What electional astrology is
Electional astrology (from the Latin eligere — to choose) is the branch of astrology devoted to choosing the moment to begin something. The idea is simple: every deed has its own "nature", and there are moments when the cosmic rhythms support that nature, and moments when they hinder it.
The method is not about magic. It is observation, the legacy of practical astrology: which moon phases, which signs and which lunar days are empirically linked to particular tasks. Gardeners have been planting by the moon phases for several centuries — that is the best-known example of electional astrology.
