Choghadiya for Dublin
The day from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight, and the night into eight more. Each part carries the quality of the planet it belongs to. Nothing here is a prediction; it is the same division a printed almanac gives, for this place and this date.

How this is worked out
The eight parts are eighths of the real day and the real night, so they are different lengths except at the equinoxes and every boundary matches a published almanac. Which name falls where is not arbitrary either: the day begins on the weekday's own planet and steps through them in the order the horas run, and the night begins on the fifth planet from that one. Seven names across eight slots is why the first one comes round again at the end.
One period is genuinely disputed. Char is printed as neutral by some almanacs and as good by others, both are in current use, and we have not picked a side — it is shown as read either way rather than resolved by us and printed as a fact.
