Scrub the date and a second, dated set of lines sweeps the map: transits, progressions, solar arc, returns. A place quiet today can carry a Jupiter line next spring.
Every time overlay
Solar-eclipse paths and magnitude contours drawn across the map, with each eclipse’s contacts to your natal chart worked out for you.
How eclipses are drawn
Move your pointer and the chart recasts under it: new angles, new houses, the wheel turning as you go. Double-click to pin a place, or search a city and fly there.
Everything the map does
Local Space draws one direction line per planet from any pin you drop. The question is which way, not how far.
Every kind of line
Drag the world under your fixed natal lines and watch the sky turn, hour by hour. Parans stop being an abstraction once you see one planet reach the Midheaven exactly as another rises.
Parans, Slide and Sky Times
Lay a second person’s chart over yours, and “where should I move?” becomes “where should we move?”
Charts, synastry and composites
Star lines for Regulus, Spica, Algol and company, about forty more minor bodies, and every rise, culmination and set for the place you are reading.
The full list of bodies
Designed for astrocartographers.
Pro is the toolkit for people who read places for clients: ask the map questions, scan a city, date a line, and hand over a report.
Discovery lets you ask the map a question instead of reading it line by line. It ranks the world’s cities by life theme: love, career, prosperity, home, learning, creativity, vitality, adventure, spirit or focus.
Discovery and Radar in full
Sweep a circle over any place and the map dims to reveal every line running near it, nearest first.
A line on the map tells you a place matters. Activations tells you the dates.
Galaxy is the 3D sky around the Earth: the constellations, the Milky Way, and the planets on their orbits above the lines they draw.
Everything in Pro
Notes on each line in the same circle. Written by hand, not generated.
Tag the spots that matter and tie each to a chart.
Compose in AstroLina, finish in your own editor.
Parans tell you where. The Paran Clock tells you when.
Pro is unlocked from the account screen inside the app. Prices are in US dollars, before tax. Checkout is handled by Stripe, and you can cancel at any time.
The engine, the frames and the conventions are written up in full: under the hood.
My mom, Lina, has spent years deep inside astrology—blending psychological, evolutionary, and traditional principles into something she’d be the first to say she’s still figuring out. “Who makes this shit stuff up?” she’d laugh, mid-analysis, because every day brought something new. I grew up around that language, and eventually it pulled me in too.
When I watched her bump up against the limits of existing astrocartography tools, I built her one. She brought the astrology, I brought the engineering, and somewhere in between, AstroLina took shape. We launched it on the birthday of Jim Lewis, the astrologer who popularized modern astrocartography—it felt right to honor the field he defined.
What started as a gift for her now belongs to everyone.

Astrocartography lays your birth chart over a map of the world. Each planet draws lines through the places where it sat on one of the chart’s main angles — rising, setting, culminating at its highest point that day, or anti-culminating at its lowest — at the moment you were born, and astrologers read those lines as the places where that planet’s themes come forward. If you’d like the full story, we wrote a beginner’s guide to astrocartography.
Three things: your birth date, your birth time, and your birthplace. The time matters most — the angles that draw your lines shift about one degree every four minutes, so even a rounded-off time can nudge a line by a lot. If you’re not sure of yours, check your full birth records — and if the time can’t be found, an astrologer can help with chart rectification.
Start with the lines that pass near places you’ve lived, loved, or keep dreaming about. Each line is labelled with its planet and angle — Venus rising, Saturn culminating — and that pairing colours life in that region: strongest near the line, fading with distance. The guide walks through what every planet and angle means.
Yes. The core is free, open-source software (AGPL-3.0), and you can draw your map without creating an account. A free account adds more tools and syncs your saved charts across your devices. To see which tools are free and which are Pro, the features page marks every one of them.
Pro is the toolkit for people who read places professionally: Discovery, Radar, the Report composer, a locational Journal, the 3D Galaxy view, the Local Space dials, the Paran Clock, and more. It’s a paid upgrade — a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, whichever suits — unlocked from your account screen in the app. The features page walks through every one of them in detail.
Yes. Without an account, your charts are kept only in your browser and never reach us. Two things do go online, as with any map: the map tiles, and a place search when the built-in city atlas doesn’t know the name. With an account, your charts sync across your devices by default. To keep them on one device instead, switch off Sync my charts & data to my account on your account screen, and nothing you save there leaves that browser. We don’t sell personal information or run ads or trackers, and you can delete any chart, or your whole account, whenever you like. The full story is in our privacy policy.
No — curiosity is enough. The map is interactive, every line is labelled, and our beginner’s guide covers the basics in plain language. If you do read charts professionally, Pro is built for you.
