Planetary Hours: Are They For Real?, and if they are, what is the mechanism Options

Hello all,

Trying to get that ugly brand of "3 posts probation" off of my avatar. Apparently replying doesn't count.

So, any thoughts on the planetary hours?

I was joking! I guess it's hard to get that across through text. This is my question, in more detail:

1. Who here has noticed that there does seem to be an effect, i.e., they've noticed in meetings that nothing gets done during a Moon hour, but when it switches to a Saturn hour people get down to business.

2. Given that the effect is there, what could be causing it? There is the traditional astrological explanation, but there could be other ones too.

Thank you to Tomber and Draw in the coffee shop for your responses.

I've put it down to a particular type of resonance that each of these hours has. I have considered experimenting with planetary hours to see what extra 'boost' they give to particular spells, but there are so many variables; moon phase, season, what day it is, position of planets, even the weather.

Disregarding evocation/invocation, where I imagine planetary hours play a bigger part, it's more the days themselves that I feel the biggest pull on magickal workings. And even the days don't feel as potent as the moon, though as I've been experimenting more with witchcraft recently that may not be surprising.

I'm interested to hear the thoughts of someone more practiced in planetary magick and whether they think planetary hours apply across the board outside of their general area.
