Default Psychic readings--Predictions are not happening

I think when I started to get pscyic readings it took a while to find someone "who is good in that" There are all those websites out there and you may not right upfront to find a couple of good psycics. Most of us know basic rules when you want to get a reading: try to be relax, do not lie, do not dwell on predictions, do not call to many psycics within a short period of time and etc.

Now I am getting confused here. For example Online Psychic Readings & Relationship Advice by Phone | Keen.com has a bunch of psychics with extremely strong feedback from clients. When I contacted them I would say their accuracy was no higher than 10-15% Such website as www. psychicjunkie.net will have way too many postings about very poor accuracy.

I have tried the top dogs so to speak but still can't receive more or less a high accuracy. Some make more sence some less but predictions do NOT happen. And despite the fact that many psychics will say that time is difficult to predict, eventually it would become obvious that Prediction A or B simply won't happen at all. Again, when you have experience with this stuff and learn more and more you kinda get a felling how to determine who is good and who is not (in terms of psychic readings).

When you utilize reccomendation on how to receive an effective reading and use them and all you get like 10% accuracy (and we are talking about people who have extremely strong positive feedbacks) what are you suppose to think?

Any ideas?

I 'broke the rules' because I had 2 readings close together.

The face-to-face one I had was off. I think she did genuinely pick up a few things, but I think the rest was based on lucky guesses, clues picked up from my house and bluff. I had messages from apparently passed over relatives Dorothy, Jim and George - but I quizzed my family and we don't have those names in my family although they are common of the older generation!

However, I did have a phone reading from Erin - and it was spot on. I made notes and put them away to review after 6 months and it isn't up yet. But the insights I got into my current situation were hugely helpful.

Personally I steer clear of phone-line 'psychics'. A friend of mine got a job working on a tarot line and it was pure exploitation of vulnerable people. I don't know the site you link to so can't comment. Maybe they are genuine. If it isn't working for you, then walk away.

Default OP is back

OP is back here. I am totally agree with the above post about some phony people who may mislead you. I guess eventually you are learning how to differenciate. I see your point of not going back-to back with readings and I actually think it is very relevant and I am not the one who was doing it.

I have a particular story that happened a while ago.

My now EX-guy whom I dated was in a military. He was sent to Spain for 1 month training and then he was suppose to go somewhere else but was specific it wasn't Iraq or Afganistan. We were not in commited exclusive relationship, so of he didn't tell me a lot of stuff. When we lost a contact I tried to ask psychics on what happened. I definitely worried about him.

I think I had 4 on my list then and I believed they were very good based on their feedbacks and referrals from other individuals. They ALL saw us staying in touch while he was away. When it didn't happen they told me that he was in Iraq and all post-traumatic and was doing so poorly. Someone told me he won't be able to work when he comes back, another one said he would come home but it a cascet. I heard the stories ho he suffered that would make you puke. Stories what he feels when he sees wounded Iraqi kids. The details got very graphic. That was an explanation why he wasn't in touch with me and they asked me to understand those circumstances. I couldn't get hold of him.

Long story short. When he contacted me he immiediately said that he was NOT in Iraq and when I saw him face to face he was way too far from a one with PTSD. He was doing some routine military stuff on a standard US base overseas but was not in Iraq in any form or shape. Actually, as things turned out he had some commitment issues that has nothing to do with a war in Iraq. It was a while after he came back and contacted me. During those times (I thought he was in Iraq because psychics told me so) I have heard from "the top people" very very sad and diminishing stories about his sufferings. So, while I was hearing the stories he was already back, took vocation to Australia with his brother (I saw pics), Key West, FL with a couple of buddies and etc. He definitely had commitment issues that is why he was not in contact while away and didn't contact me shortly upon his arrival back to the US (but it is a different department)...

Don't go to phone psychics, they are not psychic. Any real psychic will be out working on his or her own.

Get recommendations from people who are happy with their psychics.

If you're paying by the minute, you're getting screwed.

If you're paying $10 or less for a reading expect to be told you are "cursed" and for $200 the psychic can remove the curse. Don't fall for that.

There are a lot of gifted psychics out there who don't charge a lot of money because they don't want to take payment for their "gift" so it is possible to find a great psychic for a low amount of money, but get a referral from a friend.

I've never been to those types of sites, but the feedback can certainly be faked. They all seem kind of "scammy" to me, like psychic phone lines. (Is that a word?)

It could be that the psychics you consulted were not particularly good at predictions or whatever you were asking them to do. All psychics have specialties and things they're not so good at.

I wrote an article explaining why I find predictions to be difficult to make: healingandinsight.com » Blog » Can you predict my future?

Something else that affects the answers...the quality of the questions you ask. An unspecific question can often yield a vague answer and specific questions tend to yield more specific answers.

Finally, remember that you get what you expect through the law of attraction. Hire someone who resonates with you, expect to have a good experience and you probably will.

The future is impossible to really read.. you could only get a "sense" of where the energy is going is my understanding.. and even then anyone of us on a dime can change that..

Here is a some documented future readings that are a sense of where things are going (this is not a personal prediction.. this is a global consciousness prediction(s))
- A nuke may go off in Israel
- Many future like EU agreements are coming between.. the u.s. Canada and Mexico and lot need to be done in south africa..
- Contact is expected around 2030 or so..
- A lot of information regarding Christ’s life and hidden documents will surface towards 2015 or so..

These are some of the probable futures coming from the sense of energy at the time of their taking.. some may come to pass; some may not.. I have documented them for real here in this text as evidence that they may or may not come to pass.. more than likely odds are more than 1 will happen..

It's basically a scam. Taking advantage of those who believe and are naive. Learn from this lesson.

Why do you really want to get a psychic reading?

What has happened that made you want to get a psychic reading?

What do you need to hear and why?

How will this psychic reading bring you closer to what you want?

What will this psychic reading actually change in reality?

What can you do right now to make yourself feel better
other than getting a psychic reading?


Now, instead of asking a psychic-
Pray for strength and ask that the truth be revealed to you.
Then, let it go and let it unfold.

Do the footwork and leave the results up to God.

I had 2 readings - somewhat close together, they were a few weeks apart - end up talking about the same person. I laughed it off because the whole situation seemed SO UNLIKE ME and like something I would NEVER DO. I laughed and told one of the readers "I'd never do that!" and she said, "When it happens, it'll make sense to you."

YEARS later - MANY years, 5 at the very minimum - that very situation happened. Between the two readers, the person and situation were described to a T. One of them even predicted the person's astrological sign correctly.

My most recent reading predicted that if I am still with my (then) partner in October, then I will have to choose between him and somebody else, because there is somebody else coming along for me by then.

I actually took this as one of the kicks in the butt to break up. There was plenty of impetus otherwise, just... it was one of those telling things. Acknowleding that I wanted totally different things in a partner than I was getting from the one I had. I had a choice of either being free for the universe to bring that relationship, or dealing with drama. I chose the drama-free option.

Floridagal,
For the longest time, I avoided using my gift because I was so accurate and couldn't handle the responsibility it brought. Then, I went through a very positive experience that changed my views and helped me go forward with my gift.

i know one particular place where you can get a psysic reading and free.

It is a forum about astrology to be more specific.It was there that somebody told me about his forum of development.i can assure you that they are all nice people and are starting to know their own potencialities in the physich area- that is mostly why they offered themselves to do the readings.

Just aks whatever you want to know - somebody certainly will offer you a reading.
