Faith McInerney

Faith in Finance

Mcinerney, the straight-talking former star of the cable-television show Good Heavens, these days gives readings over the phone. She is willing to meet face-to-face but doesn’t think it’s necessary if she’s got all of your birth information. She likes to work over that information using charts, cards, crystals . . . everything. Her clients like her thoroughness: “I’ll pick up every rock,” she says, “and really do my homework.”

Philosophy: “I’m a technical astrologer. I work with formulas.”

What to expect: She likes to get as much information as possible—she’ll ask not only whether you have a partner but what your partner does, and if his or her company is publicly or privately held. Finances tend to be central in McInerney’s readings. “I have unfortunately unleashed a little group of litigators,” she says. “Whenever they have the chance of getting something from a lawsuit, they pursue it, and I guess they sort of clog court systems with nuisance suits. Which, incidentally, they win.”
