What are the common themes in fortune teller short stories?

I'm not sure specifically as there could be many 'fortune teller' short stories. But generally, it might be about a person visiting a fortune teller and getting predictions about their future, which could include things like love, career, or family.

A fortune teller lived on the outskirts of a village. A young boy, curious about his fate, sought her out. She read his palm and saw lines that indicated he would travel far. Years passed, and the boy grew up to be a sailor, traveling across the seas to many distant lands, just as the fortune teller had foreseen.

There was a young man named Zhang Sheng who believed that his fate was decided by a fortune-teller. So he went to a mysterious fortune-telling shop and asked the fortune-teller to read his fortune. The fortune-teller carefully observed Zhang Sheng's situation and told him,"Your fate is predestined, but you can change it through your own actions." You're a very talented person, but you need to work harder to succeed in your career." Zhang Sheng felt a little disappointed after hearing the fortune-teller's prediction, but he didn't give up. Instead, he worked harder and constantly improved his ability. Not long after, he made great achievements in his work and became a respected entrepreneur. The fortune-teller was very pleased with Zhang Sheng's success and gave him his blessings for the future. He told Zhang Sheng," Your success is not accidental but the result of your continuous efforts. Believe in yourself and be firm in your beliefs. You will definitely be able to realize your dreams." The ending of the story was that Zhang Sheng continued to pursue his dream and achieved his goal through continuous efforts. The fortune teller was also proud of his success and blessed him.

One moral could be that we shape our own future despite what is foretold. For example, in a story where the fortune teller predicts doom but the character overcomes through hard work.

Well, some of them might be true. There are those who believe that fortune tellers have a special gift. For example, I once heard a story about a fortune teller who predicted a woman would meet the love of her life on a trip. And she actually did! But then, it could also be just coincidence. Maybe the woman was already planning the trip and was in a mindset to meet new people. So, it's hard to say for sure if all these real fortune teller stories are true.

One interesting fortune teller story is about a woman who visited a tarot card reader. The reader told her she would meet a tall, dark - haired stranger soon. And within a week, she bumped into a new neighbor who fit that description exactly, and they became good friends.

One of the best fortune teller stories is about a woman who went to a fortune teller in a small, mysterious tent. The fortune teller told her she would meet a tall, dark - haired man who would change her life. A week later, on a business trip, she literally bumped into a tall, dark - haired man and they ended up getting married.

Sure. There was a story about a fortune teller in a small village. A young man came to him, worried about his future in love. The fortune teller looked into his crystal ball and said he would meet a girl with a red ribbon in her hair at the next full moon. Coincidentally, at the full moon, the man indeed saw a girl with a red ribbon at a village fair, and they later fell in love.

Often, in a 'fake fortune teller romance novel', there is a plotline of the fortune teller using their so - called skills to manipulate events in their favor regarding the romance. They might predict that the couple is 'fated' to be together which draws the two closer. However, as the story progresses, the truth about the fake fortune - telling starts to surface. This can lead to a rift between the two main characters. Eventually, they may overcome this hurdle when the fake fortune teller shows their true self and real feelings, and the couple reconciles.

Well, there's probably the fortune teller for sure. And there might be the person who comes to have their fortune told, like a client.
