Psychic readings are a great way to gain insight into life’s burning questions. Whether it’s love and romance, career, or your life’s path, a reading can help answer those questions. You may have seen physics or websites advertise different methods and types of readings like clairvoyant or Tarot. With all these options, which one is right for you?
- Astrology
An astrology reading goes way beyond your Sun sign. A chart is compiled using your birth date and time, and the astrologer can predict your life trends based on planetary positions. It can also give you insight into favorable times to pursue specific actions like getting married or changing careers.
- Aura
The human body’s energetic field or aura holds clues about emotions, thoughts, and memories. By looking at the aura, the reader can gain information to help you remove energetic blocks and attain greater spiritual growth. If you are looking to understand yourself from an energetic perspective, an aura reading is for you.
- Cartomancy
This type of reading works with cards to provide you with answers to your questions. Also called oracle cards, some psychics work with angel cards, power animal cards, or earth magic cards, just to name a few. Cards are more of a tool for the psychic to use, but if you have an affinity for one of these oracles, it can help you form a greater connection with the reader.
- Clairvoyant
Clairvoyant means “clear vision” and has come to be synonymous with the word psychic. A clairvoyant reading involves the psychic seeing images or visions related to your questions. During a reading, the psychic may describe things in symbols in order to explain what they see for your path.
- Channeling
Channeling involves the psychic connecting with a higher frequency spiritual being or guide. The being communicates with the psychic, and those messages are relayed to the client. Not everyone is a fan of channeling, but those who are will find great insights revealed.
- Cleromancy
You may have heard the expression “throwing the bones” or “casting lots.” This is known as cleromancy. The reader throws objects like cowrie shells, bones, dice, or stones and interprets their positions to provide a reading. Different readers may use different objects for the actual reading.
- Numerology
If you love the simplicity of numbers, a numerology reading is for you. Like an astrology reading, numerology works with your birthdate to provide information about your personality and path. The numerologist can predict your life events based on the changing dates and numbers.
- Palmistry
They say that your fate is in your hands. A palm reading looks at the unique lines of your palm to tell you about your life, heath, love, career, and more. Palm readers have often gotten a bad rap, but the skill used by a professional can be enlightening.
- Runes
The Runes are an ancient Nordic alphabet, engraving each letter on a stone or tile. The psychic or reader casts them randomly or spreads them out in a pattern or “spread” to gain insight into your issues. This is similar, but different from cleromancy which is about the form the objects take, not the specific objects.
- Spirit Guide
Many psychics, readers, and shamans have spirit guides that they work with on a regular basis. For example, a spirit guide reading has them working with their guide for messages and advice to assist you with your situation.
- I-Ching
The I-Ching is an ancient Chinese oracle as well as a form of cleromancy. Coins are tossed, and their patterns are interpreted to form a trigram or picture of three lines. These trigrams are then analyzed to give information about the client’s question. It also helps you understand how your past, present, and future work together and evolve.
- Mediumship
Mediumship is often confused with channeling, which refers to a psychic’s ability to communicate with those on the other side. If you are looking for messages from a loved one who has passed away, working with a medium is the best option for you.
- Tarot
Tarot readings use a 78-card deck. The reader shuffles the cards while concentrating on your question. The cards are then laid out in a pattern or spread and interpreted. The question asked of the Tarot can vary, but be specific if specific answers are desired.
These are just a small sampling of the types of psychic readings available. In addition, some psychics use a combination of these methods in order to provide you with the best possible information. Explore these options and see which you like best!
‘Channeling’ sounds great, but what if the spirit guide has bad jokes? I mean, is there a refund policy if they’re not funny?
*snorts* Reading palms? How do they even know if I’ve washed my hands today? Next they’ll be predicting my lunch choices!
This post provides a great overview of various psychic reading methods. I appreciate the detailed descriptions; it helps people understand what each type involves before making a decision.
I absolutely loved this article! It really opened my eyes to the different types of psychic readings available. I’m definitely considering trying an astrology reading!
*sigh* Another fluff piece promoting pseudoscience. Just because it’s packaged nicely doesn’t make it credible. Real advice comes from professionals, not tarot cards.
Seriously? People still believe in this nonsense? It’s all just a scam to take your money. Save yourself the trouble and don’t waste your time.
While I can see why some might find comfort in psychic readings, isn’t it dangerous to rely on something so unproven? It could lead people away from real solutions to their problems.
So many options! I’m waiting for ‘Psychic Readings for Pets’ to become a thing. My cat has been acting weird lately, and I bet she has some cosmic insights!
