I think tool vs non tool readers may also make a difference. I feel energy readers/no tool are good for the now or the very immediate future whereas Tool readers/tarot may give more accurate predictions far into the future as well. just my thought.
This is interesting.. poi and myself have been out of contact completely for more than half a year, and most of the no tools/energy readers told me that even if I did hear from poi, it wouldn't lead to anything significant (Leanne, Kisha, Kira, Rita Berkowitz, Cheri Mancuso, local energy reader). And the tarot readers (Yona, Mattie, Tara, Petunia among others) seemed to think he'll reach out and things will move fwd. Plenty of time still for even initial contact for me (late summer), but just found your post interesting @wishes
Exceptions were Brigette and Narnia (I think both of them are no tools) - they both said I'll hear from poi and it'll move fwd and their timelines are same as Yona and Mattie. Can't vote for accuracy yet, but will update few months down the road, if anything does or does not happen!
