What Is Astrocartography?

Astrocartography — also called relocation astrology or locational astrology — answers one powerful question: Where in the world is each planet most active for me?

At the moment of your birth, every planet occupied a specific position in the sky — but that position looks different depending on where on Earth you are standing. Astrocartography maps these positions onto a world map as a series of curved lines. Where you live or travel near one of these lines, that planet's energy is amplified in your life.

A city on your Venus line may bring love and beauty into your daily life. A city on your Jupiter line may bring expansion and financial opportunity. A city on your Saturn line may demand discipline and hard work — but can build an enduring legacy if you stay.

The Four Line Types: MC, IC, AC & DC

MC — Midheaven

Career & public reputation

The planet was at its highest point in the sky at your birth. Near MC lines, that planet's energy shapes what you become known for.

IC — Imum Coeli

Home, roots & private life

The planet was at its lowest point underground. IC lines govern where you feel most "at home" on a soul level.

AC — Ascendant

Identity & first impressions

The planet was rising on the eastern horizon. Near AC lines, the planet colours your personality and how others see you.

DC — Descendant

Relationships & partnerships

The planet was setting on the western horizon. Near DC lines, you attract partners who embody that planet's energy.

What Each Planetary Line Means

The closer you are to a line (within ~700 km), the stronger its influence on your life in that location.

☉ SunRecognition, vitality & authentic self

Places where you feel most fully yourself. Sun MC lines are powerful for career visibility and leadership.

Frequently Asked Questions About Astrocartography

What is astrocartography?

Astrocartography (also called relocation astrology or locational astrology) is a technique that maps where each planet in your natal chart was on the horizon or at the meridian anywhere on Earth at your birth moment. These positions are drawn as curved lines across a world map. Where you live or travel near these lines, that planet's energy becomes amplified in your life.

How does an astrocartography map work?

For each planet, there are four lines: the MC line (planet at its highest point — career and public life), the IC line (planet at its lowest point — home and roots), the AC line (planet rising on the eastern horizon — identity and first impressions), and the DC line (planet setting on the western horizon — relationships and partnerships). Each combination of planet and line type creates a specific energy in that location.

What is a Venus line in astrocartography?

Your Venus lines are among the most sought-after in astrocartography. Cities near your Venus MC line tend to be excellent for career recognition in creative fields, beauty, or diplomacy. Cities near your Venus DC line often bring harmonious relationships and romantic connections. Venus AC lines amplify your personal charm and attractiveness in that location.

What is a Jupiter line in astrocartography?

Jupiter lines are associated with expansion, luck, abundance, and opportunity. Cities near your Jupiter MC line are often excellent for career growth and professional recognition. Jupiter IC lines make a place feel fortunate and philosophically nourishing as a home. Jupiter AC lines can bring a sense of optimism, confidence, and good fortune to wherever you are.

What is the difference between MC, IC, AC, and DC lines?

MC (Midheaven) lines run vertically and represent where a planet was at its highest point in the sky — associated with career, public reputation, and life direction. IC (Imum Coeli) lines are directly opposite and represent home, roots, and private life. AC (Ascendant) lines are curved and represent where a planet was rising — affecting identity and how you come across. DC (Descendant) lines are opposite the AC and affect relationships and partnerships.

How close do I need to be to an astrocartography line?

The general orb for astrocartography is 700 km (roughly 400 miles) from a line. Within this distance, the planet's energy is considered actively influential. The closer you are, the stronger the effect. Cities directly on a line (within 100 km) tend to feel the energy most intensely.

Is astrocartography free?

Yes. A free account includes the interactive astrocartography world map, planetary lines, location details, and Best Places suggestions for reflection.

Who invented astrocartography?

Astrocartography was developed and trademarked by Jim Lewis, an American astrologer, in the 1970s. He published his findings in the late 1970s and the technique has grown significantly in popularity since then, particularly in the age of remote work and global relocation.
