Introduction to the Basic Idea of Astrogeographia

based on the book :

Astrogeographia - Correspondences between the Stars and

Earthly Locations, A Bible of Astrology and Earth Chakras

by Robert Powell and David Bowden

The basic idea of Astrogeographia is that each place on

Earth corresponds to a unique star in the heavens,

its “star of birth”, which imprinted into that location

at the beginning of the Earth.

For example, the star Alnitak

in the “belt” of the Orion constellation

corresponds to the Great Pyramid

of Giza in Egypt.

Alnitak is seen here lined up

in longitude with the Great Pyramid.

The constellation of Orion was seen as

the god Osiris by the ancient Egyptians.

By fixing the longitude alignment of Alnitak with the Great

Pyramid, as well as the latitude alignment of the Celestial Equator

with Jerusalem, it becomes possible to calculate the “star of birth”

for every place on Earth.

The Celestial Equator (yellow circle)

is the projection of the Earth's Equator

out onto the sphere of the stars.

This is lined up with the latitude circle

through Jerusalem, at 31° 47′ N.

Any initial difficulty in understanding this alignment

can be resolved by realising that the continental plates

containing both Africa and the Middle East

have been moving in general northwards, since the time

of the original imprint of the stars onto the Earth.

When the “star of birth” for each place on Earth has been

calculated according to the above two alignments, a complete

map of the sphere of the stars onto the Earth emerges.
