Have you ever traveled to a new city and felt completely aligned, almost like you were destined to be there? In astrology, there’s a fun practice that allows you to see which cities in the world make you feel more confident, connected, lucky, or even point you in the direction of love! Astrocartography (or locational astrology) is a practice that was developed back in the 1970s and has taken off in recent years as travelers start to align themselves with the right places around the world for travel, moves, and more!
In astrocartography, everyone’s astrological lines have unique placements imprinted on a map of the world (you can find yours HERE by inputting your exact birth time, date, and location). On the map, you will see many different colored lines laid out around the world, but the ones that are especially prosperous for traveling are the sun, Jupiter, and Venus.
The next lines to look for are your moon to find what will make you feel at home, and your Mercury to help you find places that help you connect with others. The potency of your astrological lines can be felt within a 250-mile radius of the line’s placement, so as an example: if you have a positive astrocartography line running through Nashville, TN, it would still be worthwhile to check out Moxy Chattanooga Downtown just 130 miles away to get those energetic benefits!
Read on below to figure out what each of these lines means and how to use them when planning your next trip!
Sun: When you travel to your sun line using astrocartography, expect to feel confident, radiant, and happy. There is a level of optimism and power that comes from staying along your sun line that feels utterly delightful. Others will notice your shine while you’re on your sun lines, too! Don’t be surprised if you are approached or complimented more often while residing on your sun lines.
Jupiter: Jupiter is the planet of good luck, expansion, and optimism. There is something magical about traveling to a city that’s crossed over by your Jupiter line. You may notice new opportunities arriving out of thin air for business, money, friendships, and more! Anything working in your life will see an added boost from your travels along your Jupiter lines!
Venus: Things are heating up! Venus lines help us to feel more confident and beautiful, and people can’t help but take notice when we are in our Venus-influenced cities. Venus is the planet of love, sex, beauty, and money, so when you are traveling along your Venus lines, you will notice a positive uptick in all of these areas. These are great places to open your heart up to romantic love, flirtation, beauty treatments, financial opportunities, and improving existing relationships of all kinds.
Mercury: Talk about mentally stimulating! Mercury line cities are bound to feel connective, interesting, and chatty. You will notice that it’s much easier to connect with other people on your Mercury line cities, allowing you to share your thoughts and learn about others and the world around you with more ease. Making friends, writing, networking, speaking, and learning are all favored here.
Moon: More of a neutral line than an outwardly positive line, your moon line will bring a sense of comfort and feel like home. You might find that you are more vulnerable and sensitive on these lines, allowing you to open up and get to the root of your problems more easily. These are great places to unwind, relax, throw on a cozy outfit, and surrender to your raw emotions. If you’ve struggled with feeling grounded, the cities under these lines can help you reassess what it is that you need in your life to make you feel safe and secure.
