Reading & Speaking
There is no scientific proof that anyone can truly tell the future. Some people believe in fortune tellers, astrology, or psychic powers, but these are not based on science or facts.
Fortune tellers may be very good at guessing or reading people’s emotions. They often say general things that could be true for many people. This can make it feel like they know something special.
Many people enjoy fortune telling for fun or comfort, but it’s important to be careful. The future is not set, and no one can know exactly what will happen. You have the power to make your own choices and shape your future.
