A non-astrologer acquaintance of mine recently paid for an Astrocartography report from a group that uses Jim Lewis' work to help clients determine which cities might be best for them should they decide to relocate. She asked me for any help I could give in grasping the main points of the report -- and the report is fairly long, so I was happy to give her any input I could.
Having now read it in its entirety, I believe I understand it pretty well... My biggest problem, though, is that it's only a textual write-up; no charts, maps, or other visual aids are included. This makes it almost impossible to try to apply what I know of astrology to the data, as I have nothing to go on that's not included in the report itself -- I can't tell what its creators chose to ignore as "unimportant," and I can't double-check whether their findings seem reasonable based on that data, either.
I ran this person's birth chart myself, as I figured it would help in this analysis, but I'm kind of coming up empty when searching for some way that might enable me to also create the kinds of maps that the people who generated the report must have used. I haven't found any free sites online that will crank out this kind of map, so I'm wondering if my only option would be purchasing some kind of software specifically geared for this kind of practice? So far, she's the only person who's ever asked me about locational Astrology, and I'm therefore not so keen on the idea of pouring any real money into this...so I thought I'd next take an informal poll of the more experienced astrologers here. Any tips or advice would be much welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for any help you can give!
