Electional Astrology (known in ancient Greek as Katarche, or 'inceptions') is the specialized art of choosing an auspicious moment to birth a new endeavor.

Electional astrology is one of the oldest practical applications of horoscopic astrology, practiced extensively throughout the Hellenistic, Byzantine, and Islamic Golden Age eras. Renaissance astrologers like Guido Bonatti and William Lilly compiled extensive electional treatises for royal marriages, coronation dates, and treaty signovers.
Historically, royal houses and nobility rarely conducted wedding ceremonies without consulting an astrologer to ensure Venus was direct and the Moon was waxing in a Fixed or Double-Bodied sign. Today, electional wedding planning empowers couples to align their special day with cosmic harmony.
