Planetary hours

Also called planetary days, day rulers

Each daytime and night-time divided into twelve unequal hours, each ruled by a planet in Chaldean order.

The first hour of each day is ruled by the planet the day is named after, which is where the order of the weekdays comes from (Saturday, Sunday, Monday...). Used in electional and horary work.
