Introduction to Astrocartography

An astrologer certified in Astrocartography (ACG) can tell you not only when to plan your quests for love, satisfaction and dream career, but also where to look for them. To get the best ACG consultation, go to an astrologer certified in this technique. For an astrologer to succeed in the certification process is a true challenge. I understand that most candidates fail to be certified by the panel of reviewers.

The reason that this rigorous process is mandated is that any astrologer can purchase a mapping program and recommend simply that you go to a Venus line for love, Jupiter line for expanded finances, etc., etc. This can prove to be very troublesome. Let’s just say I’m an astrologer untrained in ACG. I look at your map and encourage you to simply move to your Jupiter line to find expanded wealth, and the only thing that “expands” there is your waistline. You would not be happy with me as your astrologer!

With that caveat, astrological mapping can be an absolutely remarkable tool in the right hands.

The primary rule to remember is that while you can very powerfully emphasize influences in your chart with location, you can’t escape your birth chart (nor would you want to; you chose it!). A few client examples might help you see how mapping works in your chart. Another crucial element is if the planet is rising or descending, or high overhead at the location at the time of birth.

A client of many years has Venus conjunct Uranus, a truly powerful combination in his romantic and financial life. The client’s Venus-Uranus lines met over Alabama, and the woman who was his partner for many years spent her childhood there. Considering the origins or location of an important person in your life can be as powerful as going to that location.

While there were other aspects that indicated the almost irresistible quality of the relationship, Venus (romance/beauty/finance) worked with exciting/erratic/disruptive Uranus to describe the relationship. The voluptuous partner provided a hot sex life. She also had an erratic, disturbing side that disrupted his home life and finances. Ultimately, the marriage became unbearable for this earthy Taurus, but there were many exciting times!

A woman with Jupiter directly overhead at birth has returned to her birthplace, giving Jupiter great prominence. While she is immensely popular and lives very comfortably in this location, she is also deeply troubled by issues of her appearance and weight. Both sides of Jupiter show here.

Finally, a client’s husband left her for an old girlfriend in Detroit. The client’s Venus was conjunct Neptune (idealism/illusion/deception, etc.) in her 2nd house (finance). Her progressed Venus was over Detroit at the time. While she was highly generous regarding the settlement (Venus/Neptune), the monthly checks (Venus) arrived from Detroit while Venus was visiting that location on her map.

So, are you feeling itchy to travel for romance, or do you want to know the best location to find a job? Contact one of our psychics, or if you’d like to learn about your personal map with a certified ACG astrologer, I can entertain your questions on our blog.
