Planetary Hours
How does the main screen of Planetary Hours work?
The main screen shows a clean, simple circle that tells you the current planetary hour, like 'Hour of the Sun,' along with a plain-English suggestion such as 'focus on personal goals.' You can also scroll through a day view to see all 24 hours and plan activities around the different energies.
Can I set reminders or alerts in Planetary Hours?
Yes, you can set custom alerts that notify you a few minutes before a specific planetary hour begins. For example, you can set an alert for the Venus hour in the evening to remind you to focus on connection, like putting your phone down and spending quality time with family.
The app's suggestions don't seem to match my schedule. What should I do?
The suggestions are general guidelines, not strict rules. Use them as flexible prompts—if a Mercury hour suggests communication but your kids need active play, just adjust your plans. The app is meant to inspire small shifts, not dictate your entire day.
Why isn't my Planetary Hours app updating the current hour correctly?
First, make sure your device's date and time are set to automatic in your iPhone settings. If the issue persists, try force-closing the app and reopening it, or restarting your phone. The app relies on accurate local time to calculate planetary hours based on sunrise and sunset.
How does Planetary Hours compare to other astrology or mindfulness apps like Time Nomad?
Planetary Hours is much simpler and more practical for everyday use—it focuses on the current hour's energy with plain-English tips, while Time Nomad offers deeper astrological data and transits. If you want a quick, low-commitment way to structure your day without diving into complex charts, Planetary Hours is the better choice.
