While psychic readings may offer clients several potential scenarios, many psychics avoid making definitive statements about the future for the following reasons:
Human free will: While debates continue on whether human beings are in charge of their own destiny or if their fate is predetermined, many psychics agree that people have complete agency over the direction they take in their lives. For this reason, psychics can only infer what may be ahead by evaluating past and present decisions.
Multiple realities: As one psychic states, there is no future. In other words, until a person makes a series of decisions that lead to one specific outcome, there are an infinite number of futures that may unfold. Ethical psychics would never imply that their prediction is the only possible outcome.
Unclear time frames: Even the best psychics can only receive vague information about when or how a future event will take place. For example, while the number five may appear prominently in a reading, it may be difficult for the psychic to determine if the time frame is in years, months, or even hours.
