I have never been into tarot or numerology before but coming from a background in which my grandmother used to read palms in her spare time, I would say that I've always had a curious leaning towards approaches that seek to make sense of life but which actually have no scientific explanation as to how or why.So when I was given the chance to find out what life might have in store for me via two different readings, I was sufficiently intrigued to say yes. The numerology session was especially interesting. Gayna worked out that my life path number (derived from reducing your birthday to a single digit) is 9. Obviously when faced with the glowing attributes that come with having that particular life path ie 'trustworthy', 'honourable', 'generous' and 'compassionate', I couldn't help but agree how accurate it all is!!!
Joking aside, the majority of the characteristics outlined by my Life Path, Expression (derived from your name) and Accommodation numbers (your house number reduced to a single digit) did resonate with me as being fairly precise. I think numerology is good at pinning down your character traits, what your motivations may be and funnily enough, the current situations you are dealing with, which is actually quite useful if you're at a cross-roads in your life. For seeking out answers to specific issues and problems, it would be less useful however What really stood out for me was the tarot reading. Very quickly, Gayna got to the heart of the main issue in my life, which was relationships (an area that has proved difficult in the past), and predicted that there would be a new one coming for me very soon. So I'm going to watch this space! She also mentioned other issues which had been on my mind for some time, some of which I hadn't even verbalised; I was actually taken aback at the precision of what she said to me.
I don't pretend to understand how it all works and although I acknowledge that in some cases you might well interpret the readings to fit your own thoughts, I really felt that the readings I got back, especially the tarot were, on the whole, uncommonly accurate. I found Gayna to be extremely calm and approachable and her expertise shone throughout. I would definitely recommend the experience.
