# Lora

> Lora is an astrology app that reads your birth chart and keeps reading it,
> daily, against the sky as it actually moves. It pairs a personal daily
> practice — forecasts, transit snapshots, weekly reflections — with a set of
> free astrology tools and a marketplace of vetted practitioners you can book a
> reading with. Free to use. Made in New York.

## What Lora does
- **Daily Forecast**: a personalised astrology snapshot each day, built around you, your context over time, and the sky's current movements.
- **Transit Snapshot**: a focused look at a transit currently affecting you — what it is, the dates it is active, and the area of life it touches.
- **Weekly Recap**: a reflection combining your astrology with what you have shared with Lora — your themes, who has been on your mind, your emotional patterns, and the transits behind them. Unlocks after about a week and updates every Sunday.
- **Orbit**: where the people closest to you meet your astrology.

## What Lora needs
Date of birth, place of birth, and time of birth. Birth time is optional — a
chart still works without it, though the rising sign and house placements are
the ones that move if the time turns out to be different.
