Astrocartography: Discover your ideal places for self-growth and fulfillment
Astrocartography, also known as locational astrology, is a fascinating tool that maps out the planetary influences across the globe. This specialized branch of astrology can guide you to the places where you’ll thrive the most, whether it’s for love, career, spirituality, or overall well-being. As a certified astrocartographer, I'm dedicated to helping you uncover your unique energetic blueprint and make the most of your life's journey.
What is Astrocartography?
Astrocartography, or Astrogeography, is based on the premise that our lives as spiritual beings in this human experience, are connected not only with the positions of the planets at the time of our birth but also by where we are on Earth. By plotting your birth chart onto a map of the world, you can see where the energy of different planets is strongest and how they can help you get in touch with different parts of your being.
In essence, astrocartography provides a visual representation of how the planetary lines intersect with the Earth. Each astrocartography line represents a place where a particular planet is prominent for you. For example, a Venus line might highlight areas where you’ll get in touch with themes of love and harmony, while a Pluto line could point to places where you may experience deep transformations.
How does Astrocartography work?
To create an astrocartography map, I start with your natal chart, which requires your birth date, time, and place. This chart is then superimposed onto a map of the world, revealing the lines of planetary influence. Here’s a brief overview of what each astromapping line represents:
Sun Line: Places of personal power, confidence, and vitality.
Moon Line: Areas that highlight emotional responses, sensitivity, and our nurturing side.
Mercury Line: Regions that enhance communication, learning, and intellectual pursuits.
Venus Line: Spots ideal for love, beauty, art, and social harmony.
Mars Line: Zones of energy, action, and sometimes conflict or challenge.
Jupiter Line: Locations for growth, luck, and abundance, sometimes exaggeration.
Saturn Line: Places of discipline, responsibility, and sometimes hardship or learning.
Uranus Line: Areas that encourage innovation, change, and freedom, sometimes unexpected events.
Neptune Line: Regions that bring inspiration, spirituality, and sometimes confusion.
Pluto Line: Spots where transformation, power, and rebirth occur.

The Origins of Astrocartography
Astrocartography was pioneered by Jim Lewis, an American astrologer who developed this innovative method in the 1970s. Lewis's work was groundbreaking, offering a new way to understand how different geographical locations interact with an individual's life path.
Jim Lewis's contributions have been widely recognized, as he was the first to make this knowledge accessible and applicable to anyone seeking to understand the influence of place on their life, through the astrocartography map.
My Archetypal Approach to Locational Astrology
I take astrocartography a step further by integrating Jungian principles into my practice. My certification from the Jim Lewis Foundation, Continuum, ensures my proficiency in astrocartography, while my understanding of Jungian psychology adds a deeper, more holistic dimension to my readings.
Carl Jung, a pioneering psychologist, introduced the concept of archetypes—universal symbols that shape our behaviors and ideas. These archetypes, rooted in Plato's philosophy, manifest in our personal and collective unconscious.
By integrating Jungian concepts with astrocartography, I provide a unique approach that not only maps out the planetary influences on your life but also delves into the psychological and symbolic dimensions that guide your journey. This holistic method promotes a deeper understanding of yourself and empowers you to make informed decisions aligned with your true potential.
Here's how Jungian principles enhance my astrocartography practice:
Archetypes: Jung defined archetypes as fundamental elements of the human psyche that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Astrocartography lines represent these archetypes, each symbolising different aspects of our psyche. By understanding these archetypal influences in your astrocartography chart, I can help you navigate your unique strengths, challenges, and opportunities.
Shadow: Jung's concept of the shadow refers to the unconscious parts of our personality that we tend to repress or deny. In astrocartography, shadowed planets represent these hidden aspects of ourselves. By identifying and working with these shadowed planetary influences, I help you uncover and integrate these parts of your psyche. This process can lead to profound personal growth and self-awareness, as you learn to embrace all facets of your being.
Individuation: Individuation is the process of becoming an authentic individual connected to the unconscious. My focus is on the journey, not just the end results. Rather than seeking a perfect place free of problems, we strive for wholeness by integrating both light and shadow aspects of your psyche. This holistic approach to astromapping fosters self-awareness, resilience, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.
Imagine being able to choose a location for your next move, vacation, or even a business venture based on how it aligns with your personal astrology. Your astrocartography chart can provide insights into:
Optimal Living Locations: Find the best place to live where you’ll feel most at home and supported.
Career Moves: Discover cities or countries that align with your professional aspirations.
Love and Relationships: Uncover areas where you’re more likely to work on your self-love, meet new people or strengthen your existing relationships.
Personal Growth: Identify regions that will foster your sense of purpose and personal development.
Travel Experiences: Plan vacations that are more likely to be fulfilling and transformative based on planetary influences.

How A Locational Astrology Reading May Benefit You
FAQs

To determine using astrocartography where to live, you'll need to create an astrocartography chart. This chart highlights key locations where specific planetary influences are strongest, helping you find places that align with your personal goals and desires.
