Real astronomical ephemeris math, on your device. Arc-second accurate, works offline. And if you don't know your birth time, Vela says so instead of guessing.
Vela computes your chart from real ephemeris data, then explains what it means — clearly, without mystifying what it doesn't know.
Date, time, and place. If you don't know the time, say so — Vela labels your chart honestly.
Every placement, cusp, and aspect calculated from real ephemeris data. No internet needed.
One reading each morning — built from your actual transits that day and the current moon phase.
A chat that can see your actual placements — not just your sun sign. 20 messages a week.
Vela only claims what it actually ships. Every feature listed here is in the app.
Sun through Pluto plus both lunar nodes, placed to the arc-second. Ascendant and all twelve houses in Whole Sign, Placidus, or Porphyry — always labelled.
One reading per morning grounded in the real transits to your real chart plus the current moon phase. One notification, never a second.
Ask questions and get answers from your actual computed chart. Up to 20 messages a week — the limit is real and stated upfront.
Add someone's birth details and see the real inter-chart aspects between you, plus your composite chart. Every connection listed with its exact orb. Everything stays on your device.
No birth time? Vela shows a clearly labelled solar chart and explains what's missing — it never defaults to noon and fabricates a rising sign.
Your daily line and the moon phase, always visible. Free forever — the widget doesn't need a subscription.
Vela's two real differentiators: real on-device ephemeris math, and billing that shows you the full price before you agree to anything.
SwiftAA/AA+: a C++ implementation of Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms. The same class of math used for planetarium software — arc-second accurate, computed on your device, works without a connection.
The paywall shows the real renewal price and the exact date you'd be charged, in full size — never fine print. A reminder fires two days before the trial ends. Cancelling is one visible tap.
No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync. Your birth details never leave your phone except inside a reading you asked for.
The astronomy is real. The interpretation is written for reflection and entertainment — not prediction, and not professional advice. Stated plainly in the app and here.
$49.99/year, renews 7 days after you start the trial unless cancelled — shown in full before you agree to anything.
Real astronomical math. No accounts. No guessed rising signs. No surprise charges.
