Have you ever wondered how to secure a “compatible future” with your significant other? Dr. Rakesh Chopra can help you— he makes a living analyzing people’s personalities through pictures, voice, and handwriting. Originally from New Delhi, India, Dr. Chopra is visiting the Northwest and Seattle for the first time, and will be in the area until Nov. 15.According to Dr. Chopra, he’s here to help people experience deeper relationships as well as peace, joy, and bliss. To find out how, you’ll first need to pay up. Personal consultations are $100 per hour, while his online program prices range from $250 for one month of access to $2,500 for six. Once you’ve made your payment, the instructions are clear:1. Send an e-mail (specific & focused) about your Problem/Goal. Write very clearly what is the relationship; what is it that you want; & what is the situation in the present.2. Scan your photograph & scan the photograph of the concerned person (your relation) & e-mail along with your question at solutions@stepcircle.com. Photos can be in the jpeg or gif format but not exceeding the size of 500KB.3. Dr Chopra will respond to your e-mail within 36 hours of your payment confirmation.Chopra will only be around for another two weeks, so act fast — he’s staying in Olympia but can easily travel to Seattle, assures his representative, Marlene Bennett. Based on my voice, Dr. Chopra inferred that I’m someone who likes to ask questions (very telling, as I was interviewing him over the phone). I’m also confident but would like more organization in my life—true, I guess, but wouldn’t everybody?He also offers advice to celebrities (remotely), such as the advice he gave to Brad Pitt after looking at a picture of Angelina Jolie. Brad is “a very mature and down-to-earth person. [He] must absorb certain unacceptable behaviors of Angelina and she will be devotionally committed to him. Angelina does not actually mean to behave as she does at times, it just happens.” Somehow I doubt Brangelina were contacted for payment.— Halley Griffin
