Six ways to read yourself in one app: saju from your birth date and time, face reading from one selfie, last night's dream, tarot, a birth chart and a personality type test. [Your chart, down to its structure] • Five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, water in balance • Strength reading — what overflows, what runs short • Yongshin — the element traditionally used to balance a saju chart • Chart structure — the shape of what you were given [FACE READING — your face, read the old way] Take one selfie or pick a photo. Constella finds the forehead, eyes, nose, mouth and chin and reads them feature by feature, the way traditional Korean face reading does: the three zones of the face, the five features, and the element your face carries. See how that element meets your saju, compare the elements of two faces, and find your lookalike animal on its own page. The photo is analyzed on your iPhone and never uploaded. [DREAM MEANING — last night's dream, three ways] Speak or type a dream before it fades. It is read through three lenses: Korean dream lore (haemong), dream psychology and Jung. Look up 145 dream symbols, see the patterns across your journal, and follow what a dream points at into your saju readings. Days with a dream get a moon on your calendar. [Today's drift] One card a day, sitting on the day pillar of the moment. The week's flow shows at a glance on the home screen, and the calendar keeps each day's reading and dreams. [Eight domains, waiting] • Career & wealth — work and venture • Love & romance — partners and connections • Relationships & family — the people close to you • Health & condition — what the body signals • Self-growth & inner life — knowing yourself • Study & focus — exams and learning • Mental health & emotion — keeping balance • Travel, movement & moves — direction and timing [Two charts together] Open Compatibility to lay a friend's or partner's chart beside your own. Open Find a Match to see nearby charts whose patterns echo yours. [The longer arc] • Life arc — early, middle, later years, and the broad currents you carry • New Year reading — the year's wider arc, with next year's reading arriving in December [Tarot, stars and type] Tarot spreads for love, money and choices. Your birth chart against today's sky. An 8-question personality type test, read beside your saju. Card packs restyle all 119 cards — tarot, zodiac, type and face cards — in one art theme. [How it's built] • Saju, face and dream readings are worked out on your iPhone. No photo, dream text or audio is uploaded. If you opt into Find a Match, matching profile data is shared through CloudKit. • No ads and no subscription. Full readings open with tickets, and tickets never expire. • Five languages — Korean, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese. This app is a tool for self-reflection and entertainment. It is not a basis for medical, legal, or financial decisions.

The Luck Guide is the astrology app that tells you what to do, when, and why — computed from your exact birth chart, on your device, from the real positions of the planets. Nothing here is randomly generated. Every word you read is calculated from live orbital data and your natal chart — accurate to a hundredth of a degree, using the same NASA/JPL-derived planetary data professional astrologers rely on. This is astrology the way it was originally practiced: a technical craft of measurement and timing, grounded in the classical tradition and rigorously computed. FORECASTS KEYED TO YOUR ACTUAL CHART Your daily, fortnightly, three-month, and yearly readings aren't written for a sign — they're computed for you, and they name the real machinery of your moment: • The exact transits crossing your chart, read by the house they fall in • Your time-lord chapters (zodiacal releasing) and annual profections, anchored to your real solar return • Solar and lunar returns, secondary progressions, eclipses that strike your natal points, and fixed-star contacts When several independent techniques point to the same theme at once, the app tells you — two agreeing is meaningful, three is loud, four is once in a lifetime. Every reading is written by hand — thousands of authored passages, chosen by your chart's exact geometry and phrased in plain language rather than technical jargon. The four cadences are threaded together, so the shape of your year and the detail of your day tell one continuous story, each development covered once, at the scale where it matters. A LIVE MAP OF THE SKY ABOVE YOU Rendered in real time for your exact location: • The sky shifts color through the day with the Sun's true altitude — deep blue by day, violet at sunrise and sunset, black at night — quietly tracking the real sky outside your window. • Every planet sits at its true altitude and azimuth, with real rise, set, and culmination times, and the planetary hour you're in right now. • Hold your phone up and point it at the sky, and the dome follows — what's on screen matches what's really in front of you: the planets, the constellations, what's above the horizon and what's below. FEATURES • Personalized daily, fortnightly, monthly & yearly horoscopes • Full natal birth chart with a reading that explains itself • Hour-by-hour timing guide for when to act • Birth-chart compatibility (synastry) for the people in your life • A live, location-accurate sky map with sunrise, sunset & planetary hours • Ask questions about your chart, answered on-device — with reasoning, not a one-line verdict • Classical tools: fixed stars, lots, profections, returns, and more PRIVATE BY DESIGN The Luck Guide has no backend and no account. Your birth details and chart never leave your phone, are never sold, and are never shared — even the AI runs entirely on-device. No servers. No ads. Usage analytics are anonymous. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Available in 20 languages, translated on device using Apple's built-in machine translation — so your learning reads naturally in your own language while your data stays private on your phone.
