I do a lot of reading on the forums here, and with regards to card meanings and readings, I'm finding it disturbing how many people seem prepared to read about the thoughts, feelings and intentions of a third person, and how many are willing to comment and give advice on those types of questions - for example - does he want to see me again - does he love me - is he cheating - does he prefer her to me.
Personally I feel questions framed this way overstep boundaries and are an intrustion of privacy. This third person has, after all, not asked for a reading, nor given permission for their thoughts, feelings, intent to be read or mis-read!
Of course it's all in the question. IMO the question should be focused on you if reading for yourself and the client if reading for others (- not John, Jane, Peter, Paul or X, A or B). EG: Does X love me? would be better put Do I have a loving relationship with X?
Questions focused in this way, I think, give far better readings with deeper clarity about situations anyway. Ok it seems without intention I've focused on the romantic/relationship area but the majority of these intrusive types of questions seem romance orientated. I think framing the question firmly around yourself/client is more beneficial as it encourages taking control and responsibility for ourselves.
In any given situation aren't we better asking what we need to know and how our actions affect a situation?
And shouldn't it be the readers responsibility to help and advise their clients to form questions that that:
a) will enable the clearest reading and b) don't intrude on a third person's privacy?
