Election Charts and Dynamic Transits


Elections and Election Charts

To work with Election Charts select the Chart/Election Charts... menu option. The Election Chart window will open.


The Election Charts tool is designed to search for the best time for an event.

Searching based on Time:

To calculate the chart for the current time and default location, simply click on the Calculate button.

If you change any of the date fields or the time, the chart will be re-calculated automatically. You can click on any of the date or time controls and use arrow keys to keep changing the time dynamically.

You can also change the location by specifying new Country, City, geographical coordinates, Time Zone, and so on.



Searching for Date and Time based on House Cusps positions:
  1. In the House Cusps section, select the House System.
  2. Then, set the house cusp you want to use as the determining factor. ASC will be used be default.
  3. Use the In Zodiac field to enter the position of the house cusp you are searching for.
  4. Click the Use House Cusp button. The chart will be recalculated to bring the requested house cusp to the specified position as close as possible. After that if the position is not exact, you can adjust the time manually by changing values of the Mins (minutes) field.


Searching for Date and Time based on positions of the Planets:
  1. Set Date and Time. The search will use them as the starting point.
  2. Click the Calculate button.
  3. In the Essential Dignities table, double click on the value in the "Long" column and enter the desired value or click on the floating Edit icon. Note: this feature will not work for Part of Fortune and for ASC and MC. For ASC and MC searches, use the Houses section.
  4. Hit Enter. The chart will be recalculated for the next date and time when the planet will be in the specified location.



Electional Charts are always calculated using Geocentric coordinates and Tropical Zodiac.

Note: the Essential Dignities table will only display weighting values based on Essential Dignities, Accidental Dignities are not taken into consideration.
