ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Electional astrology

Alright kiddo, you know how people vote to pick a leader, like how you vote for the class president in school? Well, electional astrology is kind of like picking the perfect time and day to hold an election, so that the most favorable and lucky stars are aligned to help the person you want to win.

It's like a magical game of chess, where you have to plan and strategize what moves to make, only instead of knights and queens, we're looking at the stars and planets. Astrologers study the positions of the planets at different times and dates to see which ones are in the best positions to bring good fortune, success, and opportunity.

For example, let's say you want to hold an election for the best ice cream flavor. An electional astrologer would look at the positions of the stars and planets and pick a day and time where the planet Venus, which represents sweets and pleasure, is in a strong position. They might also look at the moon, which represents emotions and public opinions, and choose a day where it's in a favorable position too.

By doing this, they believe that the date and time of the election can influence the outcome and increase the chances of your chosen ice cream flavor winning. It's like having a secret weapon to help you win.

Of course, not everyone believes in electional astrology, and some people might think it's just a silly superstition. But for those who do believe, it can be a fun and interesting way to plan important events and make sure things go smoothly.
