- No planetary line of this chart passes close to the city, so its score comes from smaller factors: house placements, parans and aspects to the local angles.
How the score works
Your birth date, time and place give a chart. Each planet then draws four lines on the world map: where it rose, set, culminated and anchored the ground at the moment you were born.
A city near a helpful line scores higher; a city near a demanding one asks more of you. The Total balances both for the time frame and life areas you choose, on a scale where 50 is a typical place.
The same city scores very differently for different people, which is why the sample statistics above are close to the average for most cities.
