Hora in Chicago today

Hora in Chicago today, Saturday, September 19, 2026, begins at sunrise, 6:35 AM, with the hour of Saturn, since a Saturday always opens on its own lord. Daylight here is 12 hr 18 min, so each of the twelve day horas is 1 hr 1 min; the night from 6:53 PM is 11 hr 43 min, so each night hora is 59 min. A "planetary hour" is only sixty minutes at the equinox.

The benefic hours in Chicago’s daylight today (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon) are Jupiter 7:37 AM – 8:38 AM, Venus 10:41 AM – 11:42 AM, Mercury 11:42 AM – 12:44 PM, Moon 12:44 PM – 1:45 PM, Jupiter 2:47 PM – 3:48 PM, Venus 5:51 PM – 6:53 PM. Sun, Mars and Saturn hours are used for their own kinds of work rather than avoided outright; the table gives each hour’s traditional use.
