Should I believe what I heard in a psychic reading?

More specifically, should I believe in what the psychic told me in my session on asknow.com? I believe in psychics and everything, and she was very accurate. But, I could just be making what she said fit my situation so I can believe that it's true. What do you think?

1. I don't know. I think psychics who sell their services are fakes and scam artists, but for all I know, the information may be accurate. So, take note of what she said, but don't live your life by it. For instance, one time a psychic told me that I would get into a car accident that wouldn't cause any deaths, but would be a great financial burden on me. I'm not paranoid about it. I do as I've always done and drive as cautiously as I normally do, but I keep it in the back of my mind in case it does end up happening so I can go to her again.
2. I think the power of suggestion and a desire for the supernatural has got you seeing 'demons behind every bush'.
3. "Psychics" are very talented at telling people what they want to hear. If you want to believe what they say is true, you are more likely to do so. I wouldn't take it to heart too much.
4. most psychics turn out to be fakes who simply fill in the blanks after "reading" you and tell you what you want to hear. Don't worry about it too much.
5. Is Astrology Scientific? Astrology claims that the sun, moon, stars, and planets can influence affairs on earth and that the configuration of these heavenly bodies at the moment of one’s birth plays a role in one’s life. However, scientific discoveries present formidable challenges: ▪ The work of astronomers like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler has clearly demonstrated that the earth is not the center of the universe. It is also known now that often the stars that appear to be in a constellation are not really bound in a group. Some of them may be deep in space, while others may be relatively near. Thus, the zodiacal properties of the various constellations are purely imaginary. ▪ The planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were unknown to early astrologers because they were not discovered until the invention of the telescope. How, then, were their “influences” accounted for by the astrological charts drawn up centuries earlier? Furthermore, why should the “influence” of one planet be “good” and another “evil,” when science knows now that basically they are all masses of lifeless rock or gases, hurtling in space? ▪ The science of genetics tells us that the basis of our personality traits is formed, not at birth, but at conception, when one of the millions of sperm cells from the father unites with a single egg cell from the mother. Yet, astrology fixes one’s horoscope by the moment of birth. This difference of about nine months should give one a completely different personality profile in astrological terms. ▪ The timing of the sun’s journey among the constellations as seen by an earthbound observer is today about one month behind what it was 2,000 years ago when the astrology charts and tables were drawn up. Thus, astrology would cast a person born in late June or early July as a Cancer (highly sensitive, moody, reserved). Actually, however, the sun is in the constellation Gemini at that time, which should make the person communicative, witty, chatty. Clearly, astrology has no rational or scientific ground on which to stand.
6. The choice is yours whether or not to believe what they have said, yes often they are accurate....personally I would be more concerned about THEIR source of information rather than their accuracy ie. WHO and WHAT they consult to give you your reading x x
7. The contents below is from a question asked to me a while back on magic. The principles still apply since we are talking about the supernatural, or spiritism. Many people are not aware of the connection that sorcery, tarot card and palm reading tie in to magic. However, I am going to keep this answer very simple. Historically, magic is closely related or associated with the occult. Many people in both ancient and modern times believe that the magic practiced by witches is performed to bring harm to others. Witches are credited with the power to inflict severe pain and even death by means of magic. Little do we give though to entertainment that promotes magic. For instance, “Harry Potter” (movie and book), which promotes sorcery and divination, TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and “Charmed,” which promoted witchcraft, talking animals (dog), and using magical powers to their advantage. Traditionally, witches have been blamed for an almost limitless array of misfortunes, including illness, death, and crop failure. Witches today strongly deny such charges. While acknowledging the existence of the occasional rogue witch who pursues evil, most maintain that their magic is used to bring benefits, not harm. Wiccans teach that the effects of magic will return threefold to the person practicing it and say that this is a major deterrent to the pronouncing of curses. Examples of this so-called benevolent magic include spells to protect yourself, to purify your home from negative energy left behind by former tenants, to make a person fall in love with you, to promote healing and health, to prevent the loss of your job, and to acquire money. With such sweeping powers being attributed to witchcraft, it is not surprising that it has become so popular. The Bible, however, makes no distinction between magic that is good and magic that is evil. In the Law given to Moses, God made his position quite clear. He said: “You must not practice magic.” (Leviticus 19:26) Deuteronomy 18:10-12: “There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.” Why did God say that? It is not because he intends to deny us what is beneficial. Jehovah gave these laws to his people because he loved them and did not want them to become enslaved by fear and superstition. Instead, he invites his servants to approach him for the things they need. He is the Giver of “every good gift and every perfect present.” (James 1:17) The apostle John assured fellow believers: “Whatever we ask we receive from [God], because we are observing his commandments and are doing the things that are pleasing in his eyes.” (1 John 3:22.)
