How Astrologers Think About Relocation

 

Astrologers think about changing residences or changing locations in this process.

I was recently asked to find “a time” for someone to move to another location over a thousand miles away. The person who approached me was a referral and likely did not know much about astrology. I was also inelegant in how I responded, so here I’m clarifying my thoughts.

First, what I told her was that yes, I could find a “time for her to move.” I said that this would be the time for starting her journey from her current location, BUT that this chart would only pertain to the trip itself. So, you could choose a perfect time to begin the journey, but that chart only applies to the trip, not your experience after you arrive. (I also said how much I would charge, and she hasn’t responded.)

So what can I say as an astrologer about relocations?

My first question would be what is your reason to relocate? Depending on the answer I would examine their natal chart, which recall, requires the (exact) time, date and place of birth. I would be looking for which planet or planets are aligned with why the person wants to relocate, because I would be emphasizing them in the next two techniques.

Then I would ask: How open are you to a variety of locations—world-wide, just in Europe, just in the USA, just in your state, just in your city?

If the person just wanted to relocate within their city or a small geographic area, the technique of choice is called a “Local Space Map.” This requires an accurate chart or it will not yield useful information.

Here's Joe Biden's Local Space Map set for the USA:

If the person wants to consider a wider area, then the technique is Astro-Carto-Graphy. This also requires an accurate time of birth yielding a correct birthchart.

That is the first consideration.

Next, I would be interested in two things: selecting a good time to sign the person’s lease, or buying a home, and a good time for signing their new employment contract. Those specifically address the person’s experience in that house, apartment, or job. Usually those two items, the residence and the job are major factors in how this new location will affect the person.

For Joe Biden, this would be the chart of the presidential inauguration:

Biden actually took the oath of office about 12 minutes earlier, but he officially became president at noon.

The last consideration is regarding the best time to begin driving to the new location or to the airport.
