Free Relocation Chart Calculator
A relocation chart takes your exact birth moment and recasts it for a different place, keeping every planet in the same sign and degree but recalculating the houses, Ascendant, and Midheaven as though you had been born there instead. This calculator drops a pin anywhere on the map and computes that chart for you.How it works ↓
A relocation chart recasts your birth chart for a different location, keeping the same birth moment but recalculating the houses and angles as if you were born there. Drop a pin anywhere on the map to see your relocated chart for that place.
What changes when you relocate a chart
Relocating a chart keeps the birth moment fixed and moves the location. Because the houses and angles are calculated from the exact place a chart is cast for, moving that place shifts the Ascendant, the Midheaven, all twelve house cusps, and therefore which house every planet falls in, sometimes substantially even for a move of a few hundred miles.
A planet near a house cusp in your natal chart is the placement most likely to jump into a neighboring house after relocation, so it's worth checking those borderline placements first.
What stays the same
Your planets keep the same sign, degree, and aspects to each other no matter where you relocate the chart, because those are properties of the birth moment, not the birth location. A Sun in Scorpio in your natal chart is still a Sun in Scorpio after relocation. What moves is the houses those planets fall into and the angles the whole chart is built around.
How to read your relocated houses and angles
Start with the relocated Ascendant and Midheaven, since they set every house cusp and therefore decide which life areas the rest of the chart gets filed under. Then check where each planet's house placement changed compared to your natal chart, since that shift is the entire point of relocating in the first place.
A planet that moves onto an angle, close to the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, or IC, in the relocated chart becomes noticeably more prominent there than it was at birth, even though nothing about the planet itself has changed.
When relocation is worth casting
Relocation is most useful for a place you have actually lived, are seriously considering moving to, or are asking a specific question about, rather than as a general exercise across many cities. Because the technique answers how a place changes your chart, it works best applied to a real decision rather than idle comparison.
Why an accurate birth time matters even more here
Relocation depends entirely on your birth time, since the houses and angles it recalculates are exactly the parts of a chart that a birth time determines. An estimated or unknown birth time makes a relocated Ascendant and Midheaven unreliable in a way that doesn't apply to the planets' signs, which stay correct regardless.
If your birth time is uncertain, treat any relocated chart from this calculator as a rough sketch of the houses rather than a settled reading, and lean on the planets and aspects, which don't depend on birth time at all.
Relocation compared to astrocartography and local space
All three techniques relocate the same birth moment, but they answer different shaped questions. Astrocartography scans every location on Earth at once for where a single planet is angular. Local space gives you a compass direction from your birthplace. Relocation gives you the complete chart, houses and all, for one specific place you choose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my personality change if I relocate my chart?
No. Your planets, signs, and the aspects between them stay identical wherever you relocate the chart. Only the houses and angles change, which shifts where in your life those same placements tend to show up rather than what they are.
How far do I need to move for relocation to matter?
There is no fixed distance. House cusps and angles can shift noticeably over a few hundred miles, especially at higher latitudes, but the honest answer is to cast the relocated chart for the actual place in question rather than estimate from distance alone.
