Learn Astrocartography – Locational Astrology

What Is Astrocartography?

Astrocartography projects your natal birth chart onto a world map, showing where each planet was rising, setting, at its highest, or lowest at the moment of your birth. Different locations activate different planetary energies in your life.

The Four Angular Lines

• AC (Ascendant) lines – where a planet was rising. Activates identity, first impressions, and physical vitality.
• DC (Descendant) lines – where a planet was setting. Governs partnerships, relationships, and who you attract.
• MC (Midheaven) lines – where a planet was at its zenith. Activates career, public reputation, and legacy.
• IC (Imum Coeli) lines – where a planet was at its nadir. Governs home, roots, family, and private life.

Orbs of Influence

Each line has a sphere of influence: strong effect within 200 miles, noticeable within 500 miles, and subtle within 700 miles.

Planetary Line Meanings

• Jupiter – expansion, luck, abundance, and generosity

• Mars – energy, ambition, and competitive drive

Intersections and Parans

Where two lines intersect creates a "power point" with combined planetary energy. Parans are latitude lines where two planets were at the same angular position at birth, creating influence across entire latitudes regardless of longitude.
