An astrocartography chart is your birth chart mapped out with all the orbits of the surrounding celestial bodies over the face of the earth, at the time and place you were born.
You can work this out by providing the time of your birth, exact location and the month plus year you were born in.
Below, we’ll take a deeper look at how you can get started interpreting these charts in your own life.
A freeze-frame picture of the moment you were born

Saturn
The Saturn line depicts the structure of your life in relation to the big events and milestones you experience.
Along with structure, Saturn promotes a lot of self-reflection on how we deal with hard work, commitments, and the limitations you have set for yourself.
Uranus
If you are looking for insights into your involvement in innovation or technology, learn how to read your Uranus line.
There is a large drive for change and fluidity from Uranus which is a nice change of pace from the structured Saturn.

Chiron
A Chiron is a place that will inevitably bring you healing and nourishment for your soul.
You may have some core wounds that need to be healed, and a Chiron can bring you relief from this situation.
North and South Nodes
Both North and South nodes relate to where the moon is within its orbit of the earth.
A North Node allows your soul to grow whilst feeling destined to be in that place.
Fate and destiny are what this node deals with the most, which leads to you being able to do a lot of soul-searching.
A South Node allows you to feel free to release any part of yourself that no longer serves you positively.
Examples of this could be bad stored-up energy or past versions of yourself that are no longer needed.
Karma plays into this idea of past selves, and perhaps you have some negative karmic energy built up that you need to get rid of to grow.
