Astrology written by human astrologers
CHANI is an astrology app made by human astrologers, and it is explicit that the content does not come from AI. It pairs daily horoscopes, birth chart readings, and transit tracking with mindfulness tools such as guided meditations, rituals, and courses, with the aim of making astrology accessible and useful in daily life. The iOS app is free to download and available in English only.
Each day: horoscope, meditation, and live Moon readings
The daily horoscope explains how the day's astrology is likely to land for you, with tips on working with it. A guided meditation is highlighted each day to match that day's astrological energy, and real-time lunar readings update as the Moon moves.
Each week: forecast, podcast, and your own reading
The astroweather forecast and the Astrology of the Week Ahead podcast cover how upcoming astrology plays out collectively and on the world stage. The weekly reading is personal, looking at how the week's events may show up in your own life and how to make the most of them. Around New Moons, Full Moons, retrogrades, and eclipses, the app adds weekly rituals, tarot cards, personalized journal prompts, and audio.
The birth chart as a blueprint
CHANI frames the birth chart as the blueprint of your purpose. It shows where each planet and point sits in your chart and how their positions and relationships play out in your life, followed by detailed insights into the gifts and challenges of your natal placements.
Transits: where the planets are now
Planetary horoscopes track which sign each planet is in, whether it is retrograde, and what that means for you. Personalized transit readings go further, showing how the planets are interacting with your birth chart right now, the kind of material expert astrologers work from.
Meditation library and the Saturn Return course
A full library of guided meditations, affirmations, frequencies, and sleep stories is there for grounding, decompressing, and dreaming. Courses include a 7-part Saturn Return course and the 28-day Breakthrough course.
The year ahead, month by month
Yearly content includes personalized month-by-month readings, a zoomed-out overview of the year's astrology, annual horoscopes for four main areas of life, and rituals, journal prompts, altar suggestions, and guided meditations for each of the year's main themes.
An anti-AI company without VC funding
CHANI describes itself as a queer, feminist-led company that is anti-AI and not VC-funded. It gives 5% of all revenue directly to survivors of gender-based violence through FreeFrom, more than $3.5 million to date.
