psychic
Sees the future
Psychic describes abilities or phenomena that seem to transcend ordinary physical laws—mind reading, predicting the future, communicating with the dead.
A psychic is a person who claims such abilities: She consulted a psychic about her missing sister.
The word also means relating to the mind or soul rather than the body: psychic wounds that never fully healed.
