“I have a question about the accuracy of psychics. I had a reading about six months ago with a psychic who told me that my boyfriend and I would get married. I had a reading with you about two months ago, and you told me that you didn’t see us getting married. You thought we were soulmates but said that we still might not become husband and wife. You were right. We aren’t getting married. He got a job in L.A., so he moved out there. It’s interesting because you also said I might be doing more travelling with work. I’m not doing any more travelling than my drive to and from work. At least not yet. Is it possible that the travelling was for my then boyfriend? And why would the first psychic tell me we were meant to be married when we’re obviously not?”
First let me say that I am so sorry for your break-up. Despite what’s “meant to be”, losing your boyfriend has left you in pain, and I am truly sorry for your loss. As for the accuracy of psychics, I cannot say enough that no one should ever put all their faith in what a psychic says. If all psychics were right on target, I should be a flight attendant and living in Florida. Honestly, in general, some psychics just aren’t good at what they do or they are not really psychic. You have to be careful. Even if you find a good one, no psychic is 100% accurate – no matter what they might claim. Part of the reason for this is that the future is always changing. It’s possible that something could have changed the future between the time you spoke with the other psychic and myself, although four months is not a very long time for that drastic of a change. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the reading I did for you, so I don’t remember what the energy felt like enough to tell you if that’s the case. It’s very possible he/she was simply incorrect. Psychics are human, and we can be affected by illness or other factors in our lives. Maybe he/she was not at the top of their game that day. Information can also be misinterpreted. For example, it is very possible that the travel I saw was for your boyfriend, especially if we spent a large amount of time talking about your relationship. I would have connected to his energy as well, and I could have misunderstood and thought the information was for you.
I can’t tell you about the accuracy of the particular psychic you encountered before speaking with me, but it’s always important to keep a healthy sense of skepticism when talking with a psychic. Really, you should be careful talking to anyone when making important decisions … lawyers, doctors, counselors the IRS … no one is perfect, and anyone can give bad advice. If you think about it, a doctor gives advice based on his/her knowledge and expertise, but he/she could still be wrong. This is no different with any other profession – including psychics. Again, I’m sorry things didn’t work out like you hoped they would, but don’t lose hope. You still have a future, and holding onto the past will only slow down what’s coming your way. And, it is coming. Look to early spring, possibly March.

Thanks for sharing, Rebecca. That’s a great explanation! I think Alice from Twilight explained it perfectly when she said that the future is always changing – based upon what people decide.
Another important thing I tell my personal clients to remember about readings is that a reading can only tell you what will happen IF no one changes their free will between the time of the reading and the time of the prediction coming to pass.
For exampled; Jane loves Bob but hates Bob’s dogs. She asks her psychic reader if she and Bob will get married. The reader looks at the current energy and says ‘Yes, you will get married.’. However, three weeks later, Jane decideds she hates the dogs more than she loves Bob and breaks up with him.
Was the psychic reader wrong?
No, because at the time of the reading, Jane was either intending to try to deal with the dogs or simply not factoring them into the relationships as a long term life choice.
The reader was perfectly accurate for the energy that was availble at the time. However at a later date, Jane made a free will choice that altered the flow of her future.
No psychic can see beyond someone’s free will. They can tell you what is going to happen if free will does not change, they also can tell you based on a person’s energy what free will choices that person is likely to make. But ultimately, they can only see up to the point where a person’s right to choose their own life destiny comes into play.
