Have you been searching online, trying to find out how to choose a psychic? If so, you've run into all those articles that warn you about the signs of a scam and when you should walk away. But what about the signs of a good psychic? How do you know when you've found someone whose forecasts and information are worth listening to? Here are a few considerations for when you want to find someone able to do a psychic reading for you.

Free Will Rules the Day -- and the Reading

A good psychic believes in free will -- and he or she will never attempt to control another person. For example, if you have the classic desire to get back together with an ex who broke up with you, a good psychic will help show you that it's not that person you want, but the qualities the person had. A good psychic knows that if the ex broke up with you, he or she doesn't want to be with you, and nothing can bring that ex back just because you want him or her to come back.

What the psychic should do is help you narrow down the qualities and feelings that you want in a relationship. Your desire should be redirected toward becoming open to other people showing up in your life who have those qualities and give you those feelings. Depending on the methods of reading and divination that the psychic uses, he or she could see how your current path might affect the chances of you bumping into the person you really should be with.

Constructive, Not Constricting

Sometimes psychics discover what most people would think of as bad influences and bad possibilities in a reading. However, a good psychic will always couch these in the best terms possible. Rather than tell someone that they're going to get sick, for example, the psychic can let the person know that there is energy in their future that indicates a need to really take care of themselves. Eating healthy, exercising, and generally being cautious can help that person increase the chances of staying well.

If the news is so bad that the psychic feels there's no way to make it positive, then the psychic should let the person know that something in the reading is indicating X event, but that nothing is set in stone, and that it's easy to let the mind wander to the worst possible scenario.

Curses -- Debunked Again!

Good psychics stick to the free-will route when it comes to curses. You know to walk away from psychics that claim you're cursed, but if you are already feeling that way, a good psychic will help show you that curses are really all in your mind. You have to believe in them to make them work -- so if you stop believing that you can be cursed, you can effectively end the curse.

Forget the Quick Cash

It's always nice to hear that you may have money in your future, but good psychics should stick to the "positive influences are in your future" route. That means no lottery numbers for a fee (and generally no lottery numbers anyway).

Good psychics are well aware that predictions can change at any moment as people change their actions and beliefs. Stick with psychics who are aware the universe is fluid and changing -- and friendly.
