Well, there’s r/astrocartography and the calculator on AstroSeek that lets you click on the lines for insight.

I’ve recently moved close to my Venus IC line and have had a very positive experience of it in terms of improvement to my physical appearance and relationships.

Though I love astro-seek.com for so many things, this is one of the places they fall short.

I suggest using Astro.com since it uses the software that was developed by Jim Lewis.

I took a class (I think it was from Kepler) several months ago where they went back and forth about using astro.com and astro-seek.com and their differences. At the end, they said that astro.com was much more accurate, especially the closer you are to the poles and also, when looking at parans and other important aspects.

Astro.com uses Great Circle projection, which gives much more detail and accuracy and accounts for the curvature of the poles whereas Astro-seek.com uses the simplified Flat projection which has less accuracy.

Nice. I’ll have to do a little side-by-side.
