The single most important use of local space in the astrologer/client relationship, in our experience, has been in locality shifts. "Where would be a good place for me to live?" is one of the more frequent questions asked this astrologer during a reading. In the past I have made use of the quite valid and useful traditional technique of adjusting the RAMC of the radix to the new locality and coming up with a new Ascendant, and so forth. The radix positions then are read in terms of these new angles. local space is by nature suited to express both celestial and geographic positions on one map or chart. Its special nature introduces several concepts not encountered in other techniques. Let us take a look at some of these. As I mentioned before, one can also plot the positions of cities and places on the earth on the map of the local space; so our next project then will be to translate all the important cities in our lives into their equivalent positions on the radix LS chart. We should be sure to include not only the places we ourselves have lived or visited, but also the cities that we have always thought we might like to visit -- that bring a warm feeling to mind, and so forth. The positions of cities where friends and not-so-friendlies live, where there are business relationships, etc. should also be included. We then examine these places in terms of their positions (or directions) on the LS chart with these thoughts in mind: Are these cities in aspect, in particular by conjunction or opposition? Are they in alignment with planets in the chart? In what quadrants and houses do these cities fall, and are any on the angles? We have found that individuals tend to move toward cities that are also in the directions of planets that represent the particular kind of energy they may require at that time. An individual, for instance, needing to invoke the key to success, often obtained through Jupiter, may make one or several moves in that direction. Although this concept is so simple as to almost be embarrassing, this technique has shown itself to be of great value. In any case, its value seems to be substantial rather than hypothetical. The local space chart can show a concrete, measurable relationship of the individual to any place -- a relationship which can vary from individual to individual, even in the same locality, as much as their local space charts vary from one another. Whatever may be the intrinsic character of a place -- and places undoubtedly have this. A selection of people could react very differently to it from the point of view of each one's own make-up; moreover, each could react differently at different times, under different astrological directions, and coming to it from different places or geographical directions. Although the mathematics involved in this system may seem a bit complex, the application of its technique is simple and direct; and this does much to recommend it. After the basic information in the radix local space chart has been taken in, we may want to construct secondary charts for the various localities where the individual has lived or travelled. These charts are equivalent to ones cast for this locality at the time of birth, as if one were born there. This involves a transformation of the radix positions as well as the more familiar shift around the angles of these positions. Aside from the initial direction from the radix of the locality shift, there are other factors to note. Thru a shift in locality, a planet (or even a city) may be brought onto (or away from) the horizon or an angle. We have found that a planet achieves high focus when on the horizon, in terms of its activity within the individual. In other words, we can adjust and tune our radix -- and ourselves -- thru locality shifts, much like we might tune a musical instrument. Another objective that might be accomplished by a locality shift is to bring a yet farther away city to high focus -- say, to an angle or in aspect to a planet, allowing a second locality shift to be made in its direction. This alters or modifies the psychic interaction of person and place by altering the direction of approach to it. The effect achieved would be quite other than that invoked by approaching it direct. Some of the magical quality of this dimension can be seen in the checkerboard-like world concept that emerges, where individuals not only move in relation to a planetary energy they require, but are ever adjusting and jockeying into position to achieve the most resonant move. http://www.absolutelypsychic.com
