cecco
The right work at the right moment.
The planetary day and hour, the moon's phase, sign, and mansion — and the rituals, incenses, psalms, and candles they favor.

An almanac of hours, in your pocket
Dark skies, gold linework, and the doctrine of hours — read, searched, and worked from your phone.
One question, one card
Tell the sage the situation you're actually in and it answers with magical counsel that names your moment — the hours ahead that favor it, and what to do in them.
- Ask in plain words
- Describe the situation the way you'd say it out loud. There's no form to fill and no goal to pick from a list — the sage reads what you wrote against the sky you're standing under.
- It answers in hours
- What comes back is windows, not advice: a Friday before dawn, a Saturday mid-morning, each one an hour the sky favors for what you asked — with the working to do in it and the reason it fits.
- Drawn from the library
- The counsel is composed from cecco's own corpus and its own reckoning of the sky, and it cites the workings it names. It tells you what the sources lean toward, never what will happen.
- The one part that needs a connection
- Asking the sage sends your question to be answered; the rest of cecco works without a connection. The answers you keep are saved on the device.
Your own sky
Give cecco the moment and place you were born and the whole library is laid out as a sky over your chart — every working a star, sitting with the planet it belongs to, where that planet falls for you.
- Brighter suits you
- A star burns bright when the planets a working leans on are the strong, well-placed ones in your chart. Where the sky stays dark, nothing in your chart speaks for that work — a reading in itself, not a gap.
- Breathing suits now
- The stars that breathe are the ones this hour favors: brightness for the relationship that stays, shimmer for the hour that passes. The two are never multiplied into one number.
- Judged by the old tables
- Planetary strength is read from William Lilly's tables of essential dignity and accidental fortitude, with the day-and-night sect of older Hellenistic and Perso-Arabic practice. The numbers are organizing tools, never a measurement of a person.
- It stays on this phone
- Your birth details are kept on the device and read there — even the birthplace search runs on a bundled atlas, so it asks for no location and makes no request. Your chart never reaches a server, and you can remove it at any time.
The hour, named
Every day and hour has its planetary ruler. cecco derives them from sunrise and sunset where you stand — no tables, no guesswork.
The moon, placed
Phase, zodiac sign, and lunar mansion — the moon's three faces, read together at a glance.
A window, found
Working for wealth, love, protection, healing? cecco searches the days ahead for the next favorable hour.
The work, chosen
Rituals, incenses, psalms, and candles, ranked to the moment — with the reasons why each one fits.
Quiet by design
The whole sky is computed on your phone, and your moments, your workings, and your chart stay there. Asking the sage is the one thing that reaches out — and only when you ask it to.
Computed on your phone
Sunrise, hours, phases, mansions, the whole library, and your natal chart — all derived on-device. Everything but the sage works with no connection at all.
No account, no tracking
No analytics, no ads, no sign-up, no subscription. Your practice is yours alone.
The sage is the exception
A question you send the sage is answered on cecco's server, so it travels — with the place you're reading from, so the answer can name real hours. The answers you keep are saved on your phone.
Begin at the next favorable hour
The sky is already turning — cecco tells you when it turns favorable.
