Creating an astrocartography map involves projecting your natal chart onto a world map to reveal where planetary energies are strongest. This process helps you explore locations for love, career, personal growth, or spiritual development.
1. Gather Birth Information
To generate a map, you need your exact birth date, time, and place. Accuracy is crucial because even small differences in time or location can shift planetary lines significantly.
2. Use Astrocartography Software or Online Tools
Modern technology makes generating maps straightforward. Many online platforms and astrology software allow you to input your birth details and automatically create a map with planetary lines. Examples include:
- Astro.com (AstroClick Travel)
- TimePassages
- Solar Fire
These tools plot ASC, DSC, MC, and IC planetary lines across the globe.
3. Understand the Map Layout
- Planetary Lines: Show where each planet’s energy is strongest
- Angles (ASC, DSC, MC, IC): Indicate how the planetary influence manifests (self-expression, relationships, career, or home life)
- Intersections: Highlight locations of intensified energy or significant experiences
4. Optional: Combine with Relocation Charts
For deeper insights, astrologers often combine astrocartography with a relocation chart, recalculating your natal chart for a specific location. This helps you see exactly how planetary energies will affect your life in that city or region.
5. Interpretation
Once the map is generated, study:
- Where positive planets (Jupiter, Venus, Sun) enhance growth and opportunities
- Where challenging planets (Saturn, Mars, Pluto) bring lessons or obstacles
- How intersections and angles create areas of potential transformation
Generating an astrocartography map opens a global perspective on your natal chart, showing how your personal energies interact with locations worldwide.
