> I believe you experienced what you experienced, but I'm not sure it was necessarily a good thing. How was it to have to look forward her predictions?
They weren't all bad. There were many different predictions. She gave duration. She gave context. And the bad would come to an end. Eventually. Just not right away.
Her predictions didn't affect decisions I made. I was never literally conscious of them. They weren't like "don't get on a bus, April 3rd". More like "Your financial state and your health will get worse, and stay that way for about eighteen months. It will turn around, but you'll have a surprising setback, involving an intersection of health, wealth, and well-being."
Seventeen and a half months later, following surgery I didn't even yet know I needed (putting me on welfare, which didn't even cover my rent), I got back on my feet, got a job, and got mugged before I could even make it to work. The mugging gave me PTSD.
That seems like a pretty good concordance between the prediction and the outcome.
I don't have that piece of paper, the one with her words on it. It's in a box somewhere. All I remember right now is the gist of her words. So, please, nobody jump on me about what I'm trying to describe. My memory for stuff like that is not literal. I remember the meaning, not the language. The "quotation" above is my gist-based memory of what she said. Not literally what she said.
I was already shocked at what had happened in my life (before the day we met). She took the edge off further shocks, yet to come.
It's not like I had some dark cloud over me. In retrospect, her predictions turned out to be true. It may not seem logical, but I was comforted. Because I trusted her, I guess. Her, not the predictions.
She is the mystery, to me. Not the astrology. The Reiki. The astrology. They were just her tools.
