[Midjourney](https://www.midjourney.com/home), an AI lab best known for its LLM\-powered image and video generators, has acquired the social astrology app[Co\-Star](https://www.costarastrology.com/), according to[Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-24/ai-startup-midjourney-buys-astrology-app-co-star-and-is-building-its-own-apps)\. The deal terms were not disclosed\.
[Co\-Star](https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/17/co-star-astrology-app-seed-round/), which reportedly has about 4\.3 million monthly active users, is mostly used to help people determine their astrological birth charts, which they can then share with other friends on the app\. Co\-Star uses both AI and humans to write horoscopes, compatibility assessments, and other advice based on a user’s astrological information\.
Midjourney seems to be casting a wide net when it comes its product lineup\. The company seems almost synonymous with the[Discord server](https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/29/from-viggle-to-midjourney-discord-is-an-unlikely-foundation-for-the-genai-boom/)where users can generate text and images — there is no stand\-alone Midjourney app — yet the AI lab is also trying to build a[medical](https://www.midjourney.com/medical)arm and spa\. Why not throw an astrology app in the mix?
Co\-Star’s team of two dozen employees has joined Midjourney as part of the acquisition\. Given the team’s experience in building consumer apps, Midjourney could perhaps finally get its own stand\-alone app\.
Midjourney has acquired the astrology app Co-Star, and its founder Banu Guler will become Midjourney's chief design officer to help build the company's first image generation app.
