Below is an astrolocality map using whole sign houses and aspects. It was done with a popular astromapping program and edited with Photoshop. It removes the clutter of lines commonly displayed in astrocartography maps and gives a birds-eye view of how one's houses(or signs) and planets are spread across the globe. Whole sign astrology(whole houses and whole aspects) is the new trend in astrology but was actually practiced long ago in ancient Greece and Rome when horoscopy was in its infancy.  In the map above the signs or colored areas become the houses and the planets have no degrees. Degrees did not figure prominently in astrology untill modern times. Aspects were by sign and did not have orbs. The Ascendant house/sign(marked by the letter A) designates the general birth area. Planets in the Ascending sign have the greatest influence on the native and his home region. To the left or right are the other colored bands(signs/houses) with their planets showing where on the Earth the rest of the chart plays out. Moving into these different areas will bring into focus or prominence that particular part of the individual's chart. M stands for the Midheaven which is here treated as a planet. If one wishes to be specific, the degree lines for the planets including the Ascendant and Midheaven, can then be inserted within the general framework as displayed below. Only whole sign exact aspects are used. Astrology, however, was not meant to be specific. It offers enough latitude or room for other factors to come into play, such as the astrology of nations or cities(mundane astrology), or the astrology of the Earth itself(geodetic astrology). They are all valid and overlapping influences which can be more easily perceived or understood when using whole sign astrology.  showing where your world Ascendants and Midheavens begin or end  Ideally, whole sign Ascendant globes could be created which would allow the rotation of the terrestial sphere inside the zodiacal one and which can quicky be aligned to one's latitude and longitude of birth. Such an apparatus would save an enormous amount of tedious calculation and give a complete and accurate three-dimensional view of one's locality chart at birth. back to main |
