Astrocartographyyour chart, laid over the map
Your birth chart doesn't stop at who you are, it also maps where each part of your life is most supported on Earth. Astrocartography draws your planetary lines across the world: each line marks the places where one planet was rising, setting or overhead at the moment you were born, so a move, a trip or a "why does this city feel like home?" finally has an answer. Everything I know about reading the map, after 25+ years of charts, is on this page: every line explained, my clear guides, and the readings where I do it for you.
What astrocartography actually is
When you were born, every planet stood at a precise angle to the place you arrived in. Astrocartography (also called locational astrology) recalculates those angles for every point on the planet, producing a personal world map crossed by lines: your Sun line, Moon line, Venus line and so on. Living on or near a line turns that planet's volume up in your daily life; the same person can feel invisible in one city and unmistakably themselves in another.
The map doesn't flatter, but it isn't simple either. Lines have flavors, angles (AC, DC, MC and IC), and crossings that change everything about how a place will treat you. A free calculator can draw your lines; knowing what they'll actually do to your mornings takes longer, start with the ultimate guide, or my real answer to "is astrocartography accurate?"
