Ephemeral, Horary and Electional Astrology

A horoscope captures a moment of time from a given location in space. Natal astrology is a specialized branch of astrology that examines the character and course of the life of someone reborn at a given time and place. Ephemeral, Horary and Electional Astrology are also specialized branches of astrology.

Ephemeral astrology is the study of the ongoing passage of time and things that occur within its potential. It does not require the use of horoscopes. This series of talks on ephemeral astrology tries, in a small way, to look at the components of a moment in time by examining a few of the major cycles that contribute to that moment. It is far from exhaustive but it does demonstrate the thesis. This most recent version has fewer examples from the research of the speaker than earlier versions. This emendation was done to keep the series from becoming too long.

Horary astrology is the study of answering a given question asked at a given time and place. These talks examine what constitutes a valid question and what does not. It also establishes criteria for determining whether a question is answerable and, if so, things that deny the matter in question. It then goes on to establish criteria for factors to determine the likelihood of a favorable outcome to the question. Some time is spent showing how to locate times, places and people in a horary horoscope. This is followed by analysis of a few horary questions that demonstrate the principles discussed earlier. At the very end of the series is a dubbed mini-talk which is a brief analysis of the event horoscope of the beginning of this series of talks.

Electional astrology is the study of selecting times to start activities. The assumption in horary astrology is that the person asking the question intuited a ripe moment for asking the question. If that is true, the answer should be present at the same time that the question is, as something like a silhouette of the moment. In an electional astrology one analyzes the relationship of a potential action occurring at a given time and place and the heavens at that time and place. If one looks at an election horoscope as though it was a horary horoscope, one should be able to determine whether the election was correct. Three types of election and one hybrid are discussed with examples.

1) A natural election considers the unchangeable astrological nature of the thing(s) in question. For example each plant has an innate, internal astrological correspondence, or a ruler, so the time for planting a garden is a natural election.

2) A performance election considers the ripeness of the talents and faults of the a person(s) vis a vis the heavens at a potential time and place. One elects to do the performance at a time when the talents are accentuated and the weakness are down played. Choosing a time for a musical recital is an example of a performance election. This type of election is sometimes called a natal election because it uses the natal horoscope while the other types of election do not.

3) An artificial election is made when natural factors and performance factors are minimal and the intent of the individual is all-important. Choosing a time to start the writing of a novel when one wants the theme of the novel to be harmonious with the heavens is an example of an artificial election.

The example of a hybrid election (which is a rare type of election) given in this series is a combination of a performance election and a artificial election and a surprise ending brings in something like a natural election where the nature of the individual in question is predetermined by destiny.

Electional astrology is an astrology of the future when our fallen humanity tries freely and consciously tries to re harmonize our activities with the greater harmony of the cosmos.
