Picking a good day to post items for sale on a online auctions

Hello everyone I would like to know what chart do I use, the time that I send in the items to be sold on an online auction web site or the time that the web site receives my post.


I live in the mid west of the USA which is 6 hours away from Greenwich Mean Time at Latitude 33 degrees. The Auction web site is located 8 hours away from Greenwich Mean Time at Latitude 37 degrees away.


When setting up a election chart do I use the time I send the post to the website or the time they receive the post.


Now on this online web site you can pick the time that you want the post to be posted, only in 15 minute intervals. For example you can choose the time that you want it to be posted, on the hour, 15 minutes after the hour, 30 minutes after the hour, 45 minutes after the hour.


So do I use the time for it to be posted at 7:30 AM Central Daylight Saving September 9th 2020 which is the time I have selected for it to be posted or Pacific Daylight Saving time?


I always thought that whatever is started at that time has the qualities of time stamped within it, using the time and place of where it was started.



For example when wanting to relocate to a different place, you use the exact time that you where born, and using the new place latitude.



Thank you very much for your kind assistance in helping me to understand this problem I am having in trying to find a good time to post items to be placed on sale in an on line auction.

If you can choose the time something posts, I would elect the chart for the time it posts, but translate it to your own time zone. I did that for the launch of my blog, and for when I put up the first post of a new feature. Cast the chart for your own location, since that's where you're posting from.

So, if you select 7:30 am Central as the time for your post, and you're in the Pacific time zone, you should cast the chart for 5:30 am in your location.

aspects from transiting planets to your own natal chart are important :smile:

for interested beginners:

SEVEN TRADITIONAL AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR MOST ELECTIONS :smile:

Seven traditional and general principles for most elections.
1. Let the Moon be operative with operative domicile ruler. The operative places are the angles and succedents.
2. Let the I, IV, VII and X be free of Saturn or Mars.
3. Let the Sun be operative, preferably angular.
4. Let Jupiter, Sun, Venus, Mercury and Moon be angular, the more the better.
5. Let the ruler of every action be favorably placed (operative and free of witnessing malefics):
- Saturn for property and some transfer of authority
- Jupiter for governorship and any evident or important matter
- Mars for governorship and military operations
- Venus for celebrations and affairs
- Mercury for eloquence and trade
If the rulers of the action are unfavorably placed and inoperative,
the matter will be unsuccessful,
even with favorably placed benefics rising and culminating.
6. Let the bright non-wandering stars and benefics be rising and culminating to the exact degree,
and let the Lot of Fortune be favorably placed.
7. Avoid the Moon being void of course, the Sun and Moon unfavorably placed,
or the domicile ruler of the Moon being cadent,
having the dodekatemorion of the Moon fall upon Saturn or Mars.
The New Moon is unfavorable concerning evident matters,
but favorable concerning hidden matters,
the Full Moon with malefics causes quarrels and dissension.
Event #1: a launch party. The date has been chosen, and is nonnegotiable,
but the time is to be determined.
This is really a case where the launch would happen with or without a party,
and the results would probably be the same, but
we want a semi-public "here we are" celebration.
Are there astrological factors that should be considered, like
where the angles are, the moon, etc?
The moon will change signs that day, if that's a consideration.

Moon in conjunction with Venus is favorable for celebrations.
Let Jupiter, Sun, Venus and Moon be favorably placed.
Let Venus be rising or culminating,
and let Jupiter be angular without malefic testimony.
The sign of the Moon also has some effect, generally human (for association)
and semi-fertile (for quantity)
signs like Gemini and Libra would be best.
I would recommend sidereal whole signs for this matter.

Event #2: first meeting of an astrological study group.
Because of space availability at the meeting site, the time is predetermined, but
there are several dates to choose from.
At this time of year, that time of day, all potential start dates have Leo rising
and the sun plus several planets in the sixth house.
Depending on the date, though, moon placement varies,
and midheaven sign varies.
(A couple of the potential charts I've tried, I like how they match with my chart,
but I don't know if that's really a consideration.
This isn't all about me.)

It depends on the purpose of the group,
if it is for specifically for study,
rather than association,
here are the points concerning teachings
I - Teacher
IV - Outcome
VII - Student
X - Authority
According to Dorotheus, let Mercury and the Moon be with human images
(Gemini, Virgo, Libra, the first half of Sagittarius, and Aquarius)
and in conjunction or trine with each other, with the Moon being waxing,
and Mercury being eastern.
I would also recommend checking the aforementioned simple principles.
Definitely avoid the sixth house unless you intend irrational events.

....cont
Electional considerations that may be of interest :smile:




Thanks for such a detailed answer! Let's see....
Isn't the sun also operative in the ninth house, and the moon in the third,
since those are their respective houses of joy?
And are you considering house placements by whole sign, or by quadrant house?

That is something I do not exactly understand, but
the third place is inoperative by all accounts in the Hellenistic tradition.
The ninth place was thought operative by some authors
on account of the trine.
Personally, I would avoid these places, but
those cadents are definitely much better than the VI and XII.
I personally consider only whole signs, but I do take factor of the Ascendant, Descendant
and the points in square.
Of course you can do anything you want.
Which is, of course, absolutely possible to achieve all at once! :lol: [Not!]
Seriously, none of the possible dates for these elections allow all those ideal placements
to exist at the same time.
Yes, try to have as much as of them possible.
What's the domicile ruler of the moon?
Is that the ruler of the sign the moon is in at the moment?
And what's the dodekatemorion of the moon?
Yes, that is the traditional ruler of the sign.
The twelfth-part is the sign within the sign - http://www.skyscript.co.uk/gl/dodekatemorion.html
If the moon is neither new nor full, does it matter
whether it's waxing or waning?
I would think waxing would be ideal, especially for a first organizational meeting,
since we want our endeavor to grow, but is that correct?
Yes, waxing is better for almost everything
that does not involve decrease of prices, disbandment
or some kind of destruction.
Is culminating the same thing as setting, or does it mean something else?
By culminating, I personally mean being present in the tenth sign, and
preferably in close square with the Ascendant.

Sixth house can't be avoided.
We only have one available meeting time, and at this time of year, the sun will always
be in the sixth house at that time, along with everything else that's in Capricorn right now.
So, I guess we're inviting irrational events!
(Does that mean unexpected events, or is "irrational" defined some other way?)
When the Sun, the Moon and the Lot of Fortune are in the sixth and twelfth house,
irrational initiations are born - they do not achieve their specified purpose
or end well.
This is especially true if the signs are also quadrupedal, or
there are angular malefics.
Just the Sun is fine I guess.
In the Hellenistic tradition, events were treated in the same way as nativities,
if this was present in nativities, people with serious congenital defects are born.
You can look at any initiative chart and know what it concerns, and
how it would end, even without being told about it.
