Relocation Astrology and Astrocartography

As political instability and rapid change spread around the globe creating forces that effect us beyond our control, how can we respond to present challenges and yet also fulfill our goals?

Astrocartography and relocation astrology point to places where planetary influences will attract particular experiences, opportunities and manifest realities that would otherwise be dormant. Combining the placement of planets and houses in our natal charts with the lines of influence that spread throughout the globe, intersections of energies exist giving rise to synergies of inner and outer forces that compel ourselves to greater heights and deeper insights.

The people we encounter in these zones can recognize qualities and promote our ideas, careers and agendas. Hidden to our ordinary awareness, circumstances in life can cause us to have attractions to exotic locations that often correspond with these planetary lines. Revealing inner dimensions, making new connections, expanding the scope of our lives and much more are latent potentials in places that await our discovery.

The Five Elements and Spatial Consciousness

The five elements of nature in Vedic Astrology begins with the most subtle layer called ether which is often thought of as space and while be spacious, it is not vacuous. It has something of the potential for texture, like the surface of a petri dish that has an uneven distribution where growth at certain zones will be antecedent to others.

In the context of astrology it is described of as an umbrella of space in which the potentials of our personal birth chart are constellated. Jupiter rules the ether element and through this association we see that the ether element's function is to create space and spaces for things to manifest, infinitely creative and always expanding. The root of the multiplicity is found here along with the potentials of experience spread throughout the globe.

This is the element that we work with primarily in astrocartography. Currents of pressurized space become differentiated into directional flows that assume relationships to each other in what come to be called the four directions. The action of the air element makes further divisions into eight and finally ten directions.

The Four Cardinal Points of Power

Within these vectors, four points take on particular importance:

Taking the coordinates of the planets from our individual birth chart we can find these four points of influence concentrating in lines that wrap around the globe. The significance of these lines when combined with the symbology of the planets make meaningful experiences arise when we travel to a locations that are within their influence.

It is then advantageous to be under beneficial lines with the definition of beneficial being flexible as a Mars line will be experienced by the athlete much different than the artist. One's chart and the orientation of the planets therein must also be considered to get an accurate account.

Case Study: Elon Musk and the Jupiter Midheaven Line

The above astrocartography map is of Elon Musk who has now become a major player on the world stage and this can be seen by astrocartography and none other than the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is symbolic of many things; wealth, expansion, expansive vision, seeing in all directions at once and a source of wisdom and joy among others and it's no surprise that his first entrance into a new realm of wealth came exactly on a Jupiter line.

This was not any Jupiter line, it was the midheaven line which rules the zenith and the highest heights that we might obtain. This is where Elon first became involved with PayPal and when it was acquired his first fortune from which he went on to invest in other companies that were to cement his expanded role with humanity.

The fact that his Jupiter occupies the 5th house of luck, grace, speculation and creativity shows that he was at the right place to take extraordinary risks that almost had him bankrupt and yet ultimately proved to give him wealth beyond the reach of any other human on earth.

Practical Applications of Astrocartography
