Why can a psychic reading be accurate but the dates be wrong?

Because timing is one of the hardest things to see, and so much of what we want to know about when simply cannot be known in advance. Your desires may need certain factors to be in play before they can happen, and your own choices shape the timing too. A skilled psychic will tell you when they are not getting exact timing. The content of your reading is the most important part; focusing on the date can confuse you and take you off course.

Everyone would like to know WHEN something they want, or are waiting for, will happen. This desire is human nature, and it burns inside us as strongly as thirst or hunger, especially when it concerns a matter dear to your heart. Who wouldn't want to know the exact date they will meet their true love, marry and have children, or land that dream job?

You are not alone in this desire. Psychic predictions can be very accurate in the information that is seen during your reading. However, time and time again, I get to the core of a reading and, without fail, the client wants to know WHEN what I am seeing is going to happen. I've often heard myself saying, "So now you want to know when, right?"

Can a psychic predict exactly when something will happen?

Let's put on our thinking caps and set aside your burning desire to know the exact date. Suppose you wanted to know if your marriage would end in divorce, and if so, when. Or when you are going to get married, or which month you will get pregnant. Many people wonder about these things. But do you think the universe intended for us to know the exact date that something we long for will happen? Really?

If a psychic could guarantee the date, or even come close every time, it would change the world we live in. All we would have to do is call a psychic, ask when we are going to get what we want, and there would be the answer. That is not how it works.

I have predicted dates, or come close, for many people. But it is only possible to get dates or time frames when that knowledge can be known. I always tell my clients: if I get a date, I will give you one. So much of what we want to know cannot be known, and dates are one of those things. Yet it is a question in high demand.

Just remember that the content of your reading is the most important part. If your psychic's reading is accurate, trust that information and don't focus on exact dates. Focusing on when can confuse you and take you off course. Focus on right action and flow: making the right choices and flowing with your path.

Why can't we always know the date?

Thinking it through, it becomes more logical. If we knew the date every time, we would stop doing what it takes to get from Point A to Point B. We'd just sit back and wait for it. This is a trap that people who seek psychic advice fall into: waiting for the date!

When you dwell on a date you think is guaranteed, you change your natural rhythm. And if you think sitting around waiting for a desired outcome will bring you results, the opposite is true. In fact, when you receive psychic information, it is best to let it go and put it out of your mind. Ideally, the information should be absorbed to help you make your best choices, not used to try to control the timing of your fulfillment, because your desires may require certain factors to be in play in order to manifest. In other words, the Universe won't give us the exact date something will happen unless all the factors needed to bring it about are in play and that knowledge can be known.

Some people, especially those who call network psychics (who try to represent that they can tell you everything), feel entitled to know everything, including the date the prediction will happen, and they feel resentful when that date arrives and nothing happens. Is the psychic wrong when the date is not exact? A psychic can only give you an impression, and if they are skilled, they will immediately know when they are not getting exact timing. And you should be told this.

What should you ask your psychic instead?

Always keep in mind that we are all here for a specific purpose. Life is a mixture of disappointment and fulfillment, and the course a life takes depends on your choices and their consequences.

My advice to anyone who wants a guaranteed date is to take more responsibility for the outcome of your situation. Ask your psychic if you are on the right track, and whether, based on your energy at the time of the reading, you are prepared to fulfill your desires in the time frame you want. Ask what you can do, or should be doing.

Life is not about entitlement; it is about meeting our obstacles with strength and wisdom and walking through them. Your psychic is your guide, but you are the cause when it comes to making what you want manifest. It is such a great feeling to know you are making things happen in your life rather than passively "waiting" for something to occur. Happiness is knowing you are prepared to meet life's challenges, in tune with the rhythm of your own path and flowing with it. This is the beauty of life.

So don't get it mixed up. Psychics are not here to guarantee your future and date-stamp it, but to reveal it to you, to let you know you are on the right track, or to help you find your way. When it is time for you to know when, you will be given that information. Respect your professional psychic's skill, honesty and integrity in telling you what can be seen and what cannot.
