Overview
Astrocartography (A*C*G) shows where each planet was angular (on the ASC, DSC, MC, or IC) at the moment of birth. These lines, mapped onto the world, reveal locations of heightened planetary influence. AstroWay renders all lines on an interactive MapLibre GL map with: - 11 planets × 4 line types = 44 A*C*G lines - Color-coded by planet for easy identification - Click any location to see which lines are nearby - Influence zones showing orb of effect
A*C*G Lines
For each planet, four lines are drawn: - ASC line — planet rising (eastern horizon) - DSC line — planet setting (western horizon) - MC line — planet culminating (highest point) - IC line — planet at nadir (lowest point) Lines are calculated with full precision using Swiss Ephemeris, accounting for geographic latitude, atmospheric refraction, and planetary parallax.
Relocation
Explore how your chart changes at different locations: - Click any point on the map to see the relocated chart - Houses shift based on new geographic coordinates - Planet-to-house placements update in real time - Compare your natal chart with the relocated version Relocation interpretations describe planetary influences specific to each geographic area.
CCG (Cyclo*Carto*Graphy)
CCG maps progressed A*C*G lines — showing how your geographical influences evolve over time: - Secondary progressions projected onto the world map - Date picker to see lines for any point in time - Fast planet mode (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) or all planets - MC shift toggle for Jim Lewis method - Mundane and local aspect analysis at selected locations
Eclipse Paths
Visualize solar and lunar eclipse paths on the map: - Total, partial, and annular eclipse tracks - Historical and future eclipses - Eclipse path width and center line - Integration with natal chart — see which eclipses affect your planets
Local Space
Local space lines radiate from your birth location (or current location) in the direction of each planet's azimuth: - Show directional influence of each planet - Lines extend across the globe following great circle paths - Useful for understanding the geography of planetary influence relative to where you live
