She adds that this can be especially seductive when it comes to travel. “People are feeling frustrated with the amount of responsibility they have. There are so many hotels, destinations, flights. People get tired of having to decide things, so they think, I’d quite like to be told: ‘don’t worry, here’s something that has structure that can help give guidance’.”<\/p>\n
A map of meaning<\/p>\n
At first glance, an astrocartography map looks a bit like a spirograph pattern scribbled over a satellite view of the Earth. While the theory behind it is complex, its travel appeal is fairly straightforward: adherents use those lines to help choose places that match what they want from a trip.<\/p>\n
How to find your astrocartography map:<\/p>\n
Visit a free site like astro.com<\/a> or astro-seek.com<\/a> and enter your date, place and precise time of birth. The site will generate your personalised astrocartography chart. From there, you can use a guide or practitioner to interpret what the lines are believed to signify. Helena Woods’ website has free downloadable resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I like to describe astrocartography maps as treasure maps of the world,” says Woods. “When you go to your lines, when you travel there, even by reaching out to people who live in those places, you’re activating a theme, an energy or an event in your life.”<\/p>\n Some planetary lines are thought to suit certain kinds of trips better than others. Woods notes that Jupiter lines are associated with connection and expansiveness, making them attractive for family trips or multi-generational holidays. Mars is linked to courage, action and drive, so destinations near those lines may appeal to travellers seeking adventure. Venus, meanwhile, is associated with pleasure, beauty and femininity, making it a popular choice for romantic escapes and girls’ trips. However tentative the logic, for believers this can make astrocartography feel less like abstract symbolism and more like a travel-planning tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She adds that this can be especially seductive when it comes to travel. “People are feeling frustrated with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-610259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
