Hora, 24 Planetary Hours [Vedic Muhurta]

get_hora_today

[Vedic muhurta adjunct] 24 planetary hours per day, each ruled by one of 7 visible planets in Chaldean order (Saturn→Jupiter→Mars→Sun→Venus→Mercury→Moon). Day starts at sunrise; first hour = weekday's lord. Returns each hour's lord, quality, start/end UTC, interpretation, plus 'currentHora' for the moment you asked about. Pairs with Choghadiya for fine-grained timing. The astrological day runs sunrise to sunrise, so 'utc_offset_minutes' decides which civil day is meant and is required.
