STAR/CHILD is the only astrology app just for parenting. It’s a complete parenting playbook based on your unique astrological chart and the charts of your whole family. Here’s what you get to work with: * Ultra-detailed relationship breakdowns that unpack what astrology says about your relationship with your kids and co-parents (and how they vibe with each other too) * Full birth charts for everyone in your family along with an extensive and highly specific analysis of what each of your placements has to say about your parenting style — and what your kids’ charts have to say about what exactly they’re likely to need most from you in order to thrive. * Daily horoscopes for you and each of your kids that take everything happening up in the sky and translate it into the essential things you need to know to make the most of your parenting life on any given day. * Daily audio readings to give you the essential rundown of the day: what's the vibe, what to expect, and how to make the most of it. * Weekly audio astrology previews to take you deep into the coming week's astrology and what it means for life with kids (and life in general). * Whole Sky horoscopes to show you where every planet, luminary, and node are in the sky on any given day: what sign they're in, what house they're in for you specifically, and what you need to know about each transit. * Downloadable guides that go in deep (we mean super deep) on what your Sun, Rising, and Moon signs say about your parenting superpowers, how you emotionally process things, what parts of life with kids might be challenging for you, and how to deal with all of it. Your family isn’t like anyone else’s. This is your super-detailed guidebook to life with your weird little crew, specifically. Just as they are, just as you are, explained by the astrology of the moment you were born, and every moment you’re living in now.
