Since 1976, when the now-standard ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY technique

was introduced, wide acceptance by both the astrological

community and the public has validated it. In addition,

ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY has been able to benefit from the actual

experiences of the thousands who have ordered its maps. The

product of this experience is this new service.

WHY DO PEOPLE MOVE?

To understand how this information will be useful, perhaps we

should question why people move around so much in the first

place. In addition to the obvious reasons are psychological

ones. Psychologists (Carl Jung especially) have suggested that

people instinctively seek wholeness, or a completeness of their

experience. If it's true that different locations accent

different parts of your potentials, moving offers a way to speed

evolution, to get acquainted with new parts of yourself. So if

you find that a location you are obliged to reside at is one in

which some of the more problematical influences predominate

(such as Saturn, Neptune, etc.), you should look beneath the

superficial and immediate desires and concerns of your life and

try to understand what emerging consciousness has brought you

here. Every location is good for something, and you would not be

considering living in a difficult one for no reason. Also, don't

get frightened if some of the interpretations sound extreme or

perilous. Every planet has numerous possible manifestations,

and, while we've tried to include them all here, rarely do the

more extreme ones occur. The point is to enable

you to anticipate the nature of influences at your potential

residence and so become able to recognize and utilize their most

positive manifestations.

Different people are apt to react differently to the same

astrological influence. You will feel more comfortable with what

you already know, so certain planets will be easier for you to

live under than others. For example, if you are a woman with

traditional values, Mars and the Sun will possibly pose more

problems for you than for a man, since the qualities and life

experiences associated with these planets are not usually

socially encouraged in women's upbringing. Similarly, men will

find the Moon and Venus more challenging. People who tend to

follow external authorities and believe in society's order as

unchallengeable may find themselves more at home under Jupiter

and Saturn lines, and stressed by new experiences under Uranus,

Neptune, and Pluto, while individualists and the more

self-reliant will reverse these reactions.

You might find it useful to realize that, when faced with

challenging astrological potentials, it is sometimes easy to

"project" these onto your mate or partner, seeing the emerging

parts of your own psyche as things THEY are doing. If your

interpretations seem to fit your mate, realize that these things

are happening because of possibilities in yourself that you

aren't ready to face, and try to develop the positive sides of

the astrological potentials described.

EVERY PLACE IS GOOD FOR SOMETHING

But the most important thing to realize is that every location

is good for something; if you recognize and understand its

potentials, you can use them constructively. You'll find that in

some instances you don't even have to travel or live in the

location -- that its influence affects you through people who

come from there, or remote concerns, such as business, cultural

or other life interests that symbolize those psychological

potentials described by this report.

So lets find out the ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY* of the

locations you're interested in. We hope it opens up for you

opportunities to find what you're looking for in life; but we

also hope it enables you to look beneath the surface, to see

patterns in your own development and your instinctive growth

toward.

To understand the following influence, you should be

aware that it is strong in this locality, though not

overbearingly so. While reading the psychological

description of its manifestation below, you should

recognize the major theme that has operated for you (or

will operate) here, though it may not be your prime

concern at all times. You can ignore it for long

periods, and this moderation of the influence tends to

mitigate some of the more frightening and dangerous

excesses that can occur. Probably, the more unusual

manifestations won't happen to you, as this influence

merges with others in your personality, creating a more

balanced manifestation.
