Have you ever considered getting a psychic reading? But were we too afraid to go through with it because of the unknowns? Here’s a list of 10 things you should consider before booking an appointment for your first psychic reading.
1) Experience and Insight
When looking for a reputable place that gives free (or inexpensive) readings, make sure the person or establishment has enough experience to be able to give you insight into your situation. To do this, go online or call around and ask other people how they liked their readings. Does the Psychic have many years of experience helping people with predictions? If so, they’re probably not going to just tell someone what they want to hear. Ask them if they’ve ever told a client the bad news before.
2) Appearance
A reputable psychic is probably going to have an actual office and not work out of their home via online chat or phone readings. In addition, that person will likely be dressed in business attire. Many fraudulent psychics will try to convince you that looking like a slob makes them more relatable… it doesn’t. If his or her appearance isn’t professional enough for your taste, ask for another reader (or at least dress code). It’s always better to get a good reading from someone who looks nice than from someone who doesn’t care about their appearance at all.
3) Eye Contact
A real psychic cares about you and what you’re going through. A fraudulent psychic only cares about the money they can make from taking advantage of people who need help. An authentic psychic will maintain eye contact with you throughout your reading, as opposed to looking at your phone or shuffling things around on your desk.

4) Friendly
Most psychics are friendly! But if your reader isn’t welcoming, don’t let that throw you off. If anything it should be a wake-up call that something is probably not quite right. A good psychic will ask how you are and be genuinely concerned with your well-being. It’s okay to take a second opinion before booking an appointment – make sure the readers are just as interested in helping you find answers as they are in making money.
5) Knowledgeable
Just like real estate agents, stockbrokers or lawyers have to pass a test before getting their license, psychics and mediums should too. If you don’t feel 100% comfortable with your psychic’s knowledge of the art, it may be best to go somewhere else for better reading.
6) References Available
Before you book an appointment with any reader, ask them to give you references from past clients! A fair Psychic will have no problem offering this up; likewise, stay away from anyone who isn’t comfortable doing so. After all, this is your time and money; do not waste either one on someone unwilling to put their money where their mouth is.
7) Looking for Answers
If your reader (or advisor, psychic, psychic network…) says they do not want to do a reading because they don’t think it will be possible to offer any answers… ask them why. It should make you uncomfortable if they can’t tell you why or won’t tell you why. Remember those good psychics are simply looking for answers too. And sometimes the road to finding those answers will be difficult and long… but with a good guide at your side, it shouldn’t feel like an impossible journey.
8) Mannerisms
A fraudulent psychic may use one of many tactics to get closely acquainted with someone or something so they can scam them out of their money. If your psychic immediately wants to know what type of credit card you want to use, mentions freebies or other incentives to get you working with them, or asks for personal information from you before the reading has begun; they are probably not someone you should be doing business with.
9) Not all psychics work 24/7
Just like doctors and other professionals. Many do have specific times when they will only take appointments so that they can spend time away from the office as well. Be sure that if your psychic is unavailable during peak hours when most people need a consultation (like evenings and weekends), there is another option available for those who would prefer not to wait until the business opens back up.
10) The Right Time
Some telephone psychics may not have a physical location to visit, but they should still be able to talk for as long as you’d like. Ask first how much time is allotted for your reading, because some advisors will not allow the call to go over agreed-upon time constraints (even if it’s just minutes). Don’t hesitate to ask about future readings too; does your reader offer them? Would he or she prefer that you choose another date and time instead of rescheduling? If your psychic is unable to answer these kinds of questions within reason then politely thank him or her for their time and try again with someone else.
