I read with her recently. It was absolute rubbish. She kept throwing out random info hoping something would stick. It was ridiculous and probably one of the worst readings I've ever had.
"What's your connection to Colarado?" "None." "Are there mountains around you?" "Uh, nope, not for hundreds of miles." "Who is the Scorpio or Saggitarius? Or it could be an Aquarius or Pisces?" The whole reading kinda went like that. Then she said she sees the Pisces coming back and the number 38. Ironically "the ex" is a Pisces and he's 28 but as far as I'm concerned that ship sailed a long time ago and I don't entertain thoughts of he and I.
Anyway, my only question was did she see any potential with the new guy I am sweet on. She was way off from the very beginning saying "I can see why you're upset with him." Huh? Not upset at all, it's great, I was asking about future potential with him, lol!
The final kicker was that she said I would be ENGAGED by February!!! Wth? Oh, and I'll have a choice with whom I'll be engaged and the Pisces is one of my choices. My gawd, I'm half tempted to ask for a refund! Bahahaha

You know... I had a somewhat similar reading with Barbara recently on a few aspects.
I DO have to say that she was right on a couple of things. She told me to stop spending money so freely because I was going to hit a short-lived financial patch. She ended up being right - my check for freelance work I do ended up being delayed by over a month due to some changes within the staff.
I also asked her about whether I'd meet someone anytime soon and she kept rambling about New York and West Virginia and there being two guys, obviously one from one place and one from the other that were both older. She was throwing out sun signs too - Maybe a Leo. One was married before. To a Libra perhaps. Are you a Sagittarius? (I'm Aries...)
Barbara has been really accurate for me previously, but my last couple readings have been a bit hit or miss.

I was re-reading this thread because I knew I had some notes about readings in there...
I have to say, I'm floored by Barbara's accuracy looking back. 100%? Absolutely not. But was she pretty darn good? Yes. FOR ME. I always emphasize this.
In my very first reading with her, which I had totally forgotten about, but had recapped here, so I learned today, she predicted the exact time frame in which I'd get a new job AND that I'd move. She's also been pretty accurate in picking up guys I'd meet. As I said in an earlier post, she predicted a Leo coming into my life that I'd like well enough, but wouldn't be interested in dating. I met him. She also mentioned a man, slightly older than me, from New York. I've recently expressed interest in a man, a few years older than me, that is from New York.
I did call her today and asked for a general love reading. She read the present situation pretty accurately - I'm single and carry burdens over it. With being a wife and mother my deepest desire, she was right - I struggle with singleness often. I didn't mention this at all to her though, just let her talk which I found is the best way to read with her.
She described a man coming into my life sometime this summer that was eerily accurate the above mentioned New Yorker. I hadn't planned to ask directly about him, but when detail after detail resonated with him, I went ahead and asked. She says we'll date and that he'll fall in love with me. She also sees us meeting in a group setting, possible with family. Thing is, I've been trying to coax a family member into setting us up.
I'm not sold on this, of course. He went on a date with my friend's co-worker at some point in the last several days, which is all I know about that. I haven't exactly wasted time sitting around moping - I'm too busy with my own life to worry about who someone who isn't totally aware that I exist is doing - but Barbara did have some interesting insights into it all.
In agreement with another poster a few pages back - I think Barbara has her "good" days and her "not so good" days. I've talked to her before when she's told me all sorts of details and random pieces of information that didn't make sense then, but did later. I've talked to her when she's made predictions and they've happened. But I've also talked to her when I've hung up thinking "that was utter and total rubbish." In fact, the call before my most recent one with her was like that. Today though, she seemed "on." We shall see.
Another prediction she got right - I called and asked about when I'd get a check I was expecting as it had been delayed. She said "not until after the first of November." I thought she was surely wrong. It was mid-October and it was already about a month delayed. I got the check in question the first week of November.
Taking it all with a grain of salt and focusing on other things since I have 5,000 other things going on right now.
melancholia:
Barbara is one of the people who I called right after I found out about my pregnancy. She saw that it would bring my boyfriend and I closer together, and I would meet his mom and she'd help convince him to keep it. She said she saw me having a healthy boy and the two of us living together and most likely married.
I miscarried a week later, almost immediately after I told the boyfriend, which almost caused us to stop speaking entirely because he flipped the hell out and put himself into denial. So.
She impressed me at first because she was able to accurately pick out the signs of all three people involved in this mess I call my relationship and could accurately describe all of us without me giving her anything. But nothing she said panned out. I mean, the ultimate outcome with the boyfriend is technically still pending, but I'm pretty sure that's just because he has no intention of ending things with me (because why would he? I can't bring myself to withhold anything from him and I already know I'm his emotional support system) so it's really just a waiting game of seeing which comes first: I finally get fed up with how things are going or he wakes the hell up and sees how he's screwing up his life and decides he wants to make some changes for the better. (God, that sounds arrogant, but I promise I'm not saying that just because I'm awesome - the reasoning is entirely practical.) So I can't really credit Barbara with anything since she was so insistent that his mom would play a huge role in our smoothing things over within a timeline prior to her death, and I never met the woman before she passed.
So. I don't know. I think she gets little things and then extrapolates from there, because once she's hooked you with the small stuff the rest can be a fairytale and, as long as it doesn't have too much substance or can't be verified, you'll swallow it down, hanging onto the small correct tidbits of information to give you hope. And it's a good ploy, because psychologically we're wired to believe what we want to hear. It's why confirmation bias is such a problem among voters.
...Nope, I'm about to get political so I'm going to stop my post there. But Barbara is a big "no" in my book.
