Have you ever visited a place and felt an instant sense of comfort, even if you had never been there before? Or lived somewhere that made you unusually sensitive, nostalgic, or deeply attached? Some locations affect our emotions more than others. We may feel calm, cared for, and safe in one place, and restless or uneasy in another.
Astrocartography helps explain why this happens. It takes your birth chart and places it over a world map, showing where different parts of your inner life become stronger. One of the most important lines in this system is the Moon line.
The Moon line is closely linked to emotions, habits, family bonds, and the need for security. This page explains what the Moon line represents in astrocartography, how it interacts with different angles, and how people utilize it when selecting places to live, settle down, or spend time during emotional life phases.
