Canopy vs SideQuest

For more than a thousand years, astrologers from Baghdad to Cordoba read the sky with a rigor that almost no modern app attempts. Canopy brings that tradition to your phone: Ancient Arabian Astrology, calculated properly and kept as a calm daily practice, not a daily prediction. No horoscope hype. iPhone Duo Ready WHAT YOU GET • A 16-section daily reading • A 14-section Natal Fingerprint of your birth chart, rising sign and Moon sign • A timing engine: electional astrology for your plans • Home screen widgets for planetary hours and the lunar mansion YOUR DAY, HOUR BY HOUR Open Canopy in the morning and two things come first: which of the planetary hours (sā'āt al-kawākib) is ruling right now, and which lunar mansion (manzil) the Moon has entered. These are not ornaments but the working instruments of a tradition codified by al-Bīrūnī in the eleventh century. You get the full day and night schedule, the day lord and hour lord, the Moon's condition (void of course, via combusta, afflictions), and what the classical sources hold fit or unfit for the hour. YOUR BIRTH CHART, IN THE CLASSICAL METHOD Your natal chart is cast with traditional technique, not modern shorthand: whole-sign houses, the seven visible planets, essential and accidental dignity, sect, temperament, twelfth-parts, the lunar nodes, and the Arabic Lots (sihām). Every placement opens into a reading of its own. ELECTIONAL TIMING (AL-IKHTIYĀRĀT) Court astrologers were asked one question more than any other: when should this be done? Al-ikhtiyārāt — electional astrology, unbroken since the ninth century — answers it. Canopy scans a date range for windows that suit your intention: a contract, a journey, a conversation, a beginning. Or bring a time you already have in mind and see how it scores. TALISMANIC TIMING The fixed stars held a particular place in this tradition. Canopy watches for moments when a significant star rises or culminates, working from Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm (the Picatrix), the star catalog of 'Abd al-Raḥmān al-Ṣūfī. Each planet and star carries the correspondences, sigils, magic squares, and angelic attributions the texts assign to it. THE 28 LUNAR MANSIONS (MANĀZIL AL-QAMAR) The manāzil al-qamar — the twenty-eight stations the Moon passes through in a month — form one of the oldest sky-watching systems in the Arabian world. Canopy carries the full catalog with daily guidance, marking which mansions the sources count as sa'd (fortunate) and which call for caution. FIXED STARS Thirty-five stars of the classical catalog, fifteen of them the Behenian stars of the talismanic tradition, each under its Arabic name — Regulus (Qalb al-Asad), Antares (Qalb al-'Aqrab), Aldebaran (al-Dabarān), Algol (Ra's al-Ghūl), Spica (al-Simāk al-A'zal), Canopus (Suhayl), and more — measured against your natal chart and against today's sky. TRANSITS Watch the planets move through your natal houses in real time. Canopy shows you not only what is happening overhead, but what the tradition makes of it for your chart. Canopy is traditional astrology built on the Ancient Arabian corpus, and it shows its work: readings drawn from classical sources, terms given in Arabic, calculations you can check.
