Behappy,
I am really trying my hardest not be negative, and please forgive me if it comes off that way. You've spoken to a few readers who have been completely wrong for me in the past, and, quite frankly I think they are dangerous readers because they feed you stories. Many readers will give you a 3 month period because that's the length of time keen provides for feedback. This way you're unable to leave negative feedback when nothing happens in 3 months... That is, unless you keep calling them in 3 months anyways (which is what they want), and their stories will change and you'll hear all about "delays". Quite frankly, and sadly, just like amaranth, many of my timeframes have come and gone with no contact from the man in my life. Something is happening as Cookie said, but it's minor and for some reason it has pissed me off anyways because I'm really starting to wonder why my guy hasn't taken any opportunity to step forward.
Sorry for my rant. Just e careful with these readers. I doubt readers who give 3 month timefRames. Good luck to you and to everyone. I apologize in advance if I'm a bit negative the next few days :(

@behappy If I were you I would just sit back for now and let things unfold. It is true, in general, that guys respond better when you don't contact them at all. It makes them feel like they have to work.
Also, the readings are going to start sounding the same and then you're going to call a reader that says something totally different and throws you into a tailspin.
With timing, guys aren't as focused on time like us. They can be busy working, hanging with the boys, games, whatever for a while before they even think about a woman. Also, they're very one-track, so they can only focus on one or two things at a time, where we women can think about a million things at a time and multi-task. I would just fall back for a while and let him come to you. It feels better when it happens that way anyway.

Hi Behappy,
I'm quite new to this site and haven't been posting much, maybe just because I had never read with any of the Keen psychics. I rely on CP mostly. Funny thing is that our stories seem so similar and the readings you got seem quite the same I got from CP. I also got positive outcome (well most of them was positive, except couple). Dawn from CP gave me a negative reading. I'm just wondering if you were to call her, what would she say to you? LOL
-
@Synergy, I really agree with you on the 3 month thing. That was one of the reasons I shunned astrology readings, as I saw a pattern there. But even thinking back to what I wrote about VJ this morning, she said 3 months multiple times to me, about him, us and his family.
The one thing I will be very curious to see is this: I had a favorite tarot reader. She admitted she was not good with time frames but she did have a track record for 2 years. ie if she said December, it may not be the December coming up next but it could be the Dec in 2 years. Well, I started to read with her in 2010 (have to check the month). She did predict a new man in my life which was true (but again, honestly how many readers will say that?). But she did also predict my old guy coming back and as I've said, it gets further and further away from what I see. At least now I know I'll exercise my own free will and turn him down as my new man is wonderful. :)

Synergy, your post needs to be stickied on this forum.
What's happens a lot (and I'm not saying this is behappy's case) is people subconsciously gravitate towards readers who will tell them what they want to hear. After you've been on keen for awhile, you either realize this is happening or you write off all psychics as fake. Many times, in my experience, you may stumble upon 1 reader who gives you a negative reading, whom you immediately write off, but in the long run they turn out to be correct.
-
I agree, when I first started on keen, alot of the readers mentioned gave me the fairy tale story, however after 8 months on keen and $$ down the drain, I realized they were all fakes. Take warning, read this board and you find people that have gone through all the stuff you have and finally found 1 or 2 people on keen that are real.
I first thought all readers were ethical then I realized that 99.9% of them are fake. I wish I could turn back the sands of time and I would never have joined keen however I cant but I can warn all new followers of keen, looking for news that take heed, least you fall into despire.
-
Thanks for your advice @synergy and @guesswho.
Thanks @Stelka - I've never read with Dawn at CP.

That's so true and it's human nature. I know I called the readers who made me feel good more. Then I had one that was OK but told me he was with someone else. I didn't believe it but found out months later he really had been! (I found out after they broke up - he basically did the same thing to her that he did to me - stopped talking to her) So I got all excited that this ONE reader picked up on that in the right time, and called her back thinking she was the one!!! Silly her, she forgot to ask me if she had read for me before, I didn't mention it, and she pretty much repeated word for word what she had told me months earlier! Except this time I really did know that he wasn't seeing anyone and she was telling me he was, in the same words that she had used before. Major bubble burst and money wasted.

Hi All
I used to get all excited about those positive fairy tale readings , but no more. I learned the hard way with a lot of disappointment and $ spent that so many of them on Keen are either really not psychic at all or afraid to tell you the truth. I think they so afraid of getting bad feedback that they tell you something to make you happy. I know this sounds weird , but I will only call back psychics who see something negative. It doesn't have to all be negative, but at least some of it. But, I do say to them at the beginning in a serious manner, that I am totally okay to hear the truth , good and bad. You would be shocked to hear how many of them say "really??". LOL.
So does anyone here have a psychic that they can recommend that is not afraid to say negative news? I don't care about timing at all. I have yet to find a psychic whose timing is always right, so I don't count on that any more. I just want to speak to someone who is not afraid to say what they see
-
I only spoke to the CP psychics and few of them gave me bad news...Dawn, Uriela, Sula and Bettina. I called Dawn and Bettina twice and both times the reading was negative. It turned out Dawn wasn't right about my bf at all. She is a tarot reader and she didn't see my bf reaching out to me at all. He did! Bettina said that he has some alcohol problems and is a womanizer. God no! He might be comittment phobia but not a player. Hope this helps.
-
has anyone here read with MsDon on keen if so how was it was she accurate
-
Hmm, she seems interested. This is her site..she may be cheaper..didnt look
http://psychicmsdon.weebly.com/testimonials.html
-
No, I haven't spoken to MsDon , but I don't call anyone who refuses to share a photo of themselves, unless they come recommended. Even her website has no picture of her and besides, she is too crazy expensive to just try out. If anyone ends up getting a reading with her,I would love to know how it goes , please.
Stelka, I used to speak to a Neela at CP. LOVED HER!! She wasn't there for very long though. If anyone knows where she is now , please share!
-
Hi all, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned SanSanVi. I found her remarkable. I think she started with Keen in February and her prices have gone way up since then so I can't chat as often but I really thought she was excellent. She is very articulate, intelligent, stays focused on YOU and gives details like you would not believe. I just sat back as she typed away after asking my question and naming the people involved and my jaw nearly hit the floor as she gave some info about people and personalities etc that were just dead on. Nothing blanket that anyone could make a lucky guess about. I believe she is one of the very truly gifted readers on keen. i'm sure there are many more but she is one I haven't seen mentioned here yet so i thought I'd share my experience if anyone wanted to try her. Best wishes.
-
I can't find her on Keen. Can you post the link?
-
I have her under my favorite advisors so I can find her but I did notice that if you type in her name, she doesn't show up. I don't know why. I think she got very popular as she started just a few months ago on Keen and within two months her prices went up to about $4.30 ( I think). Anyway, I believe that if you google "SanSanVi" and Psychic Keen, her listing will show up. Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll see if can get a link for you.
Very best to you :)
-
Not sure who asked for the link but here it is for sansanvi

Thanks :)

I looked up magical sandra. she seems very popular. some great feedback. She's a little bit expensive though, so I will have to save up! I called a few based on their price and their waiting list being long (lol)
I did end up calling sapphire21. Had to wait almost 2 days before I could speak to her. She is great. She is very gentle and a wonderful empath. She really nailed a very difficult relationship I am having and looked at some solutions. She is super talented. Deborah Mills was also interesting. She doesn't ask questions and right out the gate she starts in. She was pretty accurate. She spoke so fast though, I wasn't sure if I just thought she was accurate because of the stuff that I did recognize ( out of tons of things that she says) hit home and stayed with me. Also, I feel I need someone who helps me understand things . . Gabriel the Messenger, was very kind, but I did not feel he was all that accurate. He had great feedback though.
-
I talked to Gabriel a number of times in 3-4 months. I really liked him. He got one point of contact right but that was it. Said I had nothing to worry about, we would be back together (this was over a year ago). It has never happened though.
-
I am still finding my way around these forums. I don't really know if I feel Deborah is gifted or not. The first thing she said right off the bat was very accurate, but I felt that maybe alot of people are going through "change". But she did she it was a new business venture with great potential. All the rest was so fast, honestly, I can't remember. Lets just say this, I will not call her back, and I did not feel I could leave feedback because I was so uncertain.
I looked up SanSanVi -7.00/min? That's just too rich for my pocket book
-
Yes. It's too bad. I don't know why SSV upped her rates so dramatically. Oh well. I was lucky to talk with her while her rates were a lot lower. I liked her a lot. Sorry you all. I wouldn't normally recommend anyone over 4 dollars TOPS. I still stand by the fact that she was GREAT for me but that was before the 7 dollar an hour rate. Very few could afford that. If her prices get lower again, she's a good one. I imagine they are all in it for money btw...it IS a business... but that is awfully high. Makes me wonder what percentage keen takes from their readers. Who knows how rates are decided. Strange.
-
Keen readers change their rates all the time. Check and see if they have more than one listing.
Look at this one: http://www.keen.com/Norah%20Jones
She has a bunch of different categories. They often have different prices for each and usually love and r/s is the most expensive one.
-
That's very true SunandMoon and a very good point. I've noticed the same thing about the price changes for different listings.
We don't know how keen works really and how readers are encouraged to place their prices or how much of their money that they earned per chat keen takes from them. I for one would be super frustrated if i spent an hour on the phone with someone, helping them with every single question ..charged 2 dollars per minute and only saw ...say...30 % of that... not to mention the advertising fees to have your name on the page etc. and the pressure of good feedback. I really don't know how keen pays their readers and what the cut is so it's not my business to judge what they charge.
I also wonder if readers up their prices during weeks when they don't really need to do readings or are extremely busy (for example (they have another job that is keeping them particularly busy, they are under a lot of stress, sick family members, or children home from school) so they up the rates big time during those periods of major activity and figure "I'm so busy right now that if someone wants to call me for 20 dollars an hour...then I'll take the call! Otherwise, I'll wait til things calm down." Let's not forget that keen readers are indeed working and they do deserve to be paid for their time. It's all a matter of how busy your life is and how much your time is worth I suppose. Would YOU spend 1 hour on the phone with a complete stranger talking about very personal details and trying to predict their future for free? Of course they are in it for the money. It's a business just like anything else. It's a caring business but still a business. A therapist charges a hundred dollars plus for an hour..so why should a psychic reader NOT charge as they are essentially offering the same service except they are tapping into their intuition.
BTW. this is not meant to be an argumentative post. I just want to consider the other side to why readers might charge higher fees than others and point out that they are indeed in it for the money. i don't know many readers who would do something like that for free unless it was for a best friend or something. In fact, I have a very good friend who is psychic and I always insist on paying her when she gives me readings and even then I don't want to ask her to do it much because i can see how drained she is afterwards.
Anyway, just something to consider. Have a good day you all! xoxo

I totally agree Stonyeye, a psychic on Keen is someone who is trying to make a living and their price will reflect what they need . But 7.00/minute? That's just way too crazy. At that price, I find it hard to believe that someone is really focusing on the service they are providing. I am very curious about those psychics that charge 10.00 + - particularly the ones at 20.00
I would love to hear from someone that has actually had a reading from someone that charges that much. I think that those people who charge that amount don't really care at all about how they read and it's all about getting the curiosity callers or people so desperate they will pay anything to get a reading that makes them feel better. I mean at 20.00 you just need to speak to someone a 1/8th of the time that you would need to if you were a 2.00 - 5.00 psychic to make the same amount of income. I personally would not pay anymore than 4.00 and maybe 5.00 but only if they were AMAZING!!

marybell,
I called PennyC a few times last year because I thought she had to be correct since she charges $20. Absolutely not. She was completely wrong and could never give me any details I could validate. I am embarassed I called her more than once, but that was when I believed in all the fakes and would keep calling all the readers who fed me fairytales.
-
i read with a $10/min few years back before, just for a few mins. they will just say what you want to hear, to make you feel good. i personally don't think they are real.
-
synergy, just curious, when you did your life coaching session with kisha, did you pay her psychic rate?
-
Thanks everyone for the positive responses to my post!
Lightme,
I sent you a PM.

Thanks for this Synergy
Did she read fast at least? Did she at least fake being good? Lol. For that amount of money I would hope she could pretend to say alot in 2 minutes. I wonder how come she gets good reviews?
