🌟 Astrocartography Basics
Start your journey into locational astrology with these fundamental concepts.
What is Astrocartography?
Astrocartography maps show how planetary energies from your birth chart are distributed across the Earth's surface, revealing where you might experience different life themes.
- Created using your exact birth time and location
- Shows planetary lines across the world map
- Helps identify beneficial locations for various life goals
How It Works
Your birth chart is projected onto a world map, showing where each planet would be rising, setting, or at its highest/lowest point.
- Uses your natal chart as the foundation
- Calculates planetary positions for different locations
- Creates colored lines representing planetary influences
Reading the Map
Each colored line represents a different planet's influence. The closer you are to a line, the stronger its effects.
- Different colors = different planets
- Proximity matters: effects felt within 300-400 miles
- Line crossings create especially powerful areas
