Long post warning!

Tell me a bit more about last year and if there was any truth in it? I'm a tad skeptical but not unwilling to learn more about it. I've just found that it's very easy to generalise a point and most people can find some relevance of it to there lives

I wont make fun Astro, i've been doing the same thing for years. Was using the same 2 people for readings for ages both published & on radio they were both accurate but told me more about myself then my future.
Last night I found the tape of my reading done in May last year. It was a lot more specific than I remembered, but similar to joey007's experiences I found that while some looked to the future there was a fair bit that was about the present.
The reader's name was Vivienne and she started with numerology. Here's what she said. My thoughts in [brackets].
* I'm the kind of person who loves to have fun things to look forward to, and that they don't even need to be big trips or anything - even small stuff like dressing up for a night out. [This is true.]
* That I'm creative and love talking to people. [True, I love talking to people. Not sure how creative I am.]
* That I'm a strong person whose destiny is to do well financially and careerwise. And that I will finish with a lot of money. [I hope all this will be true!]
On to tarot...
* This year (i.e. the year just gone) I'll have a spiritual year - not necessarily religious or extreme mysterious stuff - more within myself. [Not sure on this one. This past year I've thought about what I want from life, but nothing particularly spiritual.] She also said that I would put some thought into why people behave the way they do. [This is true, I've definitely done this.] She also said I would become more emotionally mature. [If this means that I don't go through highs and lows to the extreme (the way I did when I was younger), then I guess this is true. Things don't bother me much anymore - I'm quite calm, except when I'm excited about something.]
* The year after that - I guess this would be this year that is coming up, starting now - is going to be busy careerwise. [Seems true and work is shaping up to be busy and quite demanding.] She also said that this would be a year of good saving for me. [True also, at least for the moment!]
Then she asked me to ask her some questions.
I asked whether the work I am doing now is for me...
* She said I'm very good at what I do. [Not sure about this.] That my workplace is a nice place to be, in that it's safe and comfortable. [Spot on.] That I will need more mental stimulation and will start to come up with ideas towards something more invigorating, exciting and creative. [I'll have to wait and see on this one.] In terms of leaving my current job, Vivienne told me I'm terrified about doing this and mindful of how long it's taken for me to get to this point. [Very true.] She said that the cards point very strongly towards doing something more creative and that in 12- 18 months i.e by November 2004 it's likely I'll be doing something else.
* Vivienne asked me to name two creative things I might take up. I said playing guitar and painting. She said I'd be crap at guitar. I think I got the death card! [I haven't taken up guitar, but I may do so in the future.] She said that I would find painting relaxing and calming and that I might make money from it one day. [Well, I haven't taken up painting either and can't really imagine myself being good at it. So skeptical about this one.]
My next question was about my relationships with friends and family...
* That I'm the kind of person who helps people with their problems just by listening. [Not sure about that. I often offer my opinion cautiously.] That people perceive me to be ambitious, talented and energetic. [Not really sure how others would see me.]
* The rest was stuff about specific people, which I won't go into.
Then Vivienne went on to talk about love etc...
* That I should stay true to my ideals in relation to partners.
* That I'll be drawn to younger guys who are full of ideas and are constantly starting sentences with "I'm going to...", and are fiery and enthusiastic. [Been out with several younger guys in the past year, generally kind of ambitious I guess.]
In terms of health...
* I was told to pay more attention to nutrition, diet, exercise and sleep. [I've definitely done this. Been exercising a lot more in the past year, and have a much better diet which has led to losing more than 10kg.]
So I guess the things I was told were mostly correct, but maybe a bit too general for me to lose the skepticism!!!
PS This took ages to type!!!
