When I was working in London, I was introduced to a tarot reader, Sarah-Jane. She turned my cards, looked me in the eye and said ‘Change’. She also saw young people, study and success. I left the event confused, as I never said a word to her about my dream of changing career to become a teacher. The next week, I got an interview at a teacher-training college, and then got accepted! Months later, I left publishing to follow my dream. Sarah-Jane had seen that happening! Have you had an amazing reading lately that you’d like to share with us? Or have you taken a ghostly snap?

Psychic Jane Hamilton-Parker is a former psychiatric nurse. She says: ‘I found this story truly fascinating. I must point out, though, that from my experience, I do know that demonic things can come from people’s minds, especially if they’ve had a disruptive background or an unhappy childhood. However, there are different levels of reality and negative forces can target people with different problems. I also believe that you may be able to feel an evil residue in some buildings where, for example, a murder has been committed. Similarly, there is psychokinesis, where objects can be moved without the use of any psychical manoeuvring. On the whole, I do believe that the people we need to fear the most are the ones walking around on this earth.’ For more information about…

Q & A Tube tunnels terrify me Dear Jenny In my 20s, I was on a crowded tube platform. Nothing happened to make me fearful – I was a lifelong tube traveller – but I had a full panic attack and fled! I’ve had a huge phobia of tube tunnels ever since. Sarah, 37, Edgware, London Dear Sarah In 1953, you were a 24-year-old man called Peter, when you were killed in a crash between two tube trains. Peter’s train tragically ran into a stationary train in a tunnel. Your phobia occurred at the same age you died in your past life as Peter. This should be all you need to know to get rid of the fear because you have passed the anniversary age of Peter’s death. You are…

Q & A But I’m a tennis player! Dear Jayda A friend of mine says I have swimmer’s shoulder, but I don’t swim! I play tennis. Penny, 42, Inverness Dear Penny You may have shoulder impingement syndrome, which is pain when you lift your arm up or behind. It’s caused by a muscle tendon catching in your shoulder. Swimmer’s shoulder can be confused with frozen shoulder – pain and loss of movement from inflamed tissue. Shoulder problems need treatment from a physiotherapist to avoid ongoing pain. Jayda’s hot tip Our bodies can move in so many directions, but most of us sit hunched over a desk all day. You can wake up your spine and stimulate your nervous system by bending in the other direction. You don’t even need to…

‘She walked through one of the thick stone walls’ ‘A cheeky ghostly chef had pinched my bottom!’ The ancient stone seat was bathed in sunshine. Sitting down gently, I sighed happily. It was a fine summer afternoon in 2005, and I was being filmed while I held a paranormal investigation at Elizabethan manor house Boringdon Hall near Plymouth, Devon. Ready for a breather, I sat in the gardens, looking across the lawn at the honey-coloured mansion. That’s when something incredible happened. The spirit of a woman dressed in Tudor clothing materialised outside the house. She’d walked through one of the thick stone walls! I stared, astonished, as she glided gracefully across the lawn in my direction. She was young and pretty, wearing a long cream dress, a translucent mesh veil…

Push he needed! My dad was a miner and had a unique experience, which he said was the handiwork of a heavenly being. He was working on the coalface when there was a rock fall. He felt someone push him out of the way. Shaken, he picked himself up and turned to thank his benefactor, but his colleagues were yards away. Dad put his rescue down to a guardian angel, and it’s hard to imagine how it could be anything else. From that day, our family have believed in them. Marie Maher, Sheffield Yasmin’s card of the month– your question answered, see p53 If you were asking about an important relationship, this card, Undying Love, is just for you! When it comes to matters of the heart,…

Stepping into the ancient bedroom, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. There was no doubt about it. Something was in here… something evil. It was May 2011, and I was the psychic medium with a ghost hunting team investigating reported hauntings at The Old Crown Inn in Birmingham. ‘A shadowy figure of a man appeared beside me’ Evil spirit Since we’d arrived at the pub, said to be built in 1368, I’d been spooked. I’d felt invisible eyes watching my every move. And my mobile had disappeared. Where on earth’s it gone? I wondered. But this ancient oak-beamed bedroom took ‘creepy’ to a new level. Paul, who was recording the investigation, and two young women who were also on the team, had followed me in.…

A cauldron is an emblem of creativity, growth and transformation. With its deep, round shape, it’s a symbol of the womb of the Great Goddess, arising from the concept everything is born out of it and returns to it. Linked to the hearth and home, they were also used to cook meals – a cauldron stew is a way of sharing love and companionship. But throughout the centuries, cauldrons have stirred up magical significance in many cultures. Seasonal symbol Many people use cauldrons as Halloween decorations because they're considered scary due to their witchy associations. However, Halloween is a time of crossover when the dead may walk. The cauldron certainly conjures up subconscious associations with this time. Fire burn and cauldron bubble Who doesn't remember the witches in Shakespeare's Macbeth…

Manager of a hospital project, I had a lot of hoops to jump through. But, after five years in the role, supporting people with alcohol and drug problems, I was getting increasingly bogged down with red tape. In January 2007, very fed up, I began to dream about setting up a wellbeing centre. But going it alone scared me. ‘You should try reiki,’ a colleague said. Dream A qualified counsellor with a scientific mind, I’d never explored spiritual options. To be honest, I wasn’t closed off to anything, didn’t disbelieve what others said, but needed my own evidence. If I couldn’t see it, it didn’t seem real. Now, though, I thought I’d try it for myself. And, during the hour-long reiki session, I felt tingling sensations and uplifted. After, my…

‘Seeing a plane in the sky made terror surge through me’ ‘I asked for a sign from the angels and they sent the crystal’ Just talking about flying made my nerves jangle and butterflies do somersaults in my tummy. ‘It terrifies me,’ I confided to the other people on an angel workshop in July 2005. So how on earth was I going to fly to Corfu the next day? Plane phobia My husband Harry had booked the trip, so we could take our daughter Gemah-Louise away for a week on his boat for her 18th birthday. Not wanting to spoil Gemah-Louise’s excitement, I pretended to take the upcoming flight in my stride. But inside, I was fighting the panic that threatened to engulf me. Despite flying a couple of times…

The awakening power of Jupiter moving through Scorpionic territory of strong emotions, repressions and secrets could mean great upheaval from 10 October. Make sure you’re ready for the changes that await you… Profound change Planet Jupiter last moved into Scorpio in October 2005, staying there till November the following year. That year, some events took place that profoundly changed the outlook of the world… Russia turned off the gas to the Ukraine, and the West realised the threat. The golden-domed mosque in Samarra was bombed, destroying one of the holiest sites for Shia Muslims – this was the point at which events in Iraq began to spiral out of control. Lesson to heed Scorpionic willpower and intuition add voltage to spells and boost psychic abilities. But with Jupiter there, all…

‘A scary, black demon was by mum’s bed’ Most kids hate bedtime, but my reluctance to head to the land of nod had nothing to do with hoping to watch more TV or stretch out story-time. I didn’t want to go up to my bedroom as I was terrified of what lurked inside it… Up to the age of 5, I had an idyllic childhood in Ireland with my extended family. Mum struggled to cope with me, so when I was 9 months old, my grandparents, aunts and uncles took over my care. They didn’t have two pennies to rub together, but the love they gave me more than made up for it. But aged 5, my dad picked me up and took me to Bristol where he lived with…

Maternal bond I was born in India after my father Eric, an industrial chemist, was offered a job there in 1926. He and my mum Kathleen were dedicated Christians and did a lot to help the local community. Aside from her faith, Mum had a gift for fortune telling. But she gave up reading cards after telling the fortune of an Indian soldier. She saw he’d lose his wife and then kill himself. It upset her, so she vowed never to look into the future again. In 1968, my dad, a heavy smoker, went into hospital to have an op on his arteries. He was recovering well when our phone rang at home. ‘That means he’s died,’ Mum said sadly. She was right. My poor dad had developed a blood…

In the 1950s when my parents were young, they were renting a house in a South Wales village. It was the end of the evening and my dad and mum were having a cup of cocoa. Suddenly, someone hammered at the front door so aggressively they were too scared to answer. The door started to give way. Dad told Mum to go upstairs and lock herself in a room. He got a large stick and opened the door…no-one was there! Then Dad looked down and there was snow, with no footprints. Whatever had been knocking wasn’t human. They left forever the next morning. Tina Preston, Greater Manchester…

Your relationship The Full Moon on the 5th is a real sizzler, so enjoy going a little crazy. Anything that’s a stress buster is what you need.

Nothing ever changes Dear Yasmin After years of feeling out in the wilderness, I've been sensing the winds of change, but nothing's happening. I try to stay upbeat, but I seem to have cycles of elation followed by disappointment. Valerie, 59, Blyth, Northumberland Dear Valerie You got the Inner Wisdom card, which says: You know what to do. Trust your inner wisdom, and take appropriate action without delay. You’ve just been through your second Saturn Return, so it’s doubly time to use your own inner wisdom.

In May this year my wife and I called time on our public ghost hunting events. We’ll still participate in private paranormal investigations – you’ve not got rid of us totally! For our last public event, we investigated a place that I had long wanted to delve into… Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales. Atmospheric Gwrych is a ruin now, with huge walls, towers and an atmospheric feeling. And of course, it is haunted. We were met by a team of guides – Matt Baker, head of the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust (and a font of all knowledge on the castle and its history), plus Robin, whose parents used to live at Gwrych, and Lloyd the castle cat. After a brief tour we got down to the investigation. My first port…

It happened so suddenly. One moment I was happily curled up in front of the telly. Next, I felt really nauseous. Stumbling to my feet, I rushed to the kitchen where my mum Isolina and sister Claudia were cooking lunch. Something’s wrong, my mind was screaming. But when I opened my mouth, no words came out. Then I collapsed on the floor in convulsions. Suddenly, I could see the whole scene as viewed from above – both of them panicking, my body lying on the floor. Next, I was dragged back into a dark tunnel. Calling It was 1984 and I was aged just 18. I feared I was dying. Then, a man I couldn’t see started talking to me though the inky darkness. ‘You’re not doing the things you…

Ghosts need angels’ help, too! Reading about how Suz's mum Sheila let her know that she needed help (right) reminded me of a family holiday in 2005. We were visiting Pendennis Castle in Falmouth and were sitting on benches in the gatehouse, whilst the guides talked about the history of the castle – with lots of ghosts thrown in. Well, it was Halloween! I felt my daughter Holly, 7, cuddle up to me and hold my hand. But then I realised Holly was sitting at the other end of the bench. We found out that other visitors have felt this sensation. It’s said to be the ghost of a maid looking for her mum. My heart went out to her, and I asked the angels to help. Michelle Cherub’s corner…

‘My father’s face was clearly visible’ Signs across the divide One last time Living 500 miles from my family in Scotland meant I didn't get to see them much. I was in Didcot, them in Airdrie. I missed them all terribly, especially my dad Jimmie, 70. Growing up, I’d been a huge daddy’s girl. So, when he became ill with emphysema in 2006, I was tormented that I couldn’t be there. I called nearly every day, but it wasn’t the same as giving him a hug. Or holding his hand. Just before Christmas I received a call at work from my sister, Joan, now 66. ‘Dad’s in hospital,’ she said. ‘It doesn’t look good.’ Immediately, I got on a train from Oxford to Glasgow. On that train, I prayed that…

Your relationship Mercury’s travelling through partnership-orientated Libra until the 17th, which means the first half of the month is going to be joyful. Look out for a blip around the 9th, when Pluto’s black clouds threaten to rain on your parade. Think your way under and around obstacles, or give in gracefully if there’s an argument that neither side can win. New love It’s a top month for romance as the personal planets move through lovely Libra. Find ways of meeting a new crowd.

Your relationship Your love life takes top billing as Venus and Mars cuddle up in your sign on the 5th. Extra rapport and great sex get you in a wonderful mood! However, don’t be complacent. Saturn’s setting up some obstacles that may put your unity to the test. Make a pact to tell each other everything if a difficult situation – or relative – rears its head.

Your relationship Venus squares up to Saturn on the 8th, and Mars repeats the picture on the 11th. This may mean a trial separation or perhaps you’re struggling with closeness. Remember that a partner can only block you if you let them – and vice versa! Rigidity of any kind won’t work. New love If you’re holding a flame for someone you met on holiday, early October is when you’ll find out whether your feelings are mutual. There could be somebody interesting at work, which is risky. But if you’re looking for excitement, jump in. The 18th and 19th are the dates when love will blossom. Career and money Your work and career won’t feel stable, especially if you’re in the midst of changing jobs. But this does offer you…
