Electional Lab

Each day starts at a neutral 50 and moves with the classical factors: waxing Moon up, Mercury retrograde down, hours of void-of-course Moon down, each supportive Moon aspect (to Venus or Jupiter) up, each frictional one (hard contacts to Mars or Saturn) down. Scores compare days against each other; a 70 is a better launchpad than a 45, not a guarantee.

After the Moon perfects its last major aspect in a sign, it travels "void" until entering the next sign. Tradition holds that ventures begun under a void Moon tend to drift or come to nothing, which makes voids fine for routine work and rest, poor for signings, launches, and first moves. Every window here is solved to the minute, in UTC.

Beyond the score, fit the activity to the sign and phase: waxing for growth and openings, waning for endings and removals. The supportive aspect times listed for each day are the precision targets; an election timed to a Moon-Jupiter trine borrows that minute's quality.

This grades the sky alone. A proper election also honors your natal chart (a day that squares your Sun is not your day, whatever the sky says) and elects a rising sign for the venture, which needs a place and an exact time. Treat this calendar as the shortlist maker; check finalists in the Transit Command Center against your chart.
