What Actually Happens in an Online Psychic Reading?

If you've ever wondered whether an online reading is real, scripted, or just expensive small talk — fair questions. Here's the straight version.

Inside Astrology points you to AskNow, where you pick an advisor — love and relationships, career, tarot, astrology, dreams — and talk to them by phone or live chat. Advisors list their own specialties and rates, so you choose who feels right before you spend anything.

A few honest caveats before you click anything:

  • A reading is guidance and perspective, not a guarantee. Anyone promising you a specific outcome is selling you something — us included. We don't.
  • Prices vary by advisor. We don't print rates here on purpose; they change, and what matters is what your advisor charges for your session.
  • AskNow's site currently leads with introductory readings at $1 a minute, plus free minutes on select introductory packages — check the current offer on their site before you sign up, since offers change.

We're an affiliate, not the platform. The link below takes you to AskNow's own site, where you can see the current intro offer before you sign up.

FAQ

Is AskNow legit?

Read advisor reviews yourself before you commit, and close the chat if it isn't a fit — you're never locked in.

How much does a reading cost?

It depends on the advisor you pick. You'll see each advisor's rate on their profile before you start.

Do I need to know my birth chart first?

No. Astrology readings go deeper if you know your time of birth, but a general chat works fine for a first session.

Phone or chat?

Both — pick whichever you're more comfortable with.
