Astrocartography

Astrocartography is a pseudoscientific practice that involves mapping the positions of celestial bodies, such as stars and planets, onto a geographical map of the Earth. This practice is often used in astrology to determine how these celestial influences affect different locations and, consequently, the lives of individuals who reside in or travel to those areas. The term "astrocartography" is derived from the Greek words "astron" (ἄστρον), meaning "star," and "chartes" (χάρτης), meaning "map." In Hebrew, it can be translated as אסטרוקרטוגרפיה (Astrokartografia). Other relevant translations include Astrokartographie in German and Astrocartografía in Spanish. Astrocartography is used to create personalized maps, often referred to as "astrocartographic charts" or "astromaps," which highlight areas of the world that may be particularly beneficial or challenging for an individual based on their birth chart. These maps are typically used for purposes such as relocation, travel, or understanding one's life path. While astrocartography is not recognized as a scientific discipline, it remains a popular tool within the realm of astrology and New Age spirituality.
