Chicago or San Francisco

All I need to know is the “why”. As that’s what I don’t have the expertise for. I am posting my birth chart, Chicago relocation, and San Fran relocation.

My goal is family, abundance in love and a healthy long term partnership. I will be continuing to go to school (college) and strive for a master in therapeutic counseling.

I need reliable public transportation as I do not like to drive.

20+ years on a Lilith Descendant line - my experience

I'll preface with the fact that 20 years is a long time with so many different personal life events and different astrological transits happening over such a long duration, along with personal growth and expansion. I have lived on this line during my teens, 20s and now into my early 30s. I dont want to focus on the major events of my life but more so the overall vibe and feelings I have had on this line. I am fairly new to Astrocartography and have been fascinated by it and studying it for over a year.

Lilith itself is interesting on its own with its mythology, as well as being an asteroid AND a point on the moon(Black Moon Lilith) my focus is on the latter as that seems to be what the websites I use have calculated. Lilith in my Natal chart is in the 7th house in the sign of Pisces. It also shares the vertex and part of fortune as well as Venus in Aries in the upper part due to me using the Placidius chart.

I have lived on and been to various points along the Lilith Descendant line, mostly within under a 100km radius of the line, looking back, the closer I have been to it, the more volatile the experience has been which I will detail later in some examples. The 7th house and descendant from what I understand govern everything from one on one intimate relationships, business, public interactions with others, etc. I will focus on my experiences within these areas as it is whats relevant.

Intimate relationships: Not good. The opportunities and circumstances were always lacking which led to much frustration in my youth. Ive never experienced a relationship, never dated or been in one. Yes, a lot of that goes beyond Astrocartography itself as to the reason why, but its just never happened here(it has however happened in places away from this line) what has happened sporadically over the years were brief drunken hook ups in the moment. I tried to maintain those brief encounters but the spark fades as quickly as it happens. Usually the morning after.

Friendships: Have been okay? I maintain some contact with friends from school but a lot have fallen off too. The friendships I have made outside of school have been with the oddballs, usually older than myself. Outcasts, misfits and people with personal issues/mental instability seem drawn to me and easier to get along with than the well put together people which is a really strange dynamic looking back on.

Buisness/employment?: Very bad. From years of unemployment to getting jobs where I have been ripped off with money and treated like dirt. Normally I have moved away for work but the jobs/work/business I have had in this area have been generally shitty and frustrating. One example, I did a few days cash in hand manual labor work for a guy. He treated me like absolute shit and took over 2 months to pay me $500. Naively I asked this same person to be a referral for another job I was going for as I needed one to get the job in the first place. Of course he put a bad word in for me and I never got the job. A more egregious personal example but it gives you an idea.

Public/The other: It varies but generally the feeling has been one of ostracism and not being understood or just being invisible. Again, so many variables to this one. Where I live now, the furtherest from this line, its not so bad. But a few years ago before I knew what Astrocartography was, I was on a day trip in a city that is virtually on top of this line and I was assaulted and humiliated in public which is a very shitty feeling and has happened more than once over the years in different settings and circumstances. Speaking of the other, as mentioned previously I get along really well with the other. That includes people of some foreign backgrounds and marginalised groups I have noticed.

I really dont know what else to add or cover. I have had a rough time here and am doing everything I can to get out and escape for good. Luckily I am working and things are good on that front which I feel blessed. Speaking of the job, its working with and helping marginalised and vulnerable people, what a coincidence! Another note I will add is I have always a dislike of this geographic area well before Astrocartography and have always wanted to escape it but usually ending up back here. As if some deeper part of me knew it was not the ideal place to be?

I have lived and worked on other planetary lines such as my Sun and Saturn Descendant(both those are conjunct in the sixth house in the sign of capricorn for me) and that was quite the experience which I may make a post about in the future. Never before have I worked full time, making the most money I ever have in my adult life doing back breaking, monotonous work whilst couch surfing. Apart from the eventual burnout, general instability and mental breakdown, it was far more enjoyable and exhilarating than my time on the Lilith Descendant line which feels like a slow death.

Depending on your personal Natal chart, I highly recommend avoiding the Lilith Descendant line as a place to live and going forward with my own life, I will be avoiding other places in the world where it passes through such as the IC or MC for example. If there are any further questions or you have something to add, please feel free to do so and thank you for reading.

Tl:dr Lilith Descendant line is shit. Avoid it.

Remote Activation of Mars/IC?

I've observed just now that many of the people that have shaped my life the way it is right now are from my Mars/IC Line (not an exact location, so parans can shift depending on the place/people I'm referring to). And the encounters with most of those people (if not all) have helped me grow as a person over time. I've met many of these people online and some of those friendships are 3 years old by this point.

But that feels weird, especially since neither Mars nor the IC point can be regarded this way... unless I am able to interpret it as a way of expressing my inner emotional landscape in a direct way. But it still feels wacky. So I'd like to understand: what exactly is Mars/IC about in my chart? I would like to gain a better understanding of this line, especially since many people have had truly traumatizing experiences on this line (and rightfully so). It might be that being a man can ease Mars' already aggressive symbolism, but I don't know, really...

Another note I would have regarding Mars is, since it's in the sign of Libra, I thought it would act in a way worse manner than it usually would? I am... quite confused about the way it's supposed to act in my chart, unless I've completely missed the point of this line.

And another little PS: my Ascendant lies in Leo between 0 and 6 degrees in those circumstances, so there is that as well. Although... Chiron/DS does NOT go through those places (my friends are not from Sweden!!).

Thank you for taking your time reading this!! I am truly looking forward to your answer!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Relocation Astrology vs house systems

Hello all! Just as title says I'm really curious which house system would you prefer to use if it's comes to relocation chart. Placidus? Whole Sign? Koch? Whole Sign (ASC horizontal?) Or maybe it will be better system for it?

-----------------------------

I'm asking because 8 years ago I moved unknowingly 30 km (~ 19 miles) from my Pluto AC line. And despise that I also have good parans there and in my birth chart both Pluto and Ascendant (Scorpio) are well aspected this place is a hell for me. Now, I have opportunity to move.

Really close to my Venus and Mercury MC line, nice parans. Chart overall looks good. But. There is always but.

My Pluto according to Placidus will fall for 12th house, in WS will stay in 1st as I have now.

For me, myself and I I'm using Placidus, but for house matters WS is the one as it really resonanting.

I know that the 12th house for Pluto is the worst(?) and it also can be linked to mental problems. And as a person who long time ago was diagnosed with really heavy depression and now dealing with burnout I don't wanna this. I want a place which will be as much as possible easy for me psychically. I like my 1st house Pluto but I'm scared of 12th house.

Chicago or Greensboro

Hi everyone,

I am new to Reddit, so pls be nice! And if there’s a better place to post this- do tell!

I am wondering if a move back to Chicago would be smart?

For reference, I have minimal family, moved almost every 6 months to a year since 2008, lived in Chicago 2010-2015 and have been in and out of New Orleans for the past 10 years.

In New Orleans, I have convenient transportation and super low housing expenses but I am so over the city and am just ready to move somewhere where I could see myself living for the next decade or so.

I want to create a home, attract a loving partner, and feel long-term stability for once. I am wanting to attract a family thru my partner.

Currently visiting Chicago, and considering a move back. I just want a cleaner city with more opportunities and a much larger dating pool to increase my chances of falling in love. I also am public transport dependent and Chicago is an easy city to navigate sans vehicle. Whereas Greensboro would much more require self transport.

I should also note that I’ve been a massage therapist for the past 6 years and am going back to school next week to begin a bachelors in psychology (of which I am beginning to feel unsure about because debt/job market pay for therapists/length of schooling/etc.) So- wherever I move I would be continuing school.

I’ve consulted 5 astrologers over the past 4 years and they have all told me different things. The 3 notes that really stood out to me are:

  1. New Orleans is my “stab and grab” city where really quick,negative things can happen to me.

Something about my moon changing every two days which brings emotional upheaval.

  1. Greensboro, North Carolina is a hotspot for attracting love and emotional fulfillment.

  1. My energy on the West Coast is more relaxed than on the East where my Virgo qualities are more heavily in control.

I want to make the next best step to improve my life. I feel overwhelmed and am crashing out over not trusting my footing/direction. Anyone interested in volunteering some insight?? Let me know if I need to include anything else photo wise. Thank you!!

Peace and Love.

Desi 💫

Be My Guinea Pig

Hello.

I’ve been practicing astrology for about nine years now. My foundations are Hellenistic but I do use modern methods as well.

I’ve learned a bit about location astrology (ACG, Local Space, Parans), and want to explore this some more. I’d like volunteers to test my interpretations.

I’ll basically describe your experiences on a specific location using the data from my software, so I will need your birth details via DM once I get to you. To clarify, in order to assess my accuracy, I need you to have lived in a completely different location from your birth place.

If I do well then maybe we can explore a relocation option too.

Please upvote this post and send me a DM if you’re up for this experiment. You must be 18 or older to participate.

Comment below if you have any questions.

EDIT: Getting lots of requests which is amazing. You’ll be added to the waiting list, so I appreciate your patience. :)

Ideas for what to buy from Venus Mc line? Can’t travel there

At least for the foreseeable future as I’m in the u.s. and my Venus Mc line is in Perth Australia.
What would be fun or a good idea to buy, to get a little luck as far as improving my physical appearance?

I’m a Libra rising (with Pluto in Scorpio in the 1st house). Pisces sun, Leo moon. My self esteem is down in the dumps due to long term hormone issues that affect my appearance very negatively.
Thanks for all ideas 💡

My saturn ic line experience..

I moved very close to my saturn ic line for a job. It has only been for a month, but it feels really heavy as many described. I would say that saturn ic line it’s only good if you have some inner work to do. Meditation,contemplation, reading and learning too. After that just move away. Day to day life feels heavy and confused. It even feels heavy to walk. I actually went to college very close to my saturn ic line too. But I would say studying could be a much better experience on saturn ic line.

Moving from Chiron/IC line to Uranus/DC line. Will things get better or worse?

Hello all,

I have been living very close to my chiron IC line for all my life and I decided to leave everything behind and move to Amsterdam where my bf relocated. Amsterdam is close to my Uranus/DC line. My main motivation behind the move is to get away from family trauma and have a shot at life where I am not held back by family problems. I understand this move can give me a chance for freedom and new experiences which I would be happy about. But I am scared about it making my relationship with my bf chaotic because I love him. Will this be bad for my relationship? And also as I am quitting my job is there a possibility that I will not be able to find stable employment near uranus line? Is this not a very favorable move?

I have attached the lines crossing from Amsterdam, my birth chart and my relocation chart.

HELP, IS BUENOS AIRES THAT BAD? NY TOO? WHY? SKIP THEM? NEED HELP

​

So astrocarto seems to have it in for both dream cities, CABA being the bigger one. Virgo ASC+PLUTO IC+STELLIUM 6TH HOUSE (mercury, lilith, uranus, neptune)+Saturn 9th. Two links here, mercury to asc, the whole 6th house in aquarius relating to saturn 9th due to signs. saturn 9th, it can either be racism or difficulties with bureaucracy or what else? theres venus 7 sure but its one thing in a sea of doubt. It doesnt have any real effect that far away?

A dream has always been to move to CABA, but I am not sure. Please need any help, should I let it go? Honestly?

Charts are in the following order

Birth Chart (my Stellium on 7, Venus 8)

Buenos Aires (Stellium on 6, PLUTO right on IC)

NY (PLUTO not directly on top of IC, Venus 7)

All whole sign

Do your physical features change depending on where you are?

I’ve kind of noticed this in myself but I might just be being delusional lol. When I’m near my Saturn I tend to look more tired/aged/hard faced. Plus my solar plexus/heart region/spine feel strained and overall a sense of heaviness. But living closer to my benefic lines I feel like my features soften and I look younger, and also my body feels stronger and I have more muscle tone. I lived abroad away from my Saturn for a few months and a lady I knew says I developed a glow whereas when she first met me I looked drained. I thought it probably is more enhanced for me too since my Saturn is in the first house so responsible for physicality. Does it change you like this??? Or am I just crazy lol.

Moving to my Uranus line

I've decided to move to Montreal which lands near my Uranus line because my life has been stagnant for a long time now.

I'm thinking of it as a fresh start, both personally and professionally so I'm excited about what the future holds. Most people want to move to their Jupiter or Venus lines but I rarely see anyone mention Uranus so I'm curious what this could mean for me. Any help or tips are appreciated!
