*Introduction
This report explores the potential energies available for you in a particular location in the
world. The report has evolved from a technique called astromapping, which overlays your
chart on a map of the world using various methods. This overlay means that certain planets
will be stronger in particular geographical areas. Through interpreting these planetary
energies we can have an astrological map which tells us the best place to apply for
promotions, to go on holidays, to meet lovers, and to live more fulfilled lives in the areas that
are important to us. Let the explorations begin.

*Sun conjunct Moon
The energy of this combination lends itself to new beginnings. Under this influence
you will focus on your image and your feelings, possibly changing the way you see
yourself and adopting a new image. It is an opportunity to gain self-confidence and
increased self-esteem, conquering new frontiers that you never before thought you
could. Self-expression and self-reliance are more likely to dominate your life than
reliance on others. For this reason you may need to also make sure that you do not
become too egocentric.
*Sun conjunct Mercury
This will encourage effective communications. Therefore it is beneficial for
projects such as writing, media work, sales, and study. You will enjoy intellectual
stimulation, and look for avenues through which to communicate your ideas. The
old saying that people have "the gift of the gab" will apply to you under this
influence, and you will probably receive recognition for your communication skills.
You may tend to talk about yourself and your own interests rather than listen to
others.
*Sun conjunct Venus
The energy here is such that you are gentle, loving and charming. You will express
yourself in an affectionate manner and enjoy the company of other people. You
may also develop or increase a love of art and beauty. Personal relationships may
come into focus, particularly the person closest to your heart. It is more likely that
you will be the centre of attention in your relationships, rather than the emphasis
being on the other person. Idealism will be emphasised, particularly in the area of
personal relationships.
