Astrocartography
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
A locational technique. Each natal planet produces lines on a world map indicating where the planet was at a specific position (rising, setting, upper or lower meridian) at the moment of birth. Living near a line activates that planet's themes for the native at that location.
