The Globe — a walk-through

your lines drawn where they actually live, on the round Earth

Prototype

Astrocartography asks a simple question: where on Earth do the planets of your birth chart fall on the horizon and overhead? Those places carry the tone of the planet that rules them. This walk-through shows you everything the globe can do — from drawing a single chart and reading it for free, to mapping a whole soul group and finding where your power places converge. No prior astrology needed; every term is explained as we go.

What astrocartography is, in one minute

When you were born, each planet sat at some point in the sky. Astrocartography takes those positions and asks, for every spot on Earth: where was this planet exactly overhead, exactly underfoot, or exactly on the rising / setting horizon? Trace those answers across the planet and each one draws a line — a place where that planet's energy is said to run strongest.

Every planet draws up to four lines, named for the four "angles" of a chart:

MC — Midheaven · where the planet stands at its highest, overhead. The public noon: vocation, reputation, how the world sees you there.
IC — Imum Coeli · the opposite point, underfoot. Roots, home, the inward foundation.
ASC — Ascendant · where the planet is rising on the horizon. How you arrive and are met; vitality, first impression.
DESC — Descendant · where it is setting. The other: partnership, the mirror, who you draw toward you.

Why a globe, not a flat map A flat map has to tear the round Earth open to lie flat, and it distorts your lines worst exactly where they bend hardest — near the poles and where the rising/setting curves wrap around. On the globe they're drawn true: meridian lines run cleanly pole to pole, and the horizon curves wrap seamlessly with no seam or stretch.

1Drawing your chart on the globe

On the left is a simple form. Fill in:

Name · just a label for your chart.
Birth date & time · as exact as you have it. Time matters — the horizon lines (ASC/DESC) move quickly through the day.
Birth place · start typing a city and pick it from the list; the coordinates fill in automatically.
Timezone · the UTC offset for that birth place and date.

Press Draw on the globe and your lines are computed and drawn. The globe loads with a worked example — the project's founding chart — so you can explore before entering your own.

2Reading the globe

The astrocartography globe showing one chart's planetary lines wrapping a dark sphere, with planet glyphs riding each line, and a mini-reading below. — A single chart drawn on the globe, with the free mini-reading below.

The lines

Each planet's lines are drawn in its own color. The straight lines running pole to pole are the MC/IC meridian lines; the curving lines that wrap around are the ASC/DESC horizon lines.

The glyphs

Each line carries its planet's glyph — the classical symbol — riding right on it, so you never have to hunt a legend to know whose line you're looking at. Glyphs on the far side of the Earth hide behind the globe, so the picture stays clean.

☉ Sun ☽ Moon ☿ Mercury ♀ Venus ♂ Mars ♃ Jupiter ♄ Saturn ♅ Uranus ♆ Neptune ♇ Pluto ☊ N Node ☋ S Node

The birth pin & the legend

A bright white dot with a golden halo marks your birthplace, so you're always oriented. Below the globe, the legend lists every planet — tap any one to toggle its lines on or off and de-clutter the view.

3Your free mini-reading

The moment a chart is drawn, a reading appears below the globe — "✦ Your field, read freely" — at no cost. It has three parts:

Your strongest lines, at home · the planetary lines that run closest to your birthplace, ranked by distance, each with its classical meaning written out in plain language. These are the notes that played loudest in the field you were born into.
Your power places on the Earth · concrete, shareable lines like "Your Venus MC line runs through Cairo" — the major world cities your most distinctive lines pass through.
Going deeper · an honest pointer to the full reading, for what the field beneath the lines is actually asking of you.

What "power place" means here A power place is simply a spot where one of your planetary lines runs close — where that planet's tone is amplified in the local field. It is a map of place, a correspondence — never a prediction about what will happen to you there.

4Soul group — many charts, one globe

At the top of the panel, switch from ✦ Single chart to ✦✦✦ Soul group. Now you can add two or more people — a couple, a family, a circle, a team — and draw all their charts on the one globe together.

Soul group mode: two people's charts drawn in gold and teal on one globe, with the convergence reading listing cities where both people's strong lines stack together. — Soul group mode — two charts in two colors, with the convergence reading below.

Each person, their own color · gold, teal, coral, violet, sky, rose — up to six people, each chart drawn in a single distinct hue so you can tell whose lines are whose at a glance.
A pin each · every person's birthplace is marked with a dot in their own color.
Add or remove freely · the + Add a person button adds a card; the × removes one. Press Draw the soul group to compute them all.

5Where your power places converge

This is the heart of soul-group mode. Below the globe, "✦✦✦ Where your power places converge" scans the Earth and finds the places where two or more of you each carry a strong line through the same spot — the ground where your fields agree.

Ranked by tightness · the places where your lines land closest together come first.
Who converges, and how · each place shows colored tags — one per person — naming the exact planet and angle each of you brings to that spot. (e.g. at Buenos Aires: one person's Venus-Descendant meets another's Pluto-Descendant.)
The shared question · this is the literal geometry of where your lines cross the same ground — a starting point for "where might we gather, live, or meet?"

An honest limit Convergence is matched against a built-in list of major world cities. Two lines can cross over open ocean or a smaller town and not be named here — the reading will say so. The full readings map every crossing on the whole Earth, and often find quieter meeting-grounds between the big cities.

Everything on the globe is pure geometry — exact astronomy, held as correspondence, never a forecast. What the field beneath the lines is asking of you — your hub, your aim, the soul's curriculum, and how these places serve it — is the full Scalar Flower reading.

A note on honesty: the line meanings here are the traditional astrocartography layer — a long-held language of place. We show you the geometry plainly and tell you what tradition makes of it; we never dress correspondence up as prediction. What you do with a place is always yours.
