Interesting combo of the do no harm and avoiding an afflicted Moon. Thats pretty much Warnock's main rule in elections too.

Curious where you get the 80% success rate, and how is that defined?

Hi Gary, the 'do no harm' ethos with the election approach I picked up from reading the introduction to Choices and Inceptions by Ben Dyke, when he discussed the various approaches to elections between Sahl, Mash'allah, and Al Kindi in his introduction to that book. It made a lot of sense to me as an approach, especially when I can not always be sure I have an accurate birth time for a chart.

For the 80% number, I was averaging out the number found in a few reports such as the one found here: https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/schweizer-divorce-century-change-1900-2018-fp-20-22.html

and here: https://www.consumershield.com/articles/what-percentage-of-marriages-end-in-divorce

which seems to flow from 1 out of 6 to 1 out of 4 marriages end in divorce, depending on how the parameters are defined.

I am going to redo the video in the future, because I think I should have spent at least a couple minutes on the idea that one wants to root the election to the natal chart if one can. Thank you so much for listening and the feedback!
