Alrescha, in the real world, elections are never perfect. Sometimes the best you can do is to go from sodding awful up to pretty bad.
There are a couple of ways to handle it. First - IGNORE YOUR NATAL CHART. Look at that, and you'll never find a date, or you'll find a date in 2056 that looks good, but you've only got a couple of days here to do your election and further it probably has to be in business hours or has other restrictions. Trying to make it sympathetic with your natal will just make you crazy. So ignore the natal and see it as an event in itself, and see if you can make that good. And yes, I've done elections this way, both for myself and for other people. I'm not the only person who has, either. When you study electional and do a lot of it, you will see that many times this is all you can do.
Second thing. Try to stick the bad stuff in cadent houses and put a benefic fixed star on the ASC or MC or both. Or Venus in 10, you know the drill here, I'm sure.
Third. If it's all hopeless, just go and apply without checking the ephemeris. You don't get to elect for everything, and life still happens. If you don't apply, then there's no chance that things can work out for you. And making yourself crazy - it's not helping, it's just stressing you out more.
