Career
He is best known for pioneering the technique of Astrocartography. Locational astrology is an old concept, but Lewis expanded a little-known field, using detailed maps and modern software. In 1979, Lewis published his first edition of his annual Sourcebook of Mundane Maps.
His theories were subsequently developed by other authors.
Lewis eventually trademarked the term ® (A*C*G). This registration is still maintained by the Living Trust.
A non-profit division of the Trust - Continuum - the Jim Slayden Lewis Foundation - lists over 20 book titles including those by Lewis that are either devoted to or where the technique features extensively. Lewis regularly conducted seminars in which he trained students in techniques.
He later went on to administer a certification examination
Candidates who passed his stringent qualifications were given a certificate as a professional Astro*Carto*Grapher. As of February 2008, Continuum list 88 certified practitioners around the world. Lewis lectured throughout the world.
However, in his travels he was not immune to the negative potential on A*C*G’s ‘planetary power lines’.
In the mid ‘80s he was struck by a vehicle while crossing Military Road, in Sydney, Australia on his Mars Ascending line.).
