One of the most frequent questions I receive is: How can you tell if a reader is genuine?
It’s a fair question—especially with so many fakes and scammers out there.
The key to spotting a fraud is this: scammers rely on gathering information before the reading begins. Whether through casual conversation, observation, or sneaky questioning, their entire game depends on learning about you in advance. That’s why I always warn—never let a psychic come to your home. A simple glance around your space can tell them more than you’d imagine. And never let them ask you questions. If they’re real, they won’t need to.
Here in the UK, a well-known TV psychic medium was recently unmasked as a fraud—described as the biggest con since Yuri Geller. The emotional and psychological damage caused by such deception is immeasurable. But this is nothing new. My own family had close ties to Winston Churchill during World War II. At one point, Churchill employed a team of psychics to assist in decision-making. After a few disasters, he sacked William Roy, a conjuror, trickster, and fake medium. In the U.S., Churchill was sometimes dismissed as “that drunken bum,” but he had little tolerance for charlatans.
A common scam among phone psychics is called “stacking”—where each of your answers becomes the foundation for their next supposed “insight.” They build your reading off your own words.
People often ask, “What would you be able to tell me?” The truth is—I never know until I see their hands. The hands reveal everything I need to know. That’s one thing scammers can’t fake: the genuine art of reading from hand photos alone.
Take, for example, this hand—sent by a long-time IndigoSun reader.
Notice the square palm, long fingers, and stiff, heavy thumb.
This combination points to a practical personality that likes rules and order. The long fingers show a mind that is logical, observant, patient, and intelligent, with a deep love for detail. In Jungian psychology, this falls into the Thinking category.
This hand type corresponds to the ectomorph body shape: slim frame, long limbs, and a face often marked by elegance and sensitivity. In ancient Tibetan palmistry, such people are called The Heron—tall, graceful, but vulnerable, especially to stress and depression.
Now, let’s explore a few key markers that tell the story of this reader’s emotional life—particularly her romantic challenges.
- The heart line is flat, straight, and fuzzy, ending in a large blotch. This suggests a cold, emotionally detached view of intimacy—approaching relationships from a purely physical perspective.
- Imagine a pyramid divided into three sections: body at the base, mind in the middle, and spirit at the top. Most people function from the body, mistaking sex as only physical. But in truth, our experience of pleasure depends on which chakra is active. The higher the chakra, the deeper and more lasting the joy.
- There are seven levels of soul, and long-term romantic success only happens when partners are matched at the same soul level.
- Carl Jung spoke of the Anima and Animus—the masculine and feminine energies within us. These, too, are revealed in the hands. The right soulmate can often be identified by examining your hand’s archetypes.
This reader, sadly, gains little joy from physical contact. Both of her main relationship lines end in forks—a clear indicator of splits or breakups. The downward pull toward the Mount of Mars (planet of war) shows conflict. One line even merges with the Girdle of Venus, pointing to sexual disharmony, possibly frigidity.
Yet all is not bleak.
Though the children lines are among the least reliable, they do show her to be a devoted and nurturing mother. Her Teacher’s Square (1) confirms her success and appreciation in educational settings.
In traditional Indian philosophy, it’s said that women who deny the sacredness of sexuality may be reborn as men in the next life as a lesson. Women deprived of the spiritual nourishment of loving sex—whether by choice or circumstance—can become hard, aggressive, or withdrawn.
Let’s look at a few more markers:
(2) The curved Saturn finger (finger of destiny), paired with a bent Mercury tip (communication), suggests a distorted self-image—usually stemming from trauma between ages 1 and 4. Mercury governs how we first communicate, especially with ourselves. A noticeably short Jupiter finger (index finger) confirms low self-esteem.
(3) The stiff thumb speaks volumes—it belongs to someone who clings to past hurts and cannot let go. Chinese palmistry says:
“When storms come, wheat that bends survives; wheat that resists is broken.”
The multitude of lines across the palm reveals a high-strung, sensitive individual—overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Trust is difficult after emotional wounds. But a smaller relationship line beneath the two main ones signals that emotional success is still possible in the future.
As Thoreau said:
“There is only one cure for love, and that is more love. More love still. And even more love than this.”
