Hello again
I think pendulums are great tools and love them for working with chakra's. But for personnel questions I find that I control the pendulum by my hopes, beliefs and desires. I think unless we can really step aside (which clearly I can not lol) ....the results may not be accurate..I tested this theory by asking the same question and expecting the opostite result..which I got.
I also think that tarot cards and similar things all can only give you the most likely outcome based purely on that moment. Every time our views or wishes adapt we take a slightly different path and as our possibilities are infinite..nothing can reliably tell us what are future will be.
But the good news is...I think if we learn to focus and hold the same goal or dream for long enough anything is possible :)
