How do I sign-up on the web?
Simply follow the registration process on the "My Account" page on our website. Select one of two introductory offers and follow the steps required in OPTION ONE, then click CONTINUE: enter the 10-digit Phone Number you will use for your first consultation, enter a PIN number and confirm it.

How do I sign-up using my phone?
Simply call 1-866-MY-ASTRO and you will be prompted to press the star key if you are a new user. During regular business hours you will then be connected to our friendly customer service team who will help you with the sign up process.
You will be able to select one of two introductory offers for new users. You will be prompted to select your Phone ID, typically this would be your phone number and a 4-digit PIN number.
You will need a valid credit card, issued in your name. If you select our Free 5-Minute Offer, your card will not be charged. In this case the credit card is required for age verification purposes.
Why do I need my phone number?
Your phone number will be your unique secure identifier (it will become your account number), called Phone ID, which will allow the system to access your account to transfer you to the advisor of your choice.
It will also be easy for you to memorize your Phone ID, when it is your own phone number. Be assured that your phone number will never be revealed to any of our advisors. All calls are made exclusively through the 1-866-MY-ASTRO phone system to ensure confidentiality.
How do I select a PIN number?
During the sign up process, you will choose your personal 4-digit PIN Number. You will use your PIN Number every time you log in to your account: whether on our website or over the phone. It is important to keep this number safe.
Do I have to log in when I want to use the service, whether on the website or on the phone?
Yes. To protect your privacy and for security reasons, we will always ask you to log in before you access your account. However, you can consult the other pages of our website www.astrocenter.com without logging in.
How does the free 5-Minute Offer work?
This Special Offer is only for new users. All minutes have to be used in one consultation and the offer is a one-time offer only. Even though the offer is free and no charges apply, we require valid credit card for age verification.
When you complete the sign up process, you will be able to select an advisor from the list of available advisors. You will be able to call our toll-free number, log in and start your free 5-minute consultation with the advisor of your choice.
How does the 10-Minute Offer work?
This Special Offer is only for new users. All minutes have to be used in one consultation and the offer is a one-time offer only.
When you sign up, you will be able to select an advisor from the list of available advisors. You will then call our toll-free number, log in and start your 10-Minute consultation with the advisor of your choice.
Please note: The 10-Minute Offer is only valid for new users of the 1-866-MY-ASTRO service. Your credit card will be charged only once for $1.
How long do I have to use my Special Offer minutes?
There is no expiration date. You can use your Special Offer consultation whenever you want.
If I don't use all Special Offer minutes on my first call, can I carry the balance forward to my next call?
Unfortunately not. Our Special Offers are "One-Time" offers only and designed to give a good first impression of what a psychic reading can do for you. We are convinced that you would want to have at least a 5 minute conversation with your psychic to have a satisfactory reading. If you do not use all your minutes, the rest of them will be lost.
However, if you like to continue after your first 5 minutes are up, you can place your advisor on hold and select to add credit to your account and continue with your reading with the same advisor. Please see below.
If I really like the reading and want to continue over the minutes of the Special Offer, can I do that?
Yes, you certainly can. After your first consultation you can decide to:
- add credit to your account to continue with your consultation
(your advisor remains on hold)
- add credit but make another call later
- end the call
Once the 5- or10-minute consultation is over, you'll be asked whether you wish to end your reading or add credit to your account and continue your reading.
What happens when my Special Offer call ends?
We will never charge your credit card without your authorization. Once your Special Offer minutes are used, you can:
- simply end the communication without additional charges
- add credit to your account and continue your consultation with the same advisor
When you end the conversation, please be sure to make a note of your advisors name or extension number so you can call again, when you want to discuss another situation or need further advice.
When you select to add credit, your advisor is placed on hold; you are NOT paying for the time it takes to add credit and you can add credit in $10 increments, starting at the minimum of $30.00. Be sure to add enough credit to not be interrupted too quickly when your credit ends. Once the crediting was successful, you will be connected right away with your advisor. This is a faster way to getting back to him or her than ending the call and deciding to add money later. Your advisor could be in a call again, or decided to log off the system, when their scheduled work period has ended. So keeping your advisor on hold while you add credit is the easiest route to a complete and satisfying reading.
How long can I speak with my advisor?
This depends on the per-minute rate the advisor has posted. You will hear the rate when you add credit, so you will never be surprised how much 10 minutes with a certain advisor will be.
Example: You added $50 credit to your account; your chosen advisor posted a per-minute rate of $3.50 (the average rate at this time is $3.18) and your consultation lasted 10 minutes. 35 Dollars will be deducted from your account balance of $50 and you are left with a credit of $15.00 in your account to be used in your next reading either with this or another advisor.
The system will always calculate the accurate amount spent in a conversation by multiplying the per-minute rate of the advisor with the duration of the call (by the second) and deduct it from the credit in your account, any remaining credit will remain in your account for another call. Whenever you add credit you will always be made aware of your advisor's rate.
