Question 1

What is astrocartography?

Accepted Answer

Astrocartography (also called locational astrology or astro mapping) maps your birth chart onto the world to show where different planetary energies are strongest. Each planet creates four lines (MC, IC, ASC, DSC) that indicate locations where that planet's influence is most prominent in your life.

Question 2

How accurate is your astrocartography calculator?

Accepted Answer

Our astrocartography calculator uses Swiss Ephemeris, the gold-standard astronomical engine trusted by professional astrologers worldwide. We calculate planetary positions with NASA-grade accuracy, ensuring your astrocartography map is precise.

Question 3

What do MC, IC, ASC, and DSC lines mean?

Accepted Answer

MC (Midheaven) lines affect career and public reputation. IC (Imum Coeli) lines influence home, family, and roots. ASC (Ascendant) lines impact your identity and how others perceive you. DSC (Descendant) lines affect relationships and partnerships.

Question 4

Do I need my exact birth time for astrocartography?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily! If you don't know your birth time, simply tick 'Unknown birth time' and we'll generate your map using a noon calculation. That said, knowing your exact birth time gives you more precise planetary line positions.

Question 5

Is my birth data kept private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your birth information is stored securely and never shared with third parties. You control your data and can delete it anytime from your account settings.
