“I usually don’t recommend itemized suggestions for getting ready for future events, but I will this time. Many of us has experience the curse of 2016 but let’s move on and make this 2017 a lot better!”

First, for those who would like some stock tips, with the government appointees that are being chosen, there will be some protectionist legislation which will be happening.  A lot of this protectionist legislation will set laws in place until 2026, when significant change happens in the congress.  So, my recommendation is that the Oil Company stocks will be good investments for a number of years, including Exxon/Mobil.

Part of this will be because the price of gasoline will be going up.  Part of this will be because the oil companies will have protection for expanding their business processes.  So, the oil company stocks will be lucrative.

Another recommendation, for those so inclined, the Automakers currently are selling large trucks and SUV’s, with little demand for small cars that get higher gas mileage.  This means now is the time to purchase smaller cars that get higher gas mileage.  Demand is down which means their prices will be down – with the newer and used vehicles.  This includes the smaller, more gas efficient pickups as well.

I’m still psychically seeing gas prices go up and up.  2017 is not going to be the year that the gas prices are double what they were in 2016, but that year will be coming around the corner.  There is a little time (2017) to move in the direction of preparing.  But, when the gas prices do go up, the demand and prices of small vehicles with higher gas mileage (and electric and hybrid cars) will go up again, also.  If you only drive a large SUV or low-mpg truck during that time, you’re going to feel it at the pump.

Meanwhile, for those of you who want to make greener investments, do so.  It is a good time to invest in alternative energy industries and green companies because it’s time to “put one’s money where one’s mouth is”.  Make your actions count.  Pick up the bat and step up to the plate.  If you consider the greener businesses worth having around, then get in the game.  We make our feelings and considerations real by investing our time, our energy, our intelligence in projects and even our money in these companies.  Don’t sit on the fence.  Pick one thing that you feel is important and if you’re not sure, then begin your involvement small to see how it works for you and your life.  Try it and see.

Remember, we’re all in this together.  The more people with our hands on the oars, rowing the boat in a certain direction, the stronger the forces to go in that direction.  There is the old saying, “Actions speak louder than words.”  There are plenty of people who speak many empty words loudly, but carry out little action.  We don’t need to speak loud words when our actions become strong enough to speak for us.  We can let our actions do the speaking.   Hope plus action causes manifestation.

Some of the action I recommend – prayer and meditation.  Both of these bring in more help than we can ever imagine.  When real help is needed, we can go to the One who can bring forth that real help.

Taromancy isnt something that we really heard most of the time but there’s a lot who uses and proven it to be real and true.

Taromancy: It is the most common and popular way to predict future. It is easy too and everyone use this way, you don’t have to have special traits all you need is the willingness to honor and develop your natural intuition. It only requires a tarot deck. Tarot deck is a deck of 78 picture cards that has been used for centuries to reveal hidden truths. In the past few years, interest in the tarot has grown tremendously. More and more people are seeking ways to blend inner and outer realities so they can live their lives more creatively. They have discovered in the tarot a powerful tool for personal growth and insight. The tarot can help you understand yourself better and teach you how to tap your inner resources more confidently.

The origin of the tarot is a mystery. We do know for sure that the cards were used in Italy in the fifteenth century as a popular card game. Wealthy patrons commissioned beautiful decks, some of which have survived. The Visconti-Sforza, created in 1450 or shortly thereafter, is one of the earliest and most complete.

Later in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the cards were discovered by a number of influential scholars of the occult. These gentleman were fascinated by the tarot and recognized that the images on the cards were more powerful than a simple game would suggest.They revealed (or created!) the “true” history of the tarot by connecting the cards to Egyptian mysteries, Hermetic philosophy, the Kabbalah, alchemy, and other mystical systems.

The tarot is most commonly viewed as a tool for divination. A traditional tarot reading involves a seeker – someone who is looking for answers to personal questions – and a reader – someone who knows how to interpret the cards. After the seeker has shuffled and cut the deck, the reader lays out the chosen cards in a pattern called a spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning, and each card has a meaning as well. The reader combines these two meanings to shed light on the seeker’s question.

Have you ever wanted to visit a fortuneteller and wondered if she was legit or fake? It is like any other profession. Some are better than others are. Some are real and some will scam you, just like the other profession. All you need do is make a little research and once you find that person then you need to cooperate. Did you know you could affect your reading too?

It is how you regard the experience. If you go in all giggly about it, then you won’t be able to ask about real issues. Every one of us has some natural intuition. It’s that gut feeling that warns you not to trust someone or avoid going down a dark alley. Sometimes it seems like common sense, but other times there is no explanation.

I’ve experienced many different fortunetellers and most of them were authentic.  My first visit occurred when my failure to get into a movie premiere left me waiting for the next show. I decided to see a palm reader next door. She told me I was between two men a dark one and a blonde one. My boyfriend was the dark one, but the blonde one intrigued me. I paid the woman, slipped out through the curtains, but didn’t leave.  I eavesdropped on the next reading and discovered the woman had the same fortune.

Sometimes people without any real talent for the business will tell people what they want to hear. Most of us want to hear about love, fame and wealth. Walking the neighborhood almost a dozen years later, I stumbled across a Tarot reader and decided to try again. The skinny man dressed all in black did not fit my view of what a fortuneteller should look like. He chain-smoked all through the session too.

I left frustrated at the reading. He’d told me I’d find love despite the wedding ring on my hand. There was also mention of returning to school to get a job, but I already had my degree and a job. More than a year later, I was out of work and divorced. I did have to go back to school and eventually fell in love. The fortune I dismissed was actually mine.

Recently, I visited a psyche in a resort town not expecting too much.  I’d get as much use out of the visit as the fudge sold at the half dozen stores surrounding her.  As usual, I didn’t give any clues or hints to assist the reading, but I did shuffle the cards leaving my essence on them.

I sat in amazement as I heard my current life told from my children, marriages, career choices and health. The psychic even told me the entire plot of a book that was only in the concept stage. As for the questions I had, she answered them too.

Some people put out glowing palm signs to make money, but have no real talent. How do you differentiate between authentic and posers? Your less talented individuals will look for outward signs. One palm reader told my husband that he was very athletic and played football as a kid based on his current build.  Actually, he never played football. This type of comment would be spot on for about 65% of the male population. Your own intuition will assist you. If you’re ill at ease, don’t do it. If the reader tries to coerce you into a visit, move on and find someone else. A truly talented individual already knows if you’re coming in.  Recommendations are always a good way to pick a reader. People will talk about a reader whose predictions proved true.

The majority of the fortunetellers are gifted.  They want to use their talent to help others.    If information in the reading upsets you, you’re free to reject it.  Often armed with foreknowledge you can change your present and your future. How you choose to react to reading is your choice.

It can be a surprise to know that there are several ways to tell a fortune.  But when you go through the list below, you’d be surprised, too that you have heard about most of them.   Let’s take a look at these methods and read briefly about each one.  It does not hurt to have some idea about what your psychic or your fortune teller is doing while you are in a reading with them.

Omens 

Whether we know it or not, we all use omens.   Often, things that used to be deeply significant omens remain with us as superstitions. Black cats (or white ones depending on your culture) crossing your path as a sign of bad luck, feathers where they shouldn’t be as a message from your angels. There is also the one about black cockatoos signifying either days of rain or days till rain. Omens will often be most significant to you based on culture. Another would be one from a tribe of the aborigines where when a willy wag its tails at you is the same as someone pointing a bone at you which is equivalent to an ill omen.  

Runes 

This is a method not to mess around with. Runes are serious business. These are one of the few methods of fortune telling you don’t muck around with if you do not know your way around it. I do think they cross the line from simple fortune telling into outright divination. The difference being that you do tap into something outside yourself when you use runes.  It’s best to take your study of runes very seriously. Make sure when you use them you do so with the clearest of intentions and make sure you’ve learned how to protect yourself with psychic shields. That said, they are incredibly accurate. They will tell you about some of the hardest lessons you have to learn. You must be prepared to grow as a person when you use Runes. Runes simply won’t accept less than the very best of yourself.

Geomancy

This method involves closing your eyes and randomly making eight sets of lines with dashes. What you end up with, when done correctly is two of the geomantic figures with cool names like Cauda draconis and Albus. Geomancy is a very deep and very ancient study that is well worth the time. The first method mentioned here is probably the simplest for easy fortune telling, but for deeper readings there are many ways to generate the figures with this method.

I Ching or Book of Changes

This is a method that points to ancient Chinese who have spent their whole lives studying the I Ching and who still find mysteries within mysteries. The Book of Changes answers questions by being so convoluted that you spend so much time trying to figure out how the answer applies to the question you’ve asked that you end up answering it yourself just to make it all fit. Of all the fortune telling methods it probably has the longest unbroken history going back some 5000 years. And make no mistake it has worked for all that time. It might be safe to say that the I Ching is not something you just dabble in. It’s a life long study. It deserves it’s place as one of the best methods of fortune telling on any list.

Oneiromancy

The fine art of dream interpretation. Dreams can and are many things all at once. They can be predictive but they are also our brains processing information, or trying out different scenarios to see how we will react, or simply noise from the day that won’t shut off even in your sleep. The trouble is telling which is what. Dream journals are invaluable but who has time to keep one? You have to write them as soon as you wake up or they just don’t stick around long enough. It is not unheard of that some people will record their dreams by speaking into a voice recorder, before the memory of it can fade away.  There are some universal symbols like a building being yourself and a car or journey representing your life, but nothing about dream interpretation is set in stone. You’ll dream far more often than usual about driving if you are a race car driver or simply drive for a living than if you are a stay at home person.

Scrying

This is the method that seems to scare most people, according to experienced psychis. Maybe it’s the strange trance like state you have to be in to see anything, maybe it’s just the nature of seeing things in flame or water or clouds or whichever you choose as your scrying medium. When people think gypsy fortune tellers looking into a crystal ball they are thinking about scrying. It’s hard to do because Scrying works by opening up your mind so make sure you’ve learnt how to ground and protect yourself before you try it. Alas, there’s no other way to learn than by just doing it – practice, invoke your inner spirit and energy.   There’s no books, or list of interpretations. It’s just you and your ability to trust yourself. In some ways it’s the scariest of fortune telling methods because the catch is that you have to have people to practice on but you can’t practice till you have some idea of what you are doing.  It is suggested that beginner can start with flames. A night camping sets the right mood and the camp fire is the best place to start.

Palmistry

This is probably one of the most popular methods.  Even the biggest sceptic will often thrust their hand at you with a challenge “Go on then, read mine,” It works. Always read a person’s dominant hand – that’s the one they write with. Their non dominant hand is ‘what they were born with’ and their dominant one is ‘what they’ve made of what they were born with’. Contrary to popular belief, palms do change. Try photocopying your hand once a year to see how much you’ve changed. Which lines have gotten stronger and which have started to fade. Read lots of different books on the subject because not one palmist has all the answers.   It is not a method that tells when someone going to die when people ask you.

Astrology

Everyone knows their star sign even if they know nothing else about anything remotely new age or paranormal or occult. Some of us aren’t 100% sure because of being born on a cusp. No you can’t be half Gemini half Taurus if you were born on a cusp because the Sun was either in one sign or the other. You’d need to check an ephemeris to be sure. What most people don’t realise is that our sun sign is just a small fraction of what we are. It might be the way that other people see you but the reality is that we all have every planet in our charts at some point. It’s the combination of those that make us who we are. Other people often see us as our sun sign but our moon sign is the next most powerful thing closely followed by our ascendant (what sign was rising over the horizon when we were born). Those of us that don’t think we fit the typical image of our sun sign often have very different moon sign and ascendants. I’ll admit that I have only scraped the surface of studying astrology. I got to the bit where there was a lot of maths and sort of shelved it for a later that hasn’t come yet. Suffice it to say, there was a good reason why the ancients considered their astrologers the scientists of their day.

Cartomancy

Cartomancy is reading fortunes with a deck of cards. Like palmistry, this is also a method popular to clients.  That’s any sort of cards, be they tarot or oracle or playing cards. It is recommended because there is a loose framework of rules plenty of wiggle room within that framework.  Tarot cards come highly recommended, too, because of the art work.  It is easy to bounce off that art and let your senses soar with what the art tells you. Tarot is the most famous of course, but other decks exist. Quite a lot of psychics go very well with Doreen Virtues decks. Some experts think that’s because her decks are so soft and lovely that it makes it easier for the querent to be receptive to what the psychic is saying.

Tasseography 

This method uses Tea Leaves or Coffee Grounds.  Experts say that this is a method that works best when passed down through family generations. It would be hard to write a book about what those wet sploges actually mean because what looks like a baseball bat to you might be a club to someone else. It’s highly interpretative. But like most fortune telling methods the only way to get good at it is to practice, write it down and keep on practicing.  Some experts in the field would say it is one of the most fun methods because of course it involves sitting down for a lovely cup of tea or nice coffee. It is also suggested that this method works more for the highly psychic who just need to be looking at something in order to access that ability.

If you are already starting out, there would definitely be methods you will you are most comfortable with and your energy is most receptive to.  This isn’t exactly a fad so there is no need to jump from one method to another because it is the most ‘popular one’.  Find where you ability works best with.  Good luck!

I have dependably been exceptionally inquisitive about fortune telling, and I have spent a fortune on having readings myself, throughout the years! It jumped out at me to solicit the blessed messengers what they think from it and whether they think it works.

I am curious. Does fortune telling actually work? Can people predict other people’s futures? Is it ever really helpful? If it does work, which kind is best? Tarot? Palmistry? Tea leaves? And how do you know if the fortune teller that you go to is any good?

Dearest one, there are several answers to your questions! Firstly, does fortune telling work?
At times, yes it does. At times, one person will be able to accurately predict what will happen to another person. And at other times, the predictions that are made might not ‘come true’ or may happen in ways that have not been predicted. And so, you might well ask in what circumstances does fortune telling work and in what circumstances does it not?

The truth is that you are constantly shifting and changing what ‘happens’ to you. The things that appear in your ‘future’ today may not actually happen. You may change something in your own approach to your life, or in your belief system or in your energy field that results in a different outcome to the one that has been predicted.
You may decide that the outcome is not one that you would like to experience, and you might make changes that prevent it from happening.

It is a very interesting question, this one of ‘fortune –telling’ and not only whether it is accurate but also whether it is useful.

Some of you have made decisions before you came into your physical bodies, decisions about events and circumstances that you will definitely experience, and that you have incorporated into the overall ‘plan’ for your life. You may have decided to experience success in a certain field, such as the performing arts or politics or working in the media, and this success might seem to just ‘fall into place’ for you, without any apparent struggle or concern on your part. When you have a strongly held choice of life path, it can be easy for a person who has developed his or her intuitive skills to ‘read’ this about you. It is as if you are wearing this energy in your field. Some of you wear the energy of prosperity, some of fame, some of caring for children, or love of nature. There are all kinds of energies that you can ‘wear’ and they can be seen by people who percieve energy. The energies associated with conflict or struggle or anger or sadness can also be strong and easy to read. Quite often, people will be afraid to visit a ‘fortune teller’ in case they hear something that is unpleasant, something that they do not wish to experience. It is important to realise that even though you may be wearing the energies of challenging or unhappy experiences in your energy field, they are not ‘stuck’ to you, you are not stuck with them! In these situations, a fortune teller can actually be useful in shining a light on areas of concern that can then be healed and resolved and transmuted. The energy of your soul is always loving and compassionate and joyful, the energies of anger and sadness and fear are not emanating from your soul, they come from your mind, and the way in which it filters and interprets what has already happened in your life and in the lives of other people. When you come to experience the pure energy of your soul and it’s consciousness you will know that it is always at ease and at peace. When your mind is not at peace, you know that you are not experiencing the pure energy of your soul, so in fact these unpleasant feelings act as an excellent barometer of your level of consciousness. And so to answer your question about whether fortune tellers can be useful, the answer is yes, they can. They can help you to see what is happening in your own unconscious mind and how it might be influencing what is happening in your life. If your fortune teller predicts something that delights you and pleases you, this can help you to move in the direction of creating this event or situation that brings you a joyful feeling. The only thing to remember in this situation is not to be discouraged if the happy event does not happen as quickly or in the same way that it has been predicted! We have seen people become despondent when the handsome stranger or the wonderful new job does not materialise exactly as they have been told it will, and they have become ‘down-hearted- and disappointed as a result. In these situations it is important to keep creating the event in your imagination, feeling the feelings that you associate with it and watching out for any limiting beliefs or behaviours that are holding you back from the experience that you desire to create.

In answer to your final question about which kind of fortune-teller to use, we would strongly suggest that you use your own inner compass to guide you in the direction of the one who is right for you. Any and all of the techniques that are commonly used can be useful, for they are merely tools, it is the intention and the intuitive skills of the fortune-teller that are important!

As you consider the person, whether you are looking at them in the flesh, or merely looking at their advertisement, see if you get a feeling from them. Generally you will get a strongly uplifting feeling if the person is right for you and can be helpful to you. If you get no feeling at all, it may be neither the right time nor the right person for you to consult. If you get a feeling of your energy being lowered, or a feeling of fearfulness or sadness or anxiety we would likewise suggest that this person is not going to be helpful to you at this time. Even if the fortune teller needs to bring you some ‘bad’ news in order to help you to resolve something, the feeling that you get from the person will always be an uplifting feeling, and this is your own soul’s way of guiding you to make the choices that can most benefit you on your path. We trust that these answers have shone a light on your questions!

Fortune telling is normally associated with Tarot Cards, however, experts in the field say one can also fortune tell with the use of ordinary playing cards.  Fortune telling or foreseeing the future of a person’s life and sometimes the past comes along with it, too – in the modern world, performing future telling with a deck of ordinary playing cards has become popular.

The Spanish naipes and the Italian/Sicilian, the tarot cards, the standard (French/English) deck of 52 cards are practically the three major categories in the field of fortune telling with playing cards.  With these major categories, the cards are divided into three equal sections to explain the meaning of the fortune telling cards.  The astrological associations would be the first, key words second, the numerical significance would be the third.  Research on the topic indicate that the use of playing cards in lieu  tarot because in the olden days, they were used a lot in fortune telling and are known to be an integral part of true tarot cards.  It is learned that two decks of cards were split apart at a given point of time to create a deck of fortune playing cards. The significance of these cards have emerged into existence since 16th century Europe and was probably started by the Romany, otherwise known as the Gypsies.

So, you will begin by gathering a deck of 52 playing cards – these technically have been derived from the deck of 78 tarot cards.  Separate the deck of 52 cards such that you simply end up with a deck of 32 playing cards. Following cards should result: aces, kings, queens, jacks, sevens, eights, nines and tens.  Playing cards have associated meanings with each representation. With that being said, just understanding the playing card meanings isn’t enough, one must also understand the meanings and combination altogether. Like the numbered cards represent the phases of one’s life, on the other hand the court cards like kings and queens symbolize people in your life.

To start off with the laying process, begin to shuffle your cards swiftly as you continue to think the problem or question in your mind. Then lay them on the table before you. Now follow these simple steps for a session of fortune telling with playing cards:

• For one rapid question, draw out one card to get a simple and quick answer.
• Basically a spread consists of drawing three cards: the 1st card depicts the past. The 2nd card depicts the present situation. The 3rd unveils the future outcome.
• If you wish to draw a broader spread of playing cards, try drawing three cards for each of the following category: Your family. Yourself. Your friends. What you expect. What you unhoped. The result.
• Form your self categories pertaining to the yours set of questions.

Then, study and comprehend the suites.  Hearts: As the name suggests, cards with denote emotions, tenderness and feelings for sentimental situations.   Diamonds: Diamonds are generally the symbol of prosperity and good money. Also, a freedom and security from financial troubles.  Spades: Spades aren’t cast out cards. They denote the gravity of a situation and help you to understand to pay heed to solve a problem.  Clubs: Clubs are cards that delineate paperwork and communication. Everything from a verbal conversation to an electronic mail.  

Now, review the ways of denomination.  Entity of Aces – A multiple of aces denote decision making. If black cards turn up, the decision is tough, if red turn up its easy. The ace of diamonds denotes a gift or card. The ace of spades, phew! Well it’s NOT a spell card!! The ace of hearts upside down denotes location away from home and right side up denotes, location at home. The ace of clubs denotes contact.

Entity of Kings – Usually a multiple of king cards stages documentation work like will, deed or tickets. The king of diamonds denotes red, fair or gray haired man. The king of spades denotes dark man. The king of hearts denotes a blond man. The king of clubs denotes brown haired man.

Entity of Jacks – Jacks stage communications not undertaken in a while. The jack of diamonds denotes an untrustworthy person. The jack of spades denotes an unmarried human. The jack of hearts denotes a stranger or a lover either or both. The jack of clubs denotes a friend.

Entity of Seven – Seven times a phase of time, day, week, month and year. Number seven cards represent time period and also the domains which are going to get affected in your life.

Entity of Eight – Eight eight shows the change! Yes, they are the cards of change and movement. It will tell you several fields of your life-part. The eight of diamonds denotes money. The eight of spades denotes different places in your life where you are going to be there in near future. The eight of hearts denotes love. The eight of clubs denotes a phone call or letter.

Entity of Nine – Nine nine change of mind! In a multiple nines if there are more blacks than the red ones, a change of mind is likely to take place faster. The nine of diamonds denotes surprise. The nine of spades denotes disapproval. The nine of hearts denotes your heart’s desire. It’s one of the best card amongst the entire deck. The nine of clubs denotes new information.

Entity of Ten – These cards usually depict traveling. The ten of diamonds denotes huge sum of money. The ten of spades denotes an occurrence which would take place on the present day. The ten of hearts denotes entertainment and party. The ten of clubs denotes hospital or professional building.

Now, continue mastering these basics and to practice as well.  With practice comes familiarity with the ways and denomination of an ordinary deck of playing cards to fortune telling.
