There is a day time birth and Night time birth and a day is divided into 2 halfs of 12 hours each making it 24 hours which is called as DAY. DAY means from Sunrise of the previous day to Sunrise of the Next day=24 hours.

Depending whether a person is born in a day or night the length of the day and night is divided into 8 equal parts

Let us say a person is born on Thursday then the 8 part ruler as follows as per the DAY TIME. Here in the day time the order of the planets are normal as Sun/Moon/Mars and so on

Weekday 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th

Sun Su Mo Ma Me Ju Ve Sa -

Mon Mo Ma Me Ju Ve Sa - Su

Tue Ma Me Ju Ve Sa - Su Mo

Wed Me Ju Ve Sa - Su Mo Ma

Thursday Ju Ve Sa - Su Mo Ma Me

Friday Ve Sa - Su Mo Ma Me Ju

Saturday Sa - Su Mo Ma Me Ju Ve

NIGHT TIME:The order of the planetary table is taken as the 5th day from the day when the native is born

Weekday 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th

Sunday Ju Ve Sa - Su Mo Ma Me

Monday Ve Sa - Su Mo Ma Me Ju

Tuesday Sa - Su Mo Ma Me Ju Ve

Wednesday Su Mo Ma We Ju Ve Sa -

Thursday Mo Ma Me Ju Ve Sa - Su

Friday Ma Me Ju Ve Sa - Su Mo

Saturday Me Ju Ve Sa - Su Mo Ma

The table is used to identify the longitude of Upgrahas like Mrityu/Arth Prahara/Gulika/Yama Gantaka and Mandi

I was born on Thursday in the morning time hence we have to see the day time table and go to the Row where Thursday is written and first part is ruled by Jupiter. Dividing the 12 hours/8 we get 1.5 hence when the birth time is 9:43 AM then the first part will be from 9:43 to 10:43 and the 2nd part will be from 10:43 to 11:43 and 3rd part will from 11:43 to 12:43 and so on till we get all the 8 parts which ends at 17:43 Hours of the same day

If you are born on Thursday but in the night time after Sunset then see the row and go to the 4th part and calculate the Upagrahas.
