Could people please share advice on how to close a rather gloomy reading so that the sitter does not feel too discouraged? I try to give people a balanced viewpoint of what the cards are saying, to stay even within myself so my emotional response to the cards does not play into it, but sometimes it is just clear that the picture is not a pretty one.
some things i have tried (though would not wholeheartedly recommend to anyone):
- summarized the advice the cards are giving (if there is any) so they are reminded there is a potential path forward and it is seen clearly (but sometimes there is no advice given)
- pointed out they have the power to change the direction things are going (but sometimes it is out of their hands)
- tried to give them comfort that "this too shall pass" (but maybe not, and pretty lame anyway)
- hardened myself a bit, closed the reading and just left it for them to deal with (chafes my libran sensibilities.)
