Sat Feb 07 2026
In this episode, I'm setting aside the heavy topics to talk about something lighter: wine, place, and how your astrocartography can guide you to the bottles (and regions) that resonate most with your chart.
Astrocartography Basics
How to read your astrocartography map on astro.com (it's free!) What those lines and bubbles actually mean Why AC, DC, IC, and MC angles matter when choosing wine The Planetary Rulers of Wine
Venus: The primary ruler of wine, vineyards, and savoring pleasure Jupiter: Celebration, abundance, and knowing your limits Moon: Soil memory, lineage, and emotional resonance Sun: Vitality, recognition, and confidence Neptune: Mysticism, ritual, and (watch out for) escapism How to Use Astrocartography for Wine
Find wines from your Venus line for sensual, slow enjoyment Jupiter line wines for celebration and expansion Moon line wines for emotional grounding and nostalgia Sun line wines for confidence and achievement Why AC lines are the gold standard My Personal Wine Journey
How I realized I was drinking California wines (my Saturn line) during my darkest period My Saturn Return and sobriety journey How I now choose wines from my Venus AC (South America), Sun lines (New Zealand, Portugal), and Moon/Venus (South of France) The South African Neptune wine that literally went bad (a perfect metaphor) Join the Cosmic Happy Hour Friday, February 13 - Free for Substack subscribers We'll explore maps live, taste wine together, and dive into how astrocartography can be a lifestyle tool, not just a relocation technique.
