THE HORA AND IT’S USAGE
THE HORA AND IT’S USAGE
Our ancient Hindu Astrologers had subdivided each Sign of the Zodiac into two
halves , and called each division as a Hora . Thus , roughly 1 hour is
needed for each Hora to pass the meredian or rise in the East.
But Hindu Astrologers did not measure time in hours and minutes .They used
Ghatis and Vighatis…One day thus had 60 Ghatis , and each sign , thus takes
approximately 5 Ghatis , and half a sign , or a Hora will be about
2 and a half ghatis …
The Chaldeans in the remote ancient times had acquired considerable knowledge
of the stars and the framing of the Zodiac was done by them…and gathered
considerable knowledge about the influence of planets over the people . They
also found that certain hours were favorable for certain matters and
certain , unfavorable for some matters…This method of prediction is called
‘Hora’…and had laid down certain axioms even before the
era of Moses or even “The Book of Genesis”…
