Sanctuary is a mobile app focusing on astrology and mystical services.[1][2] Users enter their birthday, time of birth, and place of birth information into the app and receive a birth chart as well as daily horoscope readings. Users can also sign up for a monthly membership and receive on-demand astrological readings via a text message format.[3] The service has been described as being “Talkspace for astrology"[4] and "Uber for astrological readings".[5] The mobile app uses an A.I.-driven interface.[6]

On May 14 2019, Apple featured Sanctuary as the App of the Day.[7]
