Electional days
Read which days tradition favours for a big purchase, and why
- Tell it what the purchase is: a home, a car, a contract, a launch.
- Every day in the stretch ahead gets a score and one sentence on why.
- The days tradition frowns on too, so the sofa gets a horoscope before it gets a delivery date.

Fair questions
Does this predict prices?
No. We looked for an edge with real statistical power and did not find one. What holds up is the part you control: a schedule you keep, and sizing you decided before you were excited. Electional astrology is an old tradition about choosing a moment. It will not get you a better price.
Why does Mercury keep coming up?
Tradition reads Mercury retrograde as reread-the-contract weather. We report what it says; you decide whether to listen.
What if no day stands out?
It says so, and names the least-bad one. We would rather tell you the sky is shrugging than invent a favourite.
Does a low day mean I should not do it?
No. A low day is a tradition's mood, not a verdict on the car. At most it is a nudge to reread the paperwork, never a reason to rush or to stall.
