How do I apply to be a Mystery Guest?
We are seeking individuals who are age 30 and up who are comfortable opening up and sharing about their life experience - the good, the bad and the ugly. In order to be considered, (a) Sarah & Scott cannot know your birthday and (b) you must know your birth information including your EXACT time of birth as documented on your birth certificate. Please do not guesstimate or rely on your parents’ memory!
​
To apply to be a Mystery Guest on AstroDetectives, please email Scott Randall at AstroGuestInfo@gmail.com and complete the instructions and survey.​

How is the 'Red Herring' chart created?
We have a very sophisticated, highly advanced piece of technology called the AstroDetectives Random Chartifier Thingy™ built by our brilliant friend-of-the-show, Mikie.
​
The ADRCT is programed with a top-secret list of criteria (like “don’t overlap the Big 3” and a few other sneaky rules), then it takes the guest’s real birthday and whirls it through its cosmic gears.... and wahlah! Out pops a date and time (same location) within a 30-month window of the guest’s birth that creates a totally unique chart with a completely different vibe.​​​​
Why is the birth data missing from the Case Files?
Astrologers participating in the episode receive the complete birth data, however, all birth data is removed from the charts that we post publicly online for listeners in an effort to protect the personal data of our guests.
NEW! Paid Patreon Subscribers get access to the full charts with all the juicy birth data so you can plug and play at home using your favorite star system! Sign up at https://www.patreon.com/AstroDetectives

What is the goal Team Astrology is trying to meet?
Team Skeptic has challenged Team Astrology to meet or exceed 80% accuracy with matching the birth chart to the Mystery Guest. If that can be accomplished, Team Skeptic will concede that there must be a correspondence between the movement of the planets and earthly events.
​
​
If Team Astrology fails to meet 80% accuracy, is astrology debunked?
According to Scott, yes.
According to Sarah, no because astrology is already a valid phenomenon that exists regardless, and this experiment can only ever test the abilities of an astrologer, not the entirety of astrology itself.
