I have had a number of readings from several different readers, and while they have all been extremely nice, not one reading has come to pass. I was recently fired from a job that I loved: supervisor of a large animal hospital. This was unjust, and I was completely knocked off my feet. A new CEO came and several people were discharged for phony reasons. I was told through readings, however, that I was going very far with this company, and that I would be quite successful. I live alone with seven animals to care for, and now have no income. I am single and was also told that I would meet the love of my life – that was said years ago. Do you think the psychics were clueless, telling me what I wanted to hear, or is something else going on?
Blessings, Carol

Carol, I am glad you asked about this. I am sure there are others with similar questions.
Basically, free will changes outcomes. There are no two ways around that fact. Let’s use the job situation as an example. The new CEO came into the office, started to work, got entrenched in some politics and changed the outcome by choosing something different from what he had planned upon his arrival. In the case of this CEO, no one could predict his change of heart, as it was a CHOICE that he made midstream. As I said, free will changes outcomes.
When things happen to us that set us back, we have two choices. We can sit around and cry over what could have been, or we can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and look for what could BE. I got so frustrated with things not working out in my life the way I thought that they were supposed to that I FINALLY decided to take a “backseat” to Spirit.
What I mean by that, Carol, is I just watch what happens in my life. For example, I have notoriously bad taste in men. I seem to pick guys who are just VERY wrong for me. So I asked Spirit to move men I meet out of my life as quickly as possible if they are not right for me. You would not believe the pace of men moving in and out of my life!
Now I could choose to sit back and cry because I really like someone who is not there anymore, or I can find peace knowing that he was not right for me in the first place. I try to use this approach with ALL situations in my life. Granted, I am human and often fall short, but I can always wake up tomorrow and try again. You can do the same thing, Carol. The CEO messed up your plan – so get a new plan. The Christian Bible promises life after death. It is time for a rebirth, Carol.
I do not think that you were told what you wanted to hear or that psychics you talked to are full of nonsense. I think that the situations happening around you are due in a large part to someone else’s free will and choice. I think you need to open yourself up to new job offers and to new love. The job became not right for you. The politics under the new regime would have made you crazy. It did not start out that way, but it evolved that way due to people choosing strange alliances and listening to new opinions.
You are being shown via gut instincts and strong feelings of “knowing” what to do next with your life. It would behoove you to listen to yourself and follow that path, no matter how bizarre it may seem. The path is leading you out of lack and into your new future. Follow it with faith.
I wish you wholeness.

People get readings for a million different reasons, with a million different attitudes about doing it. As I’ve often said, going to TOO MANY readers about the same subject in the same time period (psychic surfing), is a bad idea. It’s not as harmful to your spirit as asking the same reader the same questions over and over to try to get reassurance or a different answer, but it’s right up there with things that make readings NOT come true. If a person has Faith, the Universe will support the most advantageous outcome. Without that, there won’t be anything cooking at all!
A common situation with readings, especially NUMEROUS readings, is that NONE of it makes enough sense to come “true.” When a person gets many different readings from many different readers on the same subject, there SHOULD ALWAYS be optimistic points that are common threads. However, people INTERPRET what we say to them in unique ways. You should at least be able to take SOMETHING from a reading that helps you, and most of the time, that’s possible.
Also, people I read for frequently insist on putting words in my mouth! “I’m sorry, I don’t see him calling you this weekend.” “OH, so you’re saying it’s over, then?” ARGH! While I’m on the soapbox, another problem is when someone says, “But the OTHER readers all said…” GRRRR! I’m not saying that this is what you did with those readings, but since I can only see what I SEE, I can’t say why other readers saw things as they did.
When I read my horoscope, I extract from it what I think is relevant and discard the rest. I’m sure I am guilty of seeing things the way I WANT to when I interpret them. Lots of times, I’ll look back with an “AHA” of twenty-twenty hindsight.
I remember reading for you right after you lost that job. I remember how disappointed you were to hear that you wouldn’t be vindicated, and you and some of the other people who were fired would not be rehired again. We ran out of time before any kind of Love Reading could be done, but in my log, I see you saying, “Will I meet the love of my life?” to which I replied, “Not until you decide you want to meet that person.”
Personally, I never know what a person WANTS to hear when they come to me for a reading until I’ve had a minute or two to get comfortable with their vibration. While I’m rarely accused of telling people “what they want to hear,” I have been wrong on MANY occasions. We’re not Gods here – we’re people just like you. We’re just using the spiritual gifts we were born with a little differently than most people do.

Many times in life we hear, “You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT.” Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown’s book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn’t read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don’t usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity – you gotta love it!
I like your description of “getting caught.” That’s exactly what it feels like, isn’t it? One minute you’re free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that “feeling of return.” With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family’s interest in “psychic stuff” will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You’ll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she’ll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn’t nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it’s STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don’t get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you’re doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
