“As we are human beings,problems do exist in our lives too. I do resort to picking up a tarot card for myself but I make sure that it does not happen on a day-to-day basis. Since I am into this profession since a long time,I rely more on my intuition and prefer going by it. There are days when I feel that my energy level is down but there are other ways to get back to routine life. In my case,I prefer being with nature; it gives me positive energy,” says Dr Yogitta R Wani,a tarot card reader,also a astro-vastu-gemmo-numero consultant.

Astrologer and psycho consultant Girish Shah feels that it is not ethical to use these skills for himself. He does not even apply his knowledge for his immediate family members. “Predictions come true only when a totally unknown person is my client. It is not impossible to separate my own wishful or negative feelings from my reading,so the prediction may not be accurate,” says Shah. Whenever he feels that there is a big problem,which is out of his control,he consults some other expert in the same profession.

But gemologist and astrologer Pandit Kumar Chandra believes that there is nothing wrong in using one’s skill for one’s benefit. For instance,he wore the stone Alexandra for 17 years and later shifted to Zircon as per his calculations. He has been wearing Zircon since the past five years as it helps attract positive vibes from people he interacts with.

Anupama Apte,a numerologist,firmly believes that God helps those who help themselves. She says she learnt numerology for her interest but it became a profession later on. “Whenever I am facing a problem,I get to know for how much time it is going to last. So,through my calculations of numerology I derive solutions as well. There are things you can’t change,like your basic number according to birth. But there are other numbers which favour you. So,when you are in trouble,being around people with numbers which are lucky for you,definitely helps,” she adds.
