Relocation astrology is the study of how your natal chart shifts when you move to a different location, revealing how planetary energies manifest in new environments. It complements astrocartography, allowing for a detailed understanding of life changes, opportunities, and challenges associated with relocation.
1. How Relocation Astrology Works
- When you relocate, your natal planets occupy new houses based on the new latitude and longitude.
- This changes the areas of life each planet influences: career, relationships, home, and personal growth.
- Your planetary lines (Sun, Moon, Venus, etc.) may affect you differently depending on where you live, enhancing or challenging specific life themes.
2. Key Concepts
- House Shifts: Moving can activate planets in new houses, changing focus in your life (e.g., Venus moving to the 10th house may emphasize career relationships).
- Angular Planets: Planets near ASC, DSC, MC, or IC in the new location become more influential, similar to planetary lines in astrocartography.
- Cross Points and Parans: Intersections of multiple planets in relocation charts indicate areas of intense energy and potential transformation.
3. Practical Applications
- Career and Professional Life: Identify cities where your Sun, Jupiter, or Saturn occupy favorable houses to boost recognition, growth, or stability.
- Relationships and Family: Relocating to areas where Venus or Moon lines are angular can enhance love, social harmony, or emotional well-being.
- Personal Growth: Pluto, Uranus, or Chiron lines in relocation charts can accelerate transformation, healing, and self-discovery.
- Trial Visits: Short stays in potential locations allow you to feel how the relocated chart energy expresses in daily life.
4. Combining with Astrocartography
- Use astrocartography to see global planetary line influences and relocation charts to analyze house shifts in each city.
- This combined approach helps you choose locations that maximize opportunities and minimize challenges, aligning both planetary energies and practical life considerations.
5. Real-Life Example
- A person relocating to a city under their Jupiter–MC line may experience career expansion, promotions, or recognition.
- Moving to a Moon–IC line region may improve emotional stability, family bonds, and domestic comfort.
Relocation astrology is a practical extension of astrocartography, allowing you to understand how planetary energies adapt to new environments and how different locations can enhance various aspects of your life.
