    Some times its good to not know the negative/bad. It reduces the motivation levels, zest. Then later a person starts believing whatever is predicted is going to happen and the person broods over the same.

    So whatever is written in palm/horoscope actually manifests in the future as the negative thinking, brooding brings it to him/her (due to the cosmic energy). So it is suggested and recommended that a person takes in only the positives.

    When some one tells you the good things, the inspiration, zest and motivation for life boosts up and even if there are few bad things that maybe written in the palm/ horoscope they're superseded/ overpowered by the person's optimistic outlook and zest for life.

    10% is what happens to you and 90% is what you make out of it.

    So negative/bad happenings are generally not told.

    I think, like others have pointed out, that it can be either poor phrasing, or a lack of complete details. The 'hot' questions that are most often attacked are either related to sick or injured animals or breeding. I personally, and most others can't help feeling angry when we see questions about an animal that quite clearly needs immediate attention by a vet, but since the asker 'can't afford' one, will expect not only a correct diagnosis from a bunch of laymen who can't even see the animal, but also expect them to be able to instruct the asker on how to treat their dog with what they have at home. It's a matter of, if you can't afford to give your dog the care it needs, then you shouldn't own one. And for the people who mindlessly breed their pets, with absolutely no thought given to anything but getting puppies, who will spend the entire 9 week gestation period without learning a single thing, will wait until their ***** is starting to whelp, then leave her to start posting questions about what is normal & 'What should I do when...?'. They don't realize the risk they've put both their dog & her litter in and what's worse, they don't care. They figured all they had to do was mate & let nature take it's course. As far as general questions about training, routine care, and anything that's not putting your dog's life at risk, then I certainly would agree that there's no good reason that anyone should be given a rude answer.

    I live in a large city. There are many storefront "psychics" but these people are all one stop shopping. Astrology, palm reading, tarots, and everything else. Not specialists. The competition is large and leasing a store costs lots of money. If a person only practice astrology, I can see why they don't want to lose a customer to another.

    that's because not all those who pretend to be able to read hands are genuine astrologers or palmists. they make some predictions based on either half knowledge or just cook up stories according to their fancy. sometimes such people tend to make such comments that can discourage a person or instil fear. i have come across many such people myself.in fact, some of my classmates who are least likely to know anything of this sort claim that they can read hands. it's better not to show your hands to anybody and everybody and then get to hear some nonsense. i believe only established astrologers.

    Because astrologers do not read hands, and nor should they. Palmistry is the art of reading hands. Although there is astrology in palmistry, it is not the same. To understand palmistry as with any tool, it take years of study and practice.

    AA this has no logic in it. I have done studies in astrology and palm reading. There is no base.

    It can add up to confusion and fear if your brother shows his palm to every other so called palmist b cause it is difficult to find real experts.
