The planetary hours system assumes that the day begins at sunrise, and the night begins at sunset. Each half of the cycle contains exactly 12 planetary hours. Therefore, it is necessary to know when sunrise and sunset occur on the day in question. In order to determine sunrise and sunset, you must also know the latitude, the longitude, and the correct timezone.

Table of Planetary Subhours

Each planetary hour can be divided into seven equal subhours. The first subhour begins with the planet that rules the hour. The "Chaldean planetary" order is then continued through the remaining six subhours.

Sepharial discussed planetary subhours in Cosmic Symbolism, Chapter XVI -- Planetary hours (pg 161). He also discusses planetary hours in The Kabala of Numbers I (Chapter VIII -- Reduction to Law) and in The Kabala of Numbers II (Chapter VII -- The Law of Periodicity).

If you look at the Saturn column, you will see that the planets are arranged in the "Chaldean order" of decreasing velocity. The Sun takes the place of the Earth.
