Electional astrology is the practice of picking a moment — for a wedding, a company launch, a closing — when the chart of that moment is supportive.

What to look at

Three quick filters: 1) the Moon is not Void of Course; 2) Mercury is not retrograde for contracts; 3) the Ascendant of the moment makes sense for the kind of event.

What is overkill

Trying to find the perfect moment in the perfect month is a recipe for paralysis. Astrology suggests; it does not block. Pick the cleanest available date in your real-world window.
