Hi all!

I have noticed, that I am kind of addicted to some readings either it is tarot or psych ones.

I would be extremely happy to discuss your experince about it. Please do not hesitate to post your answers here...waiting for your reaction.

Are you paying for these readings?

Sometimes I am intrigued by them but I know some are cons. Luckily my mum is very good at astrology and can do my whole birthchart. And i like to do tarot readings myself. Have you considering learning the tarot?

Have you been getting online readings from a women called "Tara". She is in my opinion a fraud and I would say don't go there.

It would be nice if someone else could understand us and then tell us about ourselves but we're the only ones in our bodies and we're the only ones who can know us, our background and experiences. Other people can give us their impressions of us but that comes from the other person and their life stories and experiences and while some people, like therapists, are more experienced "reading" others, they still can't know the larger part of our iceberg without us talking about it.

If I tell you to think of a pink elephant, your mind will helpfully picture a pink elephant. Likewise, if I tell you "today you'll meet a person who will become very important to you" (a) that's not unlikely whether I tell you or not but (b) you will start searching all the people you meet, sizing them up for someone who you can make very important to you.

Why let someone else tell you what you want and let your mind go running off after pink elephants? Ditch the pink elephants and what other people tell you and decide for yourself, what you'd like and let yourself in on the secret! If you want to find a mentor, go look for one; don't wait for someone to tell you one could show up!

8-10 years ago I went down my driveway to the curb in front of my house to get the mail out of the mailbox and found a key in the gutter. I picked it up and "decided" to find what it was the key to. I decided it was symbolic and "important" that I had found it. Of course, first thing I did was try it in my front door :-) and it fit, but would not turn! All day at work I kept thinking "What is it the key to?" I had a big breakthrough that day on something and attributed it to the key, I found the "key" to something that had been holding me back.

We can believe whatever we want to. We can use our beliefs to help or hurt us ("You are going to have a fight with a significant other today"), attend to some, ignore others. There is no totally figured out fate that determines what we do. Yes we all have natural attributes and biases we're born with, likes and dislikes, interests and abilities but those are just nudges and hints to show us "easier" more pleasant ways to get on in life but there's a whole lot of variety in there and no life experience yet when we receive them. I have scientifically measured musical attributes but have never taken music lessons of any sort. In this life it just means I "appreciate" some instruments more than the "average" person but, who cares since I'm only me and that's "natural" for me and you are only you and have your own "natural"? Some kids learn math and science easier and others English or, in my case, history.

What I find fun is that we can be our own wizards and tarot/astrology readers, can look at and read our own psyche, better than any of the others "out there".
