The Excitement and Instability Map shows geographic areas where life tends to take unexpected turns, and plans tend not to turn out as expected.

If you are hoping to settle down in a place and have a peaceful, stable life with few surprises, then avoid those areas on the map which are designated as strong in excitement and instability. However, if you want to get out of a rut and experience a change in lifestyle, then these places can be just want you want.

Areas on the map that are tinted with a red color are the best areas for excitement and instability. Yellow areas are also good, but not as powerful as the red areas. The orange-colored areas fall in between the red and yellow areas in intensity. A geographic area varies from light yellow (slight emphasis) to deep red (strongest emphasis).

An area with no coloration is not a strong area for excitement and instability. This does not mean that you are destined to be completely bored and apathetic in these areas! It simply means that there is no astrological boost to help you get out of ingrained habits, but this fact does not mean that there is a roadblock that prevents you from being innovative and pioneering. For many people seeking some excitement but not wanting changes that are too extreme, a yellow colored area can be a good choice.

Of course, you need to combine the astrological information with the nature of the place itself. Life in a big city is likely to be more hectic, dynamic, and full of surprises than life in a remote, rural area. On the other hand, some people are surprised to find themselves caught in a rut even in an area that seemingly would provide tremendous opportunities for exploration and new experiences, and conversely find themselves enlivened in an area that would seem less stimulating; astrological factors often explain these deviations from what we expect.

Note also that astrology is not fatalistic. It is up to you to utilize the energies available to you in the best possible way. Astrology can help you better understand what kinds of energies underlie your present situation, and thereby help you to take the right steps to improve your life.

The Excitement and Instability Map shows areas where you are likely to meet surprises and unexpected changes. There are also qualitative differences to various geographic areas. In some areas, for example, the effect may be more emotional, inclining you to upsets in personal relationships, and in other areas it may be mental, inspiring you to explore ideas and concepts that previously you had ignored. Both areas bring new things into your life, but in different ways. Given below is a brief explanation of the influences that are in your Excitement and Instability Map. If you follow the lines through the map, you will see astrological symbols in a light yellow or pink oval-shaped area. Locate the symbol on the pages below to see what the "flavor" of this influence is. In the description of these astrological influences we frequently emphasize what you can do to utilize the astrological influence to best advantage. As we said earlier, astrology is not fatalistic and should never be an excuse for failure or problems in your life. You have the ability and opportunity each day to express the energies available to you in new, creative, positive life-enhancing ways.

Some symbols have a number between the 2 glyphs of the planets. If the number is 20, 80, 100, 140, or 160 it will not appear in the list of symbols below, but it has the same meaning as the number 40. Here is a list of numbers that do not appear in the list of symbols below, and the number in the symbol with the same meaning:

           40 is the same as 20, 80, 100, 140, and 160
           72 is the same as 36, 108, and 144.
           51-26 is the same as 25-43, 77-09, 102-51, and 154-17.

Areas of intensity on your Excitement and Instability Map are very sensitive to accuracy of birth time. On average, a difference of 1 minute in the time of birth can move the astrological influence about 15 miles in an east-west direction. Because it is very possible that your birth time can be inaccurate by a few minutes, you may find that the Excitement and Instability Map can pinpoint the towns and cities that are most suitable for you, but you must rely on your own intuition to guide you to the most suitable areas within that town.

Your Excitement and Instability Map is based on the most sophisticated and accurate astrological techniques available. These astrological influences have not yet been scientifically verified and astrology is a very controversial subject, but we do believe that there is validity to this map, and we hope you find it useful.
