What an Activity Entry Covers

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

An activity entry records how the electional astrological tradition assigns significance for a specific everyday undertaking, bathing, traveling, teaching or fighting among them, to a governing planet or planets, a signifying house and, frequently, a set of favorable zodiac signs, following the logic of electional practice, timing an action for a favorable moment, rather than natal astrology's separate project of reading a birth chart.

An entry records an activity's documented significators as a specific classical or medieval source states them, Guido Bonatti's own thirteenth century treatise among the tradition's foundational statements of the system, and keeps that documented assignment distinct from a natal reading of the same planet or house, since electional practice asks when to begin an action rather than what a person is like.

An entry also records where an activity's own documented tradition places it within the electional literature's broader lists, bathing grouped with cutting the hair, taking medicine and letting blood as bodily care activities timed together, for instance, since electional sources characteristically group related undertakings under a shared house and a shared logic rather than treating each activity as an isolated case.
