Astrocartography

Where your planets were on the horizon

At the moment you were born, every planet was directly overhead somewhere on Earth, and rising or setting along two curves. Drawn on a map, those become the lines below. All ten planets, nothing held back, no account needed.

Your lines will be drawn on this map. Each one marks where a planet was on one of the four angles at the moment you were born, and there are four for every planet you choose to show.

How accurate this map is

Every line is drawn from where the planet actually stood at the moment you were born, calculated to the arc second for your own date, time and place. Nothing here is pre-drawn, rounded off or copied from a table, and no planet is held back. Give the same details twice and you get the same map twice, down to the metre.

Your birth time is the one thing that moves a line, and this is the only map that lets you see it move. The Earth turns about 15° an hour, so a time recorded to the nearest half hour places your lines within roughly 800 km. Drag the slider and watch what shifts and what stays put. Most people find their lines are steadier than they expected.

Found somewhere worth a closer look?

A relocation chart takes one place and shows your whole chart as it reads from there, same planets, rebuilt houses. It is the detail behind a line on this map.

Understanding the technique

What the lines are, what the angles mean, how a paran works, and how to use any of it without moving country for the wrong reason.
