Get started with AstroCarto

What can AstroCarto help me do?

AstroCarto is an online astrocartography tool for exploring maps, researching places, and interpreting location-related results. It uses birth information to help you investigate questions about places for living, travel, work, or relationships. A map, a city comparison, and a timing result answer different questions; choosing the right workflow makes their outputs more useful.

Use the results to identify evidence, trade-offs, and questions to investigate. They do not establish job availability, housing affordability, or a guaranteed outcome after moving. If you want to understand how the outputs are produced, read how AstroCarto calculates astrocartography.

What should I do on my first visit?

Have the intended person's birth date, local birth time, and birthplace ready. The birthplace remains the birthplace even when you want to research another city. Follow Create your first map to complete the form, check a real generated example, and identify the result's date and place.

Do not turn an unknown time into an apparently exact one. Select the unknown-time option and read which workflows remain suitable. The estimated map uses a noon placeholder; account access does not supply the missing birth time. Complete shared-place research, timing, and new Personal Reports have their own accuracy requirements.

Your first-session target is small: a map using the intended inputs, an understanding of what you are looking at, and one clear next question. For example, a person born in London who wants to investigate Paris should keep London as the birthplace, then use Paris in a destination workflow.

Which workflow fits the question I have now?

Choose by your starting point, not by which button sounds most comprehensive.

If you already have Paris and Lisbon as realistic options, compare those cities before opening timing. If Paris remains worth investigating, carry the same person's details and the intended goal into its timing research. Changing tools does not make unresolved work or housing conditions disappear.

The map entry is shared, but sign-in, full-result access, report generation, and AI usage are different conditions. Read the message for the action you choose instead of assuming that one unlocked feature covers every other action.

What should I check before leaving a result?

Use the interactive map guide to show lines and inspect a selected point. First verify the result belongs to the intended person, places, and goal. Record the main finding together with its caution and one practical next check. “Compare Paris and Lisbon for career, then check the strongest support and main caution in each” is a useful task note; “the map says move to Paris” skips the city comparison and its evidence.

Decide what you need to retain. Birth details, a city saved to My Places, a completed report, a conversation, and a downloaded file are different objects. A map that is currently visible is not proof that all its results are archived. Use saved data and results to find the corresponding destination and check a completed report before closing it. A map image is a static file; it does not retain interactive controls or your planning notes.

Am I managing a person, a result, or an account?

For a person's reusable birth input, use Stored Astro Data. Save the record explicitly, then select it when a calculator supports reuse. Correcting the stored time does not rewrite existing maps, reports, or PDFs; regenerate the result you need from the corrected input.

For an existing report or conversation, use the relevant result list described above, under the account that created it. An account login, a stored-person record, and a report are not interchangeable. If access still fails, retain the visible message and use Contact support in this Help center; do not repeatedly buy or generate another report just to locate an existing one.

What if my question is about another kind of chart?

You can go directly to the chart that matches your question. These tools are not mandatory steps in creating an astrocartography map.

Start with your map and one location question.
