Kenneth Irving Horoscope Guide November 2005
"For someone who wants to learn this branch of astrology, Joann Hampar's book is a good place to start. In a relatively small space the author manages to lay out a set of useful rules and show how to apply them. She even includes an almost encyclopedic list of electional house rulerships that will help you cover every conceivable life category and situation, and in fact quite a few that you're not likely to conceive of."
"The first four chapters are dedicated to providing the basics of electional. But the real substance of the book is found in the fifth chapter. Here Hampar gives examples of actual elections which cover many of the usual situations one is likely to run across. These include marriage, going to an audition, getting cosmetic surgery, buying a car, buying or selling a house, as well as starting various types of businesses."
"This book would be a good addition to the library of a practicing astrologer, but it would also be very useful to someone who has just learned the basics and wants to add to that knowledge. The information is well laid out, the examples are useful, and the additional information in the glossary, bibliography and the four appendices all provide good background."
------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Lorenz Dell Horoscope September 2005 "In Joann Hampar's Electional Astrology the guidelines for discovering the right moment to begin a project must be weighed against the current transits to the natal horoscope.... Hampar begins with this caveat and states up front what to look for in the natal chart first." "The rest of the book is devoted to describing what kind of elections are appropriate for each house with an example to show how it is done. The process is a clear straightforward application of this tool in real-life situations." "Appendix B provides a comprehensive listing of subjects that one can consider in electional astrology. With these lists, rules and examples the interested student will soon master the art of timing." ------------------------------------------------------------------- Annie Heese Cafe Astrology September 2005 "Electional astrology books are few and far between, so I was excited to get my hands on this new book by Joann Hampar. It's a fresh and modern treatment of the subject of "electing" a favorable day and time for an undertaking. General rules are offered, including discussions of such things as occultations, combustion, eclipses, house rulerships, and more. The bulk of the book is devoted to illustration of different electional subject matter (such as "purchase a car", "acquire a pet", and "marriage") largely through example charts. The appendices include "Principal Horary Rulerships", which is a list of question matter linked to the houses, planets, and signs, an "Alphabetical List of Electional House Rulerships" (so that readers can, for example, look up a word like "wallet" and find the associated house - the second house), and "Sample Election Charts" that are the author's actual election charts for clients. Highly recommended." ------------------------------------------------------------------
Deborah Houlding Skyscript July 2005 "Joann Hampar’s recent publication: Electional Astrology – the art of timing, makes a very welcome addition to essential textbooks. Finally we have a book dedicated to electional astrology which doesn’t merely lay out the rules, but also explains them and explores the reasoning that lies beneath them. The book begins with an introduction to the subject and the general techniques employed. The planetary cycles, the primary rulerships attributed to the planets and houses, the election chart’s relationship with the birth chart, and numerous other essential principles are covered in preparation for putting the methods to use in real-life situations. The latter half of the book allows the rules to be placed in context alongside demonstrated case-histories, but thankfully the book doesn’t descend into a meaningless list of ‘dos and don’ts’; the instruction continues, with relevant points continuing to be raised at the places where they will be most meaningful. Over two dozen demonstrated case histories make this book unique in offering a fully comprehensive exploration of electional rules in a concise and highly readable format." " I would recommend this book to any astrologer interested in developing a confident understanding of electional techniques. Timely explanations of traditional terms and a very useful glossary make it particularly appealing to modern students, who have suffered too long from a dearth of digestible literature on this extremely practical and informative subject. Even professionals will benefit from the fresh perspective Joann has brought to the subject. Sadly electional astrology is becoming an underestimated study, with a lot of confusion around its rules and very little active debate or exploration of its philosophy and methods. Let’s hope this book will stimulate more attention and a deeper appreciation of its principles in the future." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Library Journal April 2005 "Electional astrology is the branch of astrology that helps people most fortuitously plan significant events through the study of planetary alignments. Joann Hampar, a professional astrologer for almost 20 years, offers a practical guide to this study for astrology students and professionals, including 27 electional charts with explanations of how they were compiled." "The events addressed include buying a car or house, getting married, filing a lawsuit, auditioning and interviewing, scheduling surgery, adopting a pet, and taking a trip. Individual chapters focus on such topics as natal charts, planetary cycles, and the significance of the moon when planning events." "Recommended for most public libraries to augment basic astrology collections."-Bradford Lee Eden, Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas Libs.
