Your Kosmic GPS: A Guide to Reading Your Astrocartography Map
For the purpose of this guide we’ll be using the map generator found on Astro.com. Your astrocartography chart is like mapping personal ley lines around the globe based on your natal chart. Those lines crisscrossing the planet are pathways of potential, each carrying unique energetic frequencies waiting to be activated by your presence.
Why?
As you move around the globe the houses of your chart, along with their angles and aspects, shift. Take for example, a person with Jupiter in Aquarius in the fifth house. If they travel to their Jupiter Ascendant line, Jupiter will shift into the first house, but will remain in Aquarius. With an understanding of the astrological house system you can see how this may significantly impact that person’s sense of self.
The Basics: Your Map’s Anatomy
• 44 planetary lines across the globe
• Each line shows where planets touch important angles in your chart
• Lines have a 150-200 mile strong influence zone (you don’t have to live in the ocean!)
Reading Your Lines: The Power Points
Every line connects to four major angles in your birth chart:
• ASC (Ascendant) – Your personal expression
• DSC (Descendant) – Your relationships
• MC (Midheaven) – Your public life
• IC (Imum Coeli) – Your inner world
It’s the Little Things:
Distance
• Strong effect: 0-150 miles from line
• Moderate effect: 150-400 miles
• Subtle influence: 400-600 miles
Direction
- West of line = More dynamic, active energy
- East of line = More subtle, internalized expression
Paran Lines – These latitude lines blend two planetary energies
• Active within 70-75 miles north/south
• Can make or break a location’s potential
