Planetaro is a planetary hours calculator and lunar calendar for people who plan their days with astrology. Each day is divided into unequal hours from sunrise to sunset, and each hour belongs to one of the seven classical planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and Moon. See which planet rules the current hour, what that hour stands for in traditional astrology, and where the Moon is right now. Also in the app: • Moon sign and Void of Course: the Moon's current zodiac sign and its void periods, so you know before you plan • Planner: pick a day, a city and an activity (love, work, friends, focus, energy, family) and see the hours that match • Widgets for iPhone and iPad, complications for Apple Watch • Siri and Shortcuts: ask for the current planetary hour, the Moon phase, void of course or the hours for an activity • Notifications for the planetary hours you choose • Themes, automatic or manual location The planetary hours, planet cards, notifications, the current Moon phase, some widgets and the Apple Watch app are included. Planetaro Pro, an optional in-app purchase, unlocks the rest.
