Astrologer, Medium Or Psychic: What's The Difference?

People who practice their profession in the field of divinatory arts have the gift of seeing the past or the future. Even if neophytes confuse them, there are notable differences between an astrologer, a medium, and a clairvoyant. We invite you to discover how they differ so that you can consult them with full knowledge of the facts.

The astrologer, a specialist in horoscopes

An astrologer is a person who has received training in the field of astrology. Their predictions are based on the position of the planets in the solar system at the time of your birth.

An astrologer will therefore ask you for your date, time, and place of birth in order to determine your astrological sign and ascendant.

Astrologers use the individual's birth chart (i.e., the map of the sky at the time of birth) to establish their horoscope.

They can reveal what the future holds for you in various areas, such as in the popular Horoscope sections found in women's magazines, so feel free to prepare your questions about love, career, or family before the consultation!

The medium, a person who communicates with spirits.

Unlike an astrologer who has received training in their field, a medium has an innate gift: the ability to communicate with the deceased or spirits.

In summary, a medium is an intermediary between the world of the living and the world of the dead, just like the character played by Whoopi Goldberg in the movie Ghost!

Mediums do not predict the future, but rather transmit the messages that entities from the afterlife communicate to them. Therefore, people usually consult a medium to obtain answers or advice from their ancestors or deceased loved ones.

The clairvoyant, a person gifted with foresight.

Just like mediums, clairvoyants have an innate talent that can be expressed in different forms. Some clairvoyants hear voices (a gift called clairaudience), while others have visions (a gift of clairvoyance).

Clairaudients hear voices and phrases, while clairvoyants have visual flashes and see scenes unfolding before their eyes. But, in both cases, this innate talent allows them to perceive events that have already happened in the past or will happen in the future.

In addition, a clairvoyant generally uses a tool such as runes, a Tarot deck, or coffee grounds to provide answers to your questions. Each used tool corresponds to a specific method of divination, such as cartomancy (using cards) or coffee cup reading (using the coffee grounds at the bottom of your cup).

How to avoid scams?

In the field of divination, scams are quite common. It is therefore important to consult a recognized psychic or medium. Word of mouth is a good way to find a reliable astrologer, medium, or psychic.

Beware of psychics who are overly complacent with you, who assert certainties, or who, on the contrary, try to scare you in order to encourage you to consult them again.

People who practice divinatory arts should give you sincere answers and objective advice.

They should also demonstrate humility because divination is not an exact science and requires a certain ethics. A serious psychic will never give you information guaranteed 100% and will not make promises on sensitive topics such as health and illness.

A person who promises the recovery of a sick loved one is likely a scammer. Astrologers, psychics, and mediums are not doctors and will never replace medical personnel, who are the only ones authorized to discuss these subjects with you.

To avoid scams, also note that a psychic should only charge you for the current consultation. If you are asked for an additional amount to fix a situation, it is definitely a scam.

Finally, remember that in this field, it is best to avoid subscription formulas. These subscriptions are dangerous because they can lead some people to become addicted to psychic readings... And this is a pernicious addiction, just as unhealthy as gambling or drug addiction.
