Astrocartography 101 with Aubrey Houdeshell: Can Your Birth Chart Reveal Where You Belong?

In this episode of Big Crystal Energy, Ashleigh welcomes astrologer, writer, and astrocartographer Aubrey Houdeshell of Graveyard Roses for an introduction to the fascinating world of astrocartography.

As part of May’s theme of travel as a liminal space, this conversation explores how our birth charts can be mapped across the globe, revealing places that may activate different parts of our lives — from love and creativity to career, identity, home, family, and transformation.

Aubrey breaks down astrocartography in a grounded and approachable way, explaining how planetary lines work, why certain places may feel deeply familiar or magnetic, and how travel can become a form of spiritual self-discovery. Ashleigh also shares her own experiences with Iceland and the Philippines, and how those places showed up in her astrocartography map in surprising and meaningful ways.

Together, they discuss:

•  What astrocartography is and how it works 
•  How Jim Lewis helped popularize modern astrocartography 
•  Why certain places may feel like “home” 
•  The meaning of Sun, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Moon, I wC, MC, DC, and AC lines 
•  How astrocartography can support travel, relocation, love, career, and self-understanding 
•  Why couples may use astrocartography when choosing where to live or travel 
•  The concept of remote activation and how to work with a place energetically without physically traveling there 
•  How food, music, media, language, books, and even social media can help you connect with the energy of a place 
•  Why accurate birth information and trustworthy sources matter when pulling up your map 

Aubrey also shares her journey into astrology, her work as a full-time astrologer, and her books, including The Cosmic Symposium, Stellar Sex: Unlock Your Sexual Power with Erotic Astrology, and her upcoming astrocartography book, The Global Horoscope, forthcoming in 2027 from Llewellyn.

Whether you’re planning a trip, dreaming of a faraway place, or wondering why certain locations have always called to you, this episode is a beautiful beginner-friendly doorway into the magic of astrocartography.
