Hi, Ouranos,

If you read a horary as a professional, you can play with the time... in some situations. Someone calls you and leaves a message on your voicemail. And the question is unclear or he just mentioned that he has a question. Now you can peruse quickly the ephemeris and decide to call him back under a more auspicious time (after Saturn got hit by the big truck!)

This really is a form of electional astrology, isn't it? The difference is that the subject matter is not clear at the time of election. Does it work, in your experience?

Yes. As long as the client has not clearly formulated the question to you.
But don't step into the electional too much here. You look at the aspects, especially the Moon and that's about it.
It just came back to me. When I was 20-21 years old, I started an astro-dating agency where I would match people according to their birth charts.
So funny! You should have seen me interviewing the ugly, the beast and the poor princess. Some candidates were so desperate that I almost cried my life.
Mam', your Moon looks nice on paper but I am not sure that the Earth will ever rotate to meet the Sun for a potential lunation.
What was I thinking? But I had good fees!
I promise! I will never do it again!

Yes. As long as the client has not clearly formulated the question to you.
But don't step into the electional too much here. You look at the aspects, especially the Moon and that's about it.

Thank you.

I am glad I registered for this forum. This has been very educational.
