So you already know one of the biggest advantages of online psychic readings: variety! When you go for a reading online, you have access to thousands of different psychics and different types of psychic reading. However, that variety is a bit of a double edged sword. It can make choosing difficult.
There are many different types of psychic reading. Two of the most popular varieties are fortune telling and tarot reading.
If you’re not sure whether to go to a fortune teller or a tarot reader, you can find psychics that do both. Each art has different strengths.
What is Fortune Telling?
Fortune tellers are psychics who specialize in making predictions about the future. Not all psychics make future predictions, but all fortune tellers do.
Fortune tellers are not bound to any particular psychic reading method, and some of them read tarot. Other divination methods include:
- Reading without tools
- Crystal gazing
- Fire gazing
- Palm reading
- Tea leaf reading
- Numerology
Fortune tellers are destiny experts. They can tell you what happens next on your current path. However, it is important to remember that destiny is not the same as fate. Fate is unchangeable, while destiny can be altered through your free will. Some can even provide specific dates that things will happen.
If you want to know what is going to happen, ask a fortune teller.
What is Tarot Reading?
The art of tarot bases itself in the art of storytelling. Each card represents a symbol, and through the symbolic interpretation, the tarot reader tells a story. This is especially useful to see what events unfold.
Because this psychic reading method relies on storytelling, it’s not as useful for specific dates. It’s much better for giving specific advice on what action to take.
If you have a specific desired outcome that you want to make happen, ask a tarot reader.
Remember, some tarot readers are also fortune tellers. Being a tarot reader just means you use a specific tool to do psychic readings. For some, tarot is just a medium of divination. Speaking of mediums, some tarot readers also can communicate with the dead. What we’re getting at here is there’s a lot of overlap in the world of psychic arts.
It’s also great to go in for a tarot reading when you don’t know what to ask, but you want a psychic reading. The cards are excellent at finding where you are in your story, and can give you clarity on your situation.
Which Is Better?
It depends on what you’re looking for. If you want to know when things happen, ask a fortune teller. Fortune tellers tend to be better with time frames.
If there’s something you want to make happen, a tarot reader can tell you how to get there. Tarot readers tend to be better at giving actionable advice.
Ultimately there’s no “better” method of psychic reading. They all serve different purposes.
Can I Find A Fortune Teller Who’s Also A Tarot Reader?
Yes! These are not mutually exclusive arts, so it’s pretty easy to find fortune tellers who also read tarot.
This is why we love online psychic services so much – they give you access to all kinds of psychics. When you stick to in-person readings, you really limit your options in terms of psychic specialty.
But which site do we recommend for finding such a reader? We’ve got a few picks:
- Kasamba – It’s been around for decades, they’ve got both a desktop and an app, and they’ve got thousands of psychics working for them. Overall, we’re huge fans.
- Psychic Source – Another OG player, Psychic Source offers clients 5% cashback credited to their accounts, so it's great for frequent users
- MysticSense – MysticSense makes it super easy to find a specific kind of psychic. Just look under “specialties” to choose what you want to ask about, and look under “tools” if you want someone who uses tarot
Happy Readings!
Overall, fortune tellers tend to be better at dates, tarot leaders tend to be better at advice.
Ultimately, if you're not sure whether you want to see a fortune teller or a tarot reader, there’s no wrong answer. You could always get readings from both, or you can find a psychic that does both.
That’s the beauty of finding a psychic online, you’re bound to find exactly the right one!
