No birthchart is necessary, though it can help provide additional details. Electional astrology is the future projected version of Horary. A person wants to do something one of the most common electional charts is for a wedding and the astrologer looks into the future and finds a date and time for the place desired when the energies are optimum for that activity.
A chart is worked out, and if the person does the thing at that particular date, place and time, their chances for a successful outcome are maximized. Unfortunately there are no absolute guarantees.

The main timer in electional astrology is the Moon. And every month the Moon is in each sign of the zodiac, so if you are waiting for a certain Moon sign, the most you will have to wait is a month. This is far shorter than other planets: Obviously if you are waiting for Pluto, Neptune or Uranus to be in a certain sign, you can wait a lifetime, or more.
The Moon being the fastest planet is the initiator of action in Horary and Electional astrology. So just working with the Moon in a particular sign or house, can be quite effective, even if you aren't taking in to account many other factors that an electional astrologer would.
These techniques are best used when you have some time before you have to act and have a choice about when you will act. If you want to buy a car, waiting for a Gemini or Virgo Moon or the Moon in your third house can increase your chances for making sure you are getting the best car at the best price.
You can certainly look, and test drive and do research before the Gemini or Virgo Moon in fact it would be foolish not to , but if you wait to sign or buy until that optimum time, you can probably make yourself a better deal. You just have to be able to resist the endless sales pitches and pressure to buy now. Looking for a place to live is best done when the Moon is in Cancer or your fourth house.
Again, you have decided on a general neighborhood and price range, and what you want.
10 Tips for Electional Astrology
I have found that if you use those specific days, you may be able to find something relatively quickly and get more for your money. Sometimes it falls on a weekend, which can limit your options if you are looking for a job. But you could use that day to mail out a bunch of resumes, which can be done anytime of the day or night.
Just do the best you can. Even if you try and the timing doesn't work, you are no worse off than before.
Unless you use these techniques as an excuse to procrastinate. You have to do your part, which means actively trying to make the most of your time and resources. If you find yourself in a bind, when you cannot wait, you can at least understand a few of the cosmic influences at work when you are having to act, and thereby either go with the flow, or understand what pitfalls you might avoid which are common under whatever Moon sign you are working with.
Another technique that is very helpful is the cosmic power times. If you know your own Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs, you can determine when the cosmic energies are on your side. If the Moon sign for the day is the same sign as your Sun, Moon or Ascendant the power is with you.
You are more noticed, effective, have stronger will power and sales resistance, can get more done, and you get a more favorable reaction to yourself and your endeavors. If the Moon sign for the day is in the sign opposite that of your Sun Moon or Ascendant, it is a cosmic non-power time; the power is with the other guy, not with you.
You are more easily dismissed or overlooked, you have less willpower and sales resistance, people just aren't as positive about you or your endeavors.
However it is also a good time to be invisible, and you can easily blend in with the crowd. Obviously if you want to accomplish something, the power days are the best for you, no matter which actual sign or house the moon is in.
The days when the power is with the other guy are days you will have to work harder to make things work for yourself. But if you are working on behalf of someone else, you can be an effective advocate because your natural tendency is to put the other guy's interests first.
You can use the times and realize you may always get mixed results and some people's lives just seem to go that way or if you have one sign not opposite, you can concentrate on that sign for your power days. If you use these techniques and also tie them in with your natal chart, you can add another level of effectiveness to your life. If you know your Ascendant, than each astrological sign corresponds to a certain house in your personal chart.
And the signs naturally correspond to certain specific houses. So Aries is similar to the first house, Virgo to the sixth house, Aquarius to the eleventh house etc. In the interpretations each sign also has a number with it.
That number denotes the house it corresponds to. If you are using the Moon in conjunction with your natal chart, use the table below to fine-tune each astrological sign corresponding to each house in your chart. For a person with a Gemini Ascendant for example , they can take a short trip when the Moon is in Gemini the sign ruling short trips or Leo, which corresponds to the Third house for someone with a Gemini Ascendant.
Another cosmic power time is when the Moon is in the same sign as your tenth house, which gives you a burst of public energy. This works regardless of where other placements might be like a natal Sun in the fourth which might make the Moon going through your tenth house a non-power time. It still gives you a boost of public energy, though you will be less comfortable with it than others without that fourth house Sun.
The Moon in your tenth is less powerful than the other cosmic power times, but it can be another energy boost. During the times that are not cosmic power or cosmic non-power times for you personally, things are just humming along. This means the Moon is not in the same sign as your Ascendant, Sun or Moon, nor is it in the sign opposite that of your Ascendant, Sun or Moon, nor is it in the same sign as your tenth house.
At these times you are neither helped nor hindered by the Moon's sign. However, the Moon is still in some sign and house, and those energies will be prominent for you.
The Moon's sign is experienced by the whole world simultaneously. Those energies of that particular Moon sign are felt by everyone, everywhere. Each person has their own Ascendant one of 12 signs, or more specifically one of degrees and so that adds another layer of complexity to how people deal with those universal energies.
If the Moon is in Cancer, it may mean eleventh house energies for a person with a Virgo Ascendant, but a person with an Aries Ascendant will be experiencing fourth house energies.
So the Cancer influence is the same, but the house influence will be different for each Ascendant. And whether that Cancer Moon is a cosmic power time for you or cosmic non-power time depends upon your personal chart. But it is still a Cancer Moon for everyone. These techniques are fairly basic to electional astrology ; using just the Moon sign or house the Moon is in.
Using a full electional chart takes many more factors into account. It also takes time and skill to construct. But you can just use the Moon can add effectiveness to important events in your life. Here is a list of the Moon signs and the houses they correspond to in the natural chart. This sign-house correlation is not exact, but close enough for our purposes here.
So if you want to find out when the energies are right for love and romance, you can either use a Leo Moon or whichever Moon corresponds to the sign on your fifth house.
