How to read your sky
Six small steps, from an empty sky to a daily habit of looking up.
Build your constellation
Your constellation is a map of your life, drawn in stars. Open it, give your sky a name and place your first star. It takes a couple of minutes, and you can change it whenever you like.
- Name it anything: Mine, The Lantern, This year.
- Your constellation is part of Plus, with up to 24 stars.
Add what matters to you
Each star is something you care about: family, work, wellbeing, a pet, the planet. Choose how bright it shines and what colour it feels right now, then drag it into place and link the stars that belong together.
- Tap a suggestion or write your own.
- Come back when feelings change: your readings follow your sky.
Take your daily reading
Photograph the clouds above you. Nephomancy reads what it sees, weighs what you have placed in your constellation, and writes a short reading just for you.
- Free gives you a reading every day. Plus gives you more.
- Plus also unlocks the Contemplative voice, with journal questions to take away.
- Allow your location and the reading can mention the sun and moon where you are.
Earn your streak and crests
Read on consecutive days to grow your streak. As your readings add up you earn a crest at 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250 and 500 readings.

Journal every day
Take a minute with your journal. Write what the reading stirred, link it to the reading that prompted it, and keep one small entry for each day.
- Pick any day on the calendar to read or edit its entry.
- Use the questions from a Contemplative reading as a place to start.
- The journal is part of Plus, and included for members.
Reflect on what you have learnt
Your readings gather as tiles, month by month, with the sky you photographed behind each one (Plus keeps your photos). Look back, notice what keeps returning, and write about the ones that stayed with you.
- Then visit your constellation again. Has a star grown brighter, or changed colour?
Your sky is waiting
Begin with one star and one look up. The rest follows.
