The phenomenon described above yields huge implications when it comes to mundane astrology. For example, think about Singapore: a city state of such a small size that it doesn’t offer any relocation possibilities except leaving the home country. For the Singaporean born between 1996 and 1999, they will have to either incorporate the planetary energy of Orcus (since the latitude of Singapore is 1.3 North) or leave the country. As we see, the fact that latitude varies slowly over the years for outer planets may explain potent trends worldwide. The study of such trends can be called mundane Astro-Cartography.

For instance, Ixion has been hovering for forty years over countries such as Brazil, South Africa and Madagascar, possibly leaving its mark in the form of Favelas, political unrest and downfall (Africa, Madagascar), while Orcus silently isolated countries such as Nicaragua, Honduras, and more recently Venezuela and Colombia, and in Africa, Soudan, Cameroon, Nigeria and more recently the democratic republic of Congo. Interestingly, in the 50’s, both Orcus and Pluto were located at 23-24° North, hovering over China and Taiwan, a timeframe that indeed corresponds with hardship for these two countries. In more recent times however (1980-2000), Haumea hovered over China and Taiwan (from 24° North to 15° North), as well as Saudi-Arabia and UAE providing them with abundance and wealth.

Of course, these global effects need to be modulated with each of the concerned countries’ charts. Yet I hope you are now convinced that the slow evolving latitude of potent planetary bodies contributes in shaping the world as we experience it today. Hence the term mundane Astro-Cartography.
