What is Kabbalistic Cycles?

Kabbalistic Cycles is a planetary-hours astrology timing app that calculates your kabbalistic hours in real time for your exact location and shows you the best windows to act. It tells you which planet rules each hour, highlights favourable moments for important actions like conversations, contracts, and launches, and lets you set reminders so you never miss a good window.

What are kabbalistic (planetary) hours?

Kabbalistic hours, also called planetary hours, divide each day and night into segments that are each ruled by one of the seven classical planets — Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon. The ruling planet gives each hour a distinct energy, which the Kabbalistic tradition uses to choose the best timing for different actions.

How does the Kabbalistic Cycles app work?

The app uses your exact location and the local sunrise and sunset to calculate your personal planetary hours for the day. It shows a live schedule of which planet rules each hour, flags the strongest windows for the things you want to do, and can send reminders and sync those windows to your calendar. A built-in AI advisor answers questions and helps you plan around the cycles.

Is Kabbalistic Cycles free to use?

Yes. Kabbalistic Cycles is free to start and requires no credit card. Every new account also gets a 7-day Premium free trial with full access. After the trial your account automatically continues on the free plan — the daily and hourly planetary schedule, saved location, and manual add-to-calendar stay free forever. You can upgrade to Premium anytime.

Do I need to believe in astrology for it to work?

No. You do not have to believe in anything to use Kabbalistic Cycles — you just have to try it. Start acting during your favourable planetary hours and judge it by the results. Skeptics are welcome.

What tradition is Kabbalistic Cycles based on?

Kabbalistic Cycles is built on the rigorous kabbalistic planetary-hour framework outlined by Dr. Joseph C. Lisiewski in his book “Kabbalistic Cycles & The Mastery of Life.” The calculations follow the authentic tradition of the planetary hours and the Tree of Life, automated so you get accurate results in seconds instead of doing them by hand.

How much does Premium cost and what does it include?

Premium is $9.99 per month or $49 per year (save ~59% on the annual plan). Every new account starts with a 7-day Premium free trial, and you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Premium unlocks automatic Google Calendar sync, the unlimited AI kabbalistic advisor, and task and action planning, on top of everything in the free plan.

Can I sync planetary hours to my calendar?

Yes. Kabbalistic Cycles offers one-tap Google Calendar sync so you can add favourable planetary windows straight to your calendar and set reminders, making it easy to plan important actions around the best times.

Best Time to Ask for a Raise

You’ve earned it. You know you deserve it. But when do you walk into that meeting, send that email, or have that conversation? The planetary hours can give you an edge.

First choice: Jupiter hour

Jupiter is the planet of abundance, expansion, and success. It’s the strongest possible hour for financial requests. Jupiter energy makes authority figures more generous, more open to growth, and more likely to say yes.

Best day: Thursday (Jupiter’s day) — the first hour after sunrise is the most potent
Best for: salary negotiations, promotion conversations, bonus requests, contract renegotiations

Second choice: Sun hour

If you can’t time a Jupiter hour, Sun hours are the next best option. The Sun projects authority, confidence, and leadership. You come across as someone who deserves more — not someone who’s asking for a favor.

Best day: Sunday
Best for: situations where presence and gravitas matter — board-level meetings, executive reviews

For job interviews specifically

Interviews are slightly different from raise requests. You’re not just asking for money — you’re communicating your value. Consider layering:

Jupiter hour if you want the job to feel like a natural expansion of your career
Mercury hour if the interview is heavily verbal (presentations, case studies) and you need your communication to be razor-sharp
Venus hour if the interview is about culture fit and likability

Hours to AVOID

Saturn — the worst possible hour to ask for more. Saturn restricts, compresses, and says no. Your manager will feel cautious and tight-fisted. Do not ask for a raise during Saturn hours.
Mars — the conversation will feel combative. Even if you get the raise, you may damage the relationship. Negotiations during Mars tend to leave scars.
Moon — too unstable. Promises made during Moon hours are more likely to be walked back later.

The practical approach

Decide your ask and prepare your case (any time — prep has no planetary constraint)
Check your planetary hours for the day in Kabbalistic Cycles
Schedule the meeting during a Jupiter hour if possible, Sun as backup
If you can’t control the meeting time: send the initial request email during a Jupiter hour instead

You can’t control whether they say yes. But you can give the moment the best possible energy to work with.
