There is a misconception that we are fortune telling. This is not true. What we are doing is looking at the symbology in the cards and attempting to interpret how the story presented relates to the sitters current situation, and how it shows recommendations for actions that will lead to one possible future. The sitter can always get up from the table and change that future. So if we always approach the reading from the point of view that we are relating to the sitter what we FEEL about what the cards are saying, we cannot be wrong. It is truly what we feel. If the sitter sees how it relates to them immediately, fine. If they do not, it does not change how we feel about what we see, and may relate to something that has not happened yet, or is just so vague that the sitter cannot find a connection at that time. But it is still our true feeling and therefore correct within the context of the reading. This is because the words you speak are coming from your own intuition and imagination. The sitter can take from it what they like.
Also, never be afraid to ask the sitter for input or clarification.
“Does this make sense to you?”
“Do you know this person that the cards speak of?”
Remember, we are Tarot readers, and we are reading the cards. It is not expected that we understand how what the cards are describing fits into our sitters experience; there’s no way we could. That is for them to work out in their own minds. This is why we take the time to encourage participation at the beginning of the reading. Leave the need to achieve miraculous ‘hits’ on correct information to the magicians. It has no place in true divination.
