Please Read This Before You Consult a Psychic

Before you phone a psychic or start shuffling those Tarot cards take a few moments to get clear about your intention in seeking advice. Keep in mind that psychic counselor talents do vary. Do your homework as a consumer. Shop around to find the appropriate psychic advisor prior to booking your consultations. If you would prefer doing a self-reading there are a wide variety of oracle tools to consult for intuiting answers.

Do's and Don'ts - Guidelines for Posing Your Questions

Avoid YES or NO questions such as:

  • Will I marry this year?
  • Is my boss giving me a raise?
  • Am I going to get pregnant?
  • Will I win the lottery?
  • Is my partner cheating on me?




Stay clear of SHOULD questions like these:

  • SHOULD I call my mother?
  • SHOULD I fire my agent?
  • SHOULD I move in with my girlfriend?
  • SHOULD I go back to school?
  • SHOULD I buy a new car?

SHOULD I quit my job?Why am I unsatisfied with my work?How can I learn to get along with my coworkers better?What are my best employment opportunities?

Don't ask WHEN, WHERE and WHO questions -- WHY not?

  • WHEN will I meet Mr. Right?
  • WHERE will I find success?
  • WHO can I count on?


Not asking a WHO question should be obvious. You don't ever want to focus on other people when seeking futuristic advice about yourself. Keep the reading focused on you and your choices. So, keep questions like WHO is the gal of my dreams? in your mind but don't lay it out on consultation table. Otherwise you might be given a name or a description that will end up limiting your playing field or confusing your search. You may be looking for that "blonde girl" but can't find her because she dyed her hair red, or she introduces herself to you using her middle name and you don't give her a chance long enough to learn her first name. Just don't ask WHO, okay?

Here's another example of getting mixed messages from a psychic giving clues about WHERE your soul mate will be found. Let's say you were told you would meet your soul mate while traveling or away on vacation. Based on what your intuitive counselor told you would you start taking more vacations and weekend getaways even though you could not afford it? Or, would you possibly begin avoiding all local social activities because you now BELIEVE you won't meet your perfect prince at your neighbor's barbecue? Why waste your time right? What if the psychic was wrong? But let's say the psychic was right and you were suppose to meet your soul mate while away on holiday. But the scenario she was intuiting was a bit different from what you imagined.


Because you decided not to go to the local barbecue, you never meet Susan. Without Susan as your cupid's path to Steve, meeting him just got delayed. Or, you might end up missing the Love Boat entirely.


Do ask WHAT and HOW questions. Ask:

  • WHAT am I doing right (or wrong)?
  • WHAT can I do differently?
  • WHAT choices do I have?
  • HOW can I find purpose?
  • HOW do I begin loving myself?

WHAT can I do to attract a mate and fall in love again? HOW can I best fulfill my desire to experience motherhood and nurture a child?WHAT am I lacking in my life that is affecting my unhappiness at work?

Maybe ask WHY questions

Regretself pity puddleWHY me?WHY not me?

Phrasing is Key!

Question: Why is my boyfriend avoiding me?

Better Question: I'd like to spend more time with my boyfriend. How can I improve my relationship with him?

Question: Why did my boss deny my request for promotion?

Better Question: What can I do to become more successful?


Better Question: Why am I struggling with family relationships?
