Different Types of Psychic Readings?
When you’re thinking about contacting a psychic, the first word a lot of my clients have is…overwhelmed. Many of them have the idea of a neon sign reading “Psychic Fortune Teller” with some 1-800-number who gives you some ambiguous aliment while simultaneously giving you the perfect anecdote, a candle or crystal. This isn’t what we are talking about but we will discuss the different types of psychic readers so that you can make an informed decision going forward when choosing a psychic.
Tarot Card Readers
This is by far the most common type of psychic. During a tarot card reading, the reader will ask your name and date of birth or simply to focus on the cards if in person. The reader will typically perform what’s called a “spread” that gives context to the question you are asking and however the cards fall whether upright or reversed will affect your reading. The modern tarot cards that most readers use are based on the Traditional Rider Waite Tarot Deck and are composed of 22-Major Arcana cards and 56-Minor Arcana cards.
Astrologists
If requesting an astrology reading, the psychic will utilize your day of birth, time of birth and location of birth to read what’s known as your “natal chart”. Most people are aware of what their “sign” is by reading horoscopes but you actually have multiple signs. What we are most familiar with is our Sun sign which simply represents the position the Sun was at during the time of your birth. However, birth charts are much more complex with moon signs, houses etc. These types of readings are ideal for people who are looking for a more introspective look at their life path, what their untapped passions may be…just to name a few.
Numerology
Numerology is another type of psychic reading utilizing birth dates. A psychic will use your birth date numbers related to your date of birth to come up with your life path number. For example, a person with a number 7 life path is controlled by the planet Neptune and has an idealistic type of character.
palm readings
This is also another popular type of reading. The psychic will look at the client’s hands and tell them about their personality through the lines that are on their hands. They will use the shape of the hands, the lines on the hands and the person’s fingers to give an accurate reading. The lines on the hand particularly show many aspects of the person’s personality and their future destiny. The life lines tells the length of your life, the head line provides insight into your type of personality and the heart line can give clues about your love life. The other lines include the fate line, health line, fame line, money line, marriage line, sex line, spirit line, travel line and luck line. A palm reader can read the special markings on these lines as well as garner meaning from the length and depth of the lines.
RUNE READINGS
Rune readings are an additional service that a psychic may offer. Runes have been around for thousands of years and have been shown to attain mystical characteristics. A rune reading consists of twenty-four runes laid out in a spread. There are different types of spreads including the traditional spread of three that represent the past, present and future. The materials that the runes are made out of affects the readings as well. Ceramic, stone and wood and gold runes are each used to answer different life questions.
AURA READINGS
An aura reading can also be conducted when you visit a psychic. This type of reading involves the interpretation of the aura that surrounds a person. An aura is a color outline that emanates from the body and varies from person to person. Auras can be different sizes, shapes and colors. A psychic that can read auras can see or sense a person’s aura and give their interpretation of it.
If you are looking for specific advice or insight, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist as most psychics only specialize in one or two areas. Some of the readings must be conducted face to face, but most can be distant readings that are done virtually or over the phone.
