I just got a reading from a reader on Etsy. It was a question about me and someone else. How accurate are these types of readings?

Good question! 😊 I have a bit of experience (as a customer who has gotten readings, who knows a lot of others who do this line of work and as a reader/psychic myself) so I’ll share some tips and knowledge hopefully that will be helpful to yourself and others who are new to this type of spiritual stuff too that might stumble upon this 👍

How accurate are tarot/psychic readings;
If you get it done by someone with experience and who knows what they’re doing, about 80-90 percent usually.
There is always free will, which is changing things constantly. Yours and others. The readers predications just tell you the most likely outcome if nothing changes at that point in time you got the reading.
But NEVER 100 percent all the time, never expect that, even by the best readers and psychics in the world (my mentor is INCREDIBLE and even she’s been off a couple times) because nobody is ever 100 percent perfect, at ANYTHING they do. People need to be realistic when getting a reading, it’s just like with anything, even the best basketball player in the world will miss a shot. Olympic runners will trip etc. I stress this because people are so quick to judge when they themselves don’t understand how this works and don’t do it, if you aren’t right 100 percent all the time; you’re a fake etc. Lol it’s ridiculous, because ANY OTHER line of work or skill, it’s ok. A singer has a voice crack, nobody is saying she can’t sing. Especially considering the nature of this type of work. It’s not an easy thing to do.
In order to connect, spirit (this is different for everyone, some use ancestors, angels, spirit guides or even darker beings for some etc. but the point is it’s energy that isn’t of our human vibration) has to lower its vibration, and the reader or psychic has to raise theirs in order to “connect” and be able to receive and relay the info/msgs. This is the same with tarot, in order to pick the right cards and then interpret those cards correctly. (Btw any good tarot reader IS connecting to spirit whether they realize it or not. You’re not just picking the right cards “by chance”!! lol NO spirit is helping you! So make sure you’re THANKING them and acknowledging them 😊👍.)
There are a lot of variables to take into account, if you didn’t get enough sleep (this is the biggest one for me lol and most others I know too, would you like to try sleep hearing and seeing spirits? No lol we get crazy dreams sometimes too that wakes us up and we can’t go back to sleep right away), eat properly that day, sick, or getting sick, stressed out, worried about your own issues, distracted etc. this all lowers your energetic vibration, and so the reader is a lot more likely to misinterpret the msgs and not be able to connect as well at that time.
So I suggest everyone to be more kind/understanding to other readers and psychics, it’s not always a gift and tends to be a curse too, we’re still only human and we are doing “inhuman” things lol trying to connect to spirit which is a very tough thing to do, still as a human. That requires a great deal of focus and energy and is very taxing on our human bodies. Don’t have unrealistic expectations, just because someone has the gift doesn’t mean they’re going to be 100 percent accurate all the time, if they are even 50 percent, that’s a good psychic!!! Most people can’t predict or pick up 5 percent accurate info if they don’t have some sort of psychic ability.
And lastly, maybe the most important thing I would advise anyone NOT to do when going to a psychic or tarot reader, online or not; is that lot of people get angry, defensive, argumentative, or petty when a reader tells them something they don’t want to hear and either then attacks them or their character/abilities etc. I’ve had this happen personally so often and I hear about it from my friends too. This is VERY risky.... don’t be that person! Please! Just because you don’t believe in this stuff, or that person, you don’t TRULY know what they’re really capable of... and you don’t want to have to find out the hard way. Unfortunately lot of people use their gifts for bad or selfish/greedy reasons and motives. If you can connect to good beings, you can just as easily connect to the bad ones if you want. Trust me. & You **** the wrong psychic off, you have a much bigger problem on your hand. Curses are real, black magic is real. I have a lot of friends and mentors in the spiritual community... and everyone has their own values and belief systems, some of which includes, if you attacked them and their abilities/character first by getting salty with your reading or them and showing disrespect, they might just hex your ass to prove a point to you, like you didn’t believe me then well let’s see if you believe THIS; and now your sorry ass wakes up and your hair is falling out or you’re violently throwing up to the point you pass you, or worse... DON’T TAKE THAT CHANCE. It’s not worth it.
Safe stay people 👌. Your wounded ego/pride because of what they told you, accurate or not, isn’t worth it. If you didn’t like the reading, just say thank you, leave, don’t go to them again and try another one. The reason why so many do this is because what are YOU going to do about it? Sue them? Charge them? Iol if you go to the police or doctor and tell them “so and so cursed me” they will tell you you’re crazy. It doesn’t hold up in a court of law. You have NO proof, there’s no evidence like at a murder scene, except what you’re claiming and people are not going to believe you enough to even try look into it. This is why so many people do it, because they know they’re going to get away with it. That’s a powerful concept; people stop themselves from punching other when they’re mad because they know there are consequences, but what black magic etc. there’s not. The only thing stopping them is their character and morals, if they have any. Most average people hardly do, and psychics are still people, so remember that. They get angry and their feelings hurt too.

Some other tips when hunting for a good psychic and avoiding the bad (evil ones); if you can see or meet them in person this is best. Because you’ll be able to get a feel of their energy, trust your gut! If you feel off or scared, RED FLAG! If they take you into a basement and they keep it darker and not well lit, RED FLAG, (it’s easier to connect to darker/lower level beings this way, you don’t want a psychic who uses these types of energy for their info), and most important, and not well known or spoken about but SO important because this is a TRUE insider tip, we psychics know this, look at the eyes. If their LEFT eye is discoloured or off, in any way, RUNNNN! Left is always bad. This is showing up because their connected to and work with bad energy/spirits.
Try find someone of your same cultural background, meaning if you’re African American, find an African reader. If you’re Native American, try find a Native American reader etc. This is because you’ll be able to connect better with them since you already have a connection in common and your ancestors will feel more comfortable and familiar with their energy, especially the ancient ancestors and you might even have an ancestor in common. A bonus is that if you want to get more into your own heritage and spiritual practices, they can probably give you some tips if you ask 😊
And last tip, if they tell you that you’re “cursed” as they can help you with that (aka money) also run. Because I promise, YOU’LL KNOW when you’re cursed. No if, ands, or maybes about it. So if you didn’t think that before, they’re trying to scam you for more money. The evil psychics do this.

Hope this helps anyone who reads this, I really hope it does, that’s why I took the time out to write all this, it’s not said or shared nearly enough, so please take it seriously, I HATE reading or hearing about people being scammed or worse, ******* off the wrong people and them paying for it when if maybe they just would have been forewarned that it could happen, they could have avoided it 🤦‍♀️. (Btw if you’re reading this and you just so happen to be one of those people who did this to me, you know who you are, all the more reason to be more careful in the future. You got lucky with me that I have a strong moral compass and don’t subscribe to those practices and I’m not as petty/spiteful as you are and had tolerance for your ignorance, but karma is a very real thing keep that in mind, and you might not be so lucky with the next person you ask for a reading if you continue to behave in the ugly manner that you do, you’re just asking for it).

Wow luna!
Thank u for sharing this. I know many ppl that had bad situations after visiting some psychics.. i always tried to be at least polite with them...and the mayority of them had that unpelasant energy i didn't like at all. Scorpio intense but with obscure intentions.
So shameful that someone has a gift and is aware of big life pictures, but still- falls down when ego or vanity is touched, instead of to understaind and act on high vibration.
I see that in many astrologers, who are arguing like peasants on the market, throwing to each other natal aspects (but that's funny thou), shaming and things like that. It's so reppeling.

Stay as u are, pure and honest

I know some ppl doing healing.. bioenergy, reiki etc.. but, some of them have something i cant put my finger on, but feel smths not right.
And they do the healings. Have power, and talk nice, but i dont trust them.

One of them was very close to me and i always had that feeling and still feel bad and ashamed, bc i think that's my projection over that person.
She says and does everything correctly, but idk, i feels something in her look. I know she knows a lot, maybe i see that and im scared of that...

Yes pocket rocket! Trust your instincts, they never lie.
And yes I know lots who have too, that’s why I wanted to write this, it needs to be known. People need to be aware of the realities.
There are lots of bad people in the world. You have to be careful! Make sure you protect yourself and your energy 😊😇❤️.

There's another thing. I don't want to act like grammar natzy, but when I see some psychic or medium or astrologer, who is semi-literal, who lacks education or has one-but somehow missed to learn proper spelling or grammar - instant turn off.
I can't trust someone who is illiterate. Esp.regarding astrology. It's not just an intuitive gift, you have to read/learn a lot.

In my oppinion ppl who find spirituality as their path, suffered a lot in life, had many challenges, had need to reach something bigger, beyond, find patterns, meaning, purpose or reason.. and strength.
It's not so uncommon to feel some dark in them. It's something that is present, you cannot run from yourself, but purified with lifestyle and spiritual practices those energies may be altered on another level. I don't judge. Everyone has jin/jan inside. My previous post refers to their blurry intention when doing some things.

And here, on this forum, I don't run on every reader who offers free reading. Some energies of readers are not compatible with mine, and sometimes that's all.

Q: Before, you've mention those nasty readers.. Don't they have some bad karma of stuff if they use "dark" energies to make u harm? They can't control what price will have to pay (consequences) they're using it on someone?

Good points and good question too

The answer is YES, there is always a karmic price when you mess with someone else’s freewill, this meaning influencing people, having things happen to them etc. that’s going against their own freewill/choices. It’s happening TO them, not with them etc. Same when you murder someone, rape someone, anytime you’re taking someone else’s freewill away, that’s negative karma on you. And this WILL be balanced out, make no mistakes, in this life or the next when you cross over. It’s a lot harder on the other side, they’re tougher on you. Jail here on earth it’s much more forgiving....
This is the same as suicide, it’s the stupidest thing you can do. Because you’re skipping out on a karmic lesson your soul agreed to and wanted to work on when you incarnated this time around, so whatever is paining you and making you do this, that’s a lesson you were supposed to learn. And now you’re just going to have to do it again but it’s even harder now since you cheated/broke that contract. It’s a HUGE disservice to your soul.

The people who go to the dark, always have some sort of dark entities influencing them and attached to them. Either by accident when they started divination or by choice. These beings make them do their bidding. They feed off our lifeforce, like parasites. When you dish out negativity, it’s feeding them, and that’s what they want.
That’s why they do it. It’s not them, it’s the evil that’s aligned itself with them....

Oi Luna! What a shitload of info haha
Thank you so much for writing this, I have to say I never really queried about those types of readings and my curiosity was tickled with the number of them here so I was very interested and I am very happy that you wrote all this.

I entirely agree about what you said about discarding someone's abilities over a mistake. It is a nasty trait of our society and also of ego rashes to discredit someone completely over what essentially is disagreement. As you've said, no one says a singer can't sing because of a voice crack (except if it's Witney Houston and she's been off for decades due to drug use, that was tragic, I still cry and mute the telly when those images come on).

But, where I have a slightly different position than you is in the reaction.
For sure, psychics, astrologers are in somewhat of a vulnerable position facing clients, but not as vulnerable as the clients themselves. First because psychics are doing a chosen occupation and as you've said, you make sure you're available (energy, sleep, food...) before a reading and the client is most likely in distress (more or less, but I doubt blissfully happy people come to psychics for readings, or if so, probably because they have an anxiety it won't last), and second, because as you've said, psychics have great power and can seriously mess people up.
So, telling people not to say it if they dislike the reading or find it inaccurate to avoid retaliation sounds O so strange to me because it'd be like saying don't tell your GP it was not a bacterial infection, but a virus, otherwise they'll prescribe you an obscure drug containing doses of that tropical fruit you're allergic to and send you into anaphylactic shock (because doctors are people too and they too can make mistakes especially if the manufacturer got fuzzy with the labelling, they could get away with it. Doctor abuse is real). Such feedback should be part of the relation too.
I appreciate that you warn people and acknowledge the bad seeds in the trade, but biting your tongue for fear of retaliation isn't healthy and if you go through an entire reading with the fear to say or do something that offends the reader and ends up in you being cursed, you're not really providing the right energy yourself so that won't that wreck the reading too? (I have seen someone cursed btw, saddest thing I've ever seen)

Isn't The point of any such activity to share? Share your gift, your energy, your expertise? Then why would you not accept feedback and question yourself? That's where the person you read gives back. Where you learn from the one you taught.

My occupation has serious ties to these jobs except it's quite open so I get criticism and questioning ALL the time, it's quite violent to be honest and as professionals we develop a strong support system for each other to cope because it's a difficult side of the job. But I wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China because it's an amazing safeguard to know what will be watched and turned around, it pushes me to be extra cautious to make sure that free will and margin of error are always seen, sometimes I see something so clearly about someone and I want to say it as I see it, but just knowing how radical tis makes me question myself so I look for a contradiction and I always find one, there is always a way out. And by presenting that too to the recipient of my analysis, I avoid judging them and give them something whole to work with. (I imagine it's contradictory with what most clients request from a psychic, maybe in search of yes or no answers, but then having them accept their free will should be at the core of any honest psychic's practice). It's not about sugar coating the truth, absolutely not, it's about acknowledging that margin of error from the reader and the free will of the person in front of them.
So, provided that the reader is a good person, I think it should be ok to say "this hurts and I think it's biased because....." and the reader should be able to question themselves and say "first I apologise if I hurt you (because it's free and unless hurting is intentional or we are void of care about the situation, we should always apologise when we've hurt someone) it makes sense the way you reinstate it" or "I imagine what you say could be accurate, unfortunately I don't feel/see but your willingness to do this or that could change what I'll see in a month or whatever". It may sound like nitpicking or mere diplomacy, but in activities where everything is based on communication I think a good reader (psychic, astrologer....) should be an excellent communicator because you may have the most acute of gifts ever, if you can't communicate it in a way that makes it heard, if you make it so big or violent that it gets rejected, then you have failed in a way that is actually reproachable (as opposed to all the ways you've mentioned with are only human, such as fatigue and shouldn't be put on the reader). Also, what a waste to have these abilities to be able to see or feel so much and **** on your own boots by reading them wrong. The reading and its communication to the other person is another field on its own, I agree that criticising that shouldn't mean criticising the abilities themselves, but there are several levels where a reading can find its way to inaccuracy and some of them should be open to discussion.
A reader, a doctor, a therapist... are people in positions of power and with great power comes great responsibility. To potentially (not saying you do that, just in general) dodge that responsibility on the grounds of being human too is not honouring the higher calling of these professions and changes nothing to the harm that can be done (because if you can do a lot of good, you can also do a lot of bad, it cuts both ways) and I mean mostly unwillingly, again, not talking about these horrid trash leftovers you mention who curse people, I'm talking about genuinely benevolent therapists who unwillingly help induce memories in some patients or honest reading mistakes for lack of information or bias of one element getting all their attention, who really do hurt their patients/clients/friends while trying to help them.
Saying thank you and leaving even as you feel attacked in your core is not healthy, it's enabling, and if the person who made the reading can hear it, it's not nice either to not help them reconsider or temper their views. You don't have to be an evil psychic to badly influence someone, you could also impact and indirectly direct their free will in such way that you're still damaging them, just by being too confident in you or your abilities. I think it's a serious ethic question in our professions, not all my co-workers accept that and I really don't want to behave that way, even it fit means being seriously hindered by doubt at time, or failing to establish myself more. Telling someone they will get fired, their relationship won't work, their mother will die and that child they love is not theirs is awfully harsh judgement (especially if you say it all in one reading lol). People never come to anyone for judgement, they come for guidance. It implies showing the current way and ways out. Even as a patient comes to a doctor with terminal cancer, the doctor discusses ways to alleviate the pain and incoming death. A good reader would do that too, not fate things, which is exactly what you said at first, there is always free will and among mature, respectable adults I think that should make questioning a reading something to unite reader and client, not separate them (provided of course the questioning is done with reason and without insult )


That said I entirely agree with you nothing should be reason to insult or defaming character or put the whole of the abilities back into question. But even should that happen, I wouldn't be so quick as to label it only ego and would also always take into account the power dynamic. I have been insulted and defamed in my job countless times and I always make it my other job to peel the insults off from the speech and figure out what really is a problem, because I do think every criticism is good, especially in these professions where you deal with human matter. I don't hold more grudges against my detractors than I do scared stray cats on the road who hiss at me when I cycle by because I'm in a position of power and to balance that, I feel I have to make an extra effort to understand their point of view, also because "free will" and everyone will ultimately be the authority on themselves. I believe in all sorts of abilities and analyses but I think it takes someone very immature and young and new to world to be read better by someone else than by their own self. The purpose of all counselling is to give insight, not to reveal the truth, that's the difference between a powerful human and a god, and as you've said, we all are only human.

Good points Moonbeth. I understand what you’re saying definitely. But, this ain’t like a regular job....
I still always suggest biting your tongue even if it isn’t the most logical or helpful like you’re saying, because you don’t know how someone is ever going to react or what they’re capable of. Some people have ridiculously sensitive/touchy egos. And the malice in them to act on their negative impulses. It’s just not worth the risk. And the risk isn’t worth the reward.
Better to be safe than sorry, protect yourself first and foremost always. 😇

Thanks for addressing that Luna. I think biting my tongue is too much to ask to my Scorpio mars lol but I do hear you, I never give "negative" feedback to someone if I don't think they have something to do with it, if I don't respect people I don't bother with trying to share anything, if I smell a rat, well, honestly I wouldn't continue a conversation. It's also a good way to know who's in front of you. If someone cannot take negative feedback, then their qualities/abilities aren't worth so much, it's like a building that crumbles against the wind, you'd appreciate its designs but you wouldn't move in there I do protect myself and also put myself out there in reasonable measure because too much protection is another type of pain

I had a reading done from Etsy I asked her whether or not my friend and I will go out again. She pulled a card called the Ten of Cups. And explained what it meant for the question I asked.
