These Astrology Apps Will Bring You Insights Directly From the Stars

Whether you're looking for daily horoscopes or insights about your birth chart, there's an astrology app for you. Like astrology books, some apps are educational tools, offering a plethora of information about the stars. Others provide the astrological checks-in that complement your monthly horoscopes. There are free options for those just starting out and advanced offerings for people who probably own at least a few zodiac-themed gifts.

Below, we've gathered some of the best. For empowering insights that sound like they're coming from an older sister or trusted friend, head to astrologer Chani Nicholas's app. The Pattern provides uncanny write-ups about your personality, without any astrological jargon. Moon Calendar makes it easy to track—you guessed it—the moon's cycles, and incorporate the practice of "moon mapping" (or living in accordance with the moon's phases) into your daily routine, if that's your thing.

These apps bring the sky down to earth, and make astrological lessons accessible. You'll want to turn on those notifications so you don't miss a single (supposedly accurate) message from the stars.
