Psychic readings can be a fun and fulfilling way to get some insight into the inner workings of the universe and the mysteries of your own subconscious.

When you go to choose a psychic reading, you might be confronted with a lot of different categories, wondering what the differences are.

At Psychics-Reading.com we think transparency is key, so we’ll be going through all the different types of psychic readings in order to demystify them somewhat. Stay tuned for more info!

Pure Psychic Reading

In a pure psychic reading, you will be speaking to a psychic who will be using nothing but the gifts they were born with and have been practicing and developing their entire lives.

Most psychics work using at least one of the four ‘Clairs’: Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, and Claircognizance. Learn more about the Clairs in our guide to choosing the best psychic reading method.

Remote Viewing

Remote viewing is another term used for psychic readings. There is little difference in a psychic using clairvoyance and remote viewing – both are ‘seeing’ events unfold without being present or personally knowing the subject. If somebody is advertising themselves as a remote viewer, just know that they are essentially advertising psychic services as well.

Aura Reading

Your aura is the psychic field of energy surrounding you. Every living thing has an aura, and your spiritual health depends on the frequency that your aura is vibrating at. When your aura is vibrating on a lower frequency, you might be feeling very low energy, frustrated, or like you aren’t getting enough of what you want out of life.

An aura reader is able to see or sense your aura – often, by taking a photo that shows the colors of your aura – and give you a reading to help make sense of your spiritual frequency. Aura reading is also possible remotely.

Reiki/Energy Healing

Some psychics trained in the art of reiki are able to heal you remotely. By using a technique known as distance Reiki, they invoke the symbol known as the “distance symbol” to unblock the flow of your life energy, or chi. It is not always necessary that they are present in the room with you. As long as they can tune in to your specific energy, they are able to help you from anywhere in the world by directing their thoughts and energy toward you.

Some practitioners like to have a picture of you, or some information about you such as your birth date, in order to send the healing energy your way.

Love Psychics

Love psychics are psychics who use any of the psychic methods mentioned above or throughout this article, with the specific focus on love, romance, and relationships. While some psychics can speak to the whole of human experience, some choose to study and focus solely on love, since love readings are so popular.

Intuitive Tarot Reading

While tarot readers don’t necessarily have to be psychics, many psychics use tarot cards to enhance their innate abilities in a practice known as intuitive tarot reading. The cards they shuffle out will act as a guideline to the reading, but their psychic abilities will be the main skill being used.

Oracle Cards

Oracle cards are decks created intuitively by artists and given their own intrinsic meaning depending on the deck. Psychics who favor divining often find an oracle deck that they favor and like to use it to enhance their psychic readings. They can be used to clarify a tarot reading, or in lieu of a full tarot reading, depending on the psychic’s preference.

Fortune Telling Psychics

If you are solely looking for predictions of the future, you would approach a fortune teller, rather than a pure psychic. Psychics mostly see things as they are happening at the moment, and can offer solutions, but are hesitant to tell the future, since it is a shaky thing and not certain.

Fortune tellers use divination tools, such as pendulums, scrying bowls, tea leaves, or coffee grounds, to make a prediction about an event that may happen in the future. Fortune tellers can also rely on their innate abilities of precognition without the use of divination tools, but most find it helpful to focus their energy through a device.

If you approach a fortune teller, be forewarned that the future is dependent on your actions and the actions of others, and nothing can be set in stone. Fortune tellers should only be approached for entertainment purposes, or at least taken with a grain of salt.

Psychic Mediums

Mediums have the ability to channel messages to and from other realms than the material one. They can speak with loved ones who have passed on, as well as ascended masters, angels, ancestors, spirit guides, and the like.

A reading with a medium can be a profound, emotional experience, so be sure that you are emotionally prepared when approaching a medium for a reading, and educate yourself on the truth and facts about mediums and what they are capable of.

Pet Psychics

One of the most popular forms of psychic mediums are pet psychics. They are able to mediate a conversation between you and your furry (or scaley, or feathered) friend, in order to build your relationship and better meet their needs.

There are many different ways pet psychics can communicate with pets. Animals don’t communicate the same way humans do, in fully formed thoughts and sentences, so what the psychic is picking up on is more of an impression of the pet’s emotional state.

The Bottom Line

Knowing all of the different types of psychic readings available can really help when it comes time for you to get a psychic reading. Now that you know a little bit about some of the options available, which type of reading appeals to you the most?
