The Modern Mysticism Gold Rush.Walk through any urban neighbourhood today, and you’ll spot them: crystal shops, palmistry parlours, and numerology consultants advertising their services with neon confidence. What was once whispered about in shadowy corners has become a billion-dollar industry, complete with Instagram influencers reading cards for viral content and AI-powered astrology platforms promising personalised cosmic insights.

Across cultures and continents, from Vedic astrology in India to

feng shui consultants in Singapore, the hunger for glimpsing tomorrow has reached fever pitch. The soothsayers, have never had it so good.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth we need to confront: **our desperate quest to know what lies ahead is making us miss what’s happening right now”.

The Anxiety Economy of Prediction.

The modern mysticism industry thrives on a simple formula: uncertainty creates anxiety, and anxiety creates customers. The more we obsess over what might happen, the less equipped we become to handle what is happening.

Consider this cycle:

Step 1: Life presents natural uncertainty (career changes, relationships, health concerns)

Step 2: Instead of developing resilience and problem-solving skills, we seek predictions

Step 3: Predictions create either false confidence or additional worry

Step 4: When reality doesn’t match predictions, we seek more predictions to explain the discrepancy.

You don’t need to know your future to create it. You just need to be fully present for the creating.

The fortune tellers will always promise you tomorrow’s secrets. But the greatest secret of all is right here, right now, waiting for you to live it fully.

What do you think?

Have you found yourself caught in the prediction trap, or have you discovered the freedom of living unscripted?
