The CHANI app combines ancient astrological wisdom with mindfulness and meditation, and offers the most detailed birth chart explanations available. But it also includes personalized horoscopes based on the movements of the planets, real-time updates on how the current astrology is affecting you, tailored astro offerings to help you work with the astrology of the moment, a library of meditations and affirmations for daily use, a live journal where you can set intentions and track your growth with each New and Full Moon, and so much more.
Our app is rooted in traditional Western astrology, and we use the Whole Sign House System, which divides the 12 houses — or spheres of life — equally into each zodiac sign, starting with your rising sign. Because of this, we intentionally provide you with rising sign content, as it’s your rising sign that determines the areas of your life that the current astrology is impacting. Since the astrological houses are what give us insight into how the current astrology is showing up in your life, the rising sign becomes primary, with the Sun secondary and the Moon tertiary.
Please note that because astrology changes minute to minute, the CHANI app has to pull in new information to display and refresh, which requires a consistent internet connection in order for the content to load. To get the best performance and experience, we recommend having WiFi or cellular data turned on on your mobile device and enabling automatic app updates.
The CHANI app is available on both Android and iOS devices. You will also need to have iOS 14.2 or later installed on your device in order to run the CHANI app on your iOS device or Android 9 or later to run it on your Android device.
Read on to learn about the Free and Premium content on the app.
The CHANI app is divided into four tabs:

Home tab
When you open your CHANI app, you will be met with an expanded homepage view that’s divided into three distinct sections: Today, This Week, and This Year. These sections make it easy to navigate your personalized astrology guidance.
There is both free and Premium content in all three sections.
