Astrocartography
Every planet was directly overhead somewhere the moment you were born. Where the Stars Fall draws what follows — on a globe you can actually spin, rather than a flattened map that turns circles into squiggles.

How it works
Astrocartography is a symbolic practice built on real astronomy. We do the astronomy properly and stay honest about the rest.
Birth date, birth time and birth town. We resolve the historical timezone for that exact place and date — including the daylight-saving oddities most tools get wrong.
For your birth instant we compute where each of ten bodies stood directly overhead, then derive the four lines that follow from each one.
Your lines appear on a 3D globe. Click anywhere on Earth and we'll tell you which lines run nearby, how far away they are, and what they're held to mean.
The four lines
Two of them are meridians running pole to pole. The other two trace a great circle tilted across the globe — the shape that only really makes sense in three dimensions.
MC
The planet at its highest point. The public axis: reputation, career, and the version of you visible from a distance.
IC
The planet directly below you, on the far side of the world. The private axis: home, roots, and what it takes to feel settled.
AC
The planet on the eastern horizon. The personal axis: how you carry yourself and how strangers first read you.
DC
The planet on the western horizon. The relational axis: who you meet, and what you tend to project onto them.
Why a globe
The places where a planet sat exactly on the horizon form a great circle — the same kind of shape as the equator. Flatten that onto a Mercator projection and it becomes an asymmetric squiggle that appears to fall off one edge of the map and reappear on the other.
On a sphere, it's a circle. You can spin the world and watch it close.

Questions
It matters more here than in most astrology. Earth turns 15° of longitude an hour, so an hour of error slides every line about 1,100 km — roughly the width of France. If you don't know it, enter 12:00 and read the map at the scale of countries rather than cities. More on this →
The astronomy is real and precisely calculable — where Mars stood overhead at your birth is a matter of arithmetic. The meanings attached to those positions are a symbolic tradition, not a scientific finding, and we'd rather say so than dress it up. Read it as a prompt for thinking about place, not a prediction.
We carry about 7,000 towns and cities. If yours is missing, pick the nearest larger one — it will almost always share your timezone, and a few kilometres of birth-place error moves your lines far less than a minute of time error does.
Yes. The globe is fully interactive on touch, though it's a lot more pleasant on a large screen. The map does download a few hundred kilobytes of 3D libraries the first time — the pages you're reading now don't.
For one place of your choosing: every planetary line within about 900 km rather than the free top three, and a written synthesis of how those specific lines interact. It's a one-off payment with no account.
Three details, ten seconds, and a globe you can spin. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
