The Observatory (Today)

Your daily orientation on /today — the sky overhead, one clear reading, the receipts behind it, and the instruments to go deeper.

The Observatory

/today is your daily arrival point: a short, cinematic read of what the sky is doing for you today and where to take it. It's built as a sequence of acts you scroll through, top to bottom, rather than a wall of panels.

The Sky

The page opens full-screen on today's sky, with the day's opening line woven in. Small chips along the bottom carry the ambient facts — a weather chip, a moon-phase chip ("Waxing Gibbous · 72% lit"), and, when there's one worth naming, a single headline from the wider sky.

Where to go

Three doors hand you off to the rest of the app — Map, Conditions, and Discover — so today's read can turn into action in one tap.

Today's reading

The heart of the page. It lands rolled up as a teaser with a "Read the full reading" button; open it for the full prose. This is one clear read for your day, not a dashboard.

The receipts

Folded into the reading is a disclosure — "the receipts — every line behind this reading" — that opens the local lines feeding today's read: transit lines crossing here today, where today's sky meets your birth chart, and your birth chart lines near your city. Open it when you want to see the evidence; leave it closed for the plain read.

The Instruments

Four cards to go deeper: Map, Your Chart & Design, Almanac, and Week Ahead. These are the jumping-off points from a single day into the fuller tools.

The quiet end

The page closes with learning chips, the footer, and the location chooser — the place picker that sets which city today's reading is written for. Change it here to re-read the day from somewhere else.

[!NOTE] Did today's read land? A small "did you feel it?" prompt (Yes / Sort of / No) sometimes appears — your answers quietly tune how the reading is chosen over time. It's optional and never blocks the page.
