A relocation chart recalculates your birth chart as if you had been born in a different city, showing how a move reshapes the houses and angles of your life. Enter your birth details and a new location and this calculator keeps your planets exactly where they were but rebuilds the ascendant, midheaven and house cusps for the new place, revealing the themes that city brings forward.
What a Relocation Chart Is
Your planets are fixed by the moment of birth and never change, but the houses depend on where you are standing. Move to a new longitude and latitude and the same planets fall into different houses, with a new rising sign and midheaven. The relocation chart shows this shift, which is why the same person can feel very different in different cities.
How It Works
The calculator takes your birth time and the planets it produces, then recomputes the ascendant, midheaven and house cusps for the coordinates of the new city. A planet that sat quietly in the twelfth house at home might rise to the first house elsewhere, bringing its energy to the surface. The aspects between planets stay the same; only their stage changes.
What to Look For
Notice which planets move onto the angles, the ascendant, midheaven, descendant and lowest point, in the new location, since angular planets become much more prominent. A relocation that puts Venus near the ascendant may favour love and ease, while Saturn on an angle may bring responsibility and hard work to the foreground.
Relocation and Astrocartography
Astrocartography shows your planetary lines across a whole map, while a relocation chart gives the full, detailed chart for one chosen city. The two work hand in hand: use the map to spot promising places, then cast a relocation chart for the cities you are seriously considering to see the complete picture.
How to Use the Result
Use a relocation chart to understand how a particular move might shift the emphasis of your life before you commit to it. Because the whole calculation rests on the angles, an accurate birth time is essential, since even a small error changes the houses for every location.
Relocation Chart Questions Answered
What is a relocation chart?
A relocation chart recasts your birth chart for a different city. Your planets stay the same, but the houses, ascendant and midheaven are recalculated for the new location.
Does moving change my planets?
No. Your planets are set by the moment of birth and never change. Relocation only changes the houses and angles, which can shift which areas of life are emphasised.
How is it different from astrocartography?
Astrocartography shows your planetary lines across a whole map, while a relocation chart gives the full detailed chart for one specific city you choose to study.
The chart is computed with the Swiss Ephemeris. Relocation astrology is an interpretive tradition offered for reflection and planning, not as a guarantee about any place.
