You do not need to know astrology or have your questions neatly resolved before we meet.
| No. | Mansion | Electional use |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alnath | Consider it for setting out on a journey. Choose another window if the purpose is to make peace. |
| 2 | Allothaim | Search for a misplaced object or revisit an overlooked lead. |
| 3 | Achaomazon | Consider it for sailing, tracking, or a hands-on experiment with materials. |
| 4 | Aldebaram | Better suited to removing an obsolete structure than laying a foundation. Defer delicate negotiations. |
| 5 | Alchatay | Return from a journey, begin a course of study, or reinforce an existing structure. |
| 6 | Alhanna | Use it for a focused search or an effort to overcome resistance. Choose another window for planting. |
| 7 | Aldimiach | Invite a friend to collaborate, make a romantic gesture, or open a commercial conversation. |
| 8 | Alnaza | Gather companions, reconnect with a friend, or bring a traveling group together. |
| 9 | Archaam | Use the pause to review travel or growing plans. Favor independent preparation over a shared launch. |
| 10 | Algelioche | Reinforce a structure, seek an ally, or make a gesture of goodwill. |
| 11 | Azobra | Set out on a voyage, bring goods to market, or help someone gain greater freedom of movement. |
| 12 | Alzarpha | Tend plantings or improve conditions for the people you work with. Choose another time to depart by sea. |
| 13 | Alhaire | Extend goodwill, begin a journey, or tend a project intended to yield a harvest. |
| 14 | Achureth | Consider it for a departure by water or an act of care. The traditional travel indication distinguishes water from land. |
| 15 | Agrapha | Excavate, recover something buried, or begin dismantling a structure whose use has ended. |
| 16 | Azubene | Look for a way out of a constraint. Choose another window for a wedding, a commercial launch, or departure. |
| 17 | Alchil | Renew a lasting commitment, repair a structure, or begin a sea voyage. |
| 18 | Alchas | Reinforce a structure or work toward release from a constraint. Avoid using this window for a truce. |
| 19 | Allatha | Better suited to clearing an obstruction than building a partnership. The tradition cautions against sea travel. |
| 20 | Abnahaya | Begin training that calls for steady repetition, or strengthen a boundary. Choose another window for expanding a joint venture. |
| 21 | Abeda | Gather a harvest, begin building, or set out on a journey. It also suits work that brings an arrangement to a close. |
| 22 | Sadahacha | Take a first step out of a restrictive routine or reclaim room to act independently. |
| 23 | Zabadola | Bring an arrangement to an orderly close or take a step toward release from an obligation. |
| 24 | Sadabath | Do something that renews goodwill in an established partnership, or prepare for a contest. |
| 25 | Sadalabra | Dispatch a time-sensitive message or reinforce a structure. Its separative character suits closure better than reconciliation. |
| 26 | Alpharg | Bring people together around a shared purpose. Consider it for removing a barrier rather than building one. |
| 27 | Alcharya | Gather what a project has produced or bring goods to market. Choose another time to break ground or depart by sea. |
| 28 | Albotham | Gather a harvest, trade goods, or celebrate an established partnership. |

About these calculations
Tropical zodiac, geocentric positions. Daily events include conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines and oppositions between the Sun and planets through Pluto, plus sign changes, direct/retrograde stations and the four main lunar phases. Moon aspects appear separately. “Close aspects now” uses a 1° orb and may span several days. Times are approximate and rounded to the nearest minute.
The 28 tropical lunar mansions divide the zodiac into equal sectors from 0° Aries. The electional notes are modern adaptations of Agrippa, Book II, chapter 33. For a full election, also consider the Moon’s condition, its applying aspects, and the rest of the chart.
Calculated in your browser with Astronomy Engine. No birth details are needed. Your device’s clock determines “now.”

Client reviews
How it feels to be
seen more clearly.
Each session is an insightful journey of alignment and clarity. Here’s what my clients have shared about their experiences.
✦
“I highly recommend getting a reading from Dorje. His depth of knowledge, combined with his life experiences and viewpoints, provide for an incredible experience.”
✦
“I chose to get my first astrology reading from Dorje, as recommended by a friend. The reading fulfilled all my questions and intentions I entered the reading with. Dorjes reading provided a safe and enriching learning environment. Dorje explained everything in a way I could understand and grasp, so I felt like I really was able to take away a deeper understanding of my chart.”
✦
“My reading from Dorje was most valuable. Full of affirmation of my readings over the past 40 years and a fresh insight as to what can be helpful to me at this time. I could not more highly recommend his expertise and intuitive gifts. I look forward to checking in with him again.”
✦
“Dorje really knew how to make my current situation make sense. I could easily follow his interpretations as we went.”
✦
“I listened to the reading you gave again, and so much was in an aligned tune to my inner song, it was such a lovely read at how you wove, mercurially technical aspects & myth & observation & moments of muse.”
✦
“Dorje gave me a stellar reading. I was working two jobs and it was too much for me. I was exhausted. He told me when a good time to quit my second job would be. I waited it out until the time came and it worked perfectly with my finances. My own business was going well enough to quit at that time. Thank you Dorje!”
