Astrocartography is an insightful new tool, pioneered by the late Jim Lewis in the 1970s which was based on ancient forms of locational astrology.
The astrology community is up in arms at an unseemly attempt to trademark Astrocartography for sole commercial use by one French and one American astrologer. What has always been regarded as a generic term for locational astrology should not become the property of individuals.
Jim Lewis, 5 June 1941 9.30 am New York, had an 11th house Sun and Venus in Gemini; with a full career 10th house of serious, disciplined Saturn in Taurus, a pioneering Uranus in Taurus and a lucky Jupiter in Gemini.
His Sun was square Mars in Pisces in his 8th giving him depth of understanding as well as an impatient streak. His Jupiter was in a confident sextile to Pluto also in a hidden house, his 12th. Uranus and Saturn were both in an inventive, helpful trine to Neptune.
He died of a brain tumour in San Francisco in 1995. Prior to that he was struck in the mid 80s by a vehicle while crossing a road in Sydney, Australia, which is on his Mars Ascending line.
The French astrologer applied successful for a trademark on 14 November 2025 though it is at present under review by the EU.
That gives a creative (not always realistic) Water Grand Trine of a determined Scorpio Sun trine Saturn Neptune Scheat trine Jupiter, formed into two Kites by Sun opposition a defiant Uranus and a pushily-confident Jupiter opposition Pluto.
One can but hope that Scheat does his worst to sink the project.
Using the Aries Ingress and Astrocartography lines for ASC, Desc, MC and IC
weather patterns can be described for different regions of the world map.
For example if the Saturn_IC lines runs through London, expect cold temperatures.
