Namaste
1. Prof. Korada has rightly pointed to a significant issue in ‘Samskruth to Hindi’ – Concept-Trans-mapping Error’ flowing down to ‘ English translation’ and ‘Anglicized Astrology’ practice.
< The above statement of केदारदत्त जोशी cannot be taken as प्रमाणम् for obvious reasons -- no शास्त्रम् , no निघण्टु is quoted . >
2. To understand the Technicality of ‘ Hora’ in practice, one may explore the link below. This is from practitioner of traditional vedanga jyotisha as well as ‘software designer’:
Parasara's Hora Chart Decoded | FREE Modern Astrology Lessons (indianastrologysoftware.com) –
https://blog.indianastrologysoftware.com/parasaras-hora-chart-decoded/
The link invokes ‘Parashara’ : suryendvorvisame rasu same tadviparltakam I pitarascandrahoresa devah suryasya klrtitah I raserardham bhaveddhora tascaturvimsatih smrtah I mesadi tasarh horanam parivrttidvayam bhavet I
Meaning, Lords of Horas are the Sun and the Moon in odd signs and the reverse holds good in even signs. The deities corresponding to the lunar and solar Horas are pitris (ancestral manes) and the gods. Half of a sign is a Hora. There are 24 of those remembered. Starting from Aries, two cycles of Zodiac occur with those 24 Horas.
3. Regards Many times, quoting a 'traditional text and view' is not enough to satisfy the person making the query.
Read more on what ' Hour' in Western /European/ UK astrology means. [ https://www.lunarium.co.uk/articles/planetary-hours/ ] . https://llewellyn.com/journal/article/2868
At the first glance, the planetary hours are similar to the ordinary hours which all of us are used to. A planetary day consists of 24 planetary hours, and an ordinary day consists of 24 hours. But here similarity ends.
A planetary day begins at the moment of sunrise in the given place, while ordinary day begins at midnight. Since the moment of sunrise is generally different for different places, every place on the Earth has its own planetary day, while ordinary day is the same for all the places in the same time zone.
When centuries ago Gregorian calendar was adopted in many countries of Europe, special care was taken to ensure that the sequence of the days of the week, and the sequence of their planetary rulers, remained unaltered. So it can be said that this sequence comes to us from time immemorial. This sequence of the planetary rulers of the days of the week follows the beams of the seven-point star, or heptagram, also known as the Star of the Magi: The sequence is well known to traditional astrologers: arka-shukro-budhah -soumyo-mando -jivo-dharasutrah'.
Ordinary hours always have the same continuity (60 minutes), while the length of planetary hours varies around the year, and a day hour is usually not equal to a night hour (these are equal to each other, as also to ordinary hour, only twice a year — at the Vernal Equinox, around the 21st of March, and at the Autumnal Equinox, around the 22nd of September). Planetary hours depend on the date and the location. Let the date be the 28th of June and the location — Glasgow, UK. Figures will be different for other places and dates.
In the contemporary astrology planetary days and hours were almost forgotten, and only in Horary Astrology and Elections they are still being used by some practitioners. But in the other Esoteric Arts like Magic and Alchemy, as also in Herbalism, to know the appropriate day and hour can be of crucial importance. Famous British astrologer and herbologist Nicholas Culpeper advised to collect herbs in the appropriate planetary hour, corresponding to the planetary ruler of the herb. This is because the energy of the ruling planet is stronger in its hour, so the healing properties of the collected herb will be stronger too.
Mark Stavish, the author of the wonderful book "The Path of Alchemy" writes that "planetary hours are a critical part of natural magic and alchemy" and throughout the book instructs the reader to do every operation in its appropriate day and hour, to be able to concentrate the subtle energy of the desired planet.
Likewise in all schools of Magic planetary hours and days are by all means taken into account when making talismans or performing a ritual. For example, a Sun talisman will be necessarily made on the day and hour of the Sun.
You can also use this ancient knowledge when planning something important in your life. The main rule is quite simple: the planet that rules the day and the hour promotes those activities which are in tune with its principle and can impede those activities which are of the opposite nature.
