Daily Reading
Your daily reading is a personalised astrological digest generated every night for the next day. It is grounded in your natal chart and the current planetary transits.
The 5 domains
Each reading covers up to 5 domains of life, determined by the transits most active for your chart that day:
| Domain | What it looks at |
|---|---|
| Energy | Your overall vitality and drive for the day |
| Love | Emotional and relational currents (Moon, Venus) |
| Work | Professional focus, ambition, and output (Mars, Saturn) |
| Inner | Psychological and spiritual undercurrents |
| Challenge | Where friction or growth pressure is concentrated |
Each card shows the domain label, a title, a paragraph interpretation, and the active transits that produced it.
Cards with a Locked badge indicate a house in your chart that hasn't been unlocked yet. The hook text gives a preview of the theme — click the link to unlock the house or visit Connections to activate it.
How readings are generated
Duocosm uses a corpus-first RAG approach:
- Current transits for your chart are calculated (Swiss Ephemeris)
- Relevant astrological texts are retrieved from the Duocosm corpus
- Claude synthesises a personalised reading grounded in those texts — it never invents astrological meaning from scratch
This means readings are rooted in genuine astrological tradition, not generic horoscope copy.
