Psychic readings when going through separation

[PotsnPan]

I know this post will attract comments saying how ridiculous it is to believe in fortune telling/psychics etc however I’ve had a lot of readings in the past, some rubbish, some that knew things that I didn’t know myself/things they couldn’t have known (I never contact them via social media).

anyway just wondering whether anyone has had predictions from a psychic during their separation that were accurate/came true?

I saw a tarot reader 4 weeks after my separation and she was really accurate with her description of events. Went back to see her at the weekend, somehow managed to pull all of the same cards - similar reading to last time

just wondering about others experiences?

(NB, just as I wouldn’t question others beliefs, please don’t question mine - the lady I see only makes a very small profit compared to others)

Oh similar position here, been to 2 since i initiated split. They were very accurate in describing my husband and certainly knew details of things nobody could have known. Mostly i found it reassuring that they both said i would be ok that i wouldnt look back and they said he would be difficult at every turn and he definitely is being so. I hope they were right in all that they said for future🤞🏻🤞🏻

hi @27penny - were they in person readings? Where are you based, I’m in the northwest (looking for recommendations!)

I would separate from anyone who paid for such rubbish.

I know you said you don’t want anyone to comment with opinions on psychic readings but nobody can see into the future without guessing and you sound like you might be clinging to hope based on these readings. The only way to know you will be ok whatever happens is to work on your self-esteem and sense of self reliance. Then you won’t need anyone else to ‘predict’ you’ll be ok, you’ll know anyway.

I'd suggest getting a pack yourself and learning how to read them. That way if it is a waste of money, at least its just the one off payment. And you'll get more use out of them. Can take them out at parties at least lol.

It's easy enough to read for yourself as you know the context about your own life.

Not ridiculous at all! As long as they're a legitimate place and not getting information out of you in any other way

What a load of bollocks.

@MasterBeth and good evening to you too 😝

@Spinnybinny do you have any experience of them?

If they can tell your future you might as well ask them for the next lotto numbers.

Not a separation as such but friend and I went for readings. We went in separately and he immediately said to my friend that the man she was involved with was never going to be with her, he put it in nicer words but said he was using her, did not intend to ever be with her. My message was very different, about someone I’d lost.
My friend was involved with a married man, a serial philanderer.
If the Medium wasn’t genuine he could have swapped the messages around and they’d make no sense at all. And the serial philanderer was that, exactly.

I've been read my cards several times over the years, nothing back to back, and all have been free due to friends interested in the craft wanting to practice. The first reading was laughable, the final two were spot on. I didn't take any of them to heart because it's quite proven that your brain will make connections where none exist.

If you're looking for an honest opinion, the entire practice is meant to be spiritual and not literal so I think continuing to waste money on something that profits the reader is akin to paying your pastor/priest for listening to confessions. It's ludicrous.

If you're interested in continuing, I suggest you buy yourself a deck (or, as legend goes, have someone purchase/gift a deck to you) and do daily readings for yourself, chronicling the outcomes. You'll most likely lose interest soon enough or you'll have yourself a new hobby that won't strain your pockets.

I read mine from time to time too. Their use us not necessarily predict the future imo, but to raise things to your attention that you may not have considered, to allow you to deep dive into several options and how their outcomes may progress and to get you explore your own feelings regarding certain situations.

I'm not sure I would say spiritual...more like...mapping. Bringing chess pieces to your attention that you may not have considered.

Although to give them their due, they did very accurately predict a guy trying to con me recently tbf! Sometimes they're pretty spot on. So yeah that was fascinating.

But it's best to use them as just a method to help you process ideas imo. Because you have to remember- if you assume a spiritual influence, well there are good and bad elements out there then...so how do you know that if you change your actions based on what the cards say, that something good is influencing those cards, and not something that means you ill.

Be yourself and act as you intend to act. Irregardless of your readings. Just, maybe be on your guard more/more aware of certain things if they come up. Just incase it'll help.

I’ve been reading the tarot for years and when I look back at some of my readings they’ve been really accurate. I have read for friends for free and worked on a hotline for a couple of weeks but gave up as there are some people who only want to hear what they want, not what is staring them in the face. I had more than one person call where I didn’t even need to use the cards to tell them they were wasting their time on a no good man.

The tarot doesn’t really predict the future as nothing is set in stone. It can tell you possible outcomes if you continue on a certain path, so if that isn’t desirable you can change direction. A previous poster also suggested it’s like mapping and considering things that you may not have noticed, I’ve found that to be very true.
If you decide to read for yourself it can be a very interesting journey and it can help you look at things from a different perspective, they act as a mirror in a way.

What I will say though is be careful when reading for yourself when you are highly emotional and upset. As when I said they act like a mirror, you may find they reflect exactly what you fear and what you feel which will then make you feel worse! I learned that lesson the hard way lol. It’s best to read on certain subjects when you are not too attached to a certain outcome.

It takes years to learn and develop as a reader but is very rewarding and it’s a tool of empowerment. I don’t really tell many people I read tarot as it’s my hobby and over the years some people can be offended, scared or tell me I’m daft lol, which is fine as they’re entitled to their opinion.

My mum believes in all this stuff so she bought me a session once when i was having issues with a guy i was totally in love with.

I was told we’d have a long and happy relationship during my reading.

The guy killed himself a few years later.

The readers prey on vulnerable people who are going through a rough time, take advantage of them and tell them what they want to hear. I’d recommend spending your money on a couple of private therapy sessions instead, just to talk things through and what your next steps are. Trust your own instincts.

I sincerely believe psychics believe in what they do. They do not set out to harm you.

Since they are at best 10 % accurate please do not waste a pound over them. Learn to read Angel cards for you by Doreen Virtue. Do them on your own. Saves a great deal of dough that you now sorely need being a single income. In time you may even prefer being on your own like me. After a good few years that is.

I fell for this

Oh she made my future sound a-maze-ing !

I wasn't going to be single long . The man of my dreams was round the corner - the universe was bringing him closer and we couldn't miss each other - it was payback for all the shite I'd been through.

He was going to elevate me , we would be fine for money and I'd live in a nice house , he was self employed, nice watch she said .
She said my ex was mentally unwell and he had pissed the universe off - I'd see bad things start to happen around him and whilst I wouldn't gloat I'd say well there you go then mate .....
Nothing on the cards to say I had any health issues . All good . Future was rosy .

I practically skipped out of there £50 lighter .

4 years later . I'm still single having dated a host of losers , narcs, future fakers , and general dick heads . I'm off the dating scene now .
I live alone . My financial prospects aren't great .
And I have had health issue after health issue . This has caused weight gain , mobility issues , and I'm now a virtual hermit . I've had to pay a cleaner and home help - I'm still working but from home - which can't last forever.

So much for that bright rosy future !
Ex on the other hand met someone within 3 months me leaving, he moved her and her child in within a year , happy as Larry .

So no I'd not waste my time or money.

Truth is you can deal out your own cards in life. Pinning your hopes on vague predictive interpretations from deluded charlatans is a road to nowhere! Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. There is no higher order choosing our path in life. Ultimately you are in charge of your own destiny and how you chose to carve your future.

I went. and it couldn’t have been more wrong, but funnily it helped and turned out to be what I needed.

she said my h, who had walked out, would be back after three months and there was no one else.

of course there was someone else and he certainly didn’t come back.

But. In the moment of sheer heartache, it calmed me enough to keep going and function and then start to get angry at this selfish arsehole who hurt his children.

so by the time the 3 months were up (and of course nothing happened) I was able to keep going.

in the end it helped. Even though it was very wrong.

Please don't pin any hope or make decisions based on tarot readings. Please don't. Particularly not if the readings are direction you back into a relationship that has already proved to be unhappy.

Thought I’d update this thread - went to see another reader, completely different county, no connection to my previous reader, came recommended to me - checked out her reviews, over 600, all positive, saying predictions she’d made had occurred to the dates she’d predicted. I’ve also spoken to a work colleague who’s been to see her, as have her children, several times, she seems to be on point

saw her at the weekend, she described my situation to a tee, described my husband, and once again, for the third time, I pulled all the same cards.

She’s given me a little bit of hope in a very desperate time and even my mental health support have said that if it’s bringing me comfort, then there’s no problem.

So I ask again to any new readers on this thread, has anyone had positive experiences with psychics/mediums etc? Please no smart Arse comments - I get it, most people don’t believe, but I do, and I wouldn’t question the faith of others

If you believe it, why do you need positive confirmation that it's "true"? (Hint: it's not true)

@PotsnPan I'm not going to make smart arse comments, but do please think very carefully before you take any actions or make any serious life changes based on what this person told you.Please. You must have doubts if you're posting on here...

@MasterBeth because I’m not so deluded as to have faith in anything 💯

@CurlewKate thank you - I do have my doubts, which is why I posted. Also sadly looking for any port in a storm, although isn’t that the basis of most religions? 🙂

So you believe in this, but not 100%, so you only want to hear people who have had positive experiences, and then you will believe in it... more? This makes no sense at all.

What about people who have had negative experiences, or whose readings bear no resemblance to their lives, or found out that the person was a con artists, or deluded, or think it's a load of old bollocks. You don't want to hear those answers because..?
