Offering his obeisance to all-knowing sage Parasara and with folded hands, Maitreya said, "O Venerable, Astrology, the supreme limb of the Vedas, has three divisions, viz. Hora, Ganita and Samhita. Among the said three divisions, Hora or genethliac part of astrology is still more excellent. I desire to know of its glorious aspects from you. Be pleased to tell me, "How this Universe is created? How does it end? What is the relationship of the animals born on this earth with the heavenly bodies? Please speak elaborately".

Parashara - Chapter 2: Great Incarnations

Parashara - Chapter 4: Zodiacal Signs Described, General
The word Hora is derived from Ahoratra after dropping the first and last syllables. Thus Hora (ascendant) remains in between Ahoratra (i.e. day and night) and after knowing Hora, the good and bad effects of a native be known. Sri Vishnu, the Invisible, is Time personified. His limbs are the 12 Rasis commencing from Aries.
