Astrocartography and relocation charts are a relatively new branch of astrology that has existed since the 1970s (also known as local astrology), where your birth chart is overlaid onto a world map to reveal which places on Earth resonate with you the most. If your birth chart is a snapshot of where all the planets were in the sky at the moment of your birth, an astrocartography map connects that to where all those planets were rising and setting around the world.
What is Astrocartography?
Astrocartography appears as a visual guide: a world map with lines for each planet. Places that fall on lines or line crossings are significant and transformative. They show what energy you will be best able to express at certain points in the world.
Place matters enormously. Sometimes we outgrow our surroundings, sometimes we need new energy. Astrocartography helps find places that resonate with our destiny and allow us to unlock our full potential.
Planet lines on the map exert an influence similar to their meanings in the natal chart: Saturn stands for responsibility, Venus for love, Jupiter for luck, Mercury for communication, and so on.
How to draw your map?
You can create your own map on MyArcana and see which places in the world your planetary lines fall on. It is also important to consider the chart angles: the Ascendant (AC), the Midheaven (MC), the Descendant (DC), and the Imum Coeli (IC), which show different aspects of personal development.
- Ascendant (AC): how you appear to the world.
- Midheaven (MC): career, status, and reputation.
- Descendant (DC): partnerships and relationships.
- Imum Coeli (IC): family, roots, and inner stability.
How to use Astrocartography?
Here is what planetary lines can suggest about which places are suited for certain goals:
- Chiron: healing and working through trauma.
- Venus: love, pleasure, and harmony.
- Mars: action, challenges, and ambition.
- Jupiter: luck, growth, and adventure.
- Pluto: transformation and renewal.
- Sun: confidence and personal power.
- Moon: emotions and intuition.
- Mercury: communication, learning, and commerce.
- Saturn: responsibility and maturity.
- Uranus: change, innovation, and freedom.
- Neptune: fantasy, spirituality, and illusion.
Each line opens up opportunities for growth in certain areas of life. Use the map as a guide to where on Earth you can express your strongest qualities and discover new dimensions of yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions About Astrocartography
What is astrocartography and how is it different from a natal chart?+
Astrocartography projects your natal chart onto a world map, turning planetary positions into lines that cross specific geographic locations. While a natal chart shows your energies in general, astrocartography shows where in the world those energies are strongest. This helps with decisions about travel, relocation, or choosing places suited to different life goals.
What data do I need to build my astrocartography map?+
The same as for a natal chart: an exact date, time, and place of birth. Time matters especially, since even a small error shifts the AC/MC/DC/IC lines and can move them to a different city or country on the map.
What do the AC, MC, DC, and IC lines mean?+
These are the chart's four angles. The Ascendant (AC): new beginnings and self-expression. The Midheaven (MC): career and public recognition. The Descendant (DC): relationships and partnerships. The Imum Coeli (IC): home, roots, and inner life. Wherever a planet's line crosses one of these angles, its themes become emphasized in that location.
Are certain places universally "good" or "bad"?+
No place is universally good or bad. Planetary lines simply intensify certain themes, such as career, relationships, challenges, or growth. A Mars line, for example, can bring drive and ambition in one context but conflict and impulsiveness in another; interpretation depends on your whole chart and goals.
Can astrocartography be used to plan a move or a trip?+
Yes, that's one of its main practical uses. Many people check astrocartography lines before relocating, traveling, or making major life decisions. They want to see which locations align with the energy they want to amplify, such as career growth, love, or stability.
How exactly are the lines on the map calculated?+
We use precise astronomical data on planetary positions at the moment of your birth, the same method used for a natal chart. We then calculate where each planet would sit on the horizon (the AC and DC lines) or at its highest or lowest point in the sky (the MC and IC lines). This is how the lines appear on the world map.
Do you store my date, time, and place of birth?+
No, we don't store your data on a server. It's only used for a single calculation. Your finished map is kept only in your browser, on your device. You can delete it at any time.
Can I fully trust astrocartography when choosing a place to relocate?+
No, treat the map as one helpful pointer, not a strict rule. Astrocartography shows possible themes and energies of a place, but it doesn't guarantee an outcome. Before a major move, it's worth considering practical matters too, such as work, visas, budget, and loved ones.
Who writes the explanations for the lines on the map?+
The explanations are generated by artificial intelligence, following a method developed by our team of astrologers. The text is created automatically and instantly for each user, so it's informational in nature and does not replace a consultation with a professional astrologer.
