Finding Your Place in the Stars: My Journey with Astrocartography
What if the stars could tell you not just who you are… but where you belong?
I discovered astrocartography a few years ago, during a time when I was traveling full-time in my RV. I was searching for the perfect place to finally put down roots. Taos, New Mexico, kept calling to me. I scrolled through listings online, but something deeper was pulling me—something cosmic. That’s when I discovered astrocartography, and I became obsessed.
I booked a reading with Helena Woods, and it confirmed what I already felt deep in my bones: Taos was the right place for me to settle and grow my business. That reading was so transformative that I eventually became a certified astrocartographer myself.
What is Astrocartography?
Astrocartography is the study of how planetary energies interact with different places on Earth. Your birth chart doesn’t just describe your inner world — it stretches across the globe, mapping out where you’ll feel certain energies. Some cities will amplify your joy, creativity, and confidence. Others will challenge you, shake you awake, or teach you lessons you never expected.
It’s like a cosmic travel guide, showing you the places that can bring out your best (and sometimes your toughest) qualities.
My Personal Experiences on the Lines
🌲 Jupiter Ascendant – Glacier National Park
When I saw my astrocartography map, one of the first “aha!” moments was realizing I had a Jupiter Ascendant line running near Glacier National Park. It had always been one of my favorite places, and suddenly it all made sense.
One morning on my way to what would become one of my all-time favorite hikes, I spotted several bears and even a moose. The whole place felt enchanted, expansive, and full of wild magic. That’s Jupiter energy in action — abundance, luck, and awe around every corner.
🌙 Moon Descendant – Growing Up Near Atlanta
I grew up near my Moon Descendant line, and it shaped so much of my early life. I craved close, intimate bonds and often poured more into relationships than I received back. I was deeply focused on others’ needs, sometimes at the expense of my own.
Over time, that experience taught me independence and the importance of prioritizing myself. Living under the Moon’s pull was challenging, but it also gave me emotional wisdom I still carry today.
🔥 Mars Rising – Adventure in Thailand
One of my favorite adventures unfolded on my Mars Rising line in Thailand. The energy there was nonstop — busy, exhilarating, and full of life. We rode motorbikes, hopped between islands, visited an elephant sanctuary—each day a whirlwind of action. I even found the courage to conquer my lifelong fear or swimming with fish.
Mars pushes you forward, ignites your fire, and this line did exactly that. Every moment felt charged, alive, unstoppable.
🌸 Venus Descendant – Beauty in Maine
Then there’s my Venus Descendant line, which runs through Maine. I visited during peak fall color, and the beauty was almost unreal. The leaves were ablaze, the sunrise was breathtaking, the weather was perfect, and even a simple walk through town felt indulgent and sweet.
It was Venus at her finest: pleasure, beauty, and joy woven into every moment.
Why Astrocartography Matters
Astrocartography has given me peace of mind about where I am and where I choose to travel. It’s always spot-on, helping me decide whether or not to visit a certain place, and confirming that I’m where I need to be for my goals right now.
What I love most is that it reminds us no place is perfect. Every location comes with its gifts and its challenges — and knowing this gives us the power to choose consciously.
