## How it works

The scan checks 09:00, 13:00, and 17:00 local time on each date. Its relative score combines event-focus-house alignment for the Moon, a waxing-Moon flag, the share of event-focus planets in selected houses, and a caution for the Moon in houses 6, 8, or 12. Each candidate chart uses Placidus where available and records a Porphyry fallback where needed. The ranking does not evaluate aspects, void-of-course status, exact transit boundaries, personal natal charts, or probability. Local times, skipped DST slots, candidate limits, and the method are shown with the result.

## Interpretation and limits

Rank up to 30 candidate local times in a date range using a transparent, event-specific symbolic chart heuristic. Results describe astrological calculations and should be read with the stated inputs, selected method, and practical context.
## Frequently asked questions
### What does the date finder compare?

It ranks candidate dates and local times in the selected range using the event focus and the chart conditions available for each moment.

### Does the result guarantee an outcome?

No. Electional astrology is a timing framework; it cannot guarantee a particular real-world outcome.
