Saturn enters Aries
on 14 February.
It last did that in 1996. It will stay there for two and a half years, and for some of that time it will be sitting on something in your own chart.
Auspex is a calendar for the sky. It puts the eclipses, retrogrades and ingresses on a month grid, marks the ones that touch your chart, and tells you what each tends to ask of you. Start with your birth chart, which is free.
The shaded half is the sky below the horizon at that moment.
A month at a time
Every station, ingress, lunation and eclipse, on the day it happens. February 2026 is a busy one: Saturn changes sign on the 14th, there is an annular eclipse on the 17th, and Mercury turns retrograde on the 26th.

What it tends to ask
A new moon carrying an eclipse is a beginning you do not get to inspect first. The shadow is forcing a decision to prove the moment mattered. The work is letting the ground settle before you name what has changed.
Then tap the day
Times, not just dates. A station at 06:48 and one at 23:10 are different days in half the world, so Auspex gives you the moment.
Underneath sits the writing: what the event is, where it tends to go wrong, and what it asks. Three sentences. It will never tell you a day is bad.
The half that is about you
An eclipse is an eclipse for everybody. What differs is where it falls in your chart, and whether anything of yours is standing there.
Transits, with their windows
Saturn does not square your Sun on one afternoon. It is in orb for months, and it perfects on a particular day. You get both.
Drag the sky through time
Scrub forwards and the wheel moves with your thumb, aspects forming and letting go. Your own placements stay pinned behind it.
Two charts at once
Put your chart against somebody else's and see where they touch. Cross-aspects and house overlays, described the same plain way.
Most of it, without opening the app
Five home-screen widgets: the Moon and its phase, the next thing due, the sky wheel, and how hard the current transits are leaning on your chart.
They work signed out, and they do not make a network request. The app writes what they need once a day and they read it off disk, so they are correct on a train with no signal and cost you no battery.

Android. Drawn from real positions.
How it talks to you
A hard aspect is described as friction, and then as what the friction is for. Nothing is scored out of ten, and no colour anywhere in the app carries a judgement, so there is no channel through which one could be smuggled back in.
Every interpretation is written by hand and held in a reviewed corpus. Here is one in full, for Saturn crossing a natal Sun.
Saturn square Sun · perfects 14 March
For the months Saturn sits within orb of your natal Sun, you feel a weight settle on the identity itself: projects that used to coast now demand explicit effort. The shadow is collapsing into self-doubt and reading the squeeze as proof you are defective. The work is letting the friction show you which commitments are load-bearing.

Your birth data is not the product
A birth time and place is about as identifying as data gets. It is stored so your charts can be computed, and it is used for nothing else. It is never sold, never handed to a data broker, and never used to target the ads on the free tier.
Export everything held about you, or delete the account and have it all go with it. Both are buttons in the app rather than an email you have to chase. Read the detail.
Questions
I do not know my birth time.
You can still have the chart. Planets by sign are fine to the day; what a missing time costs you is the houses and the ascendant, since the ascendant moves a degree every four minutes. Auspex says which parts are affected rather than quietly guessing.
Is the writing AI-generated?
No. The interpretations are hand-authored and reviewed, held in a corpus rather than produced on demand. There is an optional layer that assembles longer readings, and it may only cite material from that corpus: if it cannot ground a claim, the claim is dropped.
Which tradition does it use?
Whichever you want. Western tropical by default, with Western sidereal, Vedic, Hellenistic and Babylonian alongside it, each with its own house system and vocabulary. Chinese BaZi, Mayan Tzolk'in and the Egyptian decans sit in the calendar too. The detail.
Do you believe in this?
Auspex takes astrology seriously as a symbolic tradition with a long literature, and takes the astronomy literally. It does not claim the planets cause anything. What it offers is a careful, well-timed set of prompts for thinking about your own life.
When does it ship?
The app is built and in testing. What is left is the paperwork: store registration and review. Leave an address and you will hear once, on the day.
iPhone?
