Astrocartography Map Interpretation

Book excerpt: Astrocartography is an intriguing and sophisticated branch of astrology that maps planetary influences onto geographical locations. Developed by astrologer Jim Lewis in the 1970s, this practice offers insights into how the positions of celestial bodies at the time of your birth can affect your experiences in different parts of the world. By interpreting these maps, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of how various locations may enhance or challenge different aspects of their lives. In the realm of astrocartography, the world map is transformed into a celestial guide, marking the intersections of planetary energies with geographical locations. Key to this practice are planetary lines, which represent the positions where specific planets were rising, setting, reaching their zenith (highest point in the sky), or nadir (lowest point in the sky) at the moment of your birth. These lines, each carrying distinct astrological influences, offer profound insights into the potential experiences awaiting you in different regions.
