A66: New Series! Sun Hora - Leadership, Vitality, Buying/Selling & A Mantra Practice
Today begins a new series on how to best manage your time and energy applying the Vedic Astrology teachings of Hora. No matter what your birth chart is like, hora effects us all.
Hora is a branch of Jyotish that suggests there are certain times of the day when auspicious actions such as marriage, investments, business transactions, asset purchases, journeys, relationships, meetings and medical treatments can be taken.
The Hora is the duration in a day (the duration between sunrise to sunset is divided by 12 equal parts and the next session from the sunset to the sunrise is considered the other 12 parts of the Hora), ruled by a particular planet. In a week, on every day, starting from the dawn to dusk, there are 24 Horas ruled by seven planets. Sun hora begins at sunrise on Sunday. Moon at sunrise on Monday, and so on.
This series will help you understand the rolling planet of each hour of the day. When you align yourself with these energies your actions are in alignment with the cycles of the planets. I encourage you to experiment with this and find how it feels resonant for you. If you have a significant task to complete, you may find it helpful to chant the mantra associated with that ruling planet. In each episode I will share a mantra for each planet.
The hora is about one hour for each planetary period, repeating in this order:
Sun Venus Mercury Moon Saturn Jupiter Mars
Today I will share all about the Sun hora
When does this hora begin? What activities are favorable during this hora? What activities are not favorable during this hora? What is the mantra for this hora?
