In astrology, Electional Astrology is a traditional practice used to select a proposed time for beginning an activity, undertaking, agreement, ceremony, journey, or other event. Rather than interpreting a natal chart, the astrologer examines the astrological conditions associated with possible dates and times and may consider factors such as planetary positions, aspects, house rulers, angularity, and the Moon’s condition. Different traditions apply different rules and priorities when choosing an election. Electional Astrology is an interpretive astrological method and should not be treated as a guarantee of success or as a substitute for practical planning, professional advice, or ordinary risk assessment.
