Moving

Looking to relocate and not sure where? Compare cities, regions and whole continents against your own chart, and bring a partner or the whole family onto the same map.

The tool is GORGEOUS. And I love it that I can easily create more than one profile and toggle between them.

Travelling

Find your best places to visit, plan a trip around a line, and read the sky over wherever you land. Your map comes with you.

This app is awesome and has so many different features that it’s hard to name my favorite. The design is beautiful, colorful, easy to read and navigate. Even being new to astrocartography I’ve learned so much.

Where you have been

Is this where you are supposed to be? Look up every place you have lived and see what your lines were doing there.

This explains so much — the restlessness has been so disruptive all my life. I moved house nearly 40 times and lived in 4 countries, and always thought there was something wrong with me.

The map, the chart, and what every place means for you.

ELA Map: astrocartography lines for every planet drawn across a dark world map
The map

Astrocartography and Human Design map, one globe.

Every planet’s lines and your Human Design, drawn across the Earth. Spin the globe, tap any line or city, and read what it means for you. Crossings, aspect and declination lines, gates and channels are all there when you want them.

The Today page: a personal greeting and today's written reading for the user's location
Today

Your sky, where you stand. Every day.

A location-based daily reading, not a sign-based horoscope. Today reads the real sky over your location against your chart: the conditions in effect over your place right now, the transits touching you, and the planetary lines moving through your city this week. Different in every city, different every day, and it comes with the free map.

Discover: a ranked deck of places with a photo, a theme score and a written reading for each
Discover

Search a city, or rank the whole world.

Type a city and get every line in range, the local weather, climate and terrain, and a written synthesis. Or open Discover and let ELA narrow the Earth to your best places for the life area you choose.

Eight life themes, from career to love to home, shaded across the entire planet from your relocated charts: a relocation analysis for everywhere at once. Blend up to five people into one group heatmap.

Chart Lab

One chart explorer, beside the map.

Wheel, bodygraph and mandala. Aspect grid and patterns, transit, synastry and composite rings, and an authored reading for anything you tap. Astrology and Human Design side by side, moving with the map, so a complete reading is one place, not a stack of tabs.

Timing

Not just where. When.

Find a moment: ask when a planet rises, sets or culminates over a place, or when the moving sky reaches your own relocated angles. Step the transits forward by the hour, day or month, and follow a saved place’s conditions day by day.

Cyclocartography

Your lines never move. The sky does.

Your birth lines are fixed for life. But the planets keep moving, and every day they draw a second, temporary set of transit lines across the Earth: where the sky right now is crossing your chart. That is cyclocartography, the timing side of locational astrology. It is why the same city can feel different in March and in October, and it is what Today reads for you each morning, for the place you are actually standing.

Cyclocartography
Cyclocartography (CCG), a term coined by Jim Lewis, the creator of astrocartography, in 1982: a map of where the planets, as they move today, are crossing the angles of your birth chart anywhere on Earth. Where astrocartography shows your permanent lines, cyclocartography shows the transit lines, which shift day by day and give each place its current conditions. It answers when, where astrocartography answers where.
  • ConditionsWhat the sky is doing over your place right now, read against your chart.
  • Transit linesWhich moving planets are touching your lines today, and how closely.
  • TimingThe lines heading toward your city this week, so you can time a trip, a move or a decision before the shift arrives.

  • The amount of detail about the gates is awesome. So beautifully written and explained!
    Jana

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know my exact birth time?

It matters: about 15 minutes of error can shift your angle lines roughly 200 miles. If your time is approximate, enter your best guess and ELA helps you narrow it down. Broad patterns (which regions, which themes) hold up even when city-level precision does not.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. ELA Map runs in any browser and everything syncs between your phone and your computer. iOS and Android apps are on the way. The desktop gives the fullest map exploration, and Presentation Mode for practitioners lives there.

Is ELA Map free?

Yes. ELA Map is a free astrocartography calculator and map, no card required. A free account gets the full interactive globe: all ten planetary lines on all four angles, crossing lines, your Human Design overlay, and a daily reading for where you stand. Not a teaser with three lines unlocked, and no confusing paywalls.

What is astrocartography?

Astrocartography maps your natal chart onto the Earth. Each planet draws lines across the globe where it was rising, setting, or culminating at the moment of your birth. Being close to those lines tends to colour your experience of that place. ELA Map draws those lines on an interactive globe from your birth data.

How does astrocartography work?

At the moment you were born, every planet was rising somewhere on Earth, setting somewhere else, and directly overhead along one line of longitude. Recompute your chart for every point on the globe and those positions join up into lines: your Sun line, your Venus line, and so on. ELA Map does that computation for all ten planets and draws the result on the map, then adds a written reading for any line or city you tap.

Is astrocartography the same as relocation astrology?

They are cousins, both branches of locational astrology. Relocation astrology recasts your whole birth chart for one chosen city. Astrocartography draws every city at once, as lines. Cyclocartography adds time: transit lines showing where the planets moving today are crossing your chart across the Earth, which is how you time a trip or a move. ELA Map does all three, and Today reads the moving part for the place you are standing.

How accurate is astrocartography?

There are two kinds of accuracy here. The lines themselves are astronomy, not opinion: ELA Map computes them from JPL DE440, the same ephemeris data NASA uses, with positions accurate to a fraction of an arcsecond. If a line is drawn through Lisbon, that is where it is. What a line means is interpretation: astrocartography is a lens for noticing patterns between your chart and places, not a machine that predicts events. One practical note: line positions depend on your birth time, and an error of about 15 minutes can shift angle lines roughly 200 miles. The better your birth time, the sharper your map.

Are the interpretations written by AI?

The astrology and Human Design text is written by people and kept in a curated library. When you open a reading, software selects the entries that apply to your chart and place, and a light edit pass smooths them into one read, checked against the library before you see it. Nothing is invented by a chatbot.

What makes ELA Map different from other astrocartography tools?

Most astrocartography tools draw your lines and stop. ELA Map is one workspace instead of six tabs: astrocartography, relocation heatmaps and Human Design on the same globe, for up to five charts at once, plus a daily reading for the place you are actually standing, not a sign-based horoscope. And the astronomy is real: every line is computed from the same ephemeris data NASA uses, which is why calculators that approximate disagree with each other and ELA does not.

What does ELA stand for?

Energy Location Atlas. An atlas was never just a picture of the world; it was the bound collection of everything a navigator needed. ELA Map is that for the relationship between you and place: astrocartography, Human Design, relocation heatmaps, daily readings and reports, organised around the map instead of the chart.
