Astrolocality Astrology is the authoritative textbook on the locality techniques of Astro*Carto*Graphy, Local Space and Geodetics.

Here's what Michael Erlewine, the originator of Local Space had to say about the book:
"As the originator of the Local Space technique, so valuable to me in understanding myself and my personal place in this world, I had always hoped that some writer would take the time to document this most useful and wonderful astrological technique. I had to wait some 25 years for a book to accurately present the concepts and the techniques in a clear, concise, and meaningful way. I want to thank Martin Davis for making this possible. Good job! — Michael Erlewine"

Here is what Linda Reid, author and head of the Canopus Academy of Astrology has to say about Martin's book:
" I have to confess that when I took this book to bed to read, I expected that I would be asleep within a few minutes, if the apparent technical nature of the subject had its usual soporific effect. 3 hours later I forced myself to put it down.


Martin Davis has approached the techniques of astrolocality astrology with step by step precision, building on the basic locality map in easy to follow stages, so that layer by layer, the flat map becomes a magical landscape. He has covered the principles of Astro*Carto*Graphy, Local Space Astrology and the Geodetic Chart in detail, clearly explaining the various applications for using the systems. However, this is not just a technical treatise, the book is alive with tales of his personal location experiences, skillfully interspersed between the definitions so that at no stage does the reader become bogged down in technicalities.


Davis writes in a crisp style with no padding - a rarity among astrology books these days. He manages to capture the interest of the reader with interesting anecdotal examples of well known personalities so that the maps resonate with energy as one discovers a new perspective on particular charts and events. I particularly enjoyed his treatment of the shift in aspect patterns that occurs in various locations and the consequent easing of difficult natal aspects. Our fates are not sealed! We just have to emigrate!


Those astrologers interested in Mundane events gain from his lucid exploration of the Geodetic chart and Davis takes this further with the fascinating idea that we are drawn to particular locations because those locations in a world geodetic chart match the angles of one's Natal Chart. This is an interesting theory and is illustrated with examples of what Davis calls 'resonance charts'. His theory led me to check my own and discovered a direct resonance with the town of Alice Springs. I certainly shall make a point of visiting.

This is a practical book, well illustrated with maps and charts, but unlike other technical books is warmed by Davis's obvious enjoyment of the subject. Students often complain to me that they find it difficult to grasp the complexities of locational astrology, do not fully understand which method to use or indeed, what are the different methods of earth charting. Davis has turned the complexities into simple terms and presented the subject matter with clarity. No one need be confused after reading this book. It rates a Highly Recommended from me and is bound to be one of those books that become an old friend and frequent reference source."
