Astrocartography uses your birth chart to trace each planet's path across the world map to identify the locations that might significantly influence your life.

Each line provides a certain kind of energy you may experience when you travel within 600 miles of it.

The closer you are to your planetary lines, the stronger the effect, so it's best to aim for within 200 miles .

Some planetary lines are preferable to live near or visit compared to others.

There's a general saying in astrocartography, "West was best," coined by Jim Lewis , the astrologer who streamlined planet mapping.

Living west of a planetary line "makes that planetary line more angular and dynamic," which is only "better" if that is the desired effect and if the planet is well-aspected in your chart.

The other lines you'll see are the parans which are the horizontal latitude lines and are a blend of two planetary energies.
