So you go in for your psychic reading, and the first thing your psychic asks you is for your name and birthday, what gives?
You’d think a psychic would know things about you, so why do they often ask for names and birthdays? The answer lies in energetic connection.
Names and Birthdays Establish Energetic Connection
Most psychics need to establish an energetic connection in order to begin a psychic reading. One of the easiest ways to do this is through names and birthdays.
An energetic connection must be established in order to get advice from the spirit guides. You may be tempted to “test” your psychic by giving as little information as possible, but that only drags out the process.
You wouldn’t pay a therapist to sit in an office and not talk. That would just be a waste of time and money. It’s similar when doing a psychic reading. You want to establish a strong connection so you can get a great psychic reading. You can start a connection by giving them your first name.
It’s not uncommon for love psychics to require the name of your person of interest. This way, they can tell the spirit guides to check on that specific connection. Otherwise the spirit guides may pick up on your general love aura.
It’s also very common for online mediums to require the name and birthday of the deceased. There are a lot of spirits out there, they need a form of connection to locate the specific spirit you want to speak with. If you have an object that belonged to your deceased loved one, that also helps to enhance the connection.
Names and Birthdays Contain Important Psychic Information
Another reason psychics love to ask your name and birthday is you can learn a lot from a person from just those pieces of information. You can tell a person’s astrological sun sign and Chinese zodiac from their birthday. While this is not the same as getting a full birth chart analysis, it gives the psychic a feel for your energy, even if you’re chatting online.
Did you know your name also influences your destiny? Fortune tellers who specialize in numerology can tell a lot about your soul desire and life path by analyzing your name. If you are considering changing your name, a numerologist can also advise you on how that affects your destiny.
Numerology is also useful in tarot readings because minor arcana can have hidden meanings based on your numerology numbers.
If you are interested in a numerology psychic reading, we recommend Keen Psychics and MysticSense. They have special search filters to find an excellent psychic who specializes in numerology.
Not All Psychics Need Them!
If you are concerned about your privacy, no worries! Not all psychics need your name and birthday in order to do a psychic reading. In the vast world of online psychics, you can easily find a great psychic who works within your boundaries.
Picture Readings
Many love psychics and online mediums like to use pictures for a psychic reading. Especially for clairvoyants, visual information can give stronger readings than words can.
For best results, choose a picture of the person that you feel best represents them. If you have multiple pictures, you can generally get a more detailed reading by choosing 2-5 of the photos that best capture their energy.
Item Readings
Much like picture reading, there are psychics who can read the energy of objects. Sometimes online mediums like to read energies of objects of the deceased. Make sure to take a well lit picture of the object in question with a good camera.
Blind Readings
Some psychics prefer to do readings with no information at all! One of the best things about choosing a psychic online is you can find one that works with your comfort level. Some psychics find they establish a clear energetic connection with no information whatsoever.
Bottom Line
We hope this cleared up a bit about the process of psychic reading, and why a psychic would want your name and birthday. Some psychics like to establish energetic connections through names.
Other psychics like to know birthdays because they like to incorporate astrology into their readings. Online mediums often need information regarding the deceased. Fortune tellers who specialize in numerology need names and birthdays to determine your life path number.
However, not all psychics need names and birthdays. If you prefer a reader who doesn’t ask for that, there are plenty of other reading methods. Don’t be afraid to shop around for the perfect psychic!
