Thinking About Leaving the Country?

We are a nation of roamers, moving at a more frequent rate than natives of any other country. The majority of those moves are internal and originate because of a job change, or a desire to join a family member. However, there is a restless nature to us Americans. Most of us are just two to four generations from those who came from other countries, seeking a better life. It is in our gene pool to take risks and make big changes in location.

The spirit of picking up and moving towards greener pastures continues to be alive and well in America. Especially over the past year: 2025 saw more people leaving American than entering it for the first time since 1935.  Some people are leaving because of the acceleration in the cost of living.  Others are seeking a more relaxed lifestyle, and a safer environment.

Then there is the political strife and perplexing wars that have spurred expatriation to new heights. The relatively new ability to work remotely and earn money in US dollars while living abroad in a less expensive economy has contributed greatly to the ability to pack up and leave. However, there are risks associated with moving to an unknown country and some people end up needing to try several locations before achieving a successful relocation.

Astrology has a very useful component called AstroCartoGraphy that can assist in choosing the right country to move to, thus minimizing multiple attempts to find the right country. AstroCartoGraphy was created in the 70’s by a fellow San Franciscan and brilliant astrologer, Jim Lewis, who applied a long-held premise in astrology that says if a planet is either rising or overhead at the time of one’s birth, its influence is actually stronger than even one’s Sun or Moon sign. Jim Lewis opined that if one was not lucky enough to be born with a positive planet on one of these two critical angles of the sky, one could move to where it was rising or overhead.

Thus, AstroCartoGraphy was born and has been used by millions to maximize the odds of a successful relocation. Additional applications of AstroCartoGraphy have included employing it to find a good vacation or retreat spot. Some business owners have asked for a Location reading to explore which area of the country might be best for an additional retail setting. Parents have used this tool to help their children select a college that will provide the best learning experience for them. When looking for the right match of a college I look for a Mercury influence, which supports intellectual prowess and a desire to learn!  

I have been offering AstroCartoGraphy guidance for many years and marvel at the accuracy of information embedded in its maps. This location system also gives extremely helpful information about specific areas in our country or the world where things might not go well, saving a person from the hardships and expense of a failed move. The applications of AstroCartoGraphy are endless. The maps it produces can suggest locations for a variety of goals, such as a focus on career, or finding love, or even finding a great place to enjoy retirement. The location guidance AstroCartoGraphy offers addresses many areas of our lives and in my experience is invaluable.

I do hope you are faring well during these times of change and living in a place that supports your goals and happiness.
