With that in mind, Co-Star offers a more in-depth chart and bases its daily readings on the intricacies of every users' complete astrological profile, analyzing moon and rising signs, astrological houses and planetary placement. Millions of people are born during each zodiac season, but odds of someone being born at the same exact time on the same exact date at the same exact place slim down the fat. This is usually what people recognize themselves as when asked that age-old question, 'What's your sign?' Most astrology platforms offer readings pertaining to general sun signs-the wide-ranging signs of the zodiac based on the position of the sun at a person's birth. In an interview with Newsweek, Co-Star co-founder Banu Guler explained the company's efforts to build a positive platform and bring people together through intricate astrology practices. 'The big thing is at Co-star, we take a lot of time and energy to really think about how we talk to our friends in real life on the couch, in group chats and I think that ethic and voice comes through really strong on our social media and the app,' Guler recently told Newsweek during a phone interview. However, it's the language of the app-its cosmically candid words of wisdom-that has everybody talking about it. It's what allows Co-Star to provide spot-on readings to each and every one of its users every day, and it's what separates the app from its astrology predecessors. To some, it seems like the app knows each individual user what they're thinking, what they're feeling and what they're plotting.įounded in 2017 by Banu Guler, Ben Weitzman, and Anna Kopp, the app generates a curated reading based on the time, place and date of each user's birth and the positions of the planets upon their earthly arrival. Some people who believe in astrology and use the app joke that they feel directly attacked by the cosmos. There are tons of astrology apps on the market, Channing Tatum recently freaked out over one, but what makes Co-Star different is the brutally honest nature of the readings. Not everyone believes in astrology, but more than 4.5 million check their phones every morning for an astrological notification from Co-Star, a 'hyper-personalized' astrology app.
