Choosing A City With Astrocartography
Now that you know which cities correspond with which astrological signs based on the date of founding or incorporation, you can use this information to choose cities that resonate with you based on locational astrology or astrocartography. This resonance based on astrological energies is one of the reasons why we may prefer some cities and countries over others.
Astrocartography shows where specific planetary energies in our own natal chart show up over a specific region such as a city, country, or continent. This particular type of locational astrology helps us hone in on locations that feature specific astrological energies so that we can decide whether we want to live or visit these particular locations.
The Importance of Planetary Lines
With astrocartography, it is important to note how your specific natal planetary energies are experienced at specific locations to determine what you are likely to experience. For example, if your moon line goes through Chicago, this means that you may feel emotional and possibly want to put down roots in this city. In order to really know what the full experience of living in Chicago is like, you would have to look at your moon sign and any aspects associated with the moon in your natal chart.
So, let’s say you have a moon square Saturn, this adds an additional color to your experience in Chicago where the square to Saturn could have you feeling abandoned, and depressed, and life could be emotionally difficult. So, when using astrocartography, it is important to not only look at the planetary line that is moving through a particular location, but it’s also necessary to consider the aspects of that particular planet to determine the overall experience you’ll have in that specific location.
The following is an overview and general explanation of the main planetary lines of astrocartography.
Sun Line
The location of the sun line boosts our ego and puts us in the spotlight. At this location, we feel warm and confident with a sense of inner purpose. It is important to be careful of becoming ego-driven and selfish at this location.
Moon Line
Moon line locations make us want to put down roots. We are much more in touch with our emotions, and there is a desire to get in touch with our family, and there could even be a desire to settle down and have a family. The moon line location also increases the need for emotional security and forming relationships with those with whom we can have trusted emotional bonds.
Mercury Line
Locations on the Mercury line are quite active with us wanting to get out and really explore the local environments. Learning and socializing is at a peak on the Mercury line. There is also a tendency towards noticing details and there is a nervousness to our energy on the Mercury line.
Venus Line
Many enjoy living or visiting locations on their Venus line as it represents everything that we find aesthetically pleasing. It is here that we find socialization and camaraderie with others quite easy. At this location, it is also possible to meet love partners, and there is a focus on increasing finances.
Mars Line
Living and vacationing on the Mars line creates some active energy that leads to competition and even disagreements. We may encounter people and circumstances that we may feel are combative and against us. On the flip side, Mars line locations motivate us to stand up for ourselves and get ahead in life.
Jupiter Line
Living on your Jupiter line is equivalent to being someplace where you feel lucky and prosperous. It is here that we genuinely feel as if things are going our way and we are always on the path of abundance. At Jupiter line locations, we want to experience all the great things in life. However, it is important that we be careful about overdoing everything, as Jupiter is the planet that represents expansion. Living on the Jupiter line can also increase weight.
Saturn Line
The Saturn line is considered one of the most difficult location lines. These locations create circumstances where we experience tough times, limitations, and setbacks. The experience of the Saturn line could present the feeling of being held back making it harder to achieve what we desire. We also may find that we work a lot harder in these locations due to the energy of Saturn. The Saturn line is preferred for experiences that require hard work and dedication for success.
Uranus Line
Living on the Uranus line can be equated to living on an earthquake fault. This particular line makes things quite electric and unique. However, it can be difficult to settle down in locations on the Uranus line because it is here that we are more willing to block traditional systems and ways of being to live authentically. These locations could present out-of-the-blue epiphanies that expand our consciousness and give us important futuristic insights.
Neptune Line
The Neptune line is usually a dreamy, magical place that is great for anything creative and spiritual. However, the energy of Neptune makes these locations difficult for anything that requires groundedness and focus. If you are looking to go on a spiritual retreat, check out your Neptune line as this energy supports going with the flow and spiritual connectivity. Just a heads up, Neptune also rules delusion, illusions, deception, and escape, so be aware of being taken advantage of at locations on the Neptune line.
Pluto Line
Next to Saturn, Pluto is another one of the heavier lines to reside on for any length of time. Due to the nature of Pluto, these particular locations bring in transformative experiences from healing to death which will allow us to release anything that holds us back from our truest selves. It is possible to address traumas and also experience them on the Pluto line locations. Meeting people who are a catalyst for our own growth and awareness is likely on a Pluto line.
Now that you know more about the astrology of cities, location astrology, and astrocartography provide an understanding of why we may prefer some physical locations more than others and how we can make those physical locations work for us to our benefit.
