  1. The booking

    The client books a 90-minute birth chart reading, with their birth details in the notes.

  2. The call

    Zoom makes the call, and the join link is in the client's confirmation email.

  3. The client's page

    You pin their birth details on their contact, and the reading is listed there.

  4. The invoice

    You bill the reading. A card payment is recorded on the invoice by itself.

  5. The recording

    After the call, the recording and your summary go to the client by a secure link.

  6. The follow-up

    A follow-up a month before their birthday reminds you to offer a solar return reading.

Questions astrologers and tarot readers ask

Can clients book a reading online?

Yes. Your meeting page lists your readings with their length and description. A client picks a day and a free time, and enters their name and email address. They book without signing up first. Magpie emails them a confirmation with a calendar file.

Can I offer a short tarot reading and a long birth chart reading?

Yes. Each reading is a Meeting Type with its own name, length and description. A length can be anything from 15 minutes to 2 hours. A 30-minute three-card reading and a 90-minute birth chart reading are two Meeting Types.

Can clients give me their birth date, time and place when they book?

Yes. The meeting page has a Notes box. A Meeting Type's description can ask for the birth details there. The notes are in the email Magpie sends you about the booking. They are on the reading's page and in the list of meetings too.

Will a client in another country see my times in their own time zone?

Yes. The meeting page shows times in the client's time zone, taken from their browser. It names their zone, and yours when it differs. The confirmation shows the time in both zones, and their email uses theirs.

Does each reading get its own video link?

Yes, with Zoom connected. Each new reading gets a Zoom call. The client's confirmation email has the join link, and your notification has the host link. With Google Calendar connected instead, a reading gets a Google Meet link.

Will my own plans keep times off my booking page?

Yes. A time is not offered when it overlaps another reading or an event in your Calendar. While Google Calendar is connected, its busy times are blocked too. Your readings can be added to Google Calendar with the client invited.

Can a client get a reminder before their reading?

Yes, by text, when text reminders are on. A client with a US or Canadian number ticks Text me a reminder as they book. They get one text before the reading, at the time you choose.

How do clients pay for a reading?

You send the client an invoice for the reading. The email has a Pay online button, and they pay by card. The money goes to your own Stripe account, and the payment is recorded on the invoice. Magpie adds no fee; Stripe's processing fee applies.

Can I sell a package of three readings?

Yes. An invoice line can have a quantity, such as three readings at your price. The client pays the whole package by card from the email. Reminders go out until it is paid.

Can I bill a client who has a reading every month?

Yes. A recurring invoice issues and emails the same lines every month, quarter or year. You can pause it, change its lines or end it. Reminders go out until each invoice is paid.

Where do I keep each client's birth details?

On the client's contact, in a note you pin. A pinned note stays near the top of their page. The page also lists every reading they booked with you, every invoice and your dated notes.

Who can see my clients' birth details and notes?

In Personal, a client's page and its notes are yours alone. In a team, the members who use Contacts can read them. Secure Files encrypts files in your browser. Magpie stores them as data it cannot read.

Can I send the client the recording of their reading?

Yes. Secure Files keeps a recording made in Zoom, and sends it by a secure link. A file can be up to 2 GB. The link expires when you choose, and the client downloads the file without signing up.

Can I send a written summary after the reading?

Yes. The summary goes by its own secure link, as a PDF. The link can allow one download and ask for a passphrase. You give the passphrase separately, such as in a message.

Can I remind myself to offer a solar return reading before a client's birthday?

Yes. A follow-up on the client's page has a date and a reason. It is a To-do with the usual reminders. Follow-ups lists every open one as Overdue, Today or Upcoming.

Can I sell written chart reports?

Yes. A paid Form takes the order: the birth date, time and place, and the fee. The client pays by card on Stripe's page. Each order is emailed to you and marked Paid. Magpie's fee on a paid Form is 1% of each payment.

Can I sell PDF guides and recorded readings as downloads?

Yes. A digital product delivers its files after payment: a PDF, an MP3 or an MP4. Each file can be up to 500 MB. You can set how many days and how many times a buyer can download it.

Where do buyers find what they bought?

The confirmation email lists the files by name, and its button opens the order. The order is kept in a Magpie account for the email address they gave. Every file they bought from you is under Your downloads.

Can I record a reading for a client without a live call?

Yes. Screen Recorder records your screen, with the client's chart on it, your camera and your voice. Share by email sends it to the client. You can see how far they watched.

Can people pay monthly for my forecasts?

Yes. Supporters gives you a page with a free tier and paid tiers charged monthly by card. Each month's forecast is a post for the tiers you choose. Magpie's Supporters fee is 3% of each payment, and Stripe's fee applies.

Can I keep the full forecast for paying supporters?

Yes. A post can be for everyone, for all supporters, for paying supporters or for chosen tiers. Readers it is locked for see its title, cover and excerpt, never its text.

Can I send a weekly horoscope by email?

Yes. Newsletter gives you a sign-up page with double opt-in. You write each issue in Markdown, send yourself a test and schedule it. Sending starts within a minute of the time you set.

Can I run classes online or in person?

Yes. Each class is an event on your public calendar, a tab of your meeting page. RSVPs stop once the seats you set are taken. A paid Form can take the class fee by card. You close it when the class is full.

Can clients book a reading with me at a shop?

Yes. Appointments gives you a booking page for the days you read at the shop. The shop is the reading's location. A buffer keeps time free between readings. The client can move or cancel from their confirmation email, until the notice you set.

Can people at a psychic fair find my booking page?

Yes. A QR code on your table opens your meeting page or your horoscope sign-up. A dynamic code can point somewhere else later, and its page counts the scans.

Can I post my card of the day?

Yes. Social Media schedules posts to Bluesky, Mastodon and LinkedIn at the time you choose. For Instagram, Magpie reminds you and opens the post filled in.

What does Magpie take from my payments?

Magpie adds no fee to invoices or to your shop's sales. Its fee is 3% on supporters' payments and 1% on a paid Form. Stripe's processing fee applies to every card payment. The rest goes to your own Stripe account.
