I have read with Cookie and AstroSarah twice each, and Barbara once. Here's what I have to say about each:
AstroSarah- very realistic and honest predictions- will tell you good with the bad; so if you don't want just fairytales then definitely give her a shot. She has incredibly good prices compared to other top psychics, and really, you usually get more than you paid for ( I only paid for half an hour and she stayed on the phone with me well over an hour ). She is easy to talk to and very honest ( she 'missed' her phone appointment with me and pretty much gave me her personal cell phone number ( she texted me from it ) which I would think as a psychic would be really risky as I'm sure lots of 'addicts' would abuse/take advantage of that trust by constantly texting or calling 'off the clock' to get further insight on their situation. So I feel she is a very genuine, caring person that puts her clients first just by that. However, pay her for one good, long session, because if you call her before projected timelines yet again, she'll just give you the same information she gave you last time and really not be able to expand on it, so you'll actually spend the majority of the reading talking like friends meeting for coffee, lol. Basically: good prices, honest and caring readings.
Cookie- she is my favorite psychic now. I spent about an hour on the phone with her last reading because I just kept adding money to hear more- because she is just FULL of information ( my poor pocketbook! LoL ). She is scary accurate- she ACCURATELY named several of the people in my situation as well as where they lived right down to the city, and their occupations. It almost makes you wonder if she's sitting in front of Google during her readings, because you will find it just unbelievable. Also able to accurately describe people, too, and I'm not just talking educated guess like 'tall'. I'm talking describing hair length, color, and even whether or not it's highlighted! I also like how you don't have to lead her on to get answers- all she does is ask you to say your name 3 times, and/or the person you're calling about, and she just launches straight into it. She talks fast and rarely repeats herself, so you will be able to squeeze a lot of info out of just a few minutes with her- which is good for folx trying to watch their spending. She's a bit pricey, but even then, still not as expensive as the top people at PS and other places, and I've found her more accurate than all, so she is worth every penny. Also, I came away from my last reading with her with total peace of mind- and i havent previously gotten that feeling with my previous 11 readings from others on the same subject. I just finally felt satiated- I finally felt that the Universe would provide for me in time, and that feeling was Priceless, and broke my psychic-calling cycle. Basics: Crazy accurate, detailed, and easy to talk to, doesn't rehash- gives you more 'bang' for your buck, however she can be hard to get a hold of.
Barbara- She seems to have worked for several others and that's great, but I just don't feel she connected at all with me. She seemed to kind of talk circles and got information incorrect ( saying either I or the friend I was calling about has 2 kids, and neither of us have any children ). She also gave the ages of at least 4 people involved, and was off on all of them by over 10 years. A couple of years I can understand, but 10+ years is too much of a gap. When it became obvious that everything she was saying and asking I was saying 'no' to, she said 'Well, you're really guarded right now' like it was my doing that she couldn't give me a good reading. Believe me, I'm not going to call a psychic if I'm just going to shut them out, especially with the cost of calling them in the first place. I gave her 10 minutes, but after that didn't bother adding more money and let the call drop. I was not impressed at all. Basically: Easier to get a hold of more than others and fair rate, but inaccurate. Believe me, I wish I could have faith in her accuracy, coz she told me I would suddenly come into money in July. I would love to believe that, lol.
So keep in mind this is just what my experience has been, and may not reflect that of others, or what yours might be should you call. But I agree with everyone else- if you can go without calling anyone at all, that's the better choice.
