The fortune teller (at least, before this point) was a pretty reliable way to pick up the next thread to follow, in that if it tells you you can't continue the relationship right now then you can't, and if it tells you can by doing X then you can do X to continue. The only other misleading thing so far was telling you to go to the masquerade for demonea before you unlock that event, but it was very obvious that that was referring to something that hasn't been unlocked yet. "Talk to Elith" is something that has been unlocked by this point. And is the first thing I tried before even trying checking the fortune teller to see what specific condition it wanted.
If it tells you to do something to continue the relationship right now, it doesn't make sense for doing that thing to not actually do anything. This is as well treated as a suggestion to the dev (since they do read these comments) as an actual request for help.
A useful answer to my question would be "you need more story progress for the event you asked about, despite how the game doesn't tell you this". A not-useful one is one that only tells me the things that I obviously already knew considering I was asking the question in the first place.
It's possible that this particular fortune teller message was fixed in 0.74; I wouldn't know. But things like this are the sorts of feedback I tend to give most freely since there's pretty much no reason to not report player experience issues like this.
