✧･ﾟ: * the other half of the sky * :･ﾟ✧
セ レ ニ ア
a natal chart that knows where the stars really are ♥︎
the app's centrepiece is a glowing 3D sphere of your chart, drawn over the real star field. this is the pocket version: it opens on the sky of right now, but enter your birthday and it becomes your birth sky: sun, moon and every planet at their true places on the ecliptic, aspects and all, computed live in your browser with the same kind of math the app uses.
drag to orbit · no birth time? noon is assumed (the moon may drift a few degrees) · no birthplace needed, the planets look the same from everywhere on earth; your birthplace is what unlocks the rising sign & houses, which the app computes properly ♥︎
♡ your birth date never leaves this page · everything is computed in your browser, nothing is sent, saved, or remembered ♡
astrelia's sister app: the astrology one. it casts charts the honest way, on the same real astronomical engine that runs the planetarium: sun, moon and planets from proper ephemeris math, houses solved for your actual birthplace and minute. no lookup tables, no swiss ephemeris.
they're kept separate on purpose: the science app never mixes in symbolism, and this one never pretends to be science. two ways of reading one sky, in two apps that don't argue.
computed vibes are still vibes. but they're computed.
finished, more or less: she runs on my phone and nowhere else, with no app store and no testflight. the code is open, so anyone with a mac and xcode can build her. her name comes from the little golden moon flowers, and her math is astrelia's. i'm not planning more work on her, so this is selenia as she is.

1 she did go in for app review once. apple turned her down under guideline 4.3, which is their way of saying the store already has plenty of astrology apps. so now she lives on my phone and on github, where anyone can build her ☾
the stars incline, they do not bind ♥︎
