  • I loved my reading with Amanda! She really over-delivered with much more rich detail about not only locations I requested, but found others to consider as well. I love the beautiful document I also received for easy reference. She was extremely knowledgable and thorough and weaved in other elements, such as herbalism. I highly recommend booking a session with Amanda!

    – Ruby N, Los Angeles CA

  • Amanda has a very beautiful and unique approach to Astrocartography. All of my locations were very well defined, and she gave me space to consider new opportunities along with the ones that were spot on for my past! If you can do a reading with them, I would suggest it highly! Amazing ✨

    – Maria, Oakland CA

  • I loved how my Astrocartography reading was so personal and customized that I really felt like she was previewing possible futures for me. I am super happy I reached out because this was just the push I needed to take steps forward.

    – Eric L, Los Angeles CA

  • I loved everything! I learned about three places that would be good for me to move to and why. I really appreciated the little extras also, such as picking a card from their Herbal Astrology oracle deck, as well as specifics on what herbal medicine would help me. I learned so much!

    – Leah S, Sacramento CA

  • This was amazing. I only wish we had more time to dive deeper! I was expecting to hear I would have to travel far and wide. Instead, Amanda gave simple ideas for me to try this month while I save and plan for my travels in the coming years.

    – Korina H, Las Vegas NV

  • I booked a session with Amanda because I’m looking for the best places to write my memoir and support creative writing. I loved the herbal astrology and that specific travel dates were provided!

    - SJ, Arizona

  • Amanda's ease and clarity in our Astrocartography reading was just what I needed to know so that I could start using the locations near and far that will best support me now and in the near future.

    – Julianna, California

  • Amanda has a deep and intuitive knowledge. The experience has been life-changing from day one. They provided insights and wisdom I would not have otherwise had by myself, the results were profound and almost immediate.

    Seema Jot K, Tucson AZ

  • Amanda is a true professional! She is very well-versed in astrology and the nuances of place and time. She was able to identify past locations with complete accuracy! She also gave interpretations of other possibilities on the planet; which gave me a bright, new, exciting outlook. I look forward to working with Amanda in the future.

    - Maria, Oakland ca

  • "I received a lot of clarity about the locations I was seeking out, great suggestions on alternative places and what energies could be evoked there, as well as wonderful suggestions on how to remotely integrate the energy of a location without going there and that's something I plan on implementing.”

    – Panda P, Sacramento CA

Frequently asked questions

  • Astrocartography is the "astrology of place". The term was coined in the 1970s by writer and astrologer Jim Lewis. Astrocartography essentially places your natal (birth) chart over a map of world. By shifting our location we can literally shift themes of our lives, as certain locations will activate certain energies in those places. This is because the aspects, angles and relationships between planets, signs and houses will change in relationship to where we were born.

    Have you ever travelled to the same place with the same person, done the same exact things, yet one person has a completely distinct experience from the other? You likely were experiencing the effects of Astrocartography, which can be felt almost immediately upon a shift in your physical location.

  • The answer may be more appropriately posed - how open are you looking at what it means to be human, beyond our finite understanding? If you're here, you're likely at least partly open to a different perspective. Our advice is come into a session with an openness and receptivity to information you may have not heard before but that possibly resonates, if even a little bit, on a soul level.

    We focus on the "astrology of place", and our training has roots in the ancient Hellenistic approach, when astrology and astronomy were one system. There must be a reason this has been around for at least 3000 years, and for those that have put the system into practice, the accuracy is often unmatched.

  • Each 60-min Locational Astrology reading includes a deep dive in your natal chart, relocated chart, and Astrocartography map. We clearly present the the top 3 locations based on your personal intentions for relocation and travel. We also address what locations would be most challenging. Our approach is to provide very specific details on locations (within 0-70 mi) as well as timing down to the month, week or even day.

    Our 60 min sessions also include a mini astro-herbalism reading on how to balance the earth, air, water and fire in your chart through the energetics of herbal medicine.

  • Your natal chart is a snapshot of the placement of the planets at your birth. The chart will show what planets are in what zodiac sign and in what “houses” or themes of life are most activated for you.

    What we love most about Locational Astrology is our ability to “shift” planets into different houses simply by changing our location or travel, thereby activating different themes of life (self, love, career etc) in different places.

    Relocated charts are another piece of the puzzle, which is your natal chart “relocated” to a different location. It’s an essential part of the reading, as it helps us assess what the main energies or challenges you may encounter in a specific location.

  • Locational Astrology & Astrocartography is for absolutely anyone who is curious about understanding themselves and their relationship to day-to-day life, travel or for a future home!

    In my experience, the people who take away the most from readings with me are those whom are already receptive to astrology, whom are open to different locations than they may have ever considered and have been doing other personal development work for awhile.

    A natal chart and Astrocartography reading simply confirms a path they may have already been experiencing on some left and gently guides them to their next phase of evolution in relationship to place.

    Of course, everyone is welcome and this offering is open to all who feel the call!

  • We structure our Astrocartography readings for novice to those with more experience. Our readings our primarily focused on providing clear and concise answers to “where and when are the 3 best locations for me?”

    As such we focus more on the energetics and qualities of each location based on your map and planetary transits. For those who have a bit more experience, we may spend a bit more time looking at the natal or relocated birth charts themselves.

  • I am specifically focusing on Locational Astrology and Astrocartography or the “astrology of place” for individuals looking to travel, relocate or to simply gain more information about where they currently live.

    I am also currently studying Medical Astrology and incorporate a mini astro-herbalism summary into my 60 minute locational astrology sessions.

    I am not focusing on relationship or synastry astrology at this time, but keep an eye out in the future as i may offer it.

  • Unfortunately, no. Though there may some branches of astrology that may practice predictive astrology this isn’t something that I am personally aligned with.

    It should be well noted this isn’t psychic channeling work, though plenty of our intuition is used along astrological data in our readings of your natal chart, astrocartography map and planetary transits that may affect your current or future location.

    We are a firm believer in your own self-sovereignty – you have absolute control over your own destiny. We’re here to guide you to the absolute best locations (and times) for self, work, relationship, home, friendship and spiritually based intentions.

  • The short answer is you won’t fully until we’ve had a chance to connect over a reading! If you’re still wondering, we suggest you learn more about our particular process and approach through our free content on our blog and IG.

    For first time and those new to astrology, you could also start with our one location or mini Astrocartography readings to get a feel for it.

  • They are extremely crucial to any Astrocartography reading and sometimes even more so than any planetary lines nearby!

    The reason for this is they allow us to hone in on an EXACT city or town in the region you might want to move or travel to. We can get as specific as 0-70 mi in an area.

    I am one of a handful of astrologer incorporating parans into my readings which can definitely “make or break” whether or not a location has the potential to be supportive vs challenging.

Hey, i’m Amanda. double cap, virgo rising.

Lover of ley lines, vortices, foreign languages and my Venus AC – I’m still getting acquainted with my inner artist and am a forever nomad at heart. A former dancer + brand designer, my first experience traveling was with 12 ex-pats in a North London flat in the late 90s. From an 8-year long initiation living on my Saturn/Chiron/Pluto lines, to my midheaven in the 9th house of travel and astrology, you could say I was born for this.
