6: The Geodetic Map of the World

It can give accurate readings of world events such as eclipses and peak moments of social and political change. But it can also be used for considering where to travel or move. Chris McRea revealed the extent of this technique in her book Geodesic Astrology For Relocating and World Affairs (2016). It is centered on placing the zodiac wheel across the geographical divides. The starting point is the Greenwich Meridian which is taken the 0° of Aries  and then the zodiac wheel is mapped across the world returning to that zero point. Some argue whether this point should begin at the Gaza pyramids since that was used for some time until the consensus became Greenwich.

The Geodesic map can also be combined with the natal chart but a great tool created by Ralph McIntyre can show exactly where in the world the current transits are having an impact.  Jupiter is in Cancer for example so geodesically that is across western parts of Asia, Thailand and Vietnam whereas Leo rules the Eastern parts from Taiwan to Japan and Jupiter will move there on June 30th, 2026.
