Key timings for Tuesday, June 2
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 Madrid today, each daytime planetary hour lasts about 74 minutes (daylight of 14h 54m ÷ 12). The first hour after sunrise always belongs to the day's ruling planet, and the rest follow the Chaldean order.
Today in Madrid, sunrise is at 06:46 AM and sunset at 09:39 PM (Europe/Madrid). The day ruler is Mars — the planet that governs Tuesday and sets the tone for the day. Below you'll find every planetary hour for Madrid today, with the ruling planet and exact start time for each period.

Madrid is under Mars's influence today.
The day ruler is the planet that governs the first hour after sunrise, and its qualities colour the whole day. Today's themes are action, courage, competition. This doesn't mean the other planets vanish — they still take their turns through the hours — but Mars's energy is the dominant backdrop.
We pull precise astronomical sunrise (06:46 AM) and sunset (09:39 PM) times for Madrid's exact coordinates, then divide the daylight window by 12 to get the length of each daytime planetary hour (about 74 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 (Mars), and subsequent hours follow the Chaldean order. Because Madrid's sunrise and sunset shift daily, these hours are recalculated fresh every time you load this page.
