Notice your own
patterns.
Write a few lines, mark the day. Each entry remembers where the Moon was — so over months you can see what genuinely lines up with how you feel, in your own record rather than a forecast.
Two minutes, then leave it alone
The composer is deliberately small — a prompt, five mood buttons, a box. Anything more elaborate is a thing to keep up with, and a journal you have to keep up with stops being written.
The useful part arrives later, on its own, once there is enough recorded to say something true.

- check_circleMoon sign, nakshatra, tithi and dasha stamped on each entry
- check_circleA mood line over time, with the gaps left as gaps
- check_circlePatterns once there are ten marked entries — not before
Four steps, one of them optional
Nothing here requires a habit to be worth anything. Ten entries over two months works exactly as well as ten in ten days.
Write a few lines
A prompt drawn from where the Moon is in your chart today, or ignore it and write whatever you like. Both are fine.
Mark the day
Five steps, one tap. Skipping it is allowed — an unmarked entry is writing, not missing data, and it never counts as a neutral you didn't choose.
The sky is stamped in
Each entry keeps the Moon's sign, nakshatra, the tithi and your current dasha period, recorded at the moment you wrote it.
Patterns, once there are enough
After ten marked entries it starts looking for correlations. Before that it says how many more it needs rather than showing you noise.
About the journal
Is this astrology or is it journalling?add
Both, kept apart on purpose. The writing is yours and stands on its own. The astrology is a timestamp — where the Moon was, which dasha period you were in — recorded alongside so that later you can look for correlations. The app never tells you what an entry means.
What patterns does it actually look for?add
Four, all in your own data: Chandra-bala, meaning how the transiting Moon's position from your birth Moon lines up with your moods; the day of the week; the waxing or waning half of the lunar month; and your current antardasha period. Each needs at least three entries in a bucket before that bucket counts at all.
Why ten entries before it says anything?add
Because below that, one bad week is the entire dataset. An app that tells someone their mood is governed by Saturn on the strength of five entries is doing harm, not astrology. The threshold is stated on the page so it doesn't look like the feature is broken.
Can Arivyah see what I write?add
Your entries are stored on your account and are not fed into the assistant's context, not used for training, and not read by anyone. If you want to talk something through, that is what Guidance is for — and there you choose what to say.
Do I have to write every day?add
No, and the app is built for that. Days with no entry are simply absent from the chart rather than plotted as a zero, which would draw a crash that never happened. There is a streak count because some people like one, and nothing is withheld if you break it.
Is this therapy?add
No. It is a place to write and a way to notice your own patterns. It is not treatment and Arivyah is not a clinician. If you are struggling in a way that needs help, please talk to someone qualified — in the US, 988 reaches the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline any time.
