Relocation Reading

Local Space is a powerful relocation technique and it is easy to understand. Just imagine that at the moment of your birth your father picked you up and walked outside. As he looked around the landscape, he could perhaps see the Sun in one compass direction, the Moon in another, and (if it was an evening birth) perhaps Venus, Jupiter, and Mars in the night sky in still other directions.

If we draw a line from where your dad stood toward the direction of each of the planets as they appeared at your birth moment, that line would not only pass through the planet in the sky, but also through any number of cities in that same direction on the earth. Local Space is about charting the heavenly and earthly positions on a single map. The direction of a planet in the sky is also a direction on a geographic map on earth. This is Local Space, the space surrounding you, wherever you are now. You can read more about the history and nature of Local Space at the end of this report, if you are interested, but here is the general idea.

In the local space chart every object in the universe, celestial and mundane has a valid position. Not only the planets and the stars, but on an equal basis cities, countries, and even the local water tower or friends' houses can be represented. All that we have to know is the direction in space, the orientation, not the distance. In local space the heavens and earth, the celestial and mundane (geographic) spheres, exist side by side and are interchangeable. A star is a city is a neighbor. We can walk toward, write letters to, or get up and travel into, for instance, our Venus: and what is perhaps equally important, we do this all the time!

More startling yet, we can travel into our natal planets, since they also represent a direction on the map in the chart of local space. Here, in a hopeless intermingling of the various astrological reference planes and of objects on the earth, a strange, and I must confess, somewhat magical view of our world begins to unfold and emerge: one in which every city and friend becomes a radiating center of influence.

In this local space, the long tradition of witchcraft and magic begins to become understandable; here local deities and preferred directions become the rule, and the world seems a tangle of significance. The psychedelic character in local space charts is unmistakable and appears to be intrinsic to the system. The world appears as kind of a grand talisman or vast ritual ground, and the closest popular image of a similar nature in modern consciousness is the remarkable world of Don Juan as generated by the author Carlos Castaneda.

Here is no "subtle plane", but a personal landscape painted in bold and clear strokes, and tailor made to fit the psyche of each individual. Here is a world where the modern man or woman is learning to move across the face of this earth in an endless dance of adjustment and tuning of their nativity -- of their self - individuals driven in particular directions on a checkerboard world, unable to resist travelling toward a goal that is no particular place on earth so much as it is a direction imprinted within them, the direction of a force or planet, "There! where Power hovers", to use Don Juan's expression. In a word, here is perhaps the most direct of astrological systems, where the obvious is enthroned and the subtle unnecessary.

The Local Space Chart for your birth is included below. We don't expect you to be able to read it. That is what this report does for you, but you might like to have a copy for reference. For the most part, the interpretations are laid out, step by step.

This report will first examine your birth place in detail, and then look at the relocated location, after which there will be a section on what happens when the two local space charts are brought together. Keep in mind that your natal Local Space chart will continue to have meaning for you, even if you relocated. By relocating, you can modify and enhance (or the reverse!) whatever is in your birth chart.

Each section takes you through images and interpretive text for that location. Although I don't want to get too technical here, there are several things astrologers keep in mind when looking at the Local Space chart. You are not expected to know them, but it won't hurt to list them here:

CITY DIRECTIONS

Are there any planets in the direction of a particular city?

PLANETS ON THE HORIZON

Are there any planets near the horizon, that is: having low altitude and therefore high focus?

PLANETS IN CONJUNCTION

Are there Planets in conjunction (close together) in the local space chart?

FOUR CARDINAL DIRECTIONS

Are there any planets near the four cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West?

The sections that follow will detail each of the above categories, plus a fifth category (Space Transits), where the natal planets are brought to the relocated planets and interrelations interpreted.

Limits and Discipline

This place is Saturn's realm (or satan's in the old-school meaning), so do take warning. Things here can work for you or against you. If your life needs form or rules, guidelines, and a more organized or regulated shape, then this could do the trick, even if only for a quick stay. It will ground you. Life will be naturally be more responsible here, but will also exact more from you in return. If you are already running from the law (metaphorically speaking), then don't come here, for your pace will certainly be arrested, and you will be quick to learn the obligations of responsibility. You will be pulled up short. For most people, this would not be a good choice for a vacation spot, but for those who need the business end of the stick, this might be just what you need to pull together.

There are many factors to consider when examining the Local Space chart for a location. When all the analysis is done, usual a few planets are highlighted for a particular place, and one particular planet as what we could call the 'KEY' to that location.

The following image shows how the top three strongest bodies in this Local Space chart might combine to create a single message. That message is shown by an Astro*Image card and the interpretive text.

Controlled Passion or Energy

Basic Idea:

Restraint in passion and/or energy; strict emotional control, perhaps a little hard-hearted. Lack of enthusiasm or affection. Lack of pleasure and satisfaction. Not competitive.

Relations:

Somewhat of a lack of sensuality and even a weakened sex drive. Possible separation. Needy.

Altitude for San Jose, California

One of the most powerful local space factors is when a planet or body has very low altitude and therefore is right on or near the plane of the local horizon. It is similar to having this body rising or setting in the chart and will make the particular body much more powerful in the chart (and life), for better or for worse. An altitude can be above or below your local horizon, by any amount from zero (on the horizon) to plus or minus 90 degrees.

You will want to study with care any planets with low altitude, with an eye to whether the nature of the particular body is something you actually want more of or less of in your life. If the answer is no, then a relocation to such a location may not be auspicious. However, if this is a quality you would like to have more of in your life, then you might want to visit the place and check out how it feels to you.

Home and Support Network

Here the Moon is brought to the plane of the local horizon (very low altitude), which brings into focus all that is feminine, nourishing, and supportive in life, including the environment from which we came, like motherhood, home, family, childhood, surroundings, and the past. If you need nurturing, care, and support, this could happen here, or if you are looking for a nostalgic trip into the past down memory lane.

However, if you are trying to get free of the past, to get off mother nature's nurturing and apron strings, and just grow up, this is probably not the place to go, except just for a visit.

The Moon also represents the world of feelings, emotions, and, the Mind - all meaning, memory, nostalgia, and history. Remember that the Moon is the 'passive' force, in that the helps helps things to pass and be forgotten, to fade into the past.

Directions for San Jose, California

In a Local Space chart, it is significant when a planet or body such as the Sun or Moon lines up with any of the four cardinal directions: North, East, South, and West. When this occurs that body or planet is highlighted or brought into higher focus and this will serve to strengthen (for better or for worse) the nature of that particular planet. Here are the planets in this chart that are on or near the four cardinal compass points.

You, Yourself, and Your Future

The Sun represents not only who you are right now, but also who you can be, given the opportunity to progress. The direction of the sun points to locations where success (career and potential) can be fulfilled, the point where the future unfolds. In these locations, outward development is furthered, and latent ideas and potential have a chance to emerge, develop and grow, and reach their full potential. The Sun has to do with the future, in that it is what, given the right opportunity, you can become or turn into.

The Sun is a place where your inner potential has a good chance to manifest, where, given the right encouragement, you can become all that you can be. This might be a great place if you suffer from too many feelings, too much darkness, and not enough light, for the Sun brings light and heat - burning brightly.

Sun is due South ( 6°28)

Unitiy, Compassion

The Neptune line is all about inspiration, whatever it is that inspires us, and the pure flight of the imagination. Neptune places are ones where we can let go of differences, and where the sense of unity is greater than that which divides us, or as the poem goes: "The dewdrop slips into the shining sea."

A trip to a Neptune place can be filled with inspiration, whether of a spiritual nature or simply taking in some incredible music, theater, film, or poetry. These are places where you can just let your hair down and join in with those around you - a deep sense of belonging an unity.

Neptune is due West ( 6°55)

Conjunctions for San Jose, California

Here we are looking at which of the planets are very close to one another in the Local Space Chart, suggesting that they are combining their qualities interdependently with one another. When two planets are brought together (conjunction) in the Local Space Chart, this not only combines the nature of the two planets, but brings then both into higher focus, for better or for worse. Some planet combinations are more harmonious than others. Here are the combinations that are present in this location along with some idea as to what they might indicate.

Love of Discipline

As a Natal Location: You generally have a flood of ideas relating to the love of truth, duty, loyalty, and dependability, and these fuel the imagination.

Venus Conjunct Saturn ( 1°50)

Drive for Discipline

As a Natal Location: You like to entertain questions of self-discipline, of channeling your drive and ambitions, anything to do with building a workable engine.

Mars Conjunct Saturn ( 3°53)

Love of Ambitions

As a Natal Location: Very romantic, with ideas and desires of passionate love, sensuality, sex. This also could inlcudee the urge to acquire, love of action, sports, and strength.

Venus Conjunct Mars ( 5°43)

Mental Clarity

As a Natal Location: When it comes to matters of the mind, ideas, thoughts, and the like, you have a natural sense of mental clarity, and enjoy planning and envisioning the future, always filling your inner mental skies with new ideas, something you may wish to share with the world. With you, there are always new ideas, new plans.

Sun is due South ( 0°52)

Independence

Uranus and places along that line offer us more independence, opportunities for us to break with convention, and do something a little different. This is the planet of freedom and liberation. Uranus also provides insights into our life, particularly as to what binds or holds us down, and how to get beyond them. Inventions, innovations.

Traveling or vacationing at places along this line can be nothing short of liberating, throwing caution to the winds, and trying new things. These places can also be good for insights and sudden illumination with problems that you have been trying to work through, but have made no progress with to date.

Conjunctions for San Diego, California

Traditionally, astrologers wait for planets to move in time through the zodiac until they come to contact various other planets in the natal chart. Such movement is called a 'Transit' or a 'Progression." However, by relocation in local space, we can bring one planet to conjunct (contact) another place in almost no time, in the time it takes to relocate or drive from the birth place to the relocated place. This amounts to a transit or progression in space rather than time and this is one of the most powerful features of local space astrology.

For example, by relocating to a city, the planet Venus in the relocated chart might be brought to contact the planet Jupiter in your birth chart. Venus would by relocation suddenly be at the same point in local space as Jupiter was when you are born. Jupiter, which often represents the career or life path, would in this location have contact with Venus, the planet of kindness, appreciation, values, etc. and this might bring a warmth and appreciation for the career that was otherwise absent. Here are your Space Transits:

Love of Ambitions

As a Relocated Location: If your sex drive is low, then don't forget about this place, because here you will be pretty much driven to feel love, and if not physical love, at least a greater appreciation for everything and everyone around you. In this location, your sense of values or should we say your sense of 'valuing" or feeling has real force behind it.

Venus Conjunct Mars ( 0°13)

Drive for Discipline

As a Relocated Location: In this location, you will naturally find that you have more drive and ambition for self-discipline, for organizing your world, even to the point of creating your own rules and regulations for taking care of business. This could involve reaching out to authorities, to superiors, and elders, asking for advice and inviting discipline.

Mars Conjunct Saturn ( 1°37)

Love of Discipline

As a Relocated Location: If you need to curb your desires, cut your spending and lavish ways, and then head for this spot. Otherwise, you may feel a damper on whatever you enjoy here, beat down by endless rules and regulations or the sheer sense of responsibility you feel when you visit this place. This could well be just an oppressive atmosphere.

Venus Conjunct Saturn ( 3°38)

Mental Clarity

As a Relocated Location: Relocation here may cause you to be more mindful, with greater mental clarity and alertness. Your interest in words, thinking and speaking, and all things intellectual make take an upswing. This might even extend to your seeking out schooling, attending classes, and education in general. At the same time, your speech will be more eloquent and you may find yourself wanting to write and be an author.

Sun Conjunct Mercury ( 4°40)

Love of Discipline

As a Relocated Location: If you have a discipline problem, as in: you don't have any discipline, then pencil in this spot for your consideration. Or if you hate rules and regulations and all that they entail, then you could feel differently in this location, for here you will crave discipline and all its rules and regulations or at the very least appreciate what it is all about. Appreciating authority, really valuing it is what this place is all about.

Venus Conjunct Saturn ( 7°15)

Love of Career

As a Relocated Location: If you have let your career languish or never had much of a feel for making your way in life in the first place, this place could be a real pick-me-up in that department. Here you may feel a real love for what you are doing or have to do in life, call it your career or perhaps just the way you go through life. Whatever the case, your concern and care for career or for figuring out how to remove obstacles and legal hoops from your life gets turned up a notch in this location.

Venus Conjunct Jupiter ( 8°20)

Drive for Discipline

As a Relocated Location: You may well feel confined, inhibited, and otherwise somehow limited in this location. It could feel oppressive. On the other hand, if you need discipline and don't mind having your energy channeled, this could be just the ticket to help define your goals and direction, making an engine out of what was previously undefined.

This completes the Local Space Relocation Report for your natal location and a city you selected as a possible place to visit and/or for relocation. Both of these places have been examined for directional, horizon focus, key planet activity, and space transits, so that you can easily see what planets and areas of your life are enhanced in these spots or played down.

Local Space is a powerful way to get a sense of what you might experience in different locations, and how you might or might not fit in. In addition, a list of major U.S. cities are included with an indication what might happen in each of them. You can also study the enclosed map, making sure to look at the lines in your Local Space chart for the planets that might interest you that go near them.

Here is a list of major cities in the United State, along with some brief keywords if they figure in your natal chart significantly.
