What's the difference between Natal and Premium?
Natal is the daily brief: each morning, the moments in that day's sky that touch your own chart, with the minute each one goes exact. Premium is that plus two more documents from the same chart — a weekly report every Sunday for the week ahead, and a monthly that names the slow transits arcing across it. Each gives you the shape of the window, its dated peaks, what to lean into and what to watch for. Natal is $9 a month billed yearly ($108), or $12 month to month. Premium is $15 a month billed yearly ($180), or $20 month to month. Neither report will ever count your aspects for you — days are ranked by how slow the planet is and how hard the aspect, and a tally is a number that sounds like information and isn't.
What happens when a free week ends?
The email keeps arriving. Nothing is cancelled and nothing is charged — there's no card on file and no subscription to renew. What changes is which email lands. When the natal week ends, a short daily sign note takes the brief's place: real astronomy, still free, but written for your sun sign rather than computed from your chart — exactly the difference the comparison above shows. When a premium week ends, the weekly and monthly reports stop and you keep whatever you already had. Your archive stays readable throughout, and one click in any email stops the lot for good.
Do I need a card for either free week?
No. The natal week at signup and the separate premium week inside the app are both cardless, and neither turns into a charge. If you choose a paid plan, Stripe asks for a card then. If that tier's free week is still unused, checkout shows a seven-day trial with the exact date and amount that will be charged unless you cancel first; otherwise it shows the amount due today. Each tier's free week is available once per reader.
I don't know my birth time.
Sign up anyway. Your seven mornings start either way, computed from your real chart. What the hour buys is the Ascendant, the Midheaven and the houses, which move about a degree every four minutes — so without it we leave those out rather than assume noon and call the result your chart. Everything in your briefs is true at every hour you could have been born. Add the time in settings when you find it and they sharpen automatically, no re-signup. Filling in a blank is free and instant; correcting a time you already entered is once a month, because a correction re-renders every brief built on the old chart. The weekly and monthly reports work the same way at the same price: full length, with the parts the hour decides left out rather than guessed. Long-form birth certificates usually carry the time, and so do most US state vital-records offices.
Do I have to believe in astrology for this to be worth paying for?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Where the planets are is astronomy — the positions, and the minute an aspect goes exact, are facts you can check against any ephemeris. What they mean is interpretation, and every brief says so at the bottom. Plenty of readers treat it the way they'd treat a good column: a prompt to think about the day, arriving before the day starts.
Why cut at three degrees?
Because a tight aspect is an event with a time attached and a wide one is wallpaper. Three degrees is stricter than most traditions use, and it's an editorial choice rather than a law of astrology: we'd rather send you three things that are genuinely happening than twelve that are technically true. You'll also never see a decimal orb in a brief — no tradition resolves meaning below about a degree, so a number like 2.4° would be false precision dressed up as authority.
What happens when I travel, or move?
Change your delivery hour and timezone in settings, whenever you like. Your birth data stays as it was — that's fixed by the moment you were born, not by where you live now.
What do you do with my birth data?
We compute your chart with it. That's the whole list. It's never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never handed to anyone else — including whoever gifts you a subscription, who is never asked for it and never shown it. Delete your account from settings and the birth data goes with it.
How do I stop?
Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe that needs no login. Want a break instead? Settings has a pause — delivery stops, your archive stays. A paid subscription is managed in Stripe from your settings page: cancel any time and keep paid access through the end of the period you've already paid for.
