My Aunt used to read tea leaves left after you drank the tea and she was amazing at predicting things, and I mean loads of things.
my great grandmother did the same thing with a very high accuracy rate I'm told. The story always gets told with her saying something was going to go wrong with a couples steering wheel. Then it did, and it put them into a tree.
Errrr ... Apeksha I'm on the fence with that kind of thing.
I have experienced the oaccsional paranormal event but I'm afriad I'm the worlds biggest realist. I always manage to rationalise everything. I don't know why I do that/this/it.
Maybe it's a talent ... or maybe I'm a cynic?
The nearest to believing anything of that nature in my world is Kabbalah related ... numerology and the like. And that's probably because I like numbers. They're reliable for one
a friend got a prediction that he'll have two boys born to him in five years, soon after which we learned that he is actually gay...
Before I converted to Christianity, I was a reader. I never got the grip on palmistry, but cards I was a whiz kid. I loved it. But I never read the future, only the personality, present issues, and offered some experiential advice based on the information I got.
And I was accurate 90% of the time. Becoming a Christian was almost an excuse though -- I hated the constant demands for (free) readings from friends, as they could be quite draining.
I've had a few precognitions over the years, too. Hate that as well. Trouble is I can't tell the difference between the precog and a regular dream until it comes true.
Famous ones Bertha Benedict, Silvia Browne.
But I think most people get fairly accurate predictions from their dreams.
The only predictions I pay attention to are predictions based on analysis of trends and data; environmental predictions, technology predictions, and some financial predictions. That doesn't mean that I believe them out of hand, but I will listen to them.
I dont believe in it.
But looking at it from a standpoint of randomness some predictions are just an average of what could happen based on stats.
I just answered a hub request with this hub:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Psychic-Predict … -disasters
That one also gives some of my experiences over the years.
Well I knew you were going to post this question, my mind can see the future and I often experience Deja Vu, did I just say that ?

Should we believe on future predictions made by astrologers? How true they can be?Astrologers make predictions through one's date of birth or by looking at ones palm or for head. Is it a science based on facts or just we are bi fooling us?
