It is important to know when the best time is to perform rituals of all kinds, such as consecrating an item like a talisman or amulet, working a spell, or a prayer for something in particular. You can prepare for the right time by using the following charts.

Determine the need for the ritual - let's say that you are going to court and want to have a candle burning ceremony to help prepare yourself.

 

1. First, select the best day for the ceremony from the first chart. We'll say it's an accounting matter and use Wednesday (you could use Sunday which is appropriate for all legal matters but we'll use Wednesday for this example).
2. Now go to chart two and find which planet rules your sign. Let's say you're a Cancer and you're ruled by the Moon.
3. Now go to chart three and find the best time on Wednesday to perform the ceremony. There are instructions at the bottom of this page that explains how to use chart three. Using the example in those instructions, the first time on Wednesday I should use for my ceremony (because it is the hour of the Moon) would be the second daylight hour which falls between 8:12AM and 9:08AM (see instructions). Of course I could also wait until the 9th daylight hour or until the 4th or 11th hour of darkness by calculating those times.
4. Once you have your day and hour calculated. Get everything ready so you can begin on time.
