Astrocartography and the Significance of Birth Chart Placements

In episode 422 astrologer Helena Woods joins the podcast to talk about astrocartography, which is the astrology of travel and relocation, and can be used to find the best places to live. Astrocartography was developed in the 1970s by the astrologer Jim Lewis, and since that time it has become a popular application of the astrology that is used to study how your location in different parts of the world can emphasize different parts of your birth chart. Astrocartography is an extension of relocational astrology, where the birth chart is recalculated for different locations on Earth, and it uses an innovative graphic imaging approach in order to visualize the planetary lines of power across the globe. During the course of the episode we give an introduction to astrocartography and an overview of how it works, and also discuss some chart examples to demonstrate how it can be used in practice. Helena specializes in astrocartography, and has a popular YouTube channel where she talks about it and shares vlogs of her travels around the world.
