Astrokartografi: coğrafya & kader.

Bazı insanlar kendi vatanında başarılıdır, bazıları ise bulunduğu konumda tüm koşulların aleyhine çalıştığını hisseder. Bazen bir şehir veya ülke değişiminin her şeyi değiştirdiğini görürüz. Kariyerimizdeki sıkışma çözülür veya uzun zamandır aradığımız gerçek aşkı hiç beklemediğimiz bir şehirde buluruz. Ya da bir şehre/ülkeye gittiğimizde sanki orayı daha önce tanıyormuşçasına “Deja Vu” yaşarız. Bu etkileşim de genellikle kişinin karmik izdüşümleriyle buluşması ile alakalıdır. Bu buluşma kişinin ruhsal dengesini değiştirip güçlendirir ve huzur bulmasına yardımcı olur.

Peki bu çalışmayı nasıl yapıyoruz? Gezegen hatları bizim için son derece önemlidir ve bu süreçte özellikle köşe noktaları etkin bir şekilde kullanırız. Bir doğum haritasında dört köşe nokta vardır: AC, IC, DC, MC. Bu köşe noktalar doğum haritalarında sırasıyla 1, 4, 7 ve 10. Ev girişleridir.

MC, yani haritanın tepe noktası, kariyer ve hayat yolunu temsil eden 10. evin girişidir. Bu sebeple MC hatlarının iz düştüğü bölgeler kişinin kariyeri açısından çok önemli olacaktır. MC’ye eşlik eden gezegenin doğasına göre kişinin kariyer açısından hangi ülke ve şehirlerde zorlanacağı veya nerede en yüksek potansiyelini ortaya çıkaracağı incelenebilir.

Örneğin Mars, Satürn ve Plüton izdüşümlü bölgeler daha fazla mücadele, zorlanma ve dönüşüm getirebilirken; Güneş, Merkür, Venüs ve Jüpiter’in geçtiği bölgeler kişinin kariyer açısından gücünü en yüksek şekilde gösterebileceği konumlar olabilir. Özellikle de Güneş/MC hattı bu konuda çok önemlidir. Aynı şekilde kendimiz veya çocuğumuzun hangi ülkede eğitim almasının daha iyi olacağını öğrenmek istiyorsak Jüpiter/MC ve Merkür/MC hatları da bize çok şey söyler.

Hayat konforu, yeni bir yaşam ve ev hayatı kurma konusunda IC çizgileri de son derece önemlidir. IC, doğum haritasında hane, aile ve mülkleri temsil eden 4. evin girişidir. Bu bölgeyle MC çizgilerini kesiştirerek de maddi manevi en verimli hayatı nasıl kuracağımızı saptayabiliriz. Ay/IC, Güneş/IC, Venüs/IC gibi hatlar yine bize konforlu bir yaşam vaat eder. Zorlayıcı gezegenler Mars, Satürn ve Plüton hatları ise daha çetrefilli koşulları ortaya çıkarabilir.

Yükselenin sembolü AC, 1. Ev girişidir. Bizim dış dünyadaki imajımız ve fiziksel bedenimizi temsil eder. AC hattının geçtiği bölgeler kariyer/lokasyon analizinde destekleyici olarak kullanılır. En önemlisi de bazı insanın bedensel ve ruhsal sağlığı konum değiştirdiğinde daha iyi hale gelebilir. Bu bağlamda AC’nin özellikle iyicil gezegenlerle irtibatlarının geçtiği bölgeler sıhhat adına daha pozitif etkiler verebilir. Ayrıca AC/Güneş hatlarının geçtiği bölgeler her anlamda daha görünür olup kolay fark edildiğimiz konumlardır.

Ve mevzubahis ilişkiler olduğu zaman uzun soluklu ilişkiler, ortaklık ve evliliği temsil eden 7. Ev yöneticisi DC’ye bakarız. DC’nin özellikle daha romantik etkiler taşıyan Ay, Venüs, Neptün gibi gezegenlerle yaptığı hatlar ruh eşini bulmak, doğru duygusal bağı kurmak adına önemlidir. Özellikle DC/Venüs hattının denk düştüğü bölgeler duygusal konularda en etkili destekleri sağlayabilir. Öte yandan zorlu gezegenlerin olduğu konumlarda yıpratıcı ilişki ve ortaklık deneyimleri yaşayabiliriz.

Bir de işin ruhsal ve karmik boyutu var. Güney Ay Düğümü, GAD’ın geçtiği alanlar önceki hayat etkisi (bu kavrama inanmıyorsak atalarımızdan gelen etki) taşır. Kişinin önceki enkarnasyonlarında nerede ve nasıl koşullar altında olduğu özellikle GAD hattı ve o bölgede olan gezegenlerle tespit edilir. Bireyin GAD hattındaki konumları ziyaret etmesi ona ruhsal açıdan iyi gelebilir hatta zihnindeki eksik parçaları tamamlamasını sağlayabilir. Kuzey Ay Düğümü KAD ise bu yaşamımızda bize iyi gelebilecek, daha fazla ileriye bakabileceğimiz ve ilham alabileceğimiz konumları bulmamıza yardımcı olur.

Bu analizde çizgileri yorumlarken ev sembolizmine de bakarız. MC çizgisinin sağı(doğusu) bir önceki evin etkisini (9. Ev) taşır ve bu sayede ayrıca MC çizgisine bakarak kişinin olası eğitim, ticaret ve hukuki süreçlerde potansiyelini görebiliriz. MC çizgisinin solu (batısı) ise asıl temsil ettiği yer olan 10. Evi gösterir.

AC çizgisinin sağı (doğusu) 12. Ev etkisini taşır ve bu hatların bulunduğu konumlarda ruhsal anlamda blokajlar yaşıyor olabiliriz. Bu bölgeler önceki hayat enerjisi de taşıyabilir. Kişinin bu bölgelere gitmesi ve ruhsal çalışmalar yapması faydalı olabilir. AC çizgisinin solu (batısı) asıl temsil ettiği yer olan 1. Evi (yükselen) gösterir.

DC çizgisinin sağı (doğusu) 6. Ev etkisini taşır ve bu hatlarda daha fazla sorumluluk, rutin konular, sağlıkla alakalı problemlerle karşılaşabiliriz. Kişi bu bölgelerde çırak ve kalfalık sürecini yaşayabilir. İnsan hayatının daha sadeleşmesi ve netliğine hizmet eder. DC çizgisinin solu (batısı) asıl temsil ettiği yer olan 7. Evi (alçalan) gösterir.

IC çizgisinin sağı (doğusu) 3. Ev etkisinin taşır ve bu bölgelerde daha hızlı ve dinamik bir tempoda yaşayabiliriz. Seyahat ve iletişim trafiği oldukça yüksek olabilir. Yakın çevre, kardeşler ve akrabalarla alakalı konularda daha fazla yoğunluk ve çözümlemeler yaşayabiliriz. IC çizgisinin solu (batısı) asıl temsil ettiği yer olan 4. Evi gösterir.

İzdüşüm çizgilerini daha da zenginleştirmek adına yerel konum haritalarını da kullanabiliriz. Bu haritaları yorumlamak ise elbette daha ileri seviye astroloji bilgisi gerektirir.

Merak edilen şehir/ülke konumlarına göre Relokasyon Haritaları ile kişinin haritası tekrar çıkartılarak bu kişinin konumlarda nasıl bir hayat süreceği yorumlanabilir. Bu türetilmiş harita asıl doğum haritasından daha farklı olabilecek ve kişiye bu sebeple iyisiyle kötüsüyle daha farklı bir yaşam vaat edecektir. Yorumlanışı klasik doğum haritası yorumlanışıyla büyük benzerlik taşır. Özellikle spesifik bir lokasyon hakkında bilgi almak istiyorsak izdüşümlerin yanı sıra Relokasyon haritaları da Astrokalite açısından bize büyük fayda sunar. Merak edilen konumda çıkabilecek zorlu bir harita zahmetli bir süreç yaratabilirken bazı konumlar ise kendi doğum haritamızın potansiyelini dahi aşmamızı sağlayabilir. Haritanın aksları, Güneş başta olmak üzere tüm yerleşimleri değişebilir.

Tüm bu analizleri yaparken merak edilen konular doğrultusunda uygun konseptli asteroitleri de kullanırız. Chiron, Juno, Vesta, Pallas gibi birçok asteroidin izdüşümleri bu süreçte de fayda sağlar. Bu tür çalışmalar kesinlikle tekil bilgilerle ile yorumlanmamalı ve harita mutlaka bütünsel incelenmelidir. Doğum saatinin netliği çalışmanın verimliliği adına büyük önem taşımaktadır.

How to read your AstroCartography Map to Plan Travel

Curious about how to read your AstroCartography map so you can choose the best places to travel to and get the best out of your natal astrology? In this blog I share my own experiences and tips of living and working astrocartography as I’ve travelled and relocated around the world – so if you’re looking for tips on how to work with your AstroCartography lines, read on!

As a lover of both astrology and travel as incredibly powerful tools for self-discovery, growth, change, navigating life transitions and so much more, you can imagine how excited I was several years ago to discover that there was a tool that blends exactly these two things.

From the moment I first discovered how to calculate my AstroCartography chart, I was hooked.

Those places that had called to me all of my life, suddenly made sense.

The places that I’d never really felt at home in or had downright challenging experiences, suddenly made sense too.

The thing is, there’s a reason we feel drawn to certain places – and that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are the easiest places for us to be – but in my experience it does mean that the energy – the planetary lines and influences running through there – do have medicine and wisdom for us.

As someone who has travelled the world mostly full time since 2015 and a career in travel for 13 years, AstroCartography mapping is the tool I wish I’d known about when I first started travelling 20 years ago.

So, without further ado, let’s get into some pointers for how to read your AstroCartography map, and how you can use that information to plan the perfect trip!

What is AstroCartography?

AstroCartography is a type of locational astrology, created by astrologer Jim Lewis in the 1970’s. Simply speaking, it is a visual system for mapping how your astrological birth chart (natal chart) corresponds to different locations on earth.

More specifically, AstroCartography maps the locations where the planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus et al) were rising and setting around the world at the time of your birth.

When clients do readings with me, there are more types of locational astrology that I factor into the mix beyond AstroCartography for a more holistic approach, but AstroCartography is a great tool for getting started, and in particular thanks to the free map on astro.com, it’s easy to play around with if familiar with the different planetary archetypes and energies.

Using AstroCartography, you can easily locate your different lines – for example your AstroCartography Venus line or your AstroCartography Moon Line – and see which locations they run through in the world.

How to Use AstroCartography to Make Decisions on Location & Travel

There are multiple software options that offer AstroCartography, but the best free one to use is the one on Astrodienst. Simply go to astro.com and select the AstroClick Travel chart. It has handy descriptions when you click on a place so it’s perfect for beginner dabbling.

NB: For AstroCartography you need to know your accurate time of birth. AstroCartography is all based on the angles of your chart, which change by the minute.

Which are the Best AstroCartography Lines?

A common question I get, is which is the best line to go to or visit? Which is the best AstroCartography line to live on?

And the answer – somewhat predictably is, it depends. Let me explain why.

AstroCartography is just one very specific form of astrology – and although working with it on its own can be helpful, it is far more powerful when combined with the wisdom and magic available through working with your natal chart as a whole and your current transits.

For example, you can be in the middle of your Pluto square Pluto transit and travel to your Venus AS line, but still feel like you’re living in deep pain and your worst fears are coming up to be dealt with. Ultimately, there’s no escape from the Pluto cycle – but we do get to choose to put ourselves somewhere more supportive for the process and healing.

Likewise, if you’re planning to launch your next big project and share it with the world, going to your Venus IC line may not help you in the ways you hope. As that’s a much more inwards energy.

It also depends very much on: What are you looking for? What are you seeking at this time? How are you looking to be supported on your life journey? What is your soul needing?

That said, there are some really supportive energies to look for when searching for where to settle longer term (eg home) – it’s really hard to go wrong with Sun, Moon, or Venus on your IC, unless you have other challenging lines crossing in the same location. But again, it’s really best to make these decisions when taking your whole natal and relocated chart into consideration, as well as current transits for big decisions like this. If you would like to take a holistic look at where is right for you looking at all of these things, you can book a Soul Travel Oracle reading with me here .

What Kind of Trip are you Planning?

When working with AstroCartography to plan travel, one of the first things to do is to spend some time sitting with your intention and what you want to get out of your upcoming trip. That will help inform you about which AstroCartography lines and which energies would be best to work with.

Or, you can simply take the AstroCartography as inspiration – by looking at where the most beneficial lines are for you, where they pass through, and consider how they relate to the places that most call to you / you most feel drawn to.

A few pointers:

• If you want to go somewhere on a healing retreat or take time for yourself to heal after life challenges, Chiron can be a supportive energy to work with
• If you want a lazy week in the sun look for Venus – Mars lines may have you running around more than you bargained for!
• For those once in a lifetime journeys of the unknown and adventure, Jupiter lines are your teacher and guide
• And if you’re really over something and ready to let it go and create something new instead, Pluto lines can be very supportive in the death-rebirth process – this energy is often avoided in AstroCartography and is incredibly powerful and transformative, even if it’s not always easy at the time.

It’s not always about the AstroCartography Lines, but it’s a great place to start

There’s more to the energy of a place of course than the AstroCartography – I believe that land holds different energies, which can be affected by the history of a place, and what has happened there. Places that have seen incredible hardships, genocide, or constant destruction through climate change can take on a heavier energy than their lines may suggest when you learn to read your AstroCartography map.

That said, I also believe that AstroCartography can be seen as a tool to guide us home. To our truest selves. And this is the deepest work.

The AstroCartography map can be seen as a way to find the missing parts of ourselves; to reclaim our stories and unfinished business from past lives, and reintegrate the pieces of our story we have forgotten – whether we can physically travel to those places or not.

And sometimes, the places we are most drawn to are on the most challenging AstroCartography lines – but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go.

Following this path and journey is a process, which is why I love to support and guide women home along this journey. You can find out more about working with me here .

How Your Astrological Chart Can Tell You Where to Travel Next

Feeling restless with your location or in need of a getaway — but can't quite figure out where to go? Astrocartography is an emerging travel trend to help with those destination dilemmas.

Plenty of people in the world find themselves restless with their surroundings — they're yearning for a change in location, but figuring out where that next Big Move is supposed to take them, or where to spend their hard-earned money on visiting, isn't always easy to determine. The answer might be closer to home than you think: your Astrological Chart.

Recently in the travel space, some travelers have started turning to their own zodiacs in the form of Astrocartography, an astrology-based system that uses your chart and a map of the earth to find out which places on the planet might suit you best for your next jaunt, near or far. Feeling bogged down by your career? Maybe skip New York. On a path of growth and change? A hike up a mountain could do the trick. Lovelorn? Get thee to Italy!

It's a little more complicated than that, so let's break down the specifics of Astrocartography and how it could help you decide your next trip.

What is Astrocartography?

Astrocartography, at its most basic, is the process of adding lines to a global map based on your astrological birth chart that gives personal meaning to certain locations. More precisely, it is a locational astrology system that takes your astrological birth chart — based on the time, date and place of your birth — and overlays it with a map of the Earth.

Astrocartography can be explored through often-free software online or, for more precise and perhaps trusted insight, you can get a professional reading and be shown the four angles of your birth chart (Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven and Imum Coeli) and how they correspond to certain places on Earth. Any planet close to the four angles of your birth chart will affect you, and thus your travel, in a stronger way.

Where did Astrocartography come from?

Renowned American astrologer Jim Lewis (1941-1995) popularized the modern-use of location astrology in the 1980s, creating maps, writing books and articles, and formalizing the practice. He even copywrote the name as Astro*Carto*Graphy.

Today, Evolutionary Astrologer Ralph MacIntyre has been studying Astrology for the better part of the last 40 years, and in the early 2000s, he was able to utilize Google Maps to create a more sophisticated version of what Lewis had pioneered with older technology. Now, there are hundreds of Astrocartographers on the web, some with their own proprietary software, and available for readings. MacIntyre gets upwards of 50 inquiries a month from people looking to use Astrocartography, he says.

If you want to try it yourself without the professional reading, a few simple steps through free software online will get you started, but be wary: once you get into the process of reading and deciphering your chart, it can take a long time to understand the lines on the chart, what they represent, and how best to utilize them in your travels or decision to move. If you want a thorough explanation, it’s best to get a reading done, though MacIntyre humbly cautions not to put too much stock in anything someone is selling you.

“A lot of people just want me to tell them where the best place is for them to live,” he says, “but it’s not that simple. My readings tend to be more soul level, helping you to understand what you’re here to do. And then once you understand what your soul’s habits are, the karma you’re working on, then we can go to the map.”

Astrocartography in action

In Mass., my natal line of Mercury ran north to south directly through the middle of the state. Mercury is the planet ruling intellect, and it said, “When you traverse this line, you are likely to experience an eventful home life. The doorbell is always ringing, the telephone is in constant use and any computer networks are lively. This is ideal if you are seeking to set up a business in your house or if you want more stimulation in your house. [...] It is also possible you are constantly in communication with a member of your family who resides at this location.” I have always thought that I would end up back in Massachusetts; an inexplicable pull has always been there and, in my late 30s, I have been feeling this even more. And, yes, I’m definitely in constant communication with my family there!

And for London, where my Pluto line crosses nearby, I’ve been challenged professionally and personally during a Masters program and simultaneously getting psychoanalytic therapy that has ultimately made me mature my means of communication, tested my patience, and helped me grow as a person. My chart said: “Be prepared for transformation along this line. [...] Events occur that change your ideas about yourself. It is possible that unforeseen emotional and psychological issues will surface forcing you to re-evaluate yourself and your relationships. [...] Perhaps you enjoy taking more time for self-reflection. Transformation of the self is the key.”

Lifestyle and wellness expert Justine Ma did a whole year’s worth of travel based on her chart. She received an Astrocartography reading as a gift when she became displaced during the 2018 Kīlauea volcano eruption on the Big Island of Hawaii, and uncertain as to whether or not it was safe to stay on the island due to the sulfuric acid and active lava flow, she accepted a reading as a form of guidance.

“I had no idea what Astrocartography was,” says Ma, a New York City native, “however, as a world traveler, I was intrigued.”

.css-1n3l8cl{font-family:GTWalsheim,GTWalsheim-weightbold-roboto,GTWalsheim-weightbold-local,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:1.625rem;font-weight:bold;line-height:1.2;margin:0rem;}@media(max-width: 48rem){.css-1n3l8cl{font-size:1.75rem;line-height:1.2;}}@media(min-width: 64rem){.css-1n3l8cl{font-size:1.875rem;line-height:1.2;}}.css-1n3l8cl b,.css-1n3l8cl strong{font-family:inherit;font-weight:bold;}.css-1n3l8cl em,.css-1n3l8cl i{font-style:italic;font-family:inherit;} Reading your Astrocartography chart will guide you towards places that work in your favor, but there will always be a lesson or experience to grow from no matter where the lines fall on your chart.

The Astrologer did her maps and told her that it’d be beneficial to go to Oaxaca, Mexico, skip New York City, and head somewhere south of Rome. Ma adds: “I felt like this was a message I shouldn’t take lightly. Since I make my own work schedule, I was up for the challenge. I wanted to know who or what was waiting for me in these locations. Some people asked if I was nervous to embark on a trip based on the reading, but I was ready for it. I knew getting around wouldn’t be an issue since I solo travel often, and after living abroad in Milan, I speak Italian and mediocre Spanish; I knew the biggest challenge for me would be trusting the process... and it was.”

When she began her journey, she booked one-way flights and looked for signs wherever she went. The Astrocartographer predicted she had the potential to learn a lesson to benefit her growth in Oaxaca Mexico (trust), may regret her visit to New York City (old triggers) and would enjoy her trip to Italy since she was following her Venus (love) line on the map.

”When I started to notice that the predictions were accurate, I began to rely heavily on them. While in Mexico I decided to visit a waterfall and got stuck in a lightning storm at the bottom of a mountain. The only way to get out was to put one foot in front of the other, even though I wanted to give up.”

In Italy, her electricity went out for three days and in the quiet and the dark, Ma began to think for herself and ruminate on her current journeys. It was there that she realized Hawaii was calling her home. It was there she developed a plan to build a women’s retreat for solo travelers on the property she owns in Hawaii. It was there that she realized she had to keep traveling around the world and continue unfinished business from her first world tour back in 2011. After completing her Astrocartography world tour, Ma believes the trip was beneficial, necessary, healing and abundant.

“There are places in the world that will benefit you and there are places in the world that will challenge you,” says Ma. “Reading your Astrocartography chart will guide you towards places that work in your favor, but there will always be a lesson or experience to grow from no matter where the lines fall on your chart.”

Exploring Astral Travel: What it is, How to Do it and What Benefits You Can Expect

By Happy Sharer

Introduction

Astral travel, or astral projection, is a spiritual practice that has been used for centuries by many different cultures around the world. It involves consciously separating one’s consciousness from their physical body and traveling to other realms, dimensions, or planes of existence. This article will explore the concept of astral travel, explain the basics, discuss the potential benefits, and outline some tips for preparing for an astral journey.

Explaining the Basics of Astral Projection

The term “astral travel” comes from the Latin word astra , which means “star”. Astral travel is sometimes referred to as out-of-body-experience (OBE) or soul travel. It is a belief that one can leave their physical body and explore the spiritual realms.

What is Astral Projection?

Astral projection is the process of separating one’s consciousness from their physical body in order to explore the spiritual realms. During this experience, the person’s spirit leaves their body and travels to other realms, dimensions, or planes of existence. These realms can be accessed through meditation, lucid dreaming, visualization, or hypnosis.

Different Types of Astral Projection

There are several different types of astral projection. The most common type is lucid dreaming, which is when a person is aware that they are dreaming and can control the dream environment. Other types of astral projection include remote viewing, astral projection, and astral walking. Each type of astral projection has its own unique characteristics and benefits.

How to Prepare for Astral Projection

In order to prepare for astral projection, it is important to clear your mind and relax your body. This can be done through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. It is also important to set an intention for the astral journey, such as healing, learning, or exploring. Once you have set your intention, it is time to begin the actual practice of astral projection.

Discussing the Benefits of Astral Travel

There are many potential benefits to astral travel, including increased awareness and insight, access to other dimensions, and enhanced spiritual growth. Here are some of the most common benefits of astral travel.

Accessing Other Dimensions

One of the most exciting aspects of astral travel is the ability to access other dimensions. By leaving your physical body, you can explore alternate realities and gain a better understanding of the universe. You may even encounter beings from other realms who can provide guidance and insight into life’s mysteries.

Increased Awareness and Insight

Astral travel can help to open your eyes to new possibilities and give you a greater understanding of the world. During an astral journey, you may gain insight into your life’s purpose, uncover answers to questions you have had, or gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation.

Enhancing Spiritual Growth

Astral travel can also be used as a tool for spiritual growth. By exploring other realms, you can connect with your higher self and access divine wisdom. This can be a powerful way to deepen your spiritual connection and gain a better understanding of your place in the universe.

Describing Different Techniques for Astral Travel

There are several different techniques that can be used to enter the astral realm. Here are some of the most popular techniques.

Meditation is a powerful tool for entering the astral realm. By focusing your attention on your breath and allowing your mind to become still, you can enter a state of relaxed awareness. From this state, you can begin to explore the astral plane.

Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is another popular technique for astral travel. In this technique, you become aware that you are dreaming and then use this awareness to explore the dreamscape. Through lucid dreaming, you can access other realms and explore the spiritual realms.

Visualization

Visualization is another technique for astral travel. By using your imagination to visualize a place or situation, you can access the astral realm and explore its depths. Visualization can be a powerful way to access hidden knowledge and gain insight into your life’s path.

Hypnosis can also be used to access the astral realm. By entering a hypnotic trance, you can access the subconscious mind and explore the spiritual realms. Hypnosis can be a powerful tool for gaining insight and clarity into your life.

Sharing Tips for Preparing for Astral Travel

Before embarking on an astral journey, it is important to take the necessary steps to prepare. Here are some tips for preparing for astral travel.

Establishing a Routine

Creating a routine is one of the best ways to prepare for astral travel. Establishing a regular practice of meditation, yoga, or other relaxation techniques can help to create a foundation for your astral journey. This can help to ensure that you are mentally and physically prepared for the experience.

Setting Intentions

Before beginning your astral journey, it is important to set an intention. Setting an intention can help to focus your energy and create a clear direction for your journey. It can also help to ensure that you stay focused and present during the experience.

Clearing Your Mind

It is also important to clear your mind before embarking on an astral journey. Taking the time to relax, meditate, and clear your mind can help to ensure that you remain open and receptive during the experience. This can help to ensure that you get the most out of your journey.

Outlining Potential Risks of Astral Travel

Although astral travel can be a powerful and transformative experience, there are potential risks involved. It is important to be aware of these risks and take the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and successful journey.

Negative Energy Attachments

One potential risk of astral travel is the possibility of negative energy attachments. During the astral journey, it is possible to come into contact with negative entities or energies. If these attachments are not cleared, they can cause disruption or blockages in the physical and spiritual realms.

Unwanted Encounters

Another potential risk of astral travel is the possibility of unwanted encounters. It is possible to come into contact with dark entities or negative energies during the astral journey. It is important to be aware of these potential risks and take the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and positive experience.

Difficulty Re-entering Physical Body

Finally, it is important to note that re-entry into the physical body can be difficult. After the astral journey, it is important to take the time to ground yourself and slowly re-enter the physical realm. If this process is rushed, it can cause disorientation and confusion.

Sharing Stories of People’s Experiences with Astral Travel

Sharing stories of other people’s experiences with astral travel can be a great way to gain insight into the practice. Here are some real-life examples of people’s experiences with astral projection.

Real Life Examples

One example comes from a woman named Sally who experienced astral travel while recovering from a serious illness. She described her experience as “a wonderful feeling of freedom and adventure.” She also noted that she felt a strong connection to the spiritual realm and gained insights into the nature of reality.

Challenges Encountered

Another example comes from a man named John who encountered some challenges during his astral journey. He described the experience as “intense and overwhelming” and noted that he felt scared and confused at times. Despite these challenges, he was able to gain valuable insights about himself and his life.

Lessons Learned

Finally, a woman named Jane shared her experience of astral travel. She noted that the experience taught her to trust her intuition and to be open to the unknown. She also said that the journey helped her to gain a better understanding of her life’s purpose.

Astral travel - an out of body experience

The amazing phenomenon of projection of consciousness

4 minutes of reading

Want to know how this information can affect your life?

Have you ever heard someone say that they had an experience of  dreaming that they were out of their own body , with the feeling of seeing themselves lucidly while sleeping? If this subject seemed crazy to you, know that it could be something much more common than it seems. In fact, this is a subject studied by science and goes by the name of  astral travel or astral projection .

But what is astral travel?

According to the International Institute of Projectiology and Conscientiology (IIPC), astral projection or travel is a popular term for what, technically speaking, is called consciousness projection. This phenomenon consists of an experience in which the individual has the perception of being outside his physical body.

When a person goes through an astral journey , he is still able to perceive the environment around him and even interact with other people who are also projected at that moment.

This phenomenon is studied by a specialty called projectiology, which tries to understand everything that is involved with manifestations that occur outside the biological body. According to reports by anthropologists, these trips have already been reported by different peoples over the years, with no distinction made between sex, age, religion or ethnicity.

How does astral projection work?

Projectiology explains that the individual's full consciousness (also called holosoma) is composed of 4 elements: the physical body ( soma ), the energetic body ( energosoma ), the emotional body ( psychosoma ) and the mental body ( mentalsoma ). So when astral travel takes place, there is a separation between these components.

And it's simpler than it looks. During projection, the emotional body separates from the physical body, forming an energetic connection between the two, which is called the silver cord . It is exactly this connection that keeps the physical connected to the spiritual.

Usually, people report that astral projection happens during sleep. However, it is possible to make the journey through meditation, a state of coma, in near-death experiences or even using specific techniques to achieve the goal.

Techniques for astral travel

Sometimes, it may be that the individual wants to make an astral journey voluntarily, that is, without being asleep or in any other unconscious state. In this case, a lot of preparation is needed. In addition, psychological and physiological health, determination and patience are other essential requirements.

Keeping all this in mind, it is possible to start practicing some techniques that make it possible to carry out an astral projection. But don't forget to be in a comfortable environment and, preferably, recording the whole event. See some techniques to do astral travel?

• Projective self-image: to be able to perform this type of technique, it is necessary to have a comfortable chair and a mirror. With these objects in place, the person should sit in front of the mirror and observe his own reflection very carefully. Paying attention to features and details is fundamental, and this should be done until you get sleepy. The central idea of ​​this technique is that the emotional body adapts to the image of the physical body, trying to match its image when the individual is sleeping. In this case, the achieved projection is considered conscious.
• Fragmented conscious projection: here, the emotional ends up gradually detaching itself from the biological body, so a lot of patience is needed to achieve the goal of astral travel. To perform it, the person needs to close their eyes and concentrate on individual parts of their physical body, such as hands, feet and arms. At the same time, little by little, the parts that surround the emotional body must be manifested. With this, the intention is that the individual has the perception of a second hand or arm, for example.
• Opening the door: the individual must sit in a comfortable chair inside a closed environment. The next step is to imagine a door in the wall, containing a symbol, design or inscription. From there, while meditating, the person should think of an opening in the door and imagine going through to the other side. With each new attempt, it is necessary to do the process with more intensity so that, over time, there is more freedom to project the emotional body.
• Mental concentration: to project, the person must focus their attention on a specific object, whatever it may be, always with their eyes open. It's worth a chair, a vase, a painting, a towel... The next step is to try to approach that object without moving your physical body from the place. By doing this, the person forces the emotional body until it displaces the biological body naturally.

Risks vs benefits of astral travel

At this point, you may be wondering whether astral travel is safe. According to an article published by the Institute of Projectiological and Bioenergetic Research, the practice should not be considered dangerous. That's because it's something that often happens naturally during sleep, without harming the person's day to day. However, it is worth mentioning : individuals with serious psychological problems should avoid voluntary astral projection.

On the other hand, it is possible to list some benefits that astral travel brings to people, such as:

• Serenity : the experience of experiencing a state of existence free of a physical body can bring a certain calm in relation to earthly life, since it gives life a sense of continuity and evolution.
• Fear of death : by doing astral projection and being able to detach from the physical body, the person can demystify death, that is, by realizing that he remains conscious outside the dimension of the physical plane, he becomes more optimistic about death.
• Knowledge : astral travel allows people to have a greater awareness of themselves, in addition to understanding the world more deeply. With that, many times, he starts to face the day to day in a lighter way

Astro Travel: What is It?

Astro travel is like a dream when we sleep at night we go into a dream state where we can have a few different things take place here and one of them is to actually astro travel.

Astro travel is when you are sleeping you go into another dimension like going through a portal is a good way to have you see this. So you go through this portal and you are able to connect with people who are ill, loved ones at a distance, or even travel back in time if this is what you want to do. Many of us travel and we do not even know we are doing this we just do it naturally. When we focus on this we often get in our own way and we get caught up in trying to hard and forget that we must relax and just be, in order to travel with control.

Letting go of the worry or the stress of trying this at home is what I suggest number one do not worry if you do this, relax and do this for fun do not try so hard I have people asking me all the time but how do I just connect tonight. It cannot and will not allow us to be rushed it happens when we energetically are connected and relaxed.

You can even go flying through astro traveling it is a really fun and exciting adventure. Take notes keep log of your dreams and you will see how you have already have had an experience.

From its heights, you can see the red walls of the Kremlin. But, the most impressive point of view is the platform which overlooks the Moskva river. A must see! And clearly one of the coolest things to do in Moscow!

• Open 24 hours a day
• Good to know! Park Zaryadye is also a place to visit in Moscow in winter. Find out more here: What to do in Moscow in winter?

See the Bolshoi Theatre and discover the Kuznetsky Most district

The Bolshoi Theater is the most famous Russian theater in the world.

In addition, several pedestrian or one-way streets are located north of the theater. It is therefore very pleasant to find them to leave the main axes of the megalopolis.

Visit the Moscow Kremlin

Visit Kremlin is on top of things to do in Moscow. A place of power for centuries, the Kremlin then shows us a whole different image when viewed from the inside. If you want to visit Moscow in 2 days, the Kremlin is certainly one of the must-see places in Moscow.

• Opening hours : Daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Thursday.
• See our blog post about visiting the Moscow Kremlin

Visit the Cathedral of Christ the Savior

This impressive Moscow Cathedral is the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is a must see if you visit Moscow in 2 days and clearly one of the things to do in Moscow. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior was first built in 1883 in memory of Russia’s victory over Napoleon’s Grand Army. Then in 1931 Stalin ordered its destruction. It was then rebuilt again (identically) only in 2000.

• Where? Ulitsa Volkhonka 15. At the foot of the Kropotkinskaya metro station.
• Opening hours . Daily: 10: 00-17: 00, except Monday: 13: 00-17: 00

Good to know! In orthodox religious places, one must avoid excessively uncovered clothing. Women should cover their heads. After visiting the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, you can explore Bolotny Island and Gorky Park. This is one of the routes our guide to Moscow.

The old Krasny Oktyabr factory: one of the coolest things to do in Moscow

If you cross the Moskva River by a pedestrian bridge which is located just in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the city and at the same time you can discover Balchug Island. Furthermore, if you want to visit Moscow in 2 days, you can include this island in your itinerary between the cathedral and Gorky park. Here is the old confectionery factory Krasny Oktyabr, which has gradually turned into a fashionable micro-district. There are then some elements of street art, cafes and restaurants and some Moscow bohemian side. At the end of the island you can see a gigantic 98-meter-high monument dedicated to the Russian reforming tsar Pierre The Great.

Good to know! You can find on this island are the trendiest nightclubs in Moscow. On weekends, there are taxi caps after midnight so there are so many people. On the other hand, if you go there in winter and during the day, the island is quite empty and less interesting to see.

Gorky Park is one of the TOP places to visit in Moscow, because it allows you to better understand the life of the locals and their rhythm. In fact, it’s a huge entertainment park. For example, in winter there is a giant ice rink and in summer – free dance or yoga lessons, sandy beaches for playing volleyball, an outdoor cinema. So, like the locals, have a Stakantchik (ice cream or cooked corn), and enjoy the atmosphere of the place: that’s one of the interesting things to do in Moscow to discover the city.

• Where? Krymsky Val 9. 20 minutes’ walk from Krasny Oktyabr, along the quays.

Sparrow Hill and Moscow State University

The Sparrow Hill, Vorobiovy Gori in Russian, is the highest point in Moscow. It is rather known to Russians, but less to travelers. A nice view on Moscow opens from the hill, and in particular on the Luzhniki Stadium. In addition, on the hill itself is the Moscow State University: an impressive skyscraper from the Soviet era.

• How to get there? By bus T7 (35 min) from Oktyaborskaya station, near Gorki Park. By metro (Vorobiovy Gorki station) + climb the hill on foot. On foot along the Moskva along the Gorky Park (1h30) + climb in funiculars.

Good to know! It is possible to cross the Moskva river by funicular. We actually tested it and it was pretty cool! That is one of our favorite things to do in Moscow!

What to do in Moscow in 3 days?

If you are going to visit Moscow in 3 days, it would be interesting to dive into the Soviet era which strongly marked the country and the city. After the Bolshevik Revolution, the capital was transferred from Saint Petersburg to Moscow, in order to mark the change of power. Moscow then became the world showcase for communist ideology. Here are the best things to do in Moscow for 3-day-trip!

VDNKh, visit Moscow of the Soviet era

VDNKh is a large exhibition center in the north of Moscow, where there are still several striking witnesses of the USSR. The most interesting are the Museum of Cosmonauts and the Statue of the Worker and the Kolkhozian , which will certainly impress you with its size!

GULAG History Museum

The explanations of the museum are very well done. We really have the feeling of going back in time. If you are going to visit Moscow in 3 days and you are interested in history and this subject in particular, I recommend this museum. Visit the GULAG History Museum is one of the most interesting things to do in Moscow.

Discover the Patriarche Pounds district

It’s a nice neighborhood in Moscow where you can come across rather affluent locals, but not necessarily very bling-bling. Take a walk in this area is really a cool thing to do in Moscow! In addition, the Ponds of Patriarch is one of the places of Bulgakov’s novel “Master and Margarita”. As this is an interesting area to see, we have included it in a walking tour of Moscow. The route ends at the Moscow Kremlin, which is very convenient, because you will be able to visit Moscow in 3 days by optimizing your trips.

What to visit in Moscow in 4 days: TOP things to do in Moscow in 4 days

If you want to visit Moscow in 3 days, you will already see a lot of things. On the other hand, if you stay one more day, you have plenty to do! The Novodevichy Convent, the Tchistie Proudy district and the Izmaylovo Kremlin are very good candidates for you, if you are going to visit Moscow in 4 days.

Visiting Novodevichy Convent in Moscow

The Novodevichy Convent is one of the most brilliant examples of Russian architecture, according to UNESCO. This beautiful complex was built in 1524 and today consists of the convent, but also of a cemetery whose status could be compared to that of Père-Lachaise in Paris. Visiting Novodevichy Convent is one of the great things to do in Moscow, if you want to go a little bit outside of the center!

Discovering Tchistye Proudy district

It’s one of the most popular areas of Moscow, with many cafes, restaurants and bars nearby. It is therefore a place to discover if you want to visit Moscow in 4 days. It is just as pleasant for a stroll as for the discovery of local life. For example, in winter the pond turns into an ice rink.

Visiting the Izmaylovo Kremlin, one of the coolest things to do in Moscow!

The Izmaylovo Kremlin is more of a tourist than a historic place. On the other hand, it is a pretty impressive place to discover, especially on weekends. Inside the Kremlin, there is a flea market where you can find a little bit of everything, but mostly good souvenirs to bring from Moscow. For example, chapka, traditional Russian scarves or matryoshka (Russian dolls). Add the Kremlin and the Izmaïlovo market to your itinerary if you are going to visit Moscow in 4 days, because it is a nice and very colorful place! Visiting the Izmailovo Kremlin is one of the things to do in Moscow, if you want to put colors in your Instagram account! 😉

In 4 days, we will have the opportunity to see several Moscow: Classic Moscow, Moscow of old Russia, Soviet Moscow and a little bit of the new Moscow. So what to visit in Moscow on the 5th day of travel?

What to visit in Moscow in 5 days?

Art lovers will be delighted to discover the Tretyakov Gallery and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, while others will prefer to stroll along Arbat Street, see the buildings of Moskva-City or visit Bunker 42.

Admiring Russian art at Tretyakov Gallery

Founded in 1856 by an industrialist and great lover of art, the gallery has grown over the decades, and then bequeathed to the state. Today the collection includes more than 140,000 pieces, 15,000 of which are paintings. Visiting the Tretyakov Gallery is one of the things to do in Moscow if you want to discover Russian art!

• Where? Pereoulok Lavrouchinski 10. A 5-minute walk from Tretiakovskaya station
• Opening hours. Open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Closed on Mondays.
• Entry tickets. 500 RUB.

Visiting the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts presents the treasures of ancient Egypt, the paintings of Rembrandt and Cézanne, a fine collection of Impressionism.

• Where? Ulitsa Volkhonka 12
• Opening hours. Daily: 10: 00-20: 00, except Thursday: 11: 00-21: 00. Closed on Mondays. The boxes close an hour before closing.
• Entry tickets. The prices vary according to the collections from 300 to 750 RUB.

Walking on Arbat Street

All Russians know Rue Arbat. So, walking on Arbat street is one of the things to do in Moscow. However, after the years, little by little it became very touristy. This is a pedestrian street only. There are souvenir shops, restaurants and cafes there, but it is no longer the most authentic neighborhood in the city.

Seeing the buildings of Moskva-City (Moscow City)

Moskva-City is Moscow’s business center, much like Paris’s Defense district. The skyscrapers of Moskva-City are among the tallest in Europe: 373 meters high! Very nice place to see at dusk.

Good to know! You can admire a nice view of Moscow City from the docks of Tarasa Shevchenko. It’s especially beautiful in the evening with all the lights on.

Bunker 42, one of the most unusual things to do in Moscow

Bunker 42 is a secret military complex which was to be used by the Soviets in the event of a nuclear attack: a space of 7000 m² 65 meters underground!

• Where? 5 Kotelnitcheski Lane, 11.
• Prices. 2200 RUB per person
• Opening hours. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Restaurant inside. Original, but rather a tourist trap.

What to visit in Moscow in 6 days or more?

There are still so many places to see, because Moscow is a big megalopolis and there is always something exciting to do there. For example: the ancient Kolomenskoye village or the WINZAVOD contemporary art center .

If you are interested in history and want to see Russian cities on a rather “human scale”, it would certainly be interesting for you to discover the cities of the Golden Ring . For example, it is very easy to get to Sergey Posad from Moscow (less than 2 hours in train). Visiting the Golden Ring is one of the best things to do in Moscow if you are staying more than a 5-6 days.

There are still plenty of places to see in Moscow, however I did my best to list here the best things to do in Moscow, what to see in Moscow in one day, but also in 2, 3, 4 or 5 days in Moscow!

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

Gladys Parker

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

What is Electional Astrology?

Just like a natal chart can offer information about the personality of a person, there are natal charts for events, e.g. starting a business, weddings, contracts, travel, etc. From an astrological perspective the signing of a contract is simply the moment when the business stated in the contract is born. The quality of time of this moment will unfold as the object of the contract develops.

Electional Astrology, however, not only examines an existing natal chart, but looks for the astrologically appropriate moment for a particular intention. In "The Best Time", a horoscope is calculated for each hour in the selected period. These horoscopes are evaluated and weighted according to the astrological rules for this question and including the selected birth dates. Afterwards, all calculated horoscopes are displayed graphically in a timeline, so that you can choose the best time for your project.

More about the subscription

Astrology, not Magic

Personal talent, willpower, diligence and stamina, etc. are just as important for a successful outcome of an undertaking as good astrological timing. The Electional Horoscope can support you in your endeavor by giving you the best times for your actions. But, please, always keep in mind reality and the actual circumstances with this kind of astrology!
