Frequently Asked Questions

Astrocartography, also known as locational astrology, is a technique that maps planetary influences across the globe based on your birth chart. It shows how different locations around the world might affect your personality, opportunities, and life experiences. The map displays lines where each planet was rising, setting, or culminating at the time of your birth, helping you understand where certain planetary energies might be strongest for you.

Astrocartography calculations are mathematically precise based on astronomical data. However, the interpretation and effects are subjective and vary by individual. Many people report meaningful correlations between their astrocartography lines and their experiences in different locations, but results aren't guaranteed. We recommend using astrocartography as one tool among many for life decisions.

Yes, knowing your exact birth time (within a few minutes) is crucial for accurate astrocartography calculations. Even small errors can shift your planetary lines significantly. If you don't know your birth time, check your birth certificate, hospital records, or consider working with an astrologer who specializes in birth time rectification.

Astrocartography is based on astronomical calculations, but the interpretations and claimed effects are not scientifically proven. It falls under the category of astrology, which is considered a belief system rather than a science. Our services are provided for entertainment, educational, and personal exploration purposes.

No, astrocartography doesn't predict specific future events. Instead, it suggests potential themes, energies, and areas of focus that might be prominent in different locations. It's a tool for understanding possible influences and making informed choices about where you might want to spend time, not for predicting exact outcomes.

Minor differences between astrocartography sites can occur due to: different ephemeris data sources, varying calculation methods, different house systems, or time zone/location database differences. These variations are usually minimal and don't significantly change the overall interpretation.

Each colored line represents a different planet: Sun (golden), Moon (purple), Mercury (blue), Venus (pink/red), Mars (red/orange), Jupiter (green), Saturn (dark gray), Uranus (light blue), Neptune (sea blue), and Pluto (dark red). Each planet has four types of lines: Ascendant (rising), Descendant (setting), Midheaven (culminating), and IC (nadir).

Most astrologers consider the effects of planetary lines to be felt within 300-400 miles (500-650 km) of the actual line, with the strongest influences within 100 miles (160 km). The closer you are to a line, the more prominent its effects might be. However, individual sensitivity varies greatly.

AC (Ascendant) lines represent where a planet was rising - affecting identity and first impressions. DC (Descendant) lines show where a planet was setting - influencing partnerships and relationships. MC (Midheaven) lines indicate where a planet was culminating - affecting career and reputation. IC (Imum Coeli) lines show where a planet was at its lowest point - influencing home and family matters.

No planetary line is inherently "good" or "bad" - they each offer different types of experiences. Jupiter lines are often seen as beneficial for expansion and opportunities, while Saturn lines might bring challenges but also structure and growth. Venus lines enhance love and creativity, while Mars lines boost energy and action. The "best" line depends on your current goals and life stage.

If there are no major planetary lines near your desired location, it doesn't mean the area is "neutral" or bad for you. You can look at: 1) crossing points of lines nearby, 2) parans (planetary aspects at that location), 3) your relocated chart for that area, or 4) simply consider that the location might offer a more balanced, less intense astrological experience.
