Gen Z can't control the future, so they're paying witches and tarot readers to make it feel more manageable.

Gen Z can't control the future, so they're paying witches and tarot readers to make it feel more manageable. 2 hours ago 46 This summer, with torrential rain threatening her outdoor wedding, a bride did the one thing left on her checklist. She hired an Etsy witch to cast a spell for clear skies. "I just didn't know what else to do," she told her bridesmaid, Brooke Bekoff. "I hope it works; it can't hurt." A weather app had already told her it would rain, for free. Horoscopes, tarot cards, and astrology explainers are also only a scroll away. Yet consumers continue paying for what free content can't offer - someone to interpret their fresh breakup, career decision, or fear about the future. That desire for personalized guidance has built a big business. The U.S. psychic-services industry generated $2.3 billion in revenue in 2025, according to a July 2025 IBISWorld report. Revenue grew at an annualized rate of 5.5% over the five years through 2025, with nearly half of women ages 18 to 49 consulting astrology or a horoscope at least once a year. But IBISWorld describes the market as highly fragmented, leaving room for entrepreneurs who want to organize it. Bekoff, 29, is one of them, and her idea started at that very wedding. The rain continued as the bride got ready. But then, in a moment Bekoff described as straight out of a movie, the clouds parted right as the bridal party headed outside. Sunlight replaced the downpour, and not a single drop fell during the ceremony until it started to pour again after it ended. What struck Bekoff, a former growth product manager at TaskRabbit and Robinhood, wasn't just the weather. Of roughly eight bridesmaids, she recalled five or six saying they had recently hired Etsy witches for needs of their own. They lived across the country and ranged from Gen Zers to millennials. "I remember that being like, 'Wait a minute, this is such an interesting opportunity,'" Bekoff said. "There's really something here culturally." Paying for interpretation, not information. Part of that culture plays out online, where the pitch often opens with a hook: Stop scrolling. This message is for you. A tarot reader flips cards for someone who just went through a breakup. An astrologer tells Virgos that their dream job is right around the corner, so stay and watch this video. The message can feel uncannily specific, but it didn't necessarily appear by chance. Someone who watches, likes, or shares videos about breakups is likely to be served more of them - including spiritual guidance that speaks to the same worry. The appeal has even become a joke across Instagram and TikTok: "Me going to a tarot reader instead of a therapist because I need hope, not a diagnosis." Kaidong Yu, a marketing researcher at City University of Macau, frames it as the difference between information and interpretation. "There is already an enormous amount of free mystical content online, so scarcity of information is probably not the main source of value," he told Fortune. What a paid practitioner offers instead is specificity: "What does this mean for me, in my situation, right now?" That value may have little to do with getting a better prediction, Yu said. It may come from "the feeling of being heard, receiving a coherent narrative, validating an intuition or turning a confusing situation into a manageable set of possibilities." Buyers don't necessarily have to believe the magic works. In Yu's research on mystical consumption, one participant said feng shui objects made him feel more confident even if they didn't change his luck. Another said tarot didn't provide an answer but helped them think through their options. "The practice does not have to eliminate uncertainty," Yu said. "It can simply make uncertainty more psychologically manageable." Building a marketplace for the mystical. Bekoff set out to sell exactly that. After the wedding, she built Divina, a marketplace where practitioners offer tarot readings, spell work, Reiki, astrology, and other spiritual services. She launched the website Sept. 1. The model borrows from TaskRabbit, where Bekoff previously worked as a growth product manager. Practitioners set their own rates, and Divina takes a 10% cut of each booking. Bekoff expected to spend her first month recruiting practitioners. She didn't have to. Divina grew organically from two or three practitioners to more than 100, offering over 200 listings. Many already had social-media audiences and experience selling their services online. Demand remains much smaller but is beginning to follow. Divina has recorded more than $1,000 in bookings and receives a handful each day, according to Bekoff. Customers most often seek guidance about relationships, careers, money, and pregnancy, with offerings ranging from written tarot readings and photographed card spreads to "womb readings" for expectant parents. Some practitioners need a new storefront because of enforcement elsewhere. Etsy's policy prohibits spellcasting and services promising outcomes such as love, wealth, or employment. It permits tarot and psychic readings when customers receive something tangible, such as written results or a recording. The policy is longstanding, but sellers say Etsy has recently removed shops that operated openly for years and accumulated thousands of reviews, according to Vice. Etsy did not respond to a request for comment. Selling hope without guaranteeing results. Running a marketplace for the mystical carries some risks. Bekoff said she reviews every practitioner application and requires identity verification. Customers then have 72 hours after receiving a service to report a problem before payment is released to the practitioner. Customers must also acknowledge that they are not purchasing a guaranteed outcome. Someone paying for clear skies or a dream job is buying the service performed - not a promise that the wish will come true. That distinction is central to the business. Yu describes the product as "a structured experience of hope and control." The same search for agency is showing up beyond tarot, and it isn't necessarily pulling young people away from religion. Harris Poll data found 33% of Gen Z identifies as religious, compared with 18% of baby boomers, 22% of Gen X, and 19% of millennials. But many young adults aren't choosing one spiritual path. Libby Rodney, chief strategy officer at The Harris Poll, calls the mix "the Faith Stack." "Church AND manifestation AND tarot," she wrote on LinkedIn. "Not as contradiction. As construction." Half of Gen Z respondents practice manifestation by focusing their thoughts and actions on a desired outcome or use vision boards - collages that visually represent their goals - while three in 10 practice astrology or tarot, according to Harris. For many customers, a paid reading is not competing with a Sunday service or even with a free horoscope. It is one more tool in a spiritual kit they are assembling themselves. Fifty-seven percent of Gen Z respondents said they had turned to spirituality to feel greater control over their futures. "That's the reason that they are spiritual - they're looking for some sense of agency and control," Rodney previously told Fortune. Yu cautioned that reassurance can become harmful when it starts replacing, rather than supporting, someone's ability to make decisions. But for a person who feels powerless, even a symbolic action can offer a place to begin. And for the bride, it did. Whether the Etsy witch changed the weather, the forecast shifted, or the bridal party simply got lucky is almost beside the point. "Who knows if it was the Etsy witch? Who knows what it was?" Bekoff said. "I guess that's what faith is." * Homepage * Fortune Magazine * Gen Z can't control the future, so they're paying witches and tarot readers to make it feel more manageable.

Stop holding onto donation bags - here's how to take care of them without ever leaving your house.

Stop holding onto donation bags - here's how to take care of them without ever leaving your house. published now Save Your Favorites Whenever you see the heart icon, just tap it to save it to your account! SignalFeeds independently select these products - if you buy from one of its links, SignalFeeds may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. My New York City apartment is relatively small, and my bedroom is even smaller. And despite my best efforts to downsize and organize, I consistently remain amazed at how much space gets occupied by... stuff. Some of it is good to have around just in case, like boxes of bandages or cookbooks I only occasionally reference but can't bear to part with, but a lot of it is things I'm planning on donating. "Planning" is the operative word here, which means I often have large bags of clothes and whatnot sitting around patiently waiting to be hauled to a donation drop-off center. I'd love to more promptly clear out anything I need to donate, and now thanks to a new-to-me TaskRabbit service, it seems I just might be able to without having to leave my apartment at all. What is TaskRabbit's contactless donation pickup and drop-off service? TaskRabbit's new contactless pickup and drop-off service is a straightforward way to take donations to local charities without having to do the transport yourself. Essentially, it works the same as booking a typical TaskRabbit service; you just have to specify it's a donation and where you'd like it to go. This does mean you'll have to pay the agreed-upon Tasker rate, but in these cases, the app gives "a portion of [their] service fee to local nonprofits." You'll generally be able to give your tasker "most common donation items including furniture, clothing, electronics, books, and household goods," as long as they're in acceptable condition. However, TaskRabbit also recommends "confirm[ing] the donation policy of your chosen charity" yourself before booking and communicating any relevant info to your Tasker to make sure everything goes smoothly. Why this donation pickup service is so smart. The beauty of TaskRabbit's donation pickup service lies in how convenient it is. Sure, it isn't free, but you'll save time and energy, considering you don't have to go anywhere or lift any heavy bags. If you don't have a car, for example, or have a heavy piece of furniture that you'd like to donate but don't have a way to get it from one location to the next, this service makes a lot of sense to help make donating a little bit easier. Additionally, this can be a completely contactless service if you leave items in designated spots and share pickup instructions with your Tasker. Plus, you're the one choosing the organization that receives your donation, so you'll know your previously loved clothes, appliances, games, or furniture is going somewhere you believe in instead of sitting in your closet or trunk for another six months.

Rula teams up with Taskrabbit to help people make time for their Mental Health by literally taking tasks off their plate.

Rula teams up with Taskrabbit to help people make time for their Mental Health by literally taking tasks off their plate. Sep 29, 2026, 07:00 ET In honor of World Mental Health Day, Rula is launching "T(ask) for Help," covering new patients' everyday tasks to give more time to prioritizing mental health. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Rula, a national behavioral healthcare provider delivering high quality, insurance-covered care, is partnering with Taskrabbit to launch "T(ask) for Help," in honor of World Mental Health Day - an initiative designed to address one of the practical barriers that keeps people from starting therapy: finding the time to actually do it. The initiative is rooted in a startling fact: Nearly 50% of adults in need of mental support don't have the time or availability to seek care*. When people are already struggling, an overwhelming to-do list can make it even harder to prioritize mental health. To help move seeking care higher on that list, Rula is partnering with Taskrabbit to take one task off people's plates and give them back something everyone can use more of: time. Starting September 29 through World Mental Health Day on October 10, eligible new patients who book their first therapy session at Rula.com/taskforhelp will receive a $50 Taskrabbit credit to use towards help with an everyday task, creating more space to prioritize their mental health and take that first step toward care. "Too often, taking care of our mental health becomes something we'll get to when we have the time," said Josh Bruno, CEO and Founder of Rula. "But with so many competing priorities, that time rarely creates itself. At Rula, we believe mental health care deserves a place on everyone's to-do list, and our partnership with Taskrabbit is about helping people create the space to take the important first step of getting started." "You don't need a major home overhaul to feel a huge sense of relief. Sometimes just scratching one small thing off your list makes all the difference," said Tamara Rosenthal, SVP, Marketing at Taskrabbit. "Hanging a shelf or replacing a light fixture might seem small, but crossing off just one item gives you instant peace of mind. By partnering with Rula, we're making it easier to hand off that one lingering task so you have the time and mental energy to take care of yourself." Launching ahead of World Mental Health Day on October 10, T(ask) for Help builds on Rula's national "Turn Off the Talk Track" campaign, which was built on research-backed insight that our own internal dialogue is often what stands in the way of seeking the mental health care we need. This new partnership brings one of those familiar thoughts to life: "I'll start therapy once I get everything else done." Developed with creative and media agency Mischief @ No Fixed Address, the partnership and associated campaign assets underscore how Rula works to reduce both the emotional and practical barriers that can prevent people from accessing care. With a nationwide network of more than 22,000 licensed providers for therapy and psychiatry, Rula helps patients match with a provider in minutes, verify insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs upfront, and schedule their first appointment as soon as the next day.

Urban Company review 2023: can you really earn $1000+ monthly?

Urban Company review 2023: can you really earn $1000+ monthly? home_services gig_economy local_business Can Urban Company help you earn a steady income with flexible hours? Explore the potential, pitfalls, and reality of working with this local services platform. Urban Company: the gig platform transforming local services. Urban Company is a powerhouse in the gig economy, offering a platform for service professionals to connect with clients looking for everything from home cleaning to beauty treatments. Founded in 2014, the company has rapidly expanded to operate in multiple countries, including India, Australia, and the UAE. With backing from robust funding rounds, it's a major player in the home service industry. But can it deliver the earnings you need? Let's break it down. The real scoop on earnings. When starting with Urban Company, a newbie might pull in around $200 a month. It's a far cry from the advertised dream of quick riches. However, dedicated professionals who build a strong reputation often see their monthly earnings soar to $1000 or more. Payments land in your bank account swiftly after each completed service, with fees and earnings clearly laid out. So, if you're eyeing a significant income, remember: it takes time and ongoing effort. But not all tasks are equal. Cleaning gigs might offer less than high-demand beauty services, where premium offerings can boost your hourly rate significantly. For a broader view of how gig work stacks up, check out its analysis of GigSalad as an alternative for freelancers. Setting up with Urban Company: A user journey. It's straightforward to jump on board - sign up as a professional on their platform, create a profile showcasing your skills, and you're set. The onboarding process involves a thorough verification, typically taking 24-48 hours. During this time, the Urban Company team checks your details to ensure a safe marketplace for both professionals and clients. Once approved, you gain access to a user-friendly dashboard where you can accept bookings and manage your schedule. The flexibility here is a major win - you decide when and where you work. Before you start, though, be prepared to invest in some initial training sessions, especially if you're new to the type of service you plan to offer. Competition: where Urban Company stands. Urban Company's stiffest competition includes TaskRabbit, which also offers a variety of services but operates more like a task marketplace. Urban Company edges out TaskRabbit with its targeted professional services and integrated customer review system, fostering trust and repeat business. However, TaskRabbit might appeal more to those starting out with simpler tasks or testing the waters in the gig economy. For those considering supplementing their Urban Company earnings, platforms like Uber Eats for delivery gigs or Rentah for renting equipment offer additional income streams and could be a good fit depending on your skills and interests. The perks and the snags. * Flexibility: Choose your own hours and locations, which is perfect for those balancing other commitments. * Steady Income: Regular payouts after each service keep the cash flowing. * Professional Growth: With training and development options, you can expand your service offerings. * High Competition: Newcomers face stiff competition from seasoned pros. * Platform Fees: Urban Company takes a slice of each transaction, impacting take-home pay. * Demand Fluctuations: Income can vary with seasonal demand, especially for services like home cleaning. Insider tips for maximizing earnings. Want to excel on Urban Company? Here are some not-so-obvious tricks: 1. Specialize in High-Demand Services: Focus on beauty or appliance repair, often yielding higher pay than basic cleaning services. 2. Emphasize Unique Skills: Highlight any specialized training or certifications to stand out. 3. Leverage Customer Reviews: Encourage satisfied clients to leave glowing reviews, boosting credibility. 4. Seasonal Promotions: Offer seasonal deals to increase bookings during slower periods. Consider joining community forums or subreddits dedicated to Urban Company professionals to share experiences and tips - networking is invaluable for growth. Who is Urban Company best suited for? Urban Company is ideal for those with flexible schedules, including stay-at-home parents or students. If you're patient, willing to hustle, and don't mind a bit of marketing on the side, this could be a great gig. If faster-paced task work or a focus on a specific niche suits you better, platforms like Dolly might be worth exploring. Final verdict. Urban Company presents a solid opportunity for service professionals to earn on their terms, but it's not for everyone. If you're driven and skilled, there's potential here for substantial earnings. Bottom line: want to build a career offering local services? Urban Company is worth a shot. More of a side income seeker? Consider alternatives for quicker gains or niche markets. Did this help you?
