Electional Astrology

Electional Astrology

Electional Astrology refers to the branch of horoscopic analysis focused on selecting the most favorable moment to initiate a specific action, project, or event. Reversing the logic of standard natal astrology, this technique calculates a future chart to optimize planetary placements, aspects, and house dignities, aiming to align human endeavors with favorable celestial dynamics.

Yesterday’s Tomorrow is Today (1993)

  • 1993

Electional Astrology, Astrological Practice, and Timing Techniques. This archival manuscript contains the text of a lecture titled “YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW IS TODAY!” by Marion D. March (1993). March reflects on the evolution of modern astrology, evaluating how the integration of psychological principles and computing technology has transformed traditional chart interpretation. She cautions astrologers against completely discarding foundational methods, advocating for the integration of traditional timing techniques—such as electional and horary astrology—alongside modern psychological models. Additionally, March outlines upcoming societal and economic shifts, referencing the transitional outer planet transits of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto heading into the late 1990s and 21st century.

Fertility, Infertility and Astrology (1991)


Fertility Astrology, Medical Astrology, Electional Astrology. This archival document is a lecture manuscript titled “FERTILITY, INFERTILITY and ASTROLOGY” by Marion D. March, dated around 1991 to 1996. March expands upon her research into Dr. Eugen Jonas’s lunar-solar fertility cycle and its integration with modern reproductive medicine. She reiterates that astrological fertility cycles are highly unreliable for birth control, but serves as a powerful electional tool for timing pregnancies. The manuscript provides guidelines for electing conception windows based on applying lunar aspects, natal chart distance matching, and managing timing relative to physical ovulation and biological constraints. March addresses assisted reproductive procedures including artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), GIFT, and ZIFT, asserting that the critical electional moment for astrological timing occurs at embryo implantation rather than egg harvesting or fertilization. The text features technical client worksheets, correspondence, case studies, and discussions on gender prediction, lunar sign polarities, and navigating pregnancy complications.

Electional Astrology Rules

Electional Astrology, Astrological Timing Techniques, and Event Charts. This archival document is an instructional reference guide titled “ELECTIONAL ASTROLOGY” by Marion D. March. March presents a comprehensive framework of rules for selecting optimal timing to initiate significant life decisions and events. She outlines core foundational rules, such as prioritizing applying lunar aspects, favoring waxing Moons over waning ones, avoiding void of course Moons, and positioning benefics (Jupiter and Venus) above the horizon while managing Saturn and Uranus in angular houses. The manuscript details specialized criteria for specific scenarios, including marriage, moving into a home, purchasing vehicles or real estate, commencing lawsuits, scheduling surgery, and launching a business or corporation. March emphasizes that while the electional chart acts as the birth chart for an event and takes temporary precedence over a client’s natal chart, astrologers must maintain realistic expectations as no chart can be completely flawless.

The text features detailed case studies and technical chart worksheets for clients (e.g., Mindy, Marissa, Sarah, and Jennifer) to illustrate how timing embryo implantations and fertility windows can support successful pregnancies.
