finding the best time(s) for important life events
The practice of astrology to find an auspicious future date that will best support your specific goals. Examining future charts for possible dates can help us spot the most optimal time for you to be seen or to make money, the most joyful moment for a party, and even the backdoors you can (metaphorically) sneak in through.
An election is, ultimately, a personalized weather forecast in which I am ensuring that astrological conditions are as optimal as possible to secure the desired outcome of your endeavor.
I do elections for major life events including but not limited to:
Weddings
Launching a business (or a big thing within your business)
Moving
Putting your house on the market
Vacations
As well as career-specific important moments for authors and artists, such as:
Going on submission
Signing a contract, whether with an agent or for a project
Timing for a book launch/party or gallery showing/opening
Tour dates
on a case-by-case basis, publication dates (please explicitly state if you are someone who has control over your publication date whether through indie or hybrid publishing in your initial reach-out. remember, there is no control over this aspect of the work in traditional publishing.)
Please note that, due to the shifting legal landscape of liability with occult and divination services, I do not offer elections for medical or legal matters.
A magic bullet.
Not to be extreme, but a “good” marriage election is not going to suddenly fix an abusive relationship. An “all-systems-go” chart for going on submission does not guarantee a six-figure book deal, especially if your work is, say, a poetry chapbook. A business launch election is practically useless if you haven’t done your due diligence with marketing or audience research.
This is to say: an election will not, of its own power, completely overturn the conditions of your life or the norms of an industry. Elections are a supplement, not a panacea. Let’s use common sense.
the most important factor:
This kind of electional astrology is ideally used as a long-term planning service. The more lead time you give me, the more Exceptional windows I will be able to find for your special (or simply major!) event(s). Astrology is the practice of divining on the quality of time, and the more flexible, or long-range planning, the event, the more options we’ll have.
As you might imagine, the options for truly ideal elections tend to get fewer as the lead-up time gets closer. Especially if you’re looking to plan for something less than three months ahead, we have to shift our goal from Capturing An Exceptional Moment to Doing As Well As Is Reasonably Possible, Given The Situation.
If you book up to a year+ out (and, sometimes, with at least six months), I can find some genuinely exciting moments that will amplify and energize your endeavors — gorgeous Road Openers, if you will. If we have only a month or two to pick a date, then we are in Astro-Weather Management Mode and will, consequently, be looking for the best available of the acceptable-to-good options.
To be clear: both goals are extremely valid. Both happen! I do both kinds of elections in my own life all the time. But I want to make sure expectations are clear prior to booking.
Email me at jeannakadlecauthor@gmail.com with the subject line BOOKING AN ELECTION with a description of the event you would like elected. Please note that emailing me alone does not guarantee a booking. Within two business days, I will confirm with you whether we are proceeding, based on whether the election is in the purview of topics I work on as well as my current availability. If I’m booked out for a few months, and you have the time to wait, then I’m happy to put you on the waitlist!
Once we move forward, I’ll request the following via email:
Quite literally every date that you would like to avoid (and I am absolutely serious when I say every)
If you are having a destination wedding and want to avoid the rainy season, please tell me when the rainy season is, as that kind of research is outside of my scope of work. If you would rather not be planning a book tour that coincides with a painful anniversary, give me that date! (I don’t need personal details or explanations, just dates to avoid.) Also, no detail is too small here. Not a morning person? Let me know! The point of investing in an election is getting it as tailor-made and customized to your specifications as humanly possible.
Your desired goals/outcomes
I usually ask clients for up to three major desired goals or outcomes. For example, for a wedding, are you prioritizing throwing a legendary party your friends will talk about for years, or is familial harmony your biggest concern? With a book tour, would you rather focus on meaningful, emotional connection with small groups of readers, or do you want to be speaking to large, packed crowds? These goals live in different parts of an astrological chart and need to be prioritized accordingly.
Your birth chart (that includes an accurate birth time)
Any other parameters for the specific event/occasion
Once we have confirmed your parameters, as well as any additional add-ons (see below), and once payment has been delivered (via PayPal or Venmo), then the clock kicks off. Delivery of election takes 2 weeks.
The base cost for an election that is at least 3 months away is $325, paid in full up front.
You’ll receive a detailed write-up of the two best elections for your event, with thorough explanations of the different aspects of the chart that make it ideal for your chosen event as well as any potential issues the chart may flag for you in advance.
Please note that there is no live consultation for this, as in a birth chart reading.
Surcharge: Elections Less Than Three Months Away
If the election is less than 3 months away, then I will deliver the election (with any add-ons) within 5 days of parameter & payment confirmation, but with an automatic surcharge of $100 for the time crunch/moving other clients down the queue.
Please note that I do not, under any circumstances, offer elections for events occurring within 4 weeks of your initial inquiry.
ADD-ONS: Extra Dates (aka, what if I put my house on the market in 3 months, or 6 months, or 9 months?)
Clients can purchase up to 2 additional elections (aka: different dates), for $50 each. These will be accompanied by a write-up of their differing qualities, unique environments, and what makes each of them useful/supportive.
Please note that, if you do get multiple options, I will not tell you which date to pick. I’ll present the pros and cons of each date/time, and you can select from there. If you suffer from choice paralysis, or do not feel astrologically conversant enough to feel empowered to choose, then I advise sticking to the base offer of the two best elections.
Please note that I will deliver no more than four different elections for you to consider; any more and we are in the Custom Package territory.
ADD-ONS: Extra Locations (aka, what if I do my book launch, which is definitely X day, in Los Angeles instead of New York City?)
This particular offering is especially applicable for folks considering events in different locations, such as weddings, tours, vacations, or other major celebrations. Here, we look at the pros and cons of how the event might play out in different locations across the country/globe.
$50 extra per location, again with a maximum of four total locations (any more, and we are into a Custom Package). Please note that different locations within the same time zone will vary only incrementally. For example, this is not a particularly useful add-on if you’re trying to decide between doing your wedding in NYC versus upstate; the chart will be mostly the same.
ADD-ONS: Delivery Time
Your election will be delivered to you 2 weeks from the date of parameter and payment confirmation.
If you’d like the election delivered sooner, let me know and we will discuss an appropriate rush fee based on your desired timing + my queue.
Custom Package
If you would like a custom package — for example, you’re planning a wedding but are considering different times of year in different locations, and would like to cover your bases with a possible election for every possible option — let me know in your initial reach-out, and I’ll give you a customized quote.
Please note that in order to do a custom package, we must have at least six months of lead-time prior to the event(s).
For going out on submission with a book (with less than 3 months of lead-time!)
“This literally changed the trajectory of my career! We chatted about submission dates for my new book proposal and selected Feb 22nd. The proposal went out as planned and we had an offer within an hour. The book later went to auction and I landed with one of my dream publishers. Planning that date with Jeanna gave me so much motivation and confidence to push forward when I doubted the writing and I'm so grateful for it.”
For a business launch (with less than 3 months of lead-time!)
"Jeanna is a profoundly relational and practical astrologer, which makes her excellent for finding the right astro weather to support your project. Before working with Jeanna, I had never worked with an astrologer to find an election for a project, but I had something that was very dear to my heart that I was finally ready to share with the world. She found several good options for me, and also took the time to explain their differences and answer my (many!) questions about the process. The result was a beautiful election that has allowed me to feel supported and generative after my online business launch."
For a destination wedding (1+ year of lead-time)
Jeanna helped my girlfriend and I set the date for our June wedding. We both have a lot of air energy in our chart and got engaged in Gemini season, and we asked her to help us find a date with lots of light energy. We settled on a date with a party vibe Leo moon and, for the next day, a lazy void-of-course moon. She also helped us avoid a heavy Venus-Saturn square. She explained everything so easily, it really helped us make an annoying decision very simple. The wedding itself was transcendent, with so much presence bursting out of our hearts, and shared by all. We did three costume changes. Thank you Leo moon, thank you Jeanna, thank you life, thank you love.
