Australian planetary hours follow the same system used worldwide, but the times shift depending on the city. Sunrise and sunset determine each planetary hour, so every state in Australia has unique timings.
In Adelaide on a Saturday, the first planetary hour of Saturn begins at 7:11am and ends at 8:13am. In Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth, Australian planetary hours start and finish at different times.
This variation happens because planetary hours divide both day and night into twelve unequal sections, always tied to the local rising and setting of the sun. If you want accurate Australian planetary hours, you must calculate them for your specific location and date.
What are Planetary Hours
Planetary hours form an ancient astrology system that uses the planets to measure time. At first glance, Australian planetary hours can look overwhelming, but they become easy once you weave them into daily practice and spell timing.
Each day belongs to a ruling planet, creating what we call planetary days. The starting planetary hour always begins with that day’s ruler. For example, on Monday the Moon rules, so the first planetary hour belongs to the Moon. On Tuesday, Mars takes over, and the first hour begins with Mars instead.
The hours then follow the Chaldean Order, an ancient sequence based on the visible speed of the planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Moon. Australian planetary hours repeat this cycle through the day and night, always beginning with the ruling planet of the day.
Calculating Planetary Hours
Figuring out which planet rules which hour may feel complicated at first, but learning Australian planetary hours becomes simple once you break it down. Planetary hours use the Chaldean Order to divide time, a system of planetary movement deeply rooted in astrology. It can lead down many rabbit holes, but for spell timing you only need the basics.
Planetary hours divide the day into two periods: Day (from sunrise to sunset) and Night (from sunset to the next sunrise). Each period holds twelve planetary hours, and their length shifts with the season and your location.

Time Your Magic
Timing your spells with planetary hours adds another layer of strength to your intention. When you align your magic with Australian planetary hours, moon phases, and the Zodiac, you create powerful astrology-based spell timing that supports manifestation.
I encourage you to use every tool at hand to empower your path, but remember that planetary hours are optional. Your magic does not need strict planetary days or hours to work. Trust your craft, follow what calls to you, and let your spell remain your own.
