The Benefits of Astrology, Numerology and Psychic Readings

We have all seen how psychic readings are generally portrayed in the popular media. Mysterious women (usually gypsies) hold audience with those who seek knowledge of the future and use a variety of divination tools to provide answers that are often even more mysterious than the diviner herself. One of the most popular portrayals of these so-called “fortune tellers” involves the use of a crystal ball, into which the seer will peer in an attempt to glean specific information requested by the subject of the divination – usually a paying customer.

Among the common myths surrounding psychic readings based upon astrology is that people who seek information from a horoscope have first reached a point of desperation in their lives. Nothing more could be farther from the truth. For thousands of years and countless generations, rich and poor alike have sought to understand their lives and the world around them by seeking the counsel of learned psychics proficient in astrology. Many are the kings and nobles who dared not lift a hand in war without assurances that the cosmos were in alignment to approve their actions. Even the wife of one United States President took counsel with a noted astrologer – a decision that put her on the receiving end of many late-night jokes.

Like Pythagoras, St. Augustine later came to the conclusion that everything in the universe contained mathematical connections that could be ascertained through a careful application of both the mind and spirit. Even after the First Council of Nicaea proclaimed numerology a departure from the Christian faith in 325 A.D., and subsequently included it in their list of unapproved beliefs (alongside astrology, divination, and other supposed occult practices), there remained proponents who assigned spiritual significance to certain numbers.

Distant readings, on the other hand, involve a psychic reading provided when the client and the psychic have had no contact. This, of course, removes any chance that the reader is acquiring clues from the target’s reactions, although skeptics will readily point out that a truly gifted and intuitive charlatan can glean more than sufficient information for a reading from the question itself. Distant readings are most commonly performed over the internet.

Most adherents of the practice of astrology are quick to point out that astrology makes few claims about how your life will ultimately be decided. It is rather, a detailed overview of the aspects of your being, as influenced by celestial omens. While the discipline can reveal much about how you think and behave with the natural energies that you have been given, how your life is lived is entirely up to you.

For the best psychic reading, always seek out a reader of good reputation. There are far too many psychics who have been found to take advantage of the vulnerability of people seeking their help. In particular, be wary of anyone claiming the ability to attune themselves to the spirit world, as most psychics agree that true psychic readings are based on a psychics ability to sense essential truths only on a material level.
