Luna is a manifestation app that runs on real astrology. Speak your dream out loud, see yourself living it on a vision board, and let Luna plan each step for the day the moon and planets support it. MANIFEST YOUR DREAM - OUT LOUD - Speak your dream to Luna, your AI guide, the way you'd tell a best friend. Luna asks for the details that make it real. - Add a few photos and Luna paints you into your own vision board and a short film of your dream coming true. - Save your board as your Lock Screen wallpaper in one tap. AFFIRMATIONS WRITTEN FROM YOUR DREAM - Affirmations that use your dream's own places, people and work, not generic quotes. - Moonling, a little moon companion on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, says them all day. - It only nudges you when it matters: your daily glow is waiting, or a New or Full Moon is close. A PLAN TIMED TO THE MOON - Luna turns your dream into a few small steps across health, spirit, relationships, money, purpose and lifestyle. - Each step is set on a day that suits it: launches under a waxing moon, letting go under a waning one, and big sends after Mercury retrograde ends. - Miss a day? Luna moves the step to its next best day in the sky and shows you why. MAKE IT A HABIT YOU LOVE - Earn aura every time you open Luna, finish a step or cheer on a friend. Points count double on New and Full Moons. - Level up from Ember to Divine, keep your glow streak going, and race your friends toward your dreams each week. - Gentle, well-timed reminders by notification or by text. You choose one, two or three a day. YOUR BIRTH CHART, COMPUTED - NOT GUESSED - Western astrology: Sun, Moon, Rising and every planet, with signs, houses, degrees and aspects on an interactive natal chart. - Vedic astrology (Lagna, Rashi, Nakshatra), Chinese astrology and your numerology Life Path Number. - A daily horoscope written for your full chart, not just your Sun sign, plus today's transits and moon phase. - Your chart is calculated with a real astronomical ephemeris from your exact birth date, time and place. FRIENDS & COMPATIBILITY - Compare full charts with friends, family or a crush: compatibility for love, communication and energy. - Share your dreams with close friends and cheer each other on. Send moonlight when someone needs it. BODY & MOON — WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH (OPTIONAL) - Luna reads your sleep, steps and heart rate to tune your daily reading and check-ins to your body. - Private by design: your health data stays on your iPhone. The only exception is if you choose to share daily steps and sleep with friends for walk challenges. Health data is never used for ads. MOON PRO - All seven narrated chart films to download and share, your dreams in motion, your full daily read, Romantic Connection and team readings, Love Spell rituals and unlimited text chat with Luna. Your dream is closer than you think. Speak it to Luna tonight. Terms of Use: https://www.mothermoon.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.mothermoon.ai/privacy
