Next: How you hear from me. Nothing is sent unless you ask for it. If you would like the Pocket Horoscope by email or a push on your phone, this is where you say so — and you can turn it off again whenever you like.
This is Aunt Starling’s own account, shown as a demonstration. You can look at everything here, but nothing can be changed, the demo is read‑only, so the forms below will not save.
Nibling Account Details
Saved. Open this to change anything.
nib·ling /ˈnɪb.lɪŋ/ noun
a gender-neutral term for the child of one’s sibling; a replacement for “niece” or “nephew”
What These Details Produced
If any of these three look wrong, the birth time or birthplace above is the usual reason. Rising changes every couple of hours, so it is the one that catches a mistyped time.
The details entered here are used to inform all of the tools I've prepared for you here at Aunt Starling. They're used to determine when I refresh the view of your current sky, personalize your daily Nest and, of course, to calculate your astrological details.
Wingmates And
Murmurations
10 out of 18 people, open to add someone or sort them into murmurations.
Wingmates
The people you've added, one at a time. Each has their own birth chart, and their own reading of how your chart and theirs speak to each other.
Murmurations
A group of Wingmates who share daily life. Their stars carry extra weight in your daily horoscope, and the dynamics between them count too.
📬 Pocket Horoscope & Notifications
Everything about how I reach you: your daily note, and the one-off nudges. Open to choose what I send, who I mention, and when.
Your notes go to starling@askauntstarling.com.
Not the inbox you want?
🔔 Notifications
Separate from the daily note above: these are the one-off nudges about you and your people rather than about the sky. A new life chapter opening, a planetary return coming up, a birthday on its way. No spam, only the moments worth interrupting you for. They arrive on the same channels you chose for the daily note above, so there is one place to change how I reach you and not two.
What To Tell Me About
These choices are saved, but nothing can reach this phone until you tap Enable notifications on this device above. Email is separate and arrives either way.
Weather alerts relay official National Weather Service watches, warnings and advisories for wherever you are that day, including on a trip. They are a courtesy relay checked hourly, not a warning service, and United States only. Always follow official warnings and local sirens rather than this note.
The three before it are the field itself rather than the sky: a geomagnetic storm or a notable solar flare, a barometer that moves more than 6 millibars in a day, and a high Schumann reading on a day the magnetic field is otherwise quiet. They are off until you turn them on, and each one is its own row.
Sky events, eclipses, ingresses and rare patterns are set under Special editions above, so they are not repeated here.
In your local time. You'll still see everything in the app, these choices only affect whether I reach out. Quiet hours hold back pushes and texts, because those interrupt you; email still arrives, since it just waits in your inbox until you're ready. A text held this way is not sent late either, so nothing arrives at 3am to make up for it.
Email carries everything you tick, in full.
Text messages carry a condensed Pocket Horoscope, one longer text: a birthday or sky event on top when there is one, the same summary that opens your email, then a star rating and a line or two for you, each Wingmate and each murmuration. On a very full day the lines shorten before anyone is left out, and the link at the end always has the whole thing.
Push notifications are a glance, not a digest: the sky, your star rating and one line about your day. Tapping one opens your Nest, where everything you chose is waiting.
Send Yourself A Test
A Pocket Horoscope just for you, that includes only what you want, just how you want it. Here is a way to check. Each button sends one clearly-marked example, only ever to you.
✈️ Trips
Where you will be, by date. Your letter follows you: the forecast, sunrise, Rahu Kalam and the Chinese hour are all local questions. Your birth chart never changes.
👓 Text Size
Make everything on the site bigger. This follows you to every device you sign in on, and it adds to whatever text size your phone or browser is already set to.
Choose the size that is comfortable. The whole site moves together, so nothing overlaps or gets cut off, and your own browser or phone setting still works on top of this one.
