Tell me when to do Something:
Electional Astrology

Text Copyright 2007, 2012 J. Lee Lehman

Events have birth charts, just like you do. Events, however, are more fragile than people, who often show remarkable resiliency. The purpose to electional astrology is to align your intentions concerning an event with an astrological configuration that makes that intention as easeful as possible in practice.

What kinds of events are appropriate for electional astrology?

Marriages, moving in together, divorce hearings, beginning a job, beginning a job action, asking for a raise, opening a business, opening a new business location, listing a house, purchasing a house, moving into a house, beginning the construction of a house, surgery times, beginning a round of medical treatment, writing a letter to achieve a goal, moving, beginning a trip, or the purchase or sale of important goods.

What kinds of events are not appropriate for electional astrology?

Time to give birth to a child by caesarian section (except perhaps in general terms), timing to avoid getting caught at illegal acts, time to commit suicide, or the time for any trivial or ephemeral event.

Can I elect any time to do anything, as long as the planets agree?

Many electionals are actually times for doing something with legal ramifications. For example: if you open a business and elect to get a business license, it can only be done when the governmental agency it falls under will accept applications. If they allow for it on-line, then any time is good, but if you have to apply in person, then it has to be at an allowed time and day of the week. Or another example: different countries and different regions within countries have laws regarding marriage. A marriage would have to fall within the legal parameters for the location of the marriage. (For information about the laws of the different states of the USA regarding marriage, click here.) These rules must be followed for the election to have force.

Can electional astrology tell me anything about events which have already occurred?

It's not called electional astrology, but event interpretation. However, the same astrological rules apply whether the event has already occurred, or has yet to occur. If you are interested in finding out about such a past event, the pricing is like horary.

Why do you have so many different rates listed below?

Sahl, one of the ancient Arabic astrologers, said it best: only the electionals of kings are powerful. What he meant is that the more powerful your social situation, the easier it is to get what you want accomplished. The rest of us are constrained by our circumstances: we have to deal with bosses, family limitations, and other matters. For the average person, it's wise to find out whether what we want is feasible within the time interval we want to do it in. This can be done two ways: by asking a horary about the electional (like: will my business succeed if I incorporate at this time?), and then only proceed with the electional if the answer is yes. Or the astrologer can consult your birthchart and see whether the planned event makes sense in the period you are in. Lee offers bundles packages with a special price - but you get a partial refund if the scan proves that the electional should not be done at this time.

What do you need to know in order to do an election for me?

  • I need to know what makes this event important to you: what you hope to accomplish. For example: if you are buying a home, are you purchasing it as your main residence, as a retirement home, in order to provide rental income, or as an investment?
  • I need to know your birth data, as well as that of the other parties (when feasible for you to get this).
  • I need to know surrounding circumstances: for example, is this elective surgery, or emergency?
  • I need to know who your regular astrologer is (if it isn't me!), so we may consult if necessary.
  • I need to know when the event can take place: normal business hours, Tuesdays from 8:00 - 10:00 am, etc.
  • I need to know how long an event is (like a surgical procedure), if it isn't a contract signing, or other such "instantaneous" event.
