particular location, not my home. This simple concept app is unfortunately slaved to the GPS requiring the user to manually import the coordinates. Yet one cannot ascertain if it accurately calculated the coordinates since there is no visual (simple map-based) confirmation. If that physical data cannot be verified I cannot verify the hours are accurate unless I compare it with other trusted tools, which to be blunt, I am not going to do when I pay for something, regardless the price. I immediately removed it from my device. 99 USA cents wasted. I am leaving 2 stars because it is a good effort for a penny less than a dollar … but I am not a fan. Blessings. ### 5/5 — Works as expected *2020-09-03, version 2.0* Make sure you allow it access to your location and update the gos and you are good to go. Nice tool at reasonable price. ### 1/5 — Not updated for a long time *2020-04-11* Same app is updated for android, so this is paid on android is free. On android there are extra Information for example it says the hour where the planet is active example Jupiter 13:34 to 14:32 ... no like this one; and this out of date version don’t explain anything about the planet. Come on guys be fair and update this app soon. ### 4/5 — Does what you need *2019-07-20, version 2.0* Displays hours for the day/night and you can choose a date specifically to see the hours on another day past or present. ### 4/5 — Comes in handy *2019-07-05* Great app. Simple to use. Seems accurate and takes the guess work out of which planetary hour were operating in. Suggestions for improving this app: would like the option to mute the page-turning sound without having to put my phone on vibrate; it's annoying when flipping between pages within the app. Maybe also add the ability to permanently change the volume as a setting (similar to Google Maps where the audio can be set to low, med, & high). That way I don't have to lower the volume each time I want to use the app. Also: Would love to see this become a more complete application where we can see upcoming void of moon events and moon phases. And finally: Under the legend, it would be nice to see the correspondences of each planet in the legend; The names of each planet in the legend seem redundant or unnecessary since anyone using this app should know what each planetary symbol means. Anyways, it's a great app, it's simple and easy to use, but it has lots of room for improvement. ### 5/5 — Perfect for any magician *2019-03-26* I really appreciate this app, it has helped take the guesswork out and empowered my magic ### 2/5 — Could use improvements *2018-12-13, version 2.0* Not sure on this one, it doesn’t seem to make any sense and the hours seem to be all over the place. I don’t know if it’s accurate or not.. ### 1/5 — Scam?! *2015-02-26* I got this app because I thought it would be something I could use but it won't even load.You took my money,the icon is on my screen but I get nothing.Id give you less than one star if I could.I went to your app support and all that's there is you bragging about how great this app is.You got my money so I guess I'm just supposed to go away.Avoid this app unless you enjoy paying for something you can't even use. **Developer response:** This application has been updated and your reported issue is now resolved.
