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.

Personalized Forecasts:
We start with individualized data: the exact date, place and time (if known) of an individual's birth. Our personalized astrology email products, based on unique birth information, include:

  • PlanetForecast™: Free personalized astrology via email. Six to ten emails each month are sent on days that are astrologically important.
  • LoveCycles™—Your 60-Day Guide to Relationships: Each week the LoveCycles email describes key times and dates of relationship opportunities and challenges and how best to meet them. For $10.95 customers receive a comprehensive profile and weekly emails.
  • Future products: SpiritCycles™, ErotiCycles™

Content:
Original content from an astrological perspective is available at StarIQ and on our affiliate sites. We cover the stock market, health, politics, celebrities, sports and relationships. Regular features include:

  • LoveStars™: StarIQ's weekly romance horoscope for all twelve Sun signs.
  • Planet Pulse™: A daily audio forecast by StarIQ founders Rick Levine and Jeff Jawer. Listen each day for the current astrological patterns and how they affect the general public.
  • The Aquarium Age™: Discusses the larger picture of the cosmic weather and provides an overview of the astrological patterns for the coming week.
  • PlanetIQ™: Describes the meaning of each planet according to the sign it's in at the present time. PlanetIQ is updated whenever a planet changes signs.
