How it is calculated

The first hora after sunrise belongs to the lord of the weekday. The rest follow the Chaldean order — Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon — repeating. Day horas are one-twelfth of the daylight; night horas one-twelfth of the night up to the next sunrise, so they are rarely exactly an hour.

Times can differ by a minute from other almanacs, which calculate sunrise slightly differently.
