FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how Hoshiyomi works, what's free, and how payment is handled.
What kinds of readings are there?
Over 40. Alongside astrology, tarot, dream interpretation, Nine Star Ki, Japanese name reading, the I Ching and numerology, there are modern readings that only work with AI — a social media fortune, personalised affirmations, a reading synced to tonight's moon phase, and others.
What is the deeper reading?
It opens up the core of the reading, which is held back at first. For most readings it's included at no cost. Only two — the Complete Reading and the Celtic Cross Tarot — offer a further section paid via PayPal (¥398).
Can I keep asking the reader questions?
Yes, as many as you like, free, for each reading. Every time you ask why, or ask for more, the reading goes another layer down.
How accurate are the readings?
They're generated by AI reasoning from the name, date of birth and concern you enter. They're intended as entertainment and are not guaranteed to be accurate. For decisions that matter, please consult a qualified professional.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes — phone, tablet or computer. The layout adapts, so it works comfortably on a small screen.
Is payment secure?
Payment goes through PayPal's secure checkout. Your card details never pass through our service, and the connection is SSL-encrypted throughout.
Can under-18s use it?
Anyone under 18 needs a guardian's consent. If you're considering a paid deeper reading, please speak to your guardian first.
Can I share my reading on social media?
For personal use, that's fine. Commercial use and republication without permission are not permitted — see Article 6 of the Terms of Service.
