New to Psychic Readings?
Are you new to Psychic Readings and interested in learning the basics? If so, this article may help you learn a bit more about the different types of readings.
If you are thinking about getting a reading then it could be helpful to understand the differences between each type. This information is a basic overview and as such will prove helpful if you are new to readings. The goal here is to help you by making you a more informed consumer, and hopefully this information will help you pick a reading type if you are not sure which kind you may need. You may find it interesting to try several types of readings, to see which one you prefer.
There are several types of psychic readings, so understanding the different types is important if you are considering visiting a psychic for a reading. According to Wikipedia, “A psychic reading is an attempt to foretell the future of an individual or group.”
However, this is not quite correct. Some psychic readings are used to tell people about their possible future, other types are actually attempts to examine and interpret the psychic energy around someone. Still others tap into the psychic energy around a person to understand their past.
A better definition is they are an attempt by a psychic to read and interpret psychic energy and it’s impact on a person or event.
Types of psychic readings:
There are several types of psychic readings, with variations for each. A psychic usually specializes in one area of psychic readings, such as psychometry, distant readings, tarot reading, astrology and horoscope readings, numerology, palm reading, past-life readings, aura readings or any number of other methods.
We’ll explain a bit more about each major type of reading below, but the key thing to remember is that the main differences in the types of readings has to do with how the psychic tunes-in or connects with the psychic energy around you, and communicates their analysis of that energy to you.
Most people think of psychic readings as one-on-one readings at home or a psychic’s business. There are also psychic party readings for groups, and the shorter (in lenght of time) psychic fair readings. Distant readings include internet readings, phone readings and mail readings.
1. Distant readings:
A common form of psychic readings are distant readings. Distant readings are conducted many times without the reader ever meeting the client face-to-face. The client asks questions about his or her life and a psychic uses their senses to determine possible answers or implications of answers.
Distant readings are similar to methods used for remote viewing and healing. This method removes the possibility of the psychic picking up on visual or verbal cues that might be possible in face-to-face meetings.
2. Tarot card readings:
Many people think of tarot reading when they think of psychic readings. Tarot reading is used often to try to read a person’s future, or understand what should be done with relationships, jobs, family matters or other important events.
What many people in Western countries may not realize is the Tarot cards were, and are, used for card games in parts of Europe, and were not originally used for psychic readings.
Tarot readings are impacted by many variables so there rarely are two readings that are the same. The reason for this is because each card in the 78 Tarot card deck has a specific meaning, but implications for the meaning are great in number. In addition, the order that the Tarot cards are pulled and their position makes a difference, when laid out in the spread.
Because of these variations, no two Tarot readings produce the same results among different Psychics, and differences between interpretations by Psychics can influence the reading.
As you might imagine, the personalities of the psychics conducting Tarot reading also has an impact on a reading. This is why many people who are interested in card readings will try several psychics before finding one they prefer and eventually frequent.
3. Psychometry readings:
Psychometry readings use items that have been very close to a person to help read the energy associated with that person. These objects could be a favorite piece of jewelry that someone always wore, or a watch, or glasses or other items that they kept close. The theory is that some of the energy associated with that person has been attached to the object. It’s this energy that the Psychic attempts to connect with and read.
Psychometric readings are sometimes used to try to find a missing person, to learn more about a person who has passed on, or to try to understand other information about the person who used to own the item.
In summary, learning about the different types of readings will hopefully provide you with more information to make an informed decision. You may want to try several types of readings, depending on your needs, to see which suits your personality and tastes.

Welcome to A Real Psychic
A real psychic is a web site designed for those who want to learn more about psychics. “A Real Psychic” has educational information about psychics, parapsychology and the paranormal. If you are looking for information about psychics, you’ve come to the right place. We hope you will find the information you need to make a more informed choice about psychics after visiting arealpsychic.com.
Psychic Definition
Wikipedia defines the term “psychic” as: “Relating to or denoting mental abilities or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by known natural laws, since they seem to transcend the confines of the brain. People who are thought to have these abilities or to be able to produce these phenomena are often called “psychics”. The term comes from the Greek word psychikos, meaning “of the soul, mental,” which is in turn derived from the Greek word psyche (soul/mind).”
Do real psychics predict the future?
Real Psychics use psychic readings to help them predict likely future events, but they cannot predict the future absolutely. This is because each of us has been given the gift of free will, a real psychic will acknowledge this. We can choose to change our actions, which changes our course in life. The statement that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is not true for people. A real psychic will tell you you’re never too old to learn, and change! Real psychics can predict possible futures for you, but it’s up to you whether you make that future real or not.
Can a psychic bring back a former lover?
Getting back together with a former lover is probably one of the most common reasons people go to psychics. Psychics can detect the psychic energy around you, including the energy of others. A real psychic will give you guidance on how others may impact your life, including if there’s a chance of getting back together with former lovers. Because we are able to make our own decisions, and change our life directions, a real psychic will tell you that nothing is guaranteed. Because you can change life directions, and because your former lover can change life directions, it can be difficult to determine with certainty that a former lover will come back.
The best way to handle questions about a former lover is to learn from the psychic what decisions you may need to make to help bring positive conditions in your life conditions. This puts you in the best possible situation to bring your former lover back.
Can a psychic talk to spirits?
Some psychics can tune in to the energy of those who have died. These psychics are usually called Psychic Mediums, or just Mediums. However, this communication is not exactly the same as talking the way people do. The energy of spirits what psychics hear in their minds and interpret, not an actual voice. Usually this communication is one-way, meaning the psychic can receive the energy from those who have died, but cannot carry on a conversation like you and I would on a phone call. This communication is also normally from spirits who have not yet passed on to the other side.
How can I find a real psychic?
It can be confusing trying to find a real psychic. This is because there is no scientific way to determine the exact amount of psychic ability a person may have. Unfortunately, there’s also fakes who are only interested in taking money from people. If you are looking for a real psychic, make sure your psychic does not show signs of being a fake. A real psychic will never promise to change or cause something to happen for you.
A real psychic will never guarantee that they can bring back lost loves, or otherwise do something for you. A real psychic does not need your personal information such as a drivers license, social security number or any other financial information about you. If your psychic is asking for this information, you are very possibly dealing with a fake psychic. The best way to find a real psychic is to ask friends and family for referrals, and to check a few references before engaging a psychic.
Why can’t real psychics forecast and improve their lives?
Often people assume that there are no real psychics because if they were real psychics, they could see their own future and improve it. After all, if psychics are real they should be able to forecast winning lottery numbers, see their own future lovers and lives, and do other things to improve their lives. So why don’t they? The answer is that real psychics feel energy around them that only sometimes has something to do with their lives.
Most often, real psychics have no more idea about what lies in their future than anyone else. A psychologist would not consider psychoanalyzing himself or herself, and likewise a real psychic would not consider trying to determine and change his or her own life.
What is Tarot and why are Tarot Cards used by Psychics?
The answer depends on who you ask. In some parts of Europe, Tarot (also know as Tarocchi in Italy and Tarock in Austria) is a card game played with a set of cards that have a “fool” card, 21 trump cards and an extra set of face cards called the “knight.” The face cards and their priority are Jack, Knight, Queen and King.
However, in the U.S. and some other western countries, the Tarot is known as a set of cards that psychics use to read the future or other important aspects for a person. When a psychic uses Tarot cards, they usually put them in a pattern known as the Spread, and the position of the cards as well as the value of the cards themselves help the psychic to read about the events, relationships or other issues facing a person.
How is a Horoscope Developed?
A horoscope can be defined as the predictions made about a persons life, loves or future based on the position, angles and influences of planets, stars, our sun and related astronomical objects on a person’s life.
By studying the position of the planets, stars and other astronomical objects at the time of a person’s birth, astrologers can evaluate and predict the factors that influence a person’s life and so predict their future.
What is Astrology?
Astrology is the study of how the position of the stars, planets, sun and related celestial objects impacts events of people, places and things. Astrology is used to learn about or answer questions about a person’s love life, whether it’s a good time to start a new business, or whether a certain year will be a good economic year, or not.
Believers in astrology hold the opinion that the movement of stars, planets and other celestial objects may have an impact on our lives and that the universe is not yet fully understood by science. Critics of astrology maintain that there is no conclusive evidence supporting the claims of astrologers, and that proven means of consistently repeating results of the practice of astrology has not occurred.

What is a Psychic Reading?
According to Wikipedia, “A psychic reading is an attempt to foretell the future of an individual or group.” However, this is not 100% correct. Although many psychic readings are often used to tell people about possible future events and how that may impact their lives, there are other types of psychic readings. For example, some psychic readings are actually attempts to examine and interpret the psychic energy around someone. Other psychic readings tap into the energy around a person to understand their past. Perhaps a better definition of a psychic reading is to say it’s an attempt by a psychic to read and interpret psychic energy and to explain how that energy might impact, or have impacted, a person.
Types of psychic reading
There are many types, methods and systems of psychic or extra-sensory readings employed by those who claim to have psychic abilities. A professional psychic may have one or more specialized areas of expertise such as psychometry, distant readings, Tarot reading, astrology or horoscope readings, numerology, palm reading, past-life readings, aura readings or any number of other methods.
Psychic readings include face-to-face readings such as in-person readings at home, psychic party readings for a group, and the less detailed and shorter psychic fair readings. Distant readings include internet readings, phone readings and mail readings. In some rare cases, a method of psychic sensing known as remote viewing is used.
Distant readings
Distant readings are conducted many times without the reader ever meeting or speaking to the client. The client asks questions pertaining to his or her life and a psychic uses intuitive senses to determine a probable outcome or solution to those questions. At times this practice is similar to methods used for remote viewing and healing. This method dispenses with the possibility of the reader picking up on visual or verbal cues evident in face to face or telephone readings.
Tarot reading
Tarot reading, or reading a deck of Tarot cards, is what many people often think of when they think of psychics. Because of this perception Tarot reading is used often to try to read a person’s future, or understand what should be done with relationships, jobs, family matters or other important events. Tarot readings are influenced by many variables, and so there rarely are two readings that are the same. This is because each card in the 78 Tarot card deck has a specific meaning. Also, the order in which cards are pulled makes a difference, as does their position when laid out in the spread. Because of this variation, Tarot reading seldom produces the same results among different Psychics, and even differences between interpretations by Psychics can influence the reading.
Psychometry readings
Psychometry readings use objects that have been very close to a person to help tune-in to the energy of that person. These objects could be a favorite piece of jewelry that someone always wore, or a watch, glasses or other item that they kept close. Some of the person’s energy is attached to the item, and it is this energy that the Psychic attempts to read. Psychometric readings are used to try to find a missing person, to learn more about a person who has passed on, or to try to understand other information about the person who used to own the item.
