What is astrocartography?
Astrocartography, also called locational astrology, takes your exact birth chart and projects it onto a map of the world. The technique, developed by Jim Lewis in the 1970s from much older relocation methods, draws a line for each planet across every place where it sat on one of the four angles: the horizon at rising or setting, the highest point overhead, or the lowest point below. Living, working or travelling near one of your lines tends to amplify that planet's themes, which is why the same person can feel transformed by a move across the world.
What your map shows
Your Sun lines, where vitality, confidence and visibility come to the front.
Your Venus lines, tied to love, beauty and the places that simply feel pleasant.
Your Jupiter lines, linked to growth, opportunity and a sense of room to expand.
Your Saturn lines, where life asks for structure, discipline and serious work.
Your Moon, Mercury and Mars lines, each marking its own kind of place to live or visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an astrocartography map?
It is your birth chart projected onto a world map. Each planet draws a line through the places where it was angular at your birth, and those lines mark where its themes are most pronounced for you.
Is astrocartography the same as relocation astrology?
They are closely related. Relocation astrology recalculates your whole chart for a new city, while astrocartography shows all your planetary lines at once on a map. Both answer the question of how a place might suit you.
Do I need my exact birth time?
Yes, an accurate birth time matters. The lines depend on the angles of the chart, which move quickly, so even a small error in the time can shift a line by hundreds of kilometres.
Is it free?
Yes. The map and the line readings are free after a quick sign-in, with no card and no subscription.
