Of these rulers, Jupiter rules the 9th hour; Mars the 10th hour; the Sun the 11th hour; Venus the 12th hour; Mercury the 13th hour; the Moon the 14th hour; Saturn the 15th hour; Jupiter the 16th hour; Mars the 17th hour; the Sun the 18th hour; Venus the 19th hour; Mercury the 20th hour; the Moon the 21st hour; Saturn the 22nd hour; Jupiter the 23rd hour; and Mars the 24th hour.
