The best psychics in NYC

David Odyssey started his tarot and astrology readings in Bushwick, where he did a lot of work within the drag and comedy communities and, consequently, with a lot of people on gender, life transitions and different metamorphoses. His tarot readings are more about checking in and getting more clarity on what’s going on in life, while his astrology readings get into a person's core and also see what's coming up. Where David really hits his stride, though, is when he’s referencing Saturn Return, a critical life transition period that happens at the end of one’s twenties and then every 30-ish years afterward (it takes the planet Saturn about 29 years to make one revolution around the sun, thus the name). In fact, he’s publishing a book on the subject, which comes out on April 25. Visit his website for rates, availability and information on the book. (davidodyssey.com)

Calibre is a psychic and tarot symbolist who uses clairvoyance, clairsentience and a tarot deck. What sets him apart from others on this list: His oracle is entirely made up of postcards from around the world. His one-of-a-kind deck has nearly 500 cards and each card offers multiple metaphorical meanings. An example he gave was that fireworks could refer to “celebration” or “July” while a man wearing sunglasses could be, “fashionable, but shady on the inside.” Make sure to contact him for his schedule as he spends only half of his year in NYC (and the other half is in Hawaii, poor guy). By appointment only, $175/hour (derekcalibre.com)

His expertise in the ancient pseudoscience—which dates back, in various forms, thousands of years—allows him to offer relationship, health and even career advice.

Meeting with intuitive consultant, Peri Lyons, will feel as if you’re having a chat with a dear, hyperaware friend rather than speaking to a crystal-ball-viewing psychic—and that’s a good thing. Lyons is a bit unorthodox in her tarot-reading and counseling methods. But any nervous, first-time future seekers should take comfort knowing that she proudly presents her intuitive talents without a shtick. (Okay, there may have been a few tunes sung, jokes cracked and celebrity name drops thrown in during the session, but you get the gist.) Not only does she offer clients her awareness as to what has already occurred, what is currently happening and what may come in the upcoming months ahead, she also extends friendly advice and suggestions for how to help combat problems or roadblocks. (She'll even read your star chart upon request.) (perilyonsintuitive.wixsite.com)

She also offers a wide array of detailed PDF astrological readings on her website, though it’d be a shame to miss her glowing charm. Email angeleyedealism@gmail.com for East Village location.
