As Singapore heads into what experts believe will be its darkest economic year since independence, many have turned to fortune-tellers to help quell their anxieties and seek better direction in their lives amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Numerology expert Dr Khim Goh has been drawing more than 5,000 views to her live fortune-reading broadcasts on Facebook, where she offers advice on health, life, love and money.

Goh, 50, uses a combination of different divination concepts including numerology, bazi, qi men dun ji and i-ching to make her predictions.

Numerology is the belief in the relationship between numbers and personality traits, events and circumstances, while bazi uses one’s birth date and time to read their fortune. Sociologists believe that astrology and fortune telling are popular among those who subscribe to Chinese religions such as Taoism and Buddhism.
