Does your Sun IC line reach Marrakesh?
Three things, and the reading is yours. No account, no email, nothing kept.
How a Imum Coeli line behaves at Marrakesh’s latitude
An underfoot line is a meridian, and it is the exact counterweight of an overhead one: the two are always 180° of longitude apart. The planet was at its lowest point at the instant you were born — beneath your feet, on the far side of the earth — and the line marking that runs pole to pole down Marrakesh's 8.0°W. Half a world away, at 172.0°E, the same planet was standing directly overhead, and its overhead line runs down that meridian instead. The pair always arrive together. Because it is a meridian, it does not stop at a city limit: it also passes within a degree and a half of longitude of Casablanca, Porto, Lisbon — places that may be thousands of kilometres from Marrakesh but sit on nearly the same line of longitude.
Where Marrakesh sits
Marrakesh is at 31.63°N, 8.0°W in Morocco — in the subtropics, where the year has a real shape to it but the light never becomes scarce. At the summer solstice it gets about 14 hours 4 minutes of daylight and at the winter solstice about 9 hours 56 minutes, which is the same horizon geometry a rising line is drawn from.
How close it would have to run
Distances here are measured as real ground: one degree of orb is 111 km, the same width everywhere on earth. That matters at Marrakesh, because a degree of longitude here is only about 95 km — 15% narrower. Older software that measures overhead lines in longitude will therefore report a wider figure than we do for the same city. Neither is wrong; ours describes a distance you could actually walk.
Measured against the places around it
Distances from Marrakesh to its neighbours, so you can judge what an orb of one or two degrees actually covers on this part of the map:
| Place | Distance | In orb degrees |
|---|---|---|
| Casablanca · Morocco | 219 km | 1.97° |
| Lisbon · Portugal | 796 km | 7.15° |
| Las Palmas · Spain | 817 km | 7.34° |
| Madrid · Spain | 1,050 km | 9.43° |
| Porto · Portugal | 1,060 km | 9.52° |
| Barcelona · Spain | 1,412 km | 12.69° |
What Sun does to a line
The ten bodies are not interchangeable. How fast one moves decides how personal its line is — and that changes how much weight this page deserves.
Speed, and what it means for you
Sun takes one year to return to the same place against the stars, and its lines shift by roughly a degree — about 111 km on the ground — every about four minutes of birth time.
💡 A line that is genuinely yours
This is one of the most personal lines in your chart. The body moves fast enough that a sibling born the same day has it somewhere quite different, so where it falls is genuinely yours rather than your generation’s.
How its lines sit on the map
The Sun never strays from the ecliptic, so it stays within 23.4° of the celestial equator and its lines reach every inhabited latitude. It moves about a degree a day against the stars, but its lines shift with the earth’s rotation — four minutes of birth time moves them roughly a hundred kilometres, the same as everything else.
Where else this meridian lands
A meridian line ignores distance. These sit within a degree and a half of Marrakesh’s longitude, so the same Sun IC line passes close to them too:
- Casablanca — Morocco, 219 km away
- Porto — Portugal, 1,060 km away
- Lisbon — Portugal, 796 km away
What this line is good for
The same line serves some intentions and works against others. This is computed from the archetype rather than chosen page by page, so it agrees with how the app ranks cities.

Questions about Sun IC in Marrakesh
What does a Sun IC line mean in Marrakesh?
The Sun on the IC turns attention inward, toward home, roots, and the private base rather than the public record. In Marrakesh that meets the local pace and cost of living — the line itself does not change, but how loudly you feel it does.
How long is it worth staying in Marrakesh on a Sun IC line?
Around a year or more is a gentle ceiling. Keep one outward-facing commitment on the calendar each week.
Does my Sun IC line actually reach Marrakesh?
Only your own sky can answer that. Enter your birth details on this page and we will measure the real distance from Marrakesh to your Sun IC line, in kilometres and in orb degrees.
Why does a Sun IC line run through a single longitude?
Because an underfoot line is a meridian. The planet was directly underfoot at one longitude at the instant you were born, and that longitude runs from pole to pole. It exists at every latitude, so it either reaches Marrakesh at 8.0°W or it does not — latitude never rules it out.
Is a Sun IC line personal, or does everyone my age have it?
This is one of the most personal lines in your chart. The body moves fast enough that a sibling born the same day has it somewhere quite different, so where it falls is genuinely yours rather than your generation’s. Sun takes one year to go round, and its lines shift about a degree — some 111 km — every about four minutes of birth time.
Which places near Marrakesh would this line also reach?
Nothing in the gazetteer sits within a degree of orb of Marrakesh, so a line that misses here misses on its own. The nearest place to compare against is Casablanca, 219 km away.
