More importantly, his report was very detailed and advised us of ways to enhance our luck for the upcoming year as well as things we should avoid.

I had previously had some experience with BaZi which is Chinese birth chart reading similar to astrology but at the time I was 17 and everything the previous friend predicted has come true throughout my 20s. So I'm a firm believer on this style. Adrian was very attentive and supportive in a sense to hear you out on what you're going through and he confirms that his readings are aligned with you first by asking about some major events that happened in your life. The only thing he doesn't do is look into deaths(I don't care to know anyway) After telling him my goals and where I'm feeling stuck he made suggestion on what I could do to defer or avoid certain undesirable outcomes that would deter me from my goals based on my personality or impulses. He breaks down what each areas of your chart mean and how they correlate to each other and to our life. He gives very specific directions on what to do or where to find help in today's modern world, like for me giving blood would mean I not only do a good thing but also avoid blood shed in a bad way like major surgery or major accidents - Basically there will be time where I'm losing a lot of blood so to derail that from a bad situation, I can donate blood so that it is still blood shed but in a positive aspect. Ultimately at the end I finished with direction and some clarity and was motivated to take action right away. Thank you Adrian for your practical advices and directions of my life's road map.

If you're looking for a feng shui consultation in San Francisco's Chinatown, this was a unique…read moreexperience. I was able to book a same-day appointment and was curious about feng shui in ways to improve luck and alignment. What I appreciated most was the depth of knowledge shared throughout the session. The consultation went beyond feng shui and incorporated elements of Vedic and Western astrology, along with ancestral traditions and cultural history. One of the most fascinating parts was learning about the history of Chinese spiritual traditions and how certain practices, shamanic beliefs, and metaphysical traditions were preserved in places like Hong Kong after periods of political and cultural upheaval in mainland China. It added an educational and historical dimension that I wasn't expecting. We also discussed palmistry, the symbolism of moles, and other traditional metaphysical practices. The session was a thoughtful conversation that connected my history and present. A great experience for anyone interested in feng shui, astrology, and traditional spiritual practices while exploring Chinatown. I found the experience informative, engaging, and well worth the visit as Chris prescribed ways to increase luck!

We went over what it was specifically I wanted from his service, and I told him I wanted to make more money and hopefully have more children. He asked me some details of my birthdate and a few other things before opening some app or program that was in all mandarin (I'm not for sure which language but I assume mandarin). He enters the info I gave him and he wrote down some stuff and gave me a breakdown of certain things to do in my house if I wanted what I asked for. This is already a long story to tell, but let me tell you what I remember most. I slept with my head facing (I believe north) and placed two clear glass cases filled with water and fresh green bamboo near windows facing east (I'm realizing how crazy this sounds writing it but I assure you this is absolutely 1,000% true!). After doing the fengshui he instructed, I had starting making more money than I was before all of this within the second week! I owned and operated a small printing business at the time and business started to gain traction! I believe that these type of feng shui are done by the year so the following year I didn't have it done and my business slowly became stagnant. Over the years I lost contact with Chris but recently became in touch again. Glad to see he's still doing it and helping others bring favor into their lives! I have a meeting with Chris set in the next couple weeks and am looking forward to what he is able to make happen! Side note, this type of thing is NOT magic or anything like a palm reading. You absolutely must do certain things to see the results you are looking for. Not sure what he charges now, but am more than happy to pay what his services cost. There is not a dollar amount to match the value Chris can provide with his work. 10/10 highly recommended, thank you again for all you do Chris! Follow up on the children, my wife and I are now on baby number 6 due in November! Sold my equipment for the printing business and am positioning to make more money. I'm confident Chris will be able to help me bring the favor I'm looking for.

I still occasionally have some stiffness, but the range of motion issues haven't come back!

She was able to come in and, within an hour, pinpoint exactly what we needed to bring more flow and positive energy into key spaces in our home. One thing that we wanted her thoughts on was a big ceiling beam over our bed. Most Feng Shui books I'd read recommended hanging bamboo flutes from the beam, but I couldn't bring myself to hang little trinkets that totally went against the decor of the rest of the room. Ashley was able to recommend a simple but effective alternative that made a huge difference. After implementing some of her suggestions, the energy has completely shifted in multiple parts of our home, bringing much more light and fun energy in. Here's the thing - energy is one of those things you can't measure. You just have to trust. But if you're here and reading this, there's likely some part of you calling out that the energy in your space needs to be shifted, and there's no better person to help you with that than Ashley. I highly recommend working with her!

Rating 2.3 stars; rounded to 2. Here's my backdrop info if you haven't read any of my other reviews…read moreof psychics. In addition to being a scientific/engineering consultant, I'm a mystic, spiritual teacher/healer & intuitive. When I travel, I often get readings from psychics. I've received readings from 250+ psychics in my life. Since I'm a mystic, my life is filled with Divine love & grace, and my mind is calm & quiet; this makes it easy for a good psychic to read me, but a psychic with limited abilities won't see much b/c there are no dramas/crises/problems in my life that would emerge as blips on the psychic radar screen. Please note that when I visit a psychic, I'm not seeking help with problems, nor with any wishes, nor answers to questions, nor am I seeking spiritual guidance. Rather, I visit them because God asks me to do so, and to have a fun way of connecting w/ supernatural practitioners. Finally, I am very good at setting boundaries with people, including pushy salespeople & unethical psychics who may to con me or upsell me. So, when reading my reviews of psychics, it may be VERY HELPFUL to bear in mind what I wrote above, b/c your own experience with the same psychic might be very different from mine -- your mileage may vary (from mine)! Further, my reviews of all psychics are for psychic readings only, and never for extra services that they might offer, such as healings, cleansings, or spiritual guidance. I visited Susan for a tarot reading on 12/16; I prepaid the $150 fee online. As I always do when getting a reading, this was a totally cold reading: I told Susan, prior to the start of the reading, only my name and date/place of birth. I told her nothing more about myself until after the reading ended. Susan did ask me for 3 questions before the reading, but I declined. I also noted that I did not expect any future predictions (fortunetelling), because, beyond a few immutable events that are fixed in space and time, it is difficult to accurately forecast the future (because humans have free will). Overall, the reading was not at all accurate in terms of Susan's reportage of my life; as I told her several times during the reading when she asked for feedback, I felt that the reading was 95% inaccurate, with another 2% that was vaguely accurate but also misleading, wherein two things that she had presented as happening in the present had occurred 27 years ago. The few things that she managed to report accurately, although they were almost always somewhat vague, were that I seemed to be an old soul, that I seemed to be very healthy, that I would live a long life, that I have a very good and loving relationship with my wife, and that animals (which I love) are strongly attracted to the love that emanates from me. Susan also offered the observation that my tarot card spread contained an unusually large number of major arcana cards, and that the spread contained almost exclusively only very positive cards (and yes, that is an accurate meta-level snapshot overview of my life). She also briefly and very vaguely mentioned that one card indicated healing energy around me (which, while very non-specific, was accurate). Overall, she seemed to keep the reading at a very vague, generalized and philosophical level, never offering specifics or details about anything (in any case, as noted above, 95% of what she said was inaccurate). Incidentally, I must mention that strangely, Susan kept referencing my birth signs (in Western & Chinese astrology) to offer bland and generalized claims about me that were often inaccurate. Worse, these boring and uninvited philosophical ramblings about astrology were not from tarot, nor from any other supernatural sources. The reading at times became tediously annoying, because Susan often strayed into uninvited/unsolicited philosophical discourses about tarot, and it felt like she was attempting to turn the reading into an academic class on tarot, rather than giving me information about my life. This was NOT what I paid for! Even more strangely, she asked me three times if I would like to learn more about reading tarot cards or other cards so that I could do readings; each time I firmly declined. I later realized that these repeated and entirely uninvited/unsolicited overtures were sales pitches to try to interest me in purchasing her books/courses on reading cards. Incidentally, unlike many psychics, Susan did not attempt during the reading to push any upsells on me, beyond her multiple unsolicited attempts to interest me in lessons on reading tarot/angel cards, nor did she try any cons on me. LEGAL STUFF: FULL TRANSPARENCY DISCLOSURE RE POTENTIAL COMPETING INTERESTS: Shortly after this review was published on Yelp, Susan contacted me via email & offered me a full refund of the fee if I would remove this review. I declined her ethically-questionable offer. This unethical offer caused me to derate her original star rating by 0.3 points, from 2.6 down to 2.3.
