"The Astrocartography Kit" is a popular and affordable way to have all the tools you will need to locate your "best places" across the world - based on the where your natal planets are strongest.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
First, you must understand the principles upon which Astrocartography is based. The research of Michael Gaugelin, who studied the charts of thousands of famous people (those who excelled in their fields), discovered that the qualities for which they achieved renown corresponded to planets that were close to one of the 4 angles in their natal charts: the Ascendant and the Midheaven being strongest for public life, the Descendant best for quality of relationship, and the Nadir intensified ones inner life, family or genetic influence.
His work was then taken a step further by Jim Lewis who postulated that, not only was it true that natal planets on the angles expressed strongly in the life of the individual, but that moving to places where planets are on the angles in the relocated chart has a marked tendency to increase the potency of that planet's influence in one's life experience and expression as well. Then he spent his life corroborating his theories as well as accomplishing the task of creating a software program that draws lines on a map to show where each of the planets are on the Angles and therefore strongest. Jim Lewis was the Father of modern Astrocartography.
Now these tools are available to us all! I invite you to try out different locations to test Jim's theories and to discover your "best place" for love, career, family life, intellectual development, athletic prowess, creative expression, making money, or finding self-fulfillment. With the tools provided by Astrocartography, alot of the guess work is elliminated, so that your chances of success are greatly enhanced.
WHAT IS AN ASTROCARTOGRAPHY MAP?
Here's an example:
The colored lines represent where the various planets are on an Angle: As=Ascendant, Mc=Midheaven, Ds=Descendant, and Ic=Imun Coeli or Nadir. Notice that the Midheaven and IC lines are vertical (representing the 10th house and 4th house cusps of an astrology chart) and the Ascending (1st house cusp) and Descending (7th house cusp) lines curve in waves across the map.
The heavy lines are the Astrocartography (ACG) lines but you will notice another set of finer lines that conjoin at the place of birth and its opposite point. These are known as "Local Space" or "Planetary Direction" lines and they also indicate places with their planetary influences are strong, although less strong than the ACG lines.
Another kind of astrological influence are "Parans" which, athough not easy to determine on the maps, are included in the relocation reports for any given city. Parans are where ACG lines cross and their more subtle effect is a blend of the influences of the 2 planets whose ACG lines cross at a particular latitude. Because they are "latitude-specific", all places around the world within 2 degrees of the latitude crossing are affected by the combined energy of the two planetary influences. For example, if a Venus line crosses a Jupiter line at 35 degrees north latitude, the VE/JU influence (a blend of both Venus and Jupiter qualities) affects all locations near 35 degrees north latitude. That means that you will feel the lucky influence in Fayetteville South Carolina, Memphis Tennessee, Albuquerque New Mexico, and Bakersville California, as well in Crete and Southern Japan - all located near the 35 degree north parallel.
HOW CAN I READ MY MAPS?
Several aides are included in your KIT to help you read your maps:
1) A NATAL CHART is included. This is important because the lines that correspond to well-aspected planets in your natal chart will generally be more beneficial than poorly-aspected planets. Where a natal planet is both has both easy (trines and sextiles) and hard (squares and oppositions) aspects to it, those planetary lines may bring a mixed blessing and will carry many of the same issues as are reflected in the natal chart. Sometimes the least-aspected planet may have an additional destiny role to play in your life as well.
2) YOU WILL RECEIVE 6 MAPS - a natal, progressed and transiting map for the Continent of your choice (USA unless otherwise indicated) and for the World. Life is a blend of ever changing influences so a natal map alone won't tell you all you need to know. One must consider layering the influences to get a better idea about what a location has in store. A wonderful natal location can be plagued with some difficult or even dangerous influences for a number of years, although it may again be a good location at a later date. Without progressed and transiting maps, you wouldn't realize that you are headed for trouble if you go to such a place at a "bad time". Details are clearer on the Continent Map, but you may want to explore travel abroad so the World maps cover all options.
3) A BOOKLET called "Planets on the Angles" gives you an interpretive meaning for each of the major lines on your map. For instance, if you are interested in a location near a SUN Ascending Line, you can read about Sun on the Ascendant and how you will likely feel or what you might experience on a Sun Ascending line.
4) THREE RELOCATION REPORTS, each approximately 6 to 8 pages long, for any 3 cities in the world of your choosing are included, with both natal and progressed readings. Transits change far too quickly to be helpful without a specific travel date. (Additional relocation reports can be added for an extra $5 per city over the 3 included.)
5) RELOCATED CHARTS are provided with each City Report. Since the Angles of our chart change as we travel east or west, so do the house placements of your natal planets change with alteration in latitude and longitude. It's helpful to know what areas of influence the newly rotated planets will affect in the new location, such as what sign will be Rising (how people see you and how you are likely to feel personally) - or on the Midheaven (how your career may develop) - or on the Descendant (how relationships are affected) - or on the IC (what your home life will be like). There are ALOT of things to consider before responding to the lure of "greener pastures".
6) A LIST OF PARANS for natal Latitudes so you will also be informed of the more subtle factors affecting different latitudes.
WHAT WILL MY KIT LOOK LIKE?
Your 6 maps will be in plastic report covers along with your 3 relocation reports in the 3-hole pronged center of a pocket folder which opens like a notebook. Your Charts, the Booklet, your List of Parans and other support materials with be tucked in the two side pockets of your folder so that you have a nicely contained packet of materials that can be used for pondering and research for years to come, or easily slid into a bookshelf for future reference.
