Astrocartography: the places in the worldwhere your chart lights up.
Meridian assesses around 34,000 places, and any point you choose, from your birth chart. You receive in PDF your places to live and for each theme, with a score from 0 to 100 that explains itself and a result tested against half an hour of error in your birth time.

First of all
Do any of these sound familiar?
You are thinking of moving to another city or country, and the "best places to live" lists know nothing about you.
You have opened a free astrocartography map and stared at forty lines without knowing which one matters.
You live abroad and now and then you wonder: is it here, is it there, or somewhere else?
You know your birth time "more or less", and you are not sure you can trust the result.
The free map gives you the lines. What is missing is the reading.
What it is
What astrocartography is.
Astrocartography projects your birth chart onto the globe. At the moment you were born, each planet was rising, culminating, setting or at the lowest point of the sky, as seen from certain places on Earth. Those places form lines, the planetary lines. Tradition says that living near one of them brings that planet's theme to the fore.
Meridian reads those lines for you. It calculates the lines, the crossings between planets (parans) and the directions from your place of birth (local space). Then it gives each place a score for living and for each theme, and writes why.
It is not an order to move house. It is a starting point for thinking about where to live.

How to read it
How to read the score.
97 means that, for this chart, Valencia ranks above roughly 97% of the places assessed worldwide. It is the main reading, and the one to compare between places.
The number in brackets is the index: the sum of the lines, crossings and directions that count for that place. Positive is favourable, negative is demanding. In the report it is broken down, so you can see where every point comes from.
Each place carries a sign that says how stable its score is when the birth time shifts a little: ●●● Stable (the score moves no more than 10 points, up or down, even with the time 30 minutes out), ●●○ Moderate (holds at 15 minutes, moves more at 30), ●○○ Time-sensitive (moves more than 10 points already at 15 minutes).

Birth time
What if my birth time is wrong?
A four-minute difference in the time shifts every line by about 1° of longitude, close to 110 km at the equator. A round time, "around three o'clock", can be 15 or 30 minutes out.
That is why Meridian recalculates everything with your time 30 and 15 minutes earlier and 15 and 30 minutes later. The main list is the robust one: it combines the five times, with more weight on the one you gave. Each place carries a stability sign (Stable, Moderate or Time-sensitive), and the report shows what happens if the time is out.
The best time is the one on the birth record. In many countries the full (long-form) birth certificate from the civil registry includes it. An old baby or health record, or family memory, can also help.
With no time at all, I will not sell you Meridian. The lines depend on the time, and I cannot give you this honestly. The Soul Map works without it.
The difference
Why a report, and not the free map.
An answer, not a tangle
Free maps draw the lines. Meridian tells you which ones count for you, where, and why.
The whole world, not a short list
Around 34,000 places with more than 15,000 inhabitants are assessed, plus any points you choose: your grandparents' village, an island, the city someone told you about.
A score that explains itself
Every score comes with the index and the lines behind it. It is not a number plucked from the air.
A result that allows for the time
The main ranking combines five times, from half an hour before to half an hour after, and each place says how stable it is. Hardly anyone shows this.
Meridian is a symbolic reading. It does not replace property, tax, immigration or financial advice, and it should not be the only basis for a decision to move.

How it works
Three steps. Nothing more.
01
You write to me on WhatsApp
You send your date, time and place of birth, and the places you would like assessed, if you have any. I give you the final price and the real delivery time before you pay.
02
The engine calculates, I review
The lines, the scores and the birth-time test are calculated for your birth. The report is assembled and reviewed by me before it goes out.
03
You receive the PDF
With the maps, the place profiles and the tables, ready to read on your phone, your computer or printed.
Meridian is a new product. For the first orders, delivery may take longer. I will tell you so honestly before you pay.
30-day money back.
You read the report. If you honestly feel it was not useful to you, or that it does not match what this page describes, I refund the full amount, up to 30 days after delivery. No forms.
The calculation is rigorous: the lines come from astronomical ephemerides, with positions checked to within a few arcseconds against the JPL DE421 ephemeris. What astrocartography is not is a science that predicts how you will feel in a place. It is read as a symbolic map. The biggest source of error is usually the birth time, which is why the result is tested at ±30 minutes.
Will this tell me where I should move?
No. It shows you where your chart favours certain themes and where it asks more, and explains why. The decision is yours and depends on much more: work, family, cost of living, paperwork. The report does not replace property, tax, immigration or financial advice.
What if I don't know my birth time?
Without a time, I will not sell you Meridian. The lines depend on the time, and the result would not be honest. The Soul Map works without it. If you only have a rough idea, talk to me: with an approximate time it can already be done.
My birth time is approximate. Will it do?
It will. The main ranking is the robust one, which combines your time with 15 and 30 minutes either side, and you are told this before you pay. Each place carries a stability sign. If the time is very vague, I show you the effect and you decide.
Where can I find my birth time?
On the birth record: in many countries, the full (long-form) birth certificate from the civil registry shows it. It may also be in an old baby or health record, or in family memory. A time with minutes is worth more than a round hour.
Can I ask for a place that is not a city?
You can. Any coordinate on the planet: your grandparents' village, an island, the house you are looking at. The Essential edition includes up to 3 places of your choice and the Complete edition up to 10.
How is this different from a free astrocartography map?
The free map draws the lines and leaves you to interpret them. Meridian assesses the whole world for you, gives each place a score that explains itself, separates it by theme and tests everything against birth-time error.
Is it made by a machine? Is it artificial intelligence?
The calculations are done by a purpose-built engine: it is mathematics, not invented text. The text comes from a written and reviewed body of work, which the engine assembles for your chart. Before it goes out, I review every report.
How long does it take?
I tell you the real delivery time on WhatsApp before you pay. Meridian is just starting, so the first deliveries may take longer. If the agreed time is missed, you can choose to wait or ask for a full refund.
Is my data stored?
Only what is needed to make the report, correct any error and send it again. The places you ask for, too. It is never sold or used for advertising, and it is deleted when you ask. It only passes through the providers the service needs (hosting, WhatsApp, encrypted backup), which are listed in the Privacy Policy.
What language is the report in?
In the language you choose when you order: European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, English or Polish.
What if we are moving as a couple?
For that there is Meridian for Two: the places that are good for the couple, not just for one of you.
The world is big. Your chart tells you where to start.
