First HoraSaturn
Saturday is ruled by Saturn, and the first Hora after sunrise belongs to Saturn too — that is what gives the day its character. Traditionally Saturday suits labour and long-term construction, iron and machinery, servants and staff, and acts of discipline or renunciation. Below is the full Panchang for the upcoming Saturday, calculated for Chennai.
