Electional Astrology

---

by Estelle Daniels

Today, when you read about astrology 99% of the time you are reading about natal astrology, the astrology of birthcharts, people and personalities. This is the astrology most of us in the modern world are interested in and use in our day-to-day lives.

Long ago, when people wanted to go to an astrologer, they didn't bother with birthdates, because they didn't know that information. Instead they would visit the astrologer and he would cast a chart for the time the person came to him and asked a question or delivered a token from a sick person. In that chart the astrologer would be able to determine the nature of the problem and the answer to the question. Or what disease the sick person had and if they would get well or die. This is horary astrology. If a person wanted to plan an event in the future, the astrologer would use the rules for horary and look ahead for a time that would make things go well for that endeavor. Then the person would do their thing when the astrologer said, and their chances for success would be maximized. That is electional astrology. This article will detail a few simple techniques a person can use to make electional astrology work for them.

Horary astrology is sometimes called the astrology of divination. When a person comes to an astrologer with a question, the astrologer casts a chart for the date time and place that the question was imparted to the astrologer, and, if the questioner is sincere and forthright, the question and outcome will be in that chart. All the information needed is in that particular chart. No birthchart is necessary, though it can help provide additional details.

Electional astrology is the future projected version of Horary. A person wants to do something (one of the most common electional charts is for a wedding) and the astrologer looks into the future and finds a date and time for the place desired when the energies are optimum for that activity. A chart is worked out, and if the person does the thing at that particular date, place and time, their chances for a successful outcome are maximized. Unfortunately there are no absolute guarantees. The person doing the activity has to have their stuff together and put their best effort into it, but the careful choice of timing can help things go more smoothly.

This article outlines some simple electional astrology techniques you can use for yourself to help your important activities. Unfortunately, the world will rarely allow for you to wait for each optimum time to do everything in your life. And it can get very difficult and frustrating to try to live your life totally in accordance with these techniques. Not to mention it can drive you crazy. If you save these techniques for the important things, which have a lasting effect or entail lots of money, you can increase your chances for success. If you use these techniques when you can, you gain an advantage over those who never use these techniques.

The main timer in electional astrology is the Moon. It moves the fastest of all the planets, staying in each sign about 2 1/2 days. And every month the Moon is in each sign of the zodiac, so if you are waiting for a certain Moon sign, the most you will have to wait is a month. This is far shorter than other planets: the Sun is in each sign one month each year; Mercury and Venus move within the Sun's orbit and they are never far from the Sun, so their times in each sign are similar to the Sun's; Mars orbits around the Sun in about 2 1/2 years, Jupiter in almost 12 years, Saturn in 29 years, Uranus in 84 years, Neptune in 165 years and Pluto in about 248 years. Obviously if you are waiting for Pluto, Neptune or Uranus to be in a certain sign, you can wait a lifetime, or more.

The Moon being the fastest planet is the initiator of action in Horary and Electional astrology. So just working with the Moon in a particular sign or house, can be quite effective, even if you aren't taking in to account many other factors that an electional astrologer would.

These techniques are best used when you have some time before you have to act and have a choice about when you will act. If you want to buy a car, waiting for a Gemini or Virgo Moon or the Moon in your third house can increase your chances for making sure you are getting the best car at the best price. You can certainly look, and test drive and do research before the Gemini or Virgo Moon (in fact it would be foolish not to), but if you wait to sign or buy until that optimum time, you can probably make yourself a better deal. You just have to be able to resist the endless sales pitches and pressure to buy now. Looking for a place to live is best done when the Moon is in Cancer or your fourth house. Again, you have decided on a general neighborhood and price range, and what you want. I have found that if you use those specific days, you may be able to find something relatively quickly and get more for your money.

You have about 2 1/2 days when the Moon is in the sign or house you are working with. Sometimes it falls on a weekend, which can limit your options if you are looking for a job. But you could use that day to mail out a bunch of resumes, which can be done anytime of the day or night. Just do the best you can. Even if you try and the timing doesn't work, you are no worse off than before. Unless you use these techniques as an excuse to procrastinate. You have to do your part, which means actively trying to make the most of your time and resources.

If you find yourself in a bind, when you cannot wait, you can at least understand a few of the cosmic influences at work when you are having to act, and thereby either go with the flow, or understand what pitfalls you might avoid which are common under whatever Moon sign you are working with.

Another technique that is very helpful is the cosmic power times. If you know your own Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs, you can determine when the cosmic energies are on your side. If the Moon sign for the day is the same sign as your Sun, Moon or Ascendant the power is with you. You are more noticed, effective, have stronger will power and sales resistance, can get more done, and you get a more favorable reaction to yourself and your endeavors. If the Moon sign for the day is in the sign opposite that of your Sun Moon or Ascendant, it is a cosmic non-power time; the power is with the other guy, not with you. You are more easily dismissed or overlooked, you have less willpower and sales resistance, people just aren't as positive about you or your endeavors. However it is also a good time to be invisible, and you can easily blend in with the crowd.

Obviously if you want to accomplish something, the power days are the best for you, no matter which actual sign or house the moon is in. The days when the power is with the other guy are days you will have to work harder to make things work for yourself. But if you are working on behalf of someone else, you can be an effective advocate because your natural tendency is to put the other guy's interests first.

If you have signs that are naturally opposite in your Sun, Moon and/or Ascendant, then you have power and non-power times simultaneously. You can use the times and realize you may always get mixed results (and some people's lives just seem to go that way) or if you have one sign not opposite, you can concentrate on that sign for your power days.

Aries and Libra are opposite signs                           Taurus and Scorpio are opposite signs

Gemini and Sagittarius are opposite signs          Cancer and Capricorn are opposite signs

Leo and Aquarius are opposite signs                      Virgo and Pisces are opposite signs

If you use these techniques and also tie them in with your natal chart, you can add another level of effectiveness to your life. If you know your Ascendant, than each astrological sign corresponds to a certain house in your personal chart. And the signs naturally correspond to certain specific houses. So Aries is similar to the first house, Virgo to the sixth house, Aquarius to the eleventh house etc. In the interpretations each sign also has a number with it. That number denotes the house it corresponds to. If you are using the Moon in conjunction with your natal chart, use the table below to fine-tune each astrological sign corresponding to each house in your chart. There may not be a 100% correlation because of the table of houses used or if you were born far north or south of the equator, but there will be enough correlation for these energies to work pretty well.

12- Virgo            12-Libra                12-Scorpio               12-Sagittarius      12-Capricorn      12-Aquarius

For a person with a Gemini Ascendant (for example), they can take a short trip when the Moon is in Gemini (the sign ruling short trips) or Leo, which corresponds to the Third house for someone with a Gemini Ascendant.

Another cosmic power time is when the Moon is in the same sign as your tenth house, which gives you a burst of public energy. This works regardless of where other placements might be (like a natal Sun in the fourth which might make the Moon going through your tenth house a non-power time. It still gives you a boost of public energy, though you will be less comfortable with it than others without that fourth house Sun.) The Moon in your tenth is less powerful than the other cosmic power times, but it can be another energy boost.

During the times that are not cosmic power or cosmic non-power times for you personally, things are just humming along. This means the Moon is not in the same sign as your Ascendant, Sun or Moon, nor is it in the sign opposite that of your Ascendant, Sun or Moon, nor is it in the same sign as your tenth house. At these times you are neither helped nor hindered by the Moon's sign. However, the Moon is still in some sign and house, and those energies will be prominent for you.

The Moon's sign is experienced by the whole world simultaneously. Those energies of that particular Moon sign are felt by everyone, everywhere. Each person has their own Ascendant (one of 12 signs, or more specifically one of 360 degrees) and so that adds another layer of complexity to how people deal with those universal energies. If the Moon is in Cancer, it may mean eleventh house energies for a person with a Virgo Ascendant, but a person with an Aries Ascendant will be experiencing fourth house energies. So the Cancer influence is the same, but the house influence will be different for each Ascendant. And whether that Cancer Moon is a cosmic power time for you or cosmic non-power time depends upon your personal chart. But it is still a Cancer Moon for everyone.

These techniques are fairly basic to electional astrology; using just the Moon sign or house the Moon is in. Using a full electional chart takes many more factors into account. It also takes time and skill to construct. But you can just use the Moon can add effectiveness to important events in your life.

Here is a list of the Moon signs and the houses they correspond to in the natural chart. This sign-house correlation is not exact, but close enough for our purposes here. So if you want to find out when the energies are right for love and romance, you can either use a Leo Moon or whichever Moon corresponds to the sign on your fifth house. Some moons are naturally better for certain activities. Some activities are more effective under two or more Moons.
