Many people are familiar with the concept of the planetary hours, especially those who are dealing with the traditional practices, like herbalism, magick, alchemy, or astrology, and who know that it is important to do things at a particular moment in time. If the nature of what you are doing will correspond to the area of responsibility of the planetary ruler of the hour, your actions will become more successful, the results will be more rewarding, as the Nature itself will be assisting you.
If you think about it, you don't really need to be interested in some traditional practices to be able to benefit from the planetary hours — you can apply this knowledge to the actions and decisions of your daily life!
This course will teach you everything there is to know about what the planetary hours are and how to define them, what are the responsibilities of different planets, and what are their correspondences in the surrounding world. In addition, you'll learn about the planetary days, the higher level construct built from the hours, and the planetary years, a still higher level construct. They too can be meaningful in certain ways.
The important piece of knowledge that was mostly forgotten in the contemporary practices is that planetary hours can be more or less potent depending on the current condition of the ruling planet, and this course will restore the justice by thoroughly explaining what this means, and how to use this knowledge.
Finally, you will learn about the significance of the planetary hour (and the planetary day), when a person was born, and how to use this knowledge both in healing and for better psychological understanding.
Welcome to the course, I hope you will enjoy it and find it very useful!
