Holiday
Where should I go on holiday?
Five destinations, ranked. Tell us who you are travelling with and what you want out of the trip; your birth chart is placed on a real map and every candidate is measured against your planetary lines. A line counts when it runs within 900 km, and each match shows which lines and how far.
What a planetary line actually is
At the moment you were born, each planet was directly overhead somewhere on earth, directly underfoot somewhere else, and rising or setting along two long curves. Draw those on a map and you have your astrocartography lines. They are computed from the ephemeris — the geometry is real, and what a line is read as meaning is tradition.
- Venus line
- The classic holiday line — pleasure, beauty, ease.
- Jupiter line
- Expansion and luck. The trip you come back bigger from.
- Sun line
- Where the tradition says you are most visible and most yourself.
- Moon line
- Somewhere that feels like being looked after.
- Mars line
- Physical and high-energy. Good for a trip you want to feel.
- Mercury line
- Where you learn something and talk to strangers.
- Neptune line
- Dreamlike and disorienting, at its best by water.
- Saturn line
- Serious and solitary — better for a reset than a party.
The 900 km influence radius is an AsterNym convention, not an established boundary. Practitioners use anywhere from 300 to 1,000 km and none of them can tell you why theirs is the right number. Ours is disclosed so you can discount it.
