★astrocartography in astrology (a detailed guide)★
⋆. 𐙚 ˚paid readings open ⋆. 𐙚 ˚
Hey !! I am clearing my drafts as much as I can before we start with
Vedic astrology. This post would not be as big because there is
overwhelming information on this topic as well, but let us see.
Astrocartography is a discipline of astrology that graphs out where
planets were conjunct angles anywhere in the world at the moment
of your birth. While relocation chart is a birth chart of a place if you
were born there, what would your life look like.
These are very useful to see what place is best for you to travel, or
relocate to for specific purposes like maybe education, finding a partner and so on ..
History and little astronomical knowledge (skip if uninterested)
There are two techniques to study this discipline. En Mundo and
Zodiacal. En Mundo is what we use by default as this is what Jim Lewis
the creator of astrocartography used. For some extra knowledge, fyou-
ean skip pass this section if you want tol) look below:

The basic difference is that En Mundo measures the planets relative to
the celestial equator while the Zodiacal used Ecliptic. So basically the
Zodiacal misses the declinations and the right ascensions (the 23
degree tilt basically). Now look at the charts below, the left one is En
Mundo while the right one is Zodiacal. You can see how planets are in
one line on the Zodiacal while the shift to different positions in the En
Mundo chart.
How to use astrocartography and relocation charts
I HIGHLY recommend using these in combination to have the best
ideas of your experience at a particular place.
Relocation charts. That's the first, most important thing to know. Your birth chart
shifts depending on where you are in the world. Meaning you have
MANY charts for all of the places in the world! The natal planet and
aspects of your chart don't change, but the houses (areas of life),
angles and aspects to those angles do. When you're pulling up your
astrocartography map, you'll notice you have 44 lines criss-crossing
across the globe. These lines show where the planets were situated on
angles in the relocated chart.
Jim Lewis, the creator of Astrocartography, used 800 mile of an
intluence. most astrologers use 600 miles maximum, meaning you
can feel effects of a line around 600-800 miles either side from where
the line passes. Now the question is which side is the influence
strongest? the answer likely is towards the west.
There's a saying by Jim Lewis that "west was best" but it's been said
that moving west of a planetary line makes that planetary line more
angular and dynamic, and moving east of a line places it in a more
cadent position, which is less powerful.
However you can always see a relocation chart for the desired place to
understand what is it that you want!
For example: Having planets in angular houses, the 2nd house and 6th
house may be really good if you have been wanting a career success
and recognition, having planets in 9th house is good for higher

information on the main themes you can expect! The rising sign is
incredibly important as well. I would not be making this too long
because you can interpret your relocation chart very similarly to your
natal chart, however let me know if you guys want a separate post on
that one! I also recommend looking at the Vortex and Part of Fortune
for more information.
Now let us see what do the lines on your Astrocartography map mean
for you. Below would be an interpretation table for each lines,
HOWEVER use these lines with accordance to your natal chart. If say
you have Moon in 8th house, you could experience extreme emotional
experiences along your Moon lines, and though depending on whether
what type of line it is would make differences, your natal chart would
still show effects.
For example if you have Uranus on your angular houses or maybe you
are Aquarius rising or have Uranus in 1st, or aspects to Uranus like
Uranus Trine Sun, Uranus lines passing through your birth country or
where you live currently, you could either want to or struggle or maybe
both for self expression and crave freedom, rebel. There was some
actress whose chart I saw and she was very rebellious when she was
in her home country and much better when she moved out, she had her
Uranus lines passing through her birth country. It is worth mentioning
that all aspects to Uranus are important, if I remember correctly,
astrologer Noel Tyl used to take these very seriously.
Here is what astrologer Helena says:
We all have a fixed permanent astrocartography map based on
when we were born. That never changes. But what does change is
timing. Regardless if whether or not you're in a nice location, if you
have hard transits or progressions at that time, and hitting that challenging times. Progressions can last up to 3 years and transits
can be as short as a few days to 3 years. Timing matters. Just as
much as location. So if you're wondering, "why am I having such a
hard time in this location but I'm on a supported planetary line!" first
ask yourself if you've looked at the relocated chart and parans, then
ask yourself if you've looked at the timing.
(Parans are the latitude lines that are within 70-75 miles north and
south. These crossings of lines create latitude lines that are a blend
of two planets. Parans are incredibly powerful and can make or break a
place. I would not be discussing them here since it is beyond what most
people here would be willing to dedicate time to, however if anyone is
curious they can study it themselves or I can make a post!)

Now I would yet again say this could be such a lengthy post
but no one really has time for that. For example,
★people usually would suggest against travelling to your Pluto lines,
however, if you have Pluto trine/conjunct Sun, you could benefit from
travelling along your Pluto lines.
★Jupiter DSC lines can sometimes show the location of your spouse
or maybe where would be the best place to find abundant
love/partnerships.
★I have often seen people having IC and ASC lines passing through
their childhood home/birth country.
Now you can look up a combination of your relocation chart, natal
chart-astrocartography chart to get a good idea of what your life could
be at a place
