| - This was by far the worst reading that I have ever had. So bad, that a few months later I am still so upset by the money wasted that I had to write a review. I've had palm, tarot and numerology readings from several different readers across the country, as well as in the Philippines and I've been happy with most. From past experiences, as well as Yelp reviews, my expectations were high. To say that I am disappointed with the reading is an understatement.
To begin with, my initial impression was that Jim was rather unprofessional. Not only could I see all the dirty dishes piled up in his kitchen, but he answered the door in his bare feet. I already felt slightly uncomfortable attending a reading in someone's home. I wish that I would not have ignored the bad feeling I had about this situation and turned around and left immediately.
The reading started off fine, with a general summary of my numerology. While this is pretty standard for a psychic visit, it went on much longer than I am used to. When I say general summary, I mean that he literally could have been reading verbatim from the horoscopes in the back of the newspaper or a magazine. While some of his observations were accurate, I am undoubtedly a Virgo, so the general characteristics that he pointed out were ones that I am familiar with. Then he finally moved into the Tarot reading. Now if anyone has ever been to a good psychic, they know that the reader is supposed to go through your cards and ask you "Does that sound familiar?" or similar questions to confirm that the reading they are giving you is accurate. Through the entire reading, not one time did Jim make any remark that was specific towards my life. Instead, he constantly asked me questions like he thought he was a therapist. Only he doesn't have a degree in counselling and that was not what I was there for. When I indicated that I was not entirely happy with the reading because it was pretty off point and incredibly vague, he suggested that I am looking for extrinsic validation of something that I need to figure out intrinsically. What a waste of money. Save yourself $65. Instead, I suggest you go to Walgreen's, buy a Cosmo, flip to the back and read your horoscope. It will probably be more accurate.
