YES! I AGREE = my query is to see insight into the KHMER culture ... I think I am bumping up into a cultural difference = Much appreciated to see others insights. Thank you for your comments!

I was convinced of my predictions which BTW did come to pass.

They didn't come to pass, you associated something with it and hindsight is telling you you were right. That's the way the horoscope works. "You will have a pleasant surprise" can be easily associated to about 30 different things over a day by your brain. Unless you wrote down very specific outcomes and they all magically happened, well, newsflash: you can't predict the future...

But it's also true that a much larger percentage of women believe in stuff like this vs men. I'm guessing this is cross cultural as well, somewhat related to how our brains work/perceive things differently.

On a similar(ish) topic many many years ago I got talked into seeing a tarot card reader who was meant to be 'amazing' ffs. I went, for amusement only, and picked some cards and listened to this woman tell me my future. I also had to put my hands on a crystal ball and she 'read' my energy. lol. It was a joke and £150 for an hour. What a racket!

But....pretty much everything she said was going to happen to me, has happened to me.

Hmmm.....

Undecided.

I think its possible to focus on material things that you really want in yr life and then make it happen. Some would call that magic or spiritual. I like to believe in a spiritial world and I think yr right probably more women believe than men. I have very few friends who have not been to a psychic at some point.

What are you talking about? Focusing on a specific goal, working hard and then achieving it is now considered "magic"? No, it's called visualization combined with hard work. It's not "predicting the future". No offense, but you should pick up a psychology book or something. There's nothing remotely magical/spiritual about setting your mind to accomplishing a task and... accomplishing it.
