But is fortune telling, reading cards, reading palms nothing more than a mix of educated guesses and a sense of the universe divined into words? I always thought of them as being incapable of locking someone's fate in place, offering instead options, to take accountability for our choices.

A possibility of many, like the many paths you're considering.

Perhaps if you were to see her again your fortune might have changed? I know there isn't a timeline to them.
