Is there an astrology app in your future? If so, start with these celestial guides to all this world has to offer.
1. Moonly
With Moonly, healing is a daily practice that ebbs and flows alongside the lunar calendar. The app helps you cultivate rituals with a robust guide of the changing moon phases, affirmations, daily tarot, and more.
Special stardust: Draw a daily tarot card or rune by touching and holding the screen. Learn about the symbolism by tapping the card that appears, and use it to help set an intention for your day.
Stellar feature: Tap into soothing soundscapes with Moonly’s in-app radio. The meditative sounds serve as the perfect soundtrack if you’re cultivating a moment of calm, creativity, or focus.
2. Chani
The namesake app of astrologer and best-selling author Chani Nicholas features interactive workshops to deepen your understanding of your birth chart.
Special stardust: There’s more to Chani than (really comprehensive) horoscopes. Current sky readings and weekly podcasts are tailored for rising signs rather than sun signs, and guided meditations and journal prompts are designed to lead you to a more centered, mindful life.
Stellar feature: With a single emoji, the Astroweather 7-Day Forecast’s Current Collective Mood gives you a sense of how others might be feeling based on the shifting of the cosmos.
3. The Pattern
The Pattern delivers detailed breakdowns of your personality traits and emotional cycles—past, present, and future.
Special stardust: Readings go into depth not only about you but also loved ones and humanity at large. World Timing information predicts platonic and romantic connections, providing insight into shared experiences and interpersonal dynamics.
Stellar feature: Seeking a match made in the heavens? The Connect dating feature shows members of the The Pattern community you might be interested in, according to the stars.
4. Co–Star
This hugely popular app delivers succinct daily guidance specific to different areas of your life (think love, creativity, spirituality) as well as overarching advice on navigating planetary transits.
Special stardust: Co–Star lets you stay up-to-date with friends and romantic partners who also have profiles on the app. Glimpse your mutual daily horoscope and composite chart, and see how planetary placements are affecting your collective ebb and flow.
Stellar feature: Send your future self a note by tapping Chaos Mode on the bottom of the Chart tab. Co–Star will bubble it up to you at some point in the future. (Trust that it’ll find you right when you need it.)
5. Sanctuary
Offering cosmic guidance with a decidedly human touch, Sanctuary’s daily horoscopes and emoji-rich guides make the sometimes arcane world of astrology more accessible.
Special stardust: Sanctuary is your astrology messaging pal: Daily horoscope and tarot cards are delivered in a fun chat format. (Live chats with a real-life astrologer are also available.)
Stellar feature: The app’s Guides provide a crash course on planets, signs, moon phases, aspects, houses, and more—all delivered tidbits at a time.
