Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 7:20 A.M., and last 47.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:45 P.M., lasting 72.9 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus retrograde in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio.
