Denise: I do not use your system for determining a “good day.” I never use the fast moving planets, never.
I ALWAYS use the electional days as listed above. I choose a time whe the Moon is making only good aspects, including parallels, before leaving the sign.
These are listed above and additional months will be included in a few days.

My GREATEST ASTROLOGICAL PICNIC IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE is always selected electionally. I chose July 31 for this year’s picnic near Washington DC. All are invited.
I have chosen November 4 2011 to travel to Europe using this technique. It is called Electional Astrology and it has nothing to do with one’s natal chart.

This is a very old system because, in olden days, common people did not know when they were born exactly.

I only consider the Moon’s aspects starting when I leave the house for a trip, not the time of the plane’s take-off.
I do not consider the date when I return home either.
I have been doing this for 30 years and it always works.
Good luck on your travels. I travel to “eastern” Europe every November.

In 2011, I will travel to Vienna/Wien Austria, Slovenia and Bavaria (Germany). While I usually travel to Berlin and Prag, the death of my best friend in Prag makes it impossible for me to (emotionally) go there.

RAHIMA (8-2011): You have asked a lot of good questions.
I will answer a general one on TIMING:
To be honest, I have not found an accurate system for picking the date when an event occurs. Uranus transits last for 1 year but it is impossible for me to predict on which dates Uranian events will occur.
The Transiting Mars 1 degree behind the Ascendant is often a trigger for some event.
If the Ruler of the 11th House is a slow moving planet, its aspect to the Ascendant will trigger a relationship meeting with someone from your past.
I have Venus in the 11th and, when it aspects my Ascendant, I receive a call from someone from my past.

T-SQUARE TIMING: I have observed this for years that the T-Square is triggered from the time an outer planet enters the earliest degree in the T-Square until it finally leaves the latest degree in the T-square. Say you have a T-square with the Moon at 2 degrees/Mercury at 4 degrees/Saturn at 6 degrees. Pluto transiting this will last from the time Pluto entered 2:00 degrees to the time when Pluto leaves 6:59. This can be a 2-3 year period.
During this entire period, the T-Square is triggered with some event that commenced when Pluto first aspected the Moon, at the earliest degree.

Years ago, when my mother’s progressed Moon entered her T-Square involving her money Houses, I told her that there would be complications around receiving money but it would be over and she would get the money when the P Moon lefted the T-Square. This was accurate.

In working with clients in the 1980s, I did not find that the Personal Planets (through Mars) wuld trigger the T-Square, unless there was an outer planet in this configuration as well.

So, I do not use triggers for specific dates as I can be wrong. I can give specific dates as Progressed to Progressed aspects often occur on the date when they are exact and the Moon making minor apsects (150-135-72 etc) often produces an event on the exact date.

You need to make these observations yourself — which is exactly what you are doing. Then, it all becomes clear as to what works and what does not.

Now, events that occurred before 15.5 years of age are easier to predict. Use the degree of separation of exactness to show when a natal aspect became embossed upon the personality.
For example, supposed you have the Moon at 10 degrees and Saturn at 15 degrees making a square. At the age of 5, you were weened emotionally and learned to 1) take care of others before yourself and 2) that you cannot rely upon mother to take care of you. Sometimes this can actually be the birth of a younger sibling and mother has less time for the individual.

I use the technique in my Medical Courses, determining when a childhood (unexpressed) trauma occurred that has planted a seed for some future health issue.

ELIZABETH (10-2011): Yes, you will need to add +4 hours to EDT and +5 hours when we go back to EST — UNTIL THE MOON LEAVES THE SIGN, not necessarily Midnight of either location.
I need to check these hours — and I need to update this list.

SAIIDIA (11-2012): No one can put their life on hold while Mercury is R. You need the money so take the job if offered. R is fine for a temporry job. Only start
permanently when Mercury goes D
