ok, I haven't been reading tarot for so long ( a year and a 1/2) and I've only read for myself and friends (not so close friends sometimes) but there's something I've got to resolve before going any further...
what do u do when u're reading the cards and the querent stops u to say : no, that's not true at all actually (especially when talking about a person or the past) ?
does it destabilize you somewhat and u start doubting every word u say for the rest of the reading?? and start wondering who's at fault? are the cards wrong? are u wrong for not seeing the right interpretation? but shouldn't u go with what ur gut is telling u? is the querent just afraid or unable to admit something? (I noticed that when someone says something very true but unpleasant to me, i sometimes have the reflex of denying it, without thinking about it first)
I don't know, this really affects the rest of my reading, and I think it would be even worse with strangers. I don't want anyone to think i'm tryin to force a meaning on them so I ask them to look at the card sometimes and tell me their impression..
so for the people who've been reading tarot for a long time, does it ever go away? (the doubt)
how do u react when the querent strongly disagrees with what u said?
should u always formulate ur interpretations as questions rather than statements?
do u keep asking them questions till u get the right meaning for the card?
so many questions, i know.. but u can see I've been thinking about this a lot. Please, HELP!
