Myths & Truths About Fortune-Telling

1>

Myths: Every time I ask my fortune to be tell, my life span will reduce.

Truths: Fortune telling is just to provide you a suggestion and advice thus your life span will not be reduce.

Occults(Western & Chinese) theories: Fate is fixed whenever a person is born, however a person's destiny still able to change depend on the person's will and choice make in life. Different fortune-teller/occult practitioner have different ranking for fate and destiny(some state 60% is fate, 40% is destiny; for me, I'll state 80% is fate and 20% is destiny as in giving consideration of karma mechanism). Below is a standard ranking for the Chinese "I'Ching" on fate and destiny.

20% - Fate
20% - Luck
20% - Feng shui/ Geomatic omen (Environment structure factor)
20% - Knowledge development (Things you learn while implementing it)
20% - Ethics (The goodness you done in your life time)

Myths: Fortune tell/occults are all superficial.

Truths: In the modern context, Occults (Western & Chinese) theories have been very similar to scientific methodology; and to make it more understandable and realistic, many occults experts have uses many other theories from psychology, sociology and physics to explain its philosophy. For example, in occults - "being positive in life can bring prosperity in life too" and in scientific theory - "a motivated person is able to be more successful than people who are not". In simple term, many refers it to be the statistical methodology.

Myths: Fortune tell/occults are all untrue as many occult practitioners contradict each another theory (e.g. Astrologer A rank Leo as the luckiest horoscope in 2013 whereas Astrologer B rank Leo as the unluckiest horoscope in 2013)

Truths: There isn't any contradiction in many occult practitioners as different occult practitioners have different perception and evaluation criteria in ranking and explaining (e.g. an astrologer may rank or see love prospect to be more important than career prospect). In addition, humans tends to only notice the think they like and fail to acknowledge other perspective (e.g. In the theory of karma, when there are good there will be bad)

Myths: In Chinese Occults, as long as I'm born in 1988(year of dragon base on lunar calender) my zodiac is dragon.

Truths: There are 2 philosophy regarding on the changing of zodiac every year.

1. Basing on the Lunar calender
2. Base on the sun calender (aka Normal western calender) the changing of zodiac every year is on the 14th of February. For example, if you are born in 13/02/1988, your zodiac is rabbit; if you are born in 14/02/1988, your zodiac is dragon. 

Both are correct as different fortune-teller follow different philosophy. If for your personal use, you may just choose one philosophy to your preference. (^_^)
