What the Mercury DC line means
On your Mercury DC line the planet Mercury was setting on the western horizon at your birth. Astrocartographers read this as Mercury's themes of communication, learning and trade becoming especially strong in the area of partners, relationships and the people you attract. The effect is said to be strongest within roughly 150 miles (250 km) of the line and fades with distance.
Places on this line are traditionally good for deals, collaborations, intellectual connection. The shadow side to keep in mind is relationships that stay in the head. Many astrologers suggest visiting before moving: notice how you feel and what happens to you there.
