How do I read a relocation chart?

Start with ASC and MC sign changes, then review which planets change houses. Planets close to angles (ASC/MC/DSC/IC) tend to become louder in lived experience. Use the relocation summary to prioritize the strongest shifts.

Does relocation astrology change my birth chart?

No. Your natal chart stays the same. A relocation chart shows how the same birth moment expresses through a different horizon and meridian in a new place, which can shift houses and angles.

What is a relocation chart?

A relocation chart recalculates your natal chart for a different city while keeping your birth date and time constant. Because latitude and longitude change, your Ascendant, Midheaven, and house cusps shift—highlighting how life themes may express differently in a new location.

How to read a relocation chart

Quick guide to interpreting angle shifts, house changes, and relocation emphasis.

1) Start with the angles

Changes in ASC and MC signs often reflect the biggest difference in personal expression and public direction in that location.

2) Track planetary house shifts

When a planet moves to a new house, the life area it describes becomes more active in that city (career, home, relationships, money, creativity, etc.).

3) Look for angular emphasis

Planets close to ASC/MC/DSC/IC tend to become louder. The summary highlights close angular contacts so you can prioritize what matters.

4) Why Placidus?

This tool uses Placidus houses (widely used in modern Western relocation work). At extreme latitudes, some house systems can be unstable—your results remain deterministic and auditable.
