Astrolium's astrocartography workspace attaches relocation work to a client, not to a browser tab. Lines, parans, power zones, ranked places, Astrodynes and saved studies sit on one map that remembers what you decided last time.
For a quick anonymous look, the astrocartography map and the relocation chart calculator are free. For the technique, read the astrocartography guide.
What the workspace holds
Relocation questions arrive as conversations, not as single calculations. A client is weighing three cities, or one city against staying put, and the discussion runs across several sessions with new information each time. A map that forgets everything at refresh is the wrong shape for that work.
The map, and what is on it
Lines are drawn for the planets and angles you choose, with presets for the common cases: benefic lines, challenge lines, all planets, MC and IC only, AC and DC only, career focus, love and relationships. Solid lines mark MC and AC, dashed mark IC and DC. Line opacity and influence bands are adjustable, because a map with everything switched on is a decoration rather than a tool.
Other layers sit beside the lines. Parans render as latitude bands. Power zones mark where two lines cross, each with a radius, and city-backed crossings are listed before remote ones so the list stays usable. Eclipse paths can be overlaid. Local Space is kept deliberately apart as a professional slice: directed azimuths from the birthplace, with altitude above or below the horizon, a cardinal call only inside 2 degrees of true cardinal, and a warning for circumpolar points.
Place analysis
Click anywhere, or search a city, and the inspector fills. You get a location score expressed as line concentration, which the panel labels as line concentration rather than a quality-of-life rating. Under it: support ratings by life area with the strongest and weakest named, and the nearby lines with their distance and orb.
That detail carries the reading. A line 340 km away with a 1.8° orb is a different proposition from one running through the middle of town, and the list makes the difference legible instead of leaving it to a colour on a map.
The Where should you live panel goes the other direction. Pick one of thirteen life areas and the module ranks places for that chart, showing the theme map as a gradient that follows relative rank rather than desirability.
Astrodynes, with the method attached
Power and harmony are reported as two measures and kept that way. The panel prints the method line, including the house system, which matters more than it might seem: the same chart scores differently across house systems, so a number without its system is not a number you can quote. Two caveats print themselves where relevant, one for equal-house systems and one for the polar substitution the ephemeris service applies above the polar circle.
House systems throughout Astrolium come from the same set of 23 systems, so the astrocartography numbers reflect the frame you already work in rather than a hidden default.
Comparisons and saved studies
Drop up to five pins and the comparison matrix lays them out by life area, highlighting the best cell in each row, with a CSV export for the client.
Saved studies are the part that makes this a workspace. Save a place or a comparison with a title, a status from considering, career, love, healing, avoid or visited, and a practitioner note. Reopen it 2 weeks later when the client has new information. When the conversation is ready for a document, generate a client report from the study: place overview, support by life area, nearby lines, comparison and your note, assembled from the saved facts and then editable.
What it will not do
A few limits to know before you lean on the map.
Geodetic equivalents are not drawn. The verified calculation contract does not expose them, and the module says so on screen rather than approximating a layer and letting it look authoritative.
Line concentration is not a life rating. It counts how much line activity falls near a place. A city can carry heavy concentration and still be somewhere the client should not move, and the panel labels the number accordingly.
Nothing here decides anything. Ranked places, support levels and Astrodynes are inputs to a conversation between a practitioner and a client who has a job, a family and a visa situation the chart knows nothing about.
