What
We Do
StarIQ™ is providing intelligent, customized and timely
astrological information to the mainstream via the Internet. We're
moving astrology beyond entertainment to a tool for understanding
life and supporting personal empowerment.
Why
We Do It
Two reasons. First, interest in astrology is strong and continuing
to grow. And second, technology has made it possible to provide
relevant astrological information in a form that is compact and
digestible. In short, astrological information was made for the
Internet.
How
We Do It
Through the synergy of personalized forecasts, content and community.
