As you know, we've spoken with two other psychics, and they can get very specific about timelines and about what's going to happen. How do you distinguish what they do from what you do, and how do you distinguish astrology versus psychics? How direct do you get when giving predictions?
"I don't like doing predictions. Palmistry is all about character –– nobody can do character better than me, I don't care who it is! As far as timing, I use astrology for timing. I understand life cycles, that's why it helps to use the charts. In the hand, there's a lot of information in a little amount of space, so if you're looking for details, that's not the place to go. If you're looking for gestalt, absolutely it's the right place to go. Sometimes people ask questions about other people –– you can't answer that from astrology or hands, so you look at the tarot. I use all three when I do private readings. For things like special events, I'll do five-minute quickies; I'll nail one person, next, next, next. Each thing has its specific purpose, and the more people you read, the better you get at being intuitive."

Could you talk about that "intuitivity"? Do you "feel" something about a person when they walk in?
"You can, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're right."

What do you do when you're wrong in your reading? Are you ever?
"Rarely. Although you can tell how a person's responding by their energy and their eyes. So, in a second, you can turn the wrong around. I mean, a lot of people so don't know themselves that they actually believe that just because you're an expert in your field, you must be right. That's a dangerous thing! People in the helping professions have too much power, and other people tend to put them on a pedestal. They're only like everyone else and they can make mistakes. Personally, I encourage people to say something if they don't feel that what's coming down is right."

In terms of the timeline with astrology, have you ever had any incredible situations or success stories?
"Yes actually, I've had several success stories! Some people have asked for a lotto number, and I'll tell them 'Well no, but I can give you a time to play.' And based on their astrological symbolism, I'll look for the best date and time for them to play, when the planets are harmonious. Several times, I've had people come in and tell me they'd won small jackpots."

Well, we'll have to discuss that after this. So, you say that you started out reading yourself, and knowing yourself, and then you expanded on that. Does knowing yourself so well, or knowing what's to come, interfere with your relationships and daily life?
"No, no one knows what's going to come. You just project the best possible thing to come, and go for it!"
