Compare places with the chart in view

Understand the line being examined

Angular lines indicate places associated with a planet's rising, setting, culmination or anti-culmination. Identify the planetary point and angular relationship before interpreting a line.

Local-space directions and parans are related mapping techniques with different foundations. Keep the chosen technique clear when comparing examples.

Bring relocation into the analysis

A relocated chart retains the event's moment while calculating the local chart context for a different place. Houses and angles depend on location; relocation does not create a new birth moment.

Examine the relocated chart beside the map so the geographic line and local chart can be read together.

Compare two candidate locations

Begin with recorded chart data and settings. Inspect the relevant lines around each place, then examine both relocated charts. Record the locations and explain which factors are being compared.

A useful example shows the choices and reasoning of the practitioner. A map line on its own is not a guarantee of a particular life outcome or an instruction to move.

Check the tools your method requires

Review the current map-line choices, point sets and relocated-chart workflow for your practice. If you need a particular overlay, provider, offline workflow or export, confirm it individually.
