Understanding Planetary Hours in Karachi
Planetary hours are an ancient timing system that divides each day into 24 unequal periods — 12 during daylight and 12 at night — each governed by one of seven classical planets. Unlike clock hours, their length shifts with the seasons: in Karachi today, each daytime planetary hour lasts about 63 minutes (daylight of 12h 40m ÷ 12). The first hour after sunrise always belongs to the day's ruling planet, and the rest follow the Chaldean order.
Today in Karachi, sunrise is at 06:12 AM and sunset at 06:52 PM (Asia/Karachi). The day ruler is Moon — the planet that governs Monday and sets the tone for the day. Below you'll find every planetary hour for Karachi today, with the ruling planet and exact start time for each period.

How We Calculate Planetary Hours for Karachi
We pull precise astronomical sunrise (06:12 AM) and sunset (06:52 PM) times for Karachi's exact coordinates, then divide the daylight window by 12 to get the length of each daytime planetary hour (about 63 minutes today). The night period — sunset to the next morning's sunrise — is split into 12 in the same way.
The first hour after sunrise is assigned to the day ruler (Moon), and subsequent hours follow the Chaldean order. Because Karachi's sunrise and sunset shift daily, these hours are recalculated fresh every time you load this page.
