Introduction to Astro-locality Mapping
Contents
In natal astrology we explore the energies of the planets and constellations, and sometimes other cosmic entities, at the time and place of our birth. We take the exact moment of our birth and mathematically construct a birth or natal chart for the place where we are born. From these chart calculations we interpret meanings. Our modern day birth chart interpretations have sprung forth from ancient roots - ancient times when most people did not roam far from home.
However, in modern times many people travel far from their birth places. Exploration of foreign lands for the purposes of going on holidays, travelling for work, and moving home has become common place, particularly amongst the populations of affluent countries.
As a result of this, astrologers have begun to research and experiment with what happens when an individual travels temporarily or permanently to a location other than their birth place. Questions have arisen as to whether or not the birth chart needs to be modified to adapt it to the new location, and subsequently different theories have arisen.
In Solar Maps we have provided the tools for astrologers to further experiment with the different methods of astro-locality mapping. We have used the term “astro-locality mapping” in a general sense, intending it to apply to the full range of astrological techniques that can be used in relation to maps of any regions or localities. (Another, similar term that is sometimes used is “geographical astrology”.)
Some of these tools have been used since ancient times to determine the fate of countries in what is called Mundane Astrology, and even the “Star in the East” indicating the birth of Christ was used as an astro-locality mapping pointer to guide the three wise men.
However, the use of astro-locality mapping in natal astrology has only quite recently been developed to any great extent.
