Electional Search

Finds the times in a date range, up to a year, when every chosen condition holds at a place: the Moon in chosen signs, not void of course, waxing or waning; chosen planets direct; the planetary day and hour. Each condition becomes a set of time intervals, and the result is their intersection. Choosing a moment by such rules is electional astrology, taught in Book V of Dorotheus of Sidon.
