Even if we accept that the hora order is based on the speed of the planets, do you have any idea why they are in descending order (from slowest to fastest) not other way around? I presume that understanding hora order would give us a clue on the order of planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn) and order of days they rule (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday) One logical assumption would be that the order of Horas is given to accommodate order of days in a week according to order of planets that rule the days of week, but then the question is why is the order of planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn) in that order at the first place?
