A planetary hour isn't the same as an hour on your clock. Rather than cutting the day into fixed sixty-minute slices, it divides daylight and darkness into twelve parts each — stretching or shrinking with the sun itself. Every one of these twenty-four hours belongs to a different planet, cycling in order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon.
Whichever planet holds the hour lends it a character — Mercury favors words, Venus favors love, Mars favors boldness, Saturn favors endings.
