Accra astrocartography
Accra sits at 5.60°N, 0.2°W — close enough to the equator that day and night barely change length across the year, and every planet rises and sets almost vertically. Which of your planetary lines fall near it, and how closely, depends entirely on when and where you were born.
Which of your lines reach Accra?
⚠️ A place has no fixed character
Any page telling you Accra is universally a “Jupiter city” is describing something that does not exist. The lines that cross it are different for every person born. The reading below is the only way to know which of yours reach here.
Do any of your lines reach Accra?
Three things, and the reading is yours. No account, no email, nothing kept.
What Accra’s position does to a reading
Astrocartography is geometry before it is anything else, so where a city sits changes how it behaves. These are facts about Accra rather than about you — they hold whoever is reading.
How close is close, here
Distances here are measured as real ground: one degree of orb is 111 km, the same width everywhere on earth. Accra sits close enough to the equator that a degree of longitude is also about 111 km, so our figures and those of older software that measures overhead lines in longitude will agree closely.
Every line can reach this latitude
A rising or setting line is a horizon curve, and it exists only where the body actually crosses the horizon. At 5.60°N that means a body within 84.4° of the celestial equator. All ten bodies stay inside that, so every one of the forty lines can pass through Accra’s latitude. Nothing here is ruled out by geometry — only by your own chart.
The same geometry, in daylight
The equation behind a rising line is the equation behind sunrise, so you can watch it work. At the summer solstice Accra gets about 12 hours 20 minutes of daylight, and at the winter solstice about 11 hours 40 minutes. The further a place sits from the equator, the steeper that swing — and the more slanted its horizon lines run.
The clock against the sun
Overhead and underfoot lines are meridians — they depend on longitude, not on what a clock happens to show. Accra sits almost exactly on its own zone’s meridian, so midday on the clock and midday by the sun agree to within a few minutes. Any planet standing overhead here has its opposite line running down the far meridian at 179.8°E, half a world away.
Places near Accra
All cities →Nothing else in the gazetteer sits within a degree of orb of Accra, so a line that misses here misses on its own. These are the nearest places to weigh it against.

Common questions about Accra
Which planetary lines run through Accra?
That depends on the day, hour, and place you were born — lines are personal, and two people born days apart can have completely different ones crossing Accra. Enter your birth details on this page to see which of yours pass nearby and how close they run.
Is Accra a good place to live?
There is no universally good or difficult city. Accra will hold some kinds of work and make others harder, depending on which of your lines reach it and how closely. Every line offers something and asks something in return, and we show both halves.
How close does a line have to be to Accra to count?
We measure the distance from the city to the line as real ground — about 111 km to the degree, the same everywhere on earth. Inside roughly half a degree is a direct hit; out to about two degrees still reads. Because a degree of longitude at Accra's latitude is only about 111 km, older software that measures overhead lines in longitude will quote a different figure for the same city.
Can every planetary line reach Accra?
Yes. At 5.60°N every one of the ten bodies rises and sets, so all forty lines can pass through this latitude. Whether any of yours actually do is a question only your own chart answers.
Where exactly is Accra?
Accra sits at 5.6037° latitude, -0.1870° longitude, keeping Africa/Accra time, with a population of about 2,291,352. Those coordinates are the point every line distance on this page is measured from.
What if none of my lines are near Accra?
Then we say so and leave it there. Most of the world is quiet ground for most charts, and a reading that finds something meaningful in every city on earth is not telling you anything. Quiet ground is not bad ground — it simply asks less of you.
