Hi, I'm new here but I have a couple of questions that have been bothering me, and thought maybe someone more experienced than myself could answer them. Now, I'm not particularly interested in occult practice or divination, I consider myself to be "about" spirituality, and esoteric knowledge is just one small part of that. In any case, I recently decided to go to a psychic just to give it a try, and there are some things that happened at the reading that I'd appreciate an educated perspective on. Oh yes, and this woman is well-respected, and came with glowing referrals from some friends. She used a Rider-Waite deck as well, not sure if that makes any difference.

1. I went to the appointment with the idea in my head that the only reason people go to psychics is to be told they have some "great destiny" in store for them. How often do you think that people are actually told that in practice? I could see unscrupulous psychics saying this to many clients to give them a more positive impression of the reading. If she said that I will leave a great mark on the world, and have something huge in store for me, should I make anything of that? I realize how ridiculous it sounds to even ask, but for all I know it could be something people are often told by bad psychics (though from what I saw and heard from others, she is good).

2. During my reading she asked me to shuffle the tarot deck, after she already did an initial layout, this time with the intent of finding out my highest calling or my career I suppose. After drawing several three card layouts, she eventually drew The Tower, The Moon, and a wands card which I can't remember, though it was a number (not a face card) and one in which there is at least one person in the face either 7, 3, 9 (not very specific, I know). She pointed to these cards, indicating they were the answer, but then moved on without elaborating. I didn't think to ask her to elaborate at the time, but I wonder if she avoided telling me because it was something unpleasant she saw. Do you think that's a possibility? I know both the moon and the tower have negative connotations, but I'm not sure how they function together, or what the implication of the wands card (whichever it was) might be. So I guess my last question is: What would the Moon and Tower card indicate when seen together? And what could the suggestion have been in terms of "career" or "highest calling"?
