Today's table
Toronto runs on sunrise
Same time zone as New York, different sky. Toronto's hours start later and swing wider.
Toronto shares a time zone with New York but sits farther north and farther west, and both facts show up in the planetary hours. Sunrise comes later on the clock, and the seasons pull the hours further out of shape.
Today the day hours run about 53 minutes, the night hours about 68. The first hour belongs to Moon, then the Chaldean order turns through all seven classical planets.
If you split your life between Toronto and New York, the two tables are a quick lesson: same clock, different sky.

The long hours
Lake summer: long, generous hours
Try this today
- On a Thursday, find the Jupiter hour and use it to plan something ambitious.
- Compare Toronto's sunset with New York's page for the same day.
Around June 21, Toronto's Sun rises at 5:36 a.m. and sets at 9:02 p.m.. Each day hour is 77 minutes.
That late sunset is the giveaway. Toronto sits near the western side of the Eastern time zone, so its summer evenings run late on the clock. A Jupiter hour on a Thursday evening in June can land well after dinner.
We set Toronto's finder to Jupiter, the planet tradition gives to growth, generosity and big plans. Tap any other planet to see its next hours.
The short hours
Deep winter: tight, bright hours
Try this today
- In winter, check when the first hour starts. It may be after your commute.
- Use one long night hour for something you never seem to have time for.
By December 21, sunrise is at 7:47 a.m. and sunset at 4:43 p.m.. Each day hour shrinks to 45 minutes.
Toronto mornings in December start late, so the first planetary hour of the day often lands after people have already started work. If you like to begin the day in its ruler's hour, winter here means a later start than you might think.
The night hours stretch out in return, and a long winter evening carries hours that run well past sixty minutes.
Clock time vs Sun time
Clock changes and the planetary day
Toronto changes its clocks on March 8 and November 1 in 2026, the same weekends as New York. Planetary hours stay pinned to the Sun either way.
A useful habit for those weekends: look at the table on the Monday after the change. Everything will have jumped an hour on the clock, and the hours you had memorised will be off.
The 2026 extremes: earliest sunrise 5:35 a.m. on June 15, latest sunset 9:03 p.m. on June 26.

Why this default
The Jupiter hour, and Toronto
Why Jupiter for Toronto's default? Jupiter rules Thursday in the traditional week, and tradition ties it to growth, teaching, luck and generosity. It is a good planet to learn the system with because its hours feel like a natural time for planning. Think of it as a prompt for reflection, not a guarantee.

Quick answers
Are Toronto planetary hours different from New York's?
Yes. Same clock, but Toronto is farther north and west, so its sunrise and sunset differ, and so do all 24 hours. Compare the two pages for the same day.
Can I use these times in Mississauga or Hamilton?
Nearby places are within a few minutes. For exact times, use the main planetary hours calculator with your own location.
Do planetary hours change on daylight saving day in Canada?
No, they follow the Sun. On March 8 and November 1, 2026, the times simply show an hour different on the clock.
