I would describe myself as a realistic and a skeptic. However, I also really like reading my horoscope. Deep down, there’s this tiny bit of optimism that maybe, just MAYBE, it all might be true. My approach to anything psych is with a heavy dose of skepticism though.

Recently, I was offered the opportunity to have a psychic love reading from Psychic Source. A call was arranged and next thing I knew – I had my very first psychic reading.

Sedona is an Astrologer and Tarot card reader. She began our phone session by first asking for my birth date, time and location (I’m a Libra, in case you were wondering). The discussion began by going through my chart and discussing my sign and the astrological influences over it. I will avoid trying to summarize everything she explained for fear of getting it wrong or misunderstanding. The bottom line is she gave me a fairly good description of my personality. Was it a perfect description? No, but it was interesting and gave me something to think about.

Before getting into what would specifically happen for my love life, she gave me a general overview of how alignments would influence me this year. Apparently, toward the end of the year I will feel like I HAVE to do something (i.e. get married, be more responsible, find a career, buy a house, have a kid). The important thing she said is to remember just because I may feel like I HAVE to do something doesn’t mean I need to – or that I should. She did recommend focusing on investing and doing more with my finances and work on building security for my future. That’s just good advice, psychic or not. I’ll take it.

I asked her a few questions about my love life:

• Will there be any more dating horror stories?
• Anything good coming my way for once?
• Is there hope for the future?

According to Sedona, this is my year for dating, not mating. I could expect a lot of random people coming in and out of my life and I should just enjoy them and let them go. It’s not likely the year I will find a real relationship. She also said she sees a lot of work and asked if I had multiple jobs. Technically, I do. She suggested I work too much and should give myself a break and be more social. Again, solid advice.

However, she said I have an event coming up that I don’t want to attend but I know a lot of people going and will go begrudgingly. She equated this event to an ex-boyfriend’s wedding to explain my hesitation in going. I couldn’t think of anything I’m dreading, except maybe a 5K that I haven’t even pretended to start training for. She said the event would be in very early June – the race is May 31. That’s close, right?

At this event I’ll meet the next person coming into my life. He is very generous and kind and loves to be a rescuer and a hero – and that he’d come on pretty strong. Her adding the “come on pretty strong” was key since I do NOT like the rescue-type. I’m no damsel. She explained he’d be a good relationship for me for a while, although it wouldn’t be a lasting one. She described it as “quite the affair” but it wouldn’t be right in the end. That relationship may teach me there are good guys though. There were a couple clues for him – like he’d work with fish or was connected to water in some way. She even tossed out a possible first name letter, but wasn’t too sure on that. I’m terrible at names these days, so I won’t hold her to that guess.

The good news is she didn’t see any dating horror stories coming up. Hopefully that comes true. I could use a break from rage monsters, men who date teenagers, arsonists, or pie guys.

Overall, the experience was really fun and kind of enlightening. Do I believe all of it? I don’t know. For me, the reading gave me a little bit more hope than I had before we started talking. Behind all my skepticism is the faintest little optimist. I’ll go ahead and find my sneakers to start training for that 5K (just in case).
