Questions people actually ask
Including the awkward ones. If something here reads like a dodge, tell us and we’ll rewrite it.
Readings
What do I need for an accurate reading?
Your birth date, birth place, and — ideally — birth time. Date and place alone give a solid chart; an exact time unlocks your Rising sign, houses, and the most personal layers of interpretation.
What if I don’t know my birth time?
You’ll still get a meaningful reading. We calculate a chart using solar houses and clearly mark which insights depend on birth time. Many people later find their time on a birth certificate — your chart updates instantly when you add it.
How is this different from a magazine horoscope?
Sun-sign horoscopes describe one of twelve groups. Your reading is computed from your full chart — the exact positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets at your birth moment and place — which is effectively unique to you.
Accuracy
Is astrology scientifically proven?
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We treat astrology as a reflective framework — a structured language for self-inquiry that many people find genuinely useful. We never offer medical, legal, or financial advice, and we say so plainly.
Which astrological system do you use?
Western tropical astrology with Placidus houses by default, drawing on both traditional and modern interpretation. Advanced settings let you switch house systems, and our astrologers note their methods on their profiles.
Payments
Is there a subscription I might forget about?
Only if you explicitly choose the Celestial Membership — and it’s cancellable in two clicks from your dashboard, effective immediately, no retention tricks. One-time reports are exactly that: one payment.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If a report misses the mark, tell us within 14 days and we’ll refund it. Live consultations can be rescheduled up to 12 hours before they start, and are refunded in full if an astrologer cancels.
Privacy
What happens to my birth data?
It’s encrypted, used only to calculate your chart, and never sold or shared. You can export or permanently delete everything from your settings at any time — deletion is immediate and irreversible.
Will you email me constantly?
No. You choose exactly what arrives: daily guidance, weekly forecasts, or nothing but receipts. Every email has a working one-click unsubscribe.
Consultations
How do live sessions work?
Pick an astrologer, choose a time, and meet by video, voice, or chat — your choice. Sessions are 45 minutes, include a written summary, and you can share your Laninest chart with one click.
We haven’t opened a support inbox yet.
Rather than publish an address that nobody is watching, here are the two things that actually help right now: start a free chart and see whether the writing lands, or book time with an astrologer who can answer in person.
