DexYour chart's been telling you this for a while. 📊
LuzCorazón, I'm going to tell you what I see. 🌹
Every guide reads the stars their own way, and each one comes with a familiar who keeps you company while they think. Nova, Orion, Nia and Zion are free. Vela only turns up in eclipse season.
The Protective BFF
She's got your back fr fr
OKAY so a Scorpio and a Gemini?? 💀 I need you to BREATHE because I have thoughts and some of them are concerning. But also, you're a Scorpio. You can handle this. I got you. Let's get into it.
Kiki guards my receipts while I read your texts. She's the face on my notifications, and she goes feral when your streak levels up.
Most astrology apps hand you a reading and walk away. Cosmic Tea's guides act like people who know you: they text first, keep track of your people, compare notes and watch the sky on your behalf.
Your first reading arrives before you've typed a word. After that, your guide checks in, in their own voice, when the sky or your people have something going on.
I read your chart before you got here. We need to talk about your Venus 👀
Morning. Your Daily Tea's ready, and the Moon's in your seventh house, so be nice to whoever you're texting 💅
Tell them once. Your guide keeps track of who's who, what happened and when, so every chat picks up where you left off.
they did it again
Nova
The late-reply thing? That's the third time since June, babe. Same pattern as the birthday. Want the honest read?
Drop in the texts. Your guide works out who said what, then reads what's actually going on, grounded in both charts.
hey so about last night 😅
we should talk
…talk like good talk or bad talk
just talk
Nova
Their Mercury in Virgo drafted "we should talk" four times, babe 💀 "Just talk" is a stall. They're nervous, and nobody's breaking up with anybody. You're allowed to ask which kind of talk before Sunday.
On Galaxy your guides share what they know about you. Tell Nova about the crush, switch to Sage, and Sage is already caught up.
Sage already knows what you told Nova
can we talk about Jordan?
Sage
Nova filled me in. Before we get into the text, how are you actually doing with all this? 🌙
In the Tea Room, three or four of your guides talk about your week, your chart and your people. You read along. They can't see you.
You joined the Tea Room. They can't see you.
Every morning your guide reads today's real sky against your chart. On Cosmic they flag the best windows with each of your people, so you know when to say the thing.
Orion
Thursday evening. Venus lines up with your Moon. Say it then, not tonight.
A birthday is enough to start. Add a birth time and city and you both get full charts, houses and all.
Tough love, therapy, psychic drama or a spreadsheet. Switch any time. Your people stay put.
Ask about anyone: the crush, the friend, the boss, your mum. Or drop a screenshot and let them read it.
we should talk…
Every feature is built around the people in your life, and every one of them reads from the real sky.
Your guide writes today's read from the real sky and your chart. Missed a day? Steeped keeps the last few ready to reread.
The Moon lights up your Venus until about four. Whoever's been on your mind, today they'll actually hear it.
Your guide remembers your people, your patterns and what happened last time. No re-explaining your life every chat.
Your ex, your best friend, your boss. Each one gets their own ongoing conversation, so nobody blurs together.
A card a day on the free plan, three-card spreads on Cosmic, every spread and a photo of your own deck on Galaxy. You can read the cards for someone else, too.
Sun to Pluto plus Lilith, with houses in Whole Sign or Placidus, drawn as a wheel for you and a biwheel for the two of you.
Your cosmic week looks back at last week and ahead at this one. On Cosmic you also get the best windows with each of your people.
CosmicA calendar of easy days and loud ones: a week ahead on the free plan, the month on Cosmic, a full year on Galaxy.
Line up everyone you're talking to and let a guide drag the whole lineup, chart by chart. It ends up on your story.
CosmicYour guide sends your Daily Tea in their own voice, and on Cosmic you pick the time it lands. Their familiar turns up when your streak levels up.
Your Moon is doing a lot today. Read this before you text anyone 💅
Seven days in a row. Kiki is beside herself.
Your profection year and the eclipse seasons from the real sky, plus your solar return on Galaxy. Vela turns up for eclipse season.
Share cards for your chart, your match and your daily read. Scan a friend's code to compare charts in seconds.
Eight languages, each written to sound native, with guides who keep their personality in every one.
Your guides got a voice, a face that moves and a few new tricks. Version 1.2 is live on the web and Android now. iPhone is coming soon.
Nova, Zion and Luz have voices now. Tap for sound and they say their line out loud.
Your guide gasps, laughs and tilts its head at what you send. Their mouths have eight shapes now, so they look like they're really talking.
Add a friend's birthday and send them their own chart. They get a card with a joke about their Sun, Moon and Rising, and a page with their chart wheel. They don't need the app to open it, and they can remove the link any time.
Tap a planet or a house on a chart and your guide reads it to you. No payment needed. Cosmic adds your guide's own full read and the aspects.
Your guide says hello on Daily, once a day, with a line for the time of day. On your birthday you get a full-screen card from your guide that you can share. A few days late? You get a belated one.
Add someone and see their Sun, Moon and Rising right away, with a line from your guide. The same three sit as chips on each person in your list. Add a birth time and Moon and Rising fill in.
Your week looks at each person in your life and picks the days that suit a talk with them. So you know when to say the thing.
Six small sounds for taps, chips, messages, reveals and celebrations. They're on by default, and a Sounds switch in Settings turns them off. A guide's voice only plays when you tap it.
Your guides have a group chat, and it's about you. It's coming soon on Cosmic and Galaxy.
How the Tea Room worksScreens are from the app itself. Voices are in English for now.
Captured from the app itself. Dark mode for the night owls, light mode for everyone else.
Every row is verifiable today. We tore down each of these apps and kept the screenshots. The top row is the one none of them can check off: we tested their chat and it doesn't know your chart.

Row one is not a typo. We asked AstroBella's and Astro's chat what our birth chart said about us. Both apps had our exact birth time on file. Both answered by asking for our birthday.
Last row: everyone with a real chart engine computes real positions. That's the floor. The difference is everything above it.

This is how Cosmic Tea draws two people. Your orbit on the left, theirs on the right. Where you share an element the ring runs straight across the seam. Where you don't, it breaks.
The two inner rings stay quiet until the app knows your birth times and places. That's where Moon and Rising live, and where the real read starts.
The astronomy is maths. The AI writes the language. Your guide can only read placements the chart engine actually computed.
Your chart comes from a real ephemeris for your exact birth time and place.

Straight from the chat, in a tap. A real person reads the queue.

Cosmic Tea is a relationship-advice app built on real astrology. You add the people in your life, pick one of twelve guides, and ask about anyone: a crush, a friend, an ex, a boss. Your guide reads both birth charts, remembers the story and gives you an honest read.
Yes. Moonlight is a real free tier: four guides (Nova, Orion, Nia and Zion), 10 messages on your first day, then 5 a day, your full chart, Daily Tea and a daily tarot card. No credit card needed. Cosmic ($9.99 a month) and Galaxy ($12.99 a month) add every guide, long-term memory, Receipts, tarot spreads and more.
Real astrology. Your chart is computed from a true ephemeris, with moon phases and retrogrades from NASA JPL and your choice of Whole Sign or Placidus houses. The guides interpret that data. They can't make up planets. We published the whole method so you can check the maths: How we read the sky.
A group chat where three or four of your guides talk about your week, your chart and your people. You can read along, they can't see you, and only the guides can post. It's coming soon on Cosmic and Galaxy, with a peek for free accounts. How the Tea Room works.
Every guide has a familiar, a small companion drawn in the same style: Kiki (Nova's bunny), Bishop (Orion's owl), Imani (Nia's bison calf), Lowry (Zion's lion cub), Umbra (Vela's moth), Bastet (Cleo's cat), Basil (Sage's capybara), Earl Grey (Hestia's teapot), Cayenne (Roux's fox), Winston (Marcus's tortoise), Scout (Dex's raccoon), Chispa (Luz's hummingbird). They keep you company while your guide reads, turn up on your notifications and celebrate your streaks.
For the deep stuff, yes: your Rising sign and houses need an exact time and city. Without a time you get an honest Sun-based read, never a faked one.
Doesn't matter. Nobody you add has to download the app, sign up, agree or even know. There's no invite to send and no partner to convince. Couples apps stop working when one of you loses interest. This one doesn't.
Co-Star and The Pattern hand you a feed. Cosmic Tea's guides act like people who know you: they know your chart and theirs, remember your people, text you first, compare notes and answer your follow-up questions. The comparison table above has every row.
