How horas work
Each day is divided into 24 horas — twelve across the day arc and twelve across the night arc. The first hora after sunrise belongs to the weekday's lord; the sequence then follows the classical planetary order. A hora is traditionally chosen to match its lord's nature — Jupiter's for growth, Mercury's for trade and learning, and so on.
