Hello everyone

The best book I have found on the astrology of timing is called - "Electional Astrology the Art of Timing" by J Hampar. The author lays out all the rules and gives many examples of election charts covering topics for each of the twelve houses of the horoscope.

The Moon is of utmost importance in electional work and she must be free from affliction - which means well placed by sign, house and aspect. She cannot be void-of-course and her last aspect describes the outcome of the elected matter. Also the natural rulers of the electional matter should be strong. For example in an election chart for marriage - Venus - Mars and the Moon are all considered important and should be in good alignment with each other and as well placed by sign and house as possible. The time of the day is important in determining both the ascendant sign and the house placement of the ruling planets.

Good Day
Moon in Aries sextile Neptune
When the Moon is in Aries people are self-reliant and positive though sometimes pushy. You can get something going again if you have tried before and failed. Original ideas are in abundance as retrograde Mercury is sextile Uranus early today. Try to tap into that energy stream and make the most of it.

Challenging Day
Moon in Taurus square Neptune
When the Moon is in Taurus progress is slow and people are more deliberate in their actions. Personal security and matters of a material nature tend to dominate every one's thinking. While energy is somewhat lacking today tomorrow's new Moon will get the conversation going again. Use this time to put the finishing touches on your plans then go forward once Mercury is direct.
