Relocation Astrology

When you cast a chart you need three pieces of information: date, time and place. At any single moment somewhere on Earth the sun is rising and setting, culminating and anit-culminating. The location is the only difference. Two people born at the same moment but in different places may have quite different charts due to different angles and houses but the planets will be in exactly the same position.

To create a relocated chart change the location but put the time zone back to its original value at the birth location.

Your natal chart is locked to your birthplace. If a person moves a significant distance from this location they may consider using a chart relocated for their new abode. If they live their for some time they may experience the new house positions as more relevant than their natal ones.
