A year ago, I was thinking about writing a book about electional astrology, but of course, life got on the way. Today I am glad I did. For the last few weeks, I have seen time and again that astrologers don´t care about elections or think they are simple. One of the most obvious reasons… [Read more…]

I recently made a post about how Natal astrology is not horary. I think most of traditional astrologers would just nod and agree with the purpose of that post. But my second point probably will not face much agreement: that electional astrology is not horary. It is not “the same thing in reverse”! Of course,… [Read more…]

Since ancient times we have advice of when to go to the market. There is a strange mix of electional and mundane astrology in these advices: after all, go to the market to sell ones´s products may be seen as an electional enterprise (“elect me a time where I won´t be attacked by pirates”) or… [Read more…]

As everybody already know, Obama already took a second oath, because of a minor technicality. So, we have two oaths, a great hit for the modern astrologers, which disregard the noon as the beginning of the presidential term, and think that the oath is the only important moment. I said in my previous post about… [Read more…]

I still am thinking about the chart of the inauguration of Obama, so this post is not my final analysis. What bothers with our understanding of event charts is that, although we have a lot of traditional sources with advices for electional astrology, the fact is that few astrologers use them in an “everyday basis”,… [Read more…]

Tomorrow starts again the Premiere league games in England. I have, together with the Skyscript team, been trying to predict the scores of the English Premiere League games. As I said before in Air Crashes, using electional astrology to predict is not easy. And that´s what we are trying to do… to use the chart… [Read more…]
