Hora divides the day into 24 planetary hours — 12 day horas from sunrise to sunset, and 12 night horas from sunset to next sunrise. Each hora is governed by one of the 7 classical planets in a fixed sequence: Sun → Venus → Mercury → Moon → Saturn → Jupiter → Mars. Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and Moon horas are considered auspicious for starting important activities.
Mercury Hora is most favorable for business, trade, education and communication. Jupiter Hora is also excellent for financial matters.
Saturn Hora is generally inauspicious for new beginnings. Mars Hora should be avoided for auspicious events. However, these Horas suit tasks aligned with their nature.
Hora divides the day into 24 equal hours ruled by planets. Choghadiya divides only daylight into 8 parts. Both are used for Muhurat but follow different methods.
