Fortune teller truth?? should i be worried

littlesurfer

i have a niggly thing bothering me. I read a thread in the region forum about a fortune teller query and it made me think about getting advise from the forum on this issue...there seems to be a few people out there who know their stuff.

Basically i was going through a really tough time with my boyfriend about march earlier this year...i went to a fortune teller who told me that i would break up with my boyfriend and that he was holding me back etc...and basically that i already knew these things....


but then the scary part....he said he couldn't find my boyfriends soul on the cards....he was soul'less' and cared about no-one but himself. he told me i would meet the love of my life in august of next year.

so over the next few weeks...although longer than he said it would take we broke up. But i was so miserable....and eventually we got back together. I went back to this fortuneteller with a group of friends first though and he told me about this guy i'm supposed to meet in august again. (same date)

Anyway, so now i'm back with my boyfriend and everything is better than ever,...everything has changed in our relationship....we've been back together about 3 months!

But my problem is that I just can't forget the things he said...if he had only told me once....but he gave the same month that i'm supposed to meet my future husband twice......thats just freaky! so even though i'm happy this little niggly doubt keeps creeping into the back of my mind....i love him so much, am miserable without him....and believe me am totally happy! but what if i'm making a mistake....this guy loves me i know,...and we could get married very easily in the next year or so

advise please??

Maybe your bf is the new guy? things happen in our lifes that change who we are , maybe he will have an event which changes him and makes him think of others. Readings are all about interperating the information you get and symbols have many meanings. Even the best reader and misread something, infact they do all the time.

littlesurfer

yeah thats a nice thought but it doesn't explain the dates......the more i think about it the worse it wakes me feel!

Dont let it take over your life, things change all the time and any rader that say soemthing will happen and you cant do anything about it is a fraud.

Hun you control your destiny nobody else.

Nothing a fortune teller tells you is ever set in stone......its up to you at the end of the day.

Nothing a fourtune teller tells us is set in stone. Leave aside what this person has told you. Your destiny is your destiny and you live your life dont let some thought that another person places in your head decide your fate. Look inside your own relationship and feelings and carry on from there. What will be will be what wont, wont. Only in the actual future will anyone of us know the outcome will be.

Hiya,

I think 6th is right. The new guy could be your fella, it might be that the break up caused him to reassess and changed something within.The timing around august wouldn't concern me that much, good fortune tellers will usually(in my experience) give a timeframe like 'in the next 3 months' or so. I would be a bit dubious if he could give you exacts like that but perhaps he can.

I know it's easier to hear than to do but you really need to take a step back from what you were told and let things unfold. Dont' give your power to someone else!

Hope this helps

Ladybird:)

I agree with the others Littlesurfer...nothing the fortune teller has told you is set in stone. I have been to fortune tellers who were incredibly accurate (to the day!) but also some who were way off, the event didn't happen at all, never mind happen at the specified time.

Earlier this year 2 different card readers, 3 months apart, told me they saw a third child for me. Both,however, emphasised that if I didn't want another child (I don't) just to be extra extra careful, take precautions etc i.e there is a potential third child but I do have the choice (raises all sorts of other ethical questions in my mind...arghhh!). I was also told my husband would change jobs in May (he didn't) and I would be going on a trip abroad in September which would have something to do with a car

Enjoy your time with your boyfriend... if you're meant to be together you will be.

advise please??

If you don't mind me asking, which fortune teller was this?

littlesurfer

thanks for your opinions. i think your right ladybird i should just let it unfold...i suppose i've always held the reigns in this relationship so whether we stay together feels like my choice.......but i'm happy so why am i thinking about that at all!?!?!?!?!?!?


i think i'm off fortune tellers for a while....its a pity cause i used to really enjoy going to them

it was that fortune teller under Ms fantasia...Eddie is his name....don't get me wrong he's lovely

magnumlady

Its difficult to forget what a fortune teller has told you. I hope you can though.

The last time I went to a teller I was told I was going to have 8 miscarriages, I was so freaked out at the time as I was in early pregnancy.

Thankfully I didn't have any miscarriages, so although some fortune tellers are great and get most things right, other times you have to take things with a pinch of salt.

littlesurfer

my god thats awful...telling you that would nearly make you have one!!

I think the date with this guy were just so accurate..the dates i met with my boyfriend..and the date something went really wrong!! creepy...i didn't sleep for a week after talking to him!

Speaking as a tarot reader here any reading you get is based on your immediate situation in your life. And any predictions are from a point of view that if everything stayed the same thats what would happen. But as we know people change and situations change making a new future from that situation. Thats why when i read for people i try to give them more insight into their immediate situation then give them vague predictions about what may or may not happen.

Tin Goddess

Excuse my ignorance but how do you become a tarot reader... i am facinated to know how people figure out they have that gift. Or is it more of a skill?

You need the gift of the gab and a neck like a jockey's bollocks.

That doesn't make sense.

If everything stays the same then nothing changes so theres no future. For it to be the future then something has to change, so surely the skill of tarot is to predict those changes?

Good grief, I've read it. Chortle. Definitely not the place for me. I'll leave you at it. Backs out door.

i would` nt believe all you hear from fortune tellers,i went to one a month ago and she said how i was to invest money in property and then continueing my education would benifit me,and most of this she kind of got out of me rather than mysticly seeing my future.and so you have to ask yourself at your first reading did you say anything at all that might have made him think that you and your boyfriend were having trouble?if so then anybody could hear that and say the odds are more in favour of you two breaking up,i was told to make 3 wishs for an extra tenner,there supposed to come through within 8 hours ,days,or weeks so i guess theres 4 weeks left,one of the wishes was for my family to have long good health but a week ago my father had a heart attack,hes relaively back to normal but the way i see it that whole reading that i got was a complete load of bull****

Hi, I dont wanna hijack your thread but I didnt think it would be worth making a new one for this. Bascially, I need to know, are fortune tellers real? Or are they just out to scam us? Can anyone reccomend a good fortune teller?
The reason I ask is, ive done some things recently which im now afraid may affect who i will become, its one of those life changing descisions that I made when i wasnt in the best frame of mind. Im not gonna say what it is though, thats not why im here. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at this thread haunted_room, theres alot to go through so skip to the last few pages.

Sorry if i didn't explain myself clear enough, The way i see it is at every event your given a choice to do option a or option b. Now by following all these choices there is a future based on how everything is at the moment or how you'll react when you encounter said choices. So at the moment of the reading any predictions are relevant to you at that moment. Just remember when you're getting a reading you're choosing to see your future for that moment in the situation your querying but you might leave the reading and get hit by a car and then your future is completely changed.

Does that make more sense?

I don't think so. I'm still not getting it.

Just remember when you're getting a reading you're choosing to see your future for that moment in the situation your querying but you might leave the reading and get hit by a car and then your future is completely changed.

If you get hit by a car then the future situation you predicted was never going to happen, so no prediction was made. For example, if I say "you will be abducted by aliens next week" but you're hit by a car tomorrow, then the prediction about aliens is nonesense, because its not the future, it never happened.

What worth is a prediction of the future if theres no likelyhood of that prediction coming through? What makes it anything other than a random guess if you can't predict the impending car crash that will disprove the prediction?

then your future is completely changed.

Changed from what?

I think a post I made on the White Witch Prediction thread might clarify things bit (or at least muddy them in a more usefull direction )

There are several factors which when taken into account may make the prediction a little more impressive.

One is that predicting the future is not an exact science. The imagery she recieved may have related to what the terrorist plot intended to achieve, not what was actually going to happen. It's quite possible for her to have mistaken this imagery as a literal event as opposed to it relating to the plans of others.

It's also quite possible that the event she actually foresaw was the police raids to arrest the conspirators, keep in mind that the raids on the 9th, the night before the story broke. For example she may have seen imagery of both police action aswell as planes exploding. While this would have actually related to the police raids preventing the attacks, given recent history, it's easy to see how she could have misinterpreted the imagery as being from an actuall attack that would happen and the police action being just a side-effect of that.

It's also plausible that the prediction was correct and that either the white witch herself, or someone other psychic who predicted the events, made contact with the police and gave them some information which allowed them to prevent the plot.

Finally, most people who actively engage in predicting the future believe that the future is not fixed and that what they predict is merely one of a set of possible outcomes. What makes them different from anyone else, or from a computer making random predictions, is that the futures predicted by them tend to be very likely ones. Some newspaper articles after the arrests told how the group involved had been under surveillance for some time (about a year I think). It was generally believed by the police that the attack they were planning was months away still, but on the 9th they recieved some new information which led them to believe that either the attacks were immenent, or that the group was going to go into hiding, which is why they conducted the raids when they did. It's quite possible that had they not recieved this information that the group may have successfully carried out it's attacks, i.e. the attacks happening was a very likely potential future. Altough the date would have been wrong in this scenario.

As for the important people, it may be revealed at some point exactly which flights were planned for the attack and it may turn out that some important people were going to have been on those flights. That's just something we don't know at this point.
