Your traditional birth chart is a diagram of the heavens at the time of your birth, at a specific region.
Because relocation astrology entails moving your birthplace to a different location at the SAME TIME, you’ll need to be familiar with time zones and daylight saving time.
The longitude and latitude utilized in the natal or birth chart are changed, but the time, or time zone, remains the same.
Your relocated chart has the same planetary aspects and patterns as your original chart, but the location has moved.
Your birth chart will still reflect the same moment in time as your birth, but in a different region of the world.
The astrological axis, rising and falling points, and the ic and mcthe will all alter in your chart.

What is the purpose of relocation charts?
Your birth chart is a map of the sky at the precise time and location of your birth, indicating where all of the planets, the sun, moon, and other points of interest were in the sky at the moment of your birth. This same moment is captured for all of the planets in the relocated chart, but in a different city and consequently at a different time of day. If you were born in New York City at 12:00 p.m., it was 9:00 a.m. in Los Angeles, 6:00 p.m. in Paris, and so on. The map has been repositioned to account for the new city’s time zone and geographic coordinates. Don’t worry, your sun or moon sign won’t alter as a result of the relocated chart. It has no effect on the sign or degree of any of the planets in your horoscope. The rising sign (or ascendant degree) and, as a result, the rest of the angles, including the midheaven (or career point), the IC (or home point), and the DC (or relationship point), as well as the rest of the houses in your chart, are affected.
Here’s where you may make your own relocated chart. If you’re new to the technique, start with the new rising sign, which will provide you with a wealth of information. If you’re a Libra rising on the East Coast, for example, you’re most likely a Leo rising on the West Coast. You’re sweet and polite in one area and bold and elegant in another. From here, you can keep track of which planets become more prominent as time goes on, and you can go even more advanced by looking at how planets fall into different houses in each chart.
Which planet is in charge of the relocation?
We already know that a person’s character, looks, moods, actions, and life choices are influenced by the planets and their relative positions to his or her place of birth. But what happens when someone moves away from their home? Of course, he will continue to have the same skills or unresolved challenges, but by altering the fundamental planetary energies, he can either exacerbate his current problems, significantly alleviate them, or attract the most advantageous influences for certain accomplishments. What relocational astrology does is provide you a map of the entire world with pins pointing to the locations where your natal planetary placements will have the biggest impact. For example, everyone has the planet Venus in their horoscopes, which is responsible for material things, but some people have it in a very powerful position in their chart (thus, they easily get money), while others have it in a very weak position (therefore, they struggle to acquire money) (hence, not much luck in financial endeavors). Of course, it’s never so straightforward, because you have to consider the entire horoscope, not just one aspect, but let’s suppose it’s the rule. So, if you want to boost your Venus’s power and ability to attract money, you can relocate to a location where your Venus is considerably stronger, which we call relocating beneath a Venus line. Let’s have a look at an anonymous client’s map:
She comes from another continent, and because she did not have any powerfully placed planets (planets on an astrology anglethe angles of the birth chart are the most powerful points) while she was there, her potential was not fully developed. However, she then relocated to London, and as you can see, there is a significant convergence of planetary lines around the United Kingdom. Considering that each line has a maximum influence of 300 miles on both sides, we can see that Britain is surrounded by five major planetary lines. However, because they are closest to London, the black Pluto Line and the lavender Neptune One have had the greatest impact. So, what does Pluto mean? He is the God of the Underworld, and he takes you to the pits of Hell, the dark side of things, power struggles, violence, strong passions, taboo subjects, hidden skeletons, illegal activities, obsessions on the one hand, and transformation, healing, personal power, regeneration, psychological work, big corporations, control of big resources, and strong ambition on the other. However, it is linked to extremesforcing you to go to Purgatory to meet your Demons in order to return cleaned but toughened.
Pluto is associated with reputation, career, social position, and social image, and most of the difficult manifestations associated with Pluto have manifested in her life at some point. But, because Pluto is the Phoenix bird’s symbol, whatever crises and painful experiences one may face, one emerges stronger and more bright from the ashes, ready to take on the world! She began moving in circles of highly powerful individuals from the outset, but she said that she was intimidated and afraid of themalmost as if they were dark rulers of the Universe (Pluto). She began taking job after job, only to lose them all due to power disputes with the bosses (Pluto on the career line). She afterwards became involved in the illegal business of falsifying documents and distributing drugs. She was able to get out of there uninjured and start her own escort service! All of her unlawful career activities had to be kept disguised because she was advancing up the social ladder! (So far, all of these are Plutonian manifestations linked to the chart’s social status/career angle)
But, as is always the case with Pluto, things never stay the same for long and continue to shift completely! At the same time, she began studying psychology (Pluto) with the goal of better understanding herself and possibly turning it into a career. Soon after, she met her lover, Pluto, who was an extremely strong and dominating man who began grooming her for a high-ranking position in his large corporation. Now she works happily for a large firm (pluto) and is finally living Pluto’s positive, empowered expressions! Wow, this Pluto isn’t boring at all, is it? It’s not a fairytale, but it surely keeps you on your toes and challenges you to change. But I doubt she would have handled all of these events with such easy if it hadn’t been for the influence of Neptune and Venus near to London! Both planets have a soothing and feminine impact. Neptune causes you to see the world through rose-colored glasses, almost as if you’re in a dreamlike state where you live in your own universe of whatever you choose to believe. It also makes you incomprehensible and adaptable; you can project any image you choose to others, and they will never be able to see through the veil.
Neptune aided her in keeping her secrets and glitzy attire hidden from society. However, it also assisted her in surviving all of Pluto’s gloom without comprehending the extent of its bad aspects. Despite everything, the Venus line enabled her to be happy, popular, financially successful, and safe. I’ve seen people who migrate to live beneath one of their Saturn lines face numerous challenges and roadblocks. They must labor considerably harder and longer for less compensation, but if Saturn is nicely aspected in their horoscope, all of their efforts pay off by constructing incredibly strong, unshakeable foundations. However, under this line, life will always feel a little bit gloomier and less colorful. On the other side, Jupiter line territories constantly present you with a plethora of options, benevolently inclined people, opportunity to broaden your horizons, and an optimistic mindset. If Jupiter is well aspected in your chart, you will take full advantage of these opportunities and advance your growth; however, if Jupiter is badly aspected, there is a tendency to just live the good life extravagantly and not make the most of all the opportunities, though one will still feel much better there.
When you move, does your natal chart change?
You won’t transform into a happy-go-lucky Libra just because you go to, say, Maryland. When you travel, the planets and signs in your horoscope don’t change, but the “houses” they’re in do. The Zodiac is a wheel with 12 “houses,” each of which represents a different aspect of your life: sex and dating, friendships and community, career and finances, health and daily routines, and so on. (A complete list can be found here.)
You can carefully place specific heavenly bodies into certain dwellings when you migrate to better those aspects of your life. So, if you’re wanting to advance in a specific area of your life, such as your job which is to say, a specific house, such as the 10th Angel will help you figure out which locales in which time zones will provide you with “gravy for the biscuits” according to astrological mandates. You can try out several places to observe how they treat you, how people perceive you, and what aspects of your personality they tease out or shore up.
According to astrocartography, where should I move?
It’s ideal to use the lines of helpful planets like the sun, Venus, and Jupiter while using astrocartography. Mercury is a neutral element. The moon offers a sense of comfort and warmth.
In Astrocartography, what do the lines mean?
Midheaven (MC), Lower Midheaven (IC), Point of Ascendant (AC), and Point of Descent (PD) are four lines that symbolize each planet’s energy with a minor twist: Midheaven (MC), Lower Midheaven (IC), Point of Ascendant (AC), and Point of Descent (PD) (DC). The midheaven line has some of the most powerful influences on your social and professional lives, while the lower midheaven influences your sense of belonging in the world, affecting your home, family, and community interactions. The Ascendant represents how you portray yourself, while the Descendant represents what you attract and experience via others.
What is the Astrocartography of my Venus line?
Isn’t it a little frantic? To read it, you must first understand the forces that each planet possesses. I was able to grasp the basics of astronomy thanks to Dubinet’s Intro to Astrogeography video lectures. However, here’s a quick summary.
- Sun line: This is what Dubinet refers to as our “famous and reputation” line. It’s how people perceive us. If you want to be an actor and Los Angeles is on your sun line, that would be the ideal position.
- Our feminine nature, our nurturing qualities, and our ambitions are all represented by the moon line. Are you ready to start a family? Take a vacation somewhere on your moon line or channel the energy of the moon.
- The Neptune line represents our spirituality. Go somewhere on your Neptune line if you wish to connect to the unconscious or investigate the secrets of existence.
- Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, relationships, and affection, as well as fashion and the arts. “It’s where you’ll look and feel the most beautiful, according to Dubinet. Are you finally ready to meet the one? On your Venus line, you might run into them.
- In terms of achievement, Mars represents passion and fire. It’s your manly, competitive force that’s opposite the moon.
- Mercury line: Mercury is the planet of communication; it’s the place to go if you want to improve your writing talents, for example, if you want to publish a novel.
- Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, favors, and abundance. It’s a lucky charm for you.
- Dubinet refers to this as the Saturn line “planet of the taskmaster It’s a more difficult line that emphasizes discipline, order, and rules. It may not be enjoyable to live on, but it would be ideal for short-term purposes, such as deciding where to attend college.
- Uranus line: Uranus, the planet opposite Saturn, is associated with rebelliousness, surprises, and change. As part of an Eat, Pray, Love journey, go here for an off-the-beaten-path excursion.
- The Pluto line is feared by many individuals because it implies death and rebirth. It is, however, a planet of radical transition, making it the ideal spot to visit if you need to shake things up and emerge a new person.
- The asteroid Chiron is known as the wounded healer, according to Dubinet. It has a patient and gentle energy that aids us in helping others. (It’s something to think about for that Peace Corps application.)
- North and south nodes: These correspond to the moon and indicate a karmic link. You may get dj deja vu or a sense of familiarity, as if you’ve been there before. If you’ve ever visited Ireland (or anywhere else) for the first time and felt at ease, you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
The lines in your chart also move through four different angles. You could note that you have two Venus lines on the map, each relating to a different aspect of life depending on where they are on the map. One can have the code AC next to it, while another might have MC. Here’s how to figure out what each one is about:
- Rising (AC): When a planet is ascending, it represents your outward self-expression, or how you portray yourself to the world. If you travel to the location of an ascending planet, you will take on the appearance and energies of that planet. Is your Venus set to cool? This is the ideal mix for exuding physical attractiveness.
- The Imum Coeli (IC) expresses your sense of place in the world. The forces of the influencing planet will help you to find your center. If Pluto is on the IC in your horoscope, you may experience turmoil in your personal relationships.
- Midheaven (MC): If a planet is on the midheaven, it has to do with how it influences you socially and professionally, as well as what you’re drawn to. Do you have your Mercury on the MC? This is literally the world pleading with you to create the next great American novel or pursue your aspirations of becoming a podcast host.
- Descendant (DC): This category indicates the energies you’re attracting from others, such as in partnerships and friendships. When it comes to partnerships, Dubinet advises caution, but if a favorable energetic force, such as Venus, Jupiter, or the Sun, is on the DC, it can bring about a permanent, beneficial connection.
You may also observe that some lines cross, run directly over, or are incredibly close to one another. This means that the energy of each line interact with one another, forming a unique entity. When traveling to or migrating to that location, you must consider all energies. Pro tip: If you hover your mouse over any of the lines or crossings in your chart, further information will appear on the right side of the website to help you figure out what they imply.
In astrology, do the houses move?
Once we’ve established how each planet and sign interact, we can look to the Houses to see where that energy is manifesting. Is Venus-Scorpio in the Second House of Material Objects, making a person more attracted to financially secure partners? Or is Venus-Scorpio in the Ninth House of Travel, indicating a preference for long-distance relationships? The planets in the Houses reveal the breadth of our experience as well as the subtleties of our personality.
The planets in the sky are constantly moving through our several Houses, despite the fact that our natal planets in the birth chart stay immovable. Each planet has its own orbit, but we travel through a complete solar cycle of all the Houses every year since we follow the sun’s 365-day cycle. To put it another way, everyone will be affected by the energy of each house at some point in their lives. Even if you aren’t a Cancer, because Cancer rules the Fourth House of Home and Family, these aspects of your life will demand your attention at some point.
What is the best place for a Pisces to live?
The sea is the finest place for Pisces to be. This water sign is outgoing and accommodating of others, with a taste for music, movies, and the arts. California is the state in which persons born under the sign of Pisces reside. It is known for promoting variety and for being the home of all things music and movies.
What is the frequency with which birth charts change?
The outer planets are those that are on the other side of the asteroid belt. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are significantly slower moving celestial bodies that change signs every one to thirty years. The outer planets define broader life themes and experiences that are passed down through generations.
The houses that the outer planets inhabit in a birth chart define their significance. Houses are the twelve divisions that make up a birth chart. Every home depicts a different aspect of life: Houses one through six deal with more practical issues like personal economics, the household, and habits, whereas houses seven through twelve deal with more abstract notions like philosophy, legacy, and psychic talents. The houses reveal where we store our energy, as well as our strengths and weaknesses, based on the positioning of the planets.
