Is there any one reading that you knew you'd remember for a really long time? Or a reading that hit it perfectly or predicted some future event that came true in a special way? A reading where you read it and were just amazed? Or maybe a reading where you read it and didn't think much of it at the time, but then later it hit you what the reading really meant or how it was true? What is the most striking reading you've ever done?

but I received one from a beginner some 10 years ago. She layed down a spread 4 me in a party with all kinds of people around and then she said "Alex., I don't think it's working, I'll just shuffle again". Then I insisted and she said_very embarassed cause my hubby was beside me_ that the marriage I thought I was very happy in would be short-lived; that my (at the time) hopeless professional situation would turn around and I would receive an expected opportunity; that I would travel to another country and that I would have money flowing in and out for a while. A couple months passed and I got a phone call from the US inviting me to participate in a half million funded research project; I moved over here within a year. By then my marriage was already a hell and I finally separated from my husband in the 2nd year after the reading. And yes, money came in, money went out. Nothing like that was in my plans at the time she read the cards for me, but things began to unfold right after. I had no question. I let her read for me because she was after guinea pigs; she had learned the Tarot in a 3-month intensive course... Oh well.

Hello, I once did a horoscopre spread (cards in a wheel of twelve- starting at 9 o'clock and going counter-clockwise, each representing the domain of an astrological house) that I thought was TOTALLY off from the first three cards that went down. The more I pondered it, the more it seemed just WRONG. So I spent fifteen minutes or so doing relaxation and mind-clearing exercises, lit a candle and shuffled the deck for a while, sifting it in my hands and letting my mind wander- then I dealt: the same first three cards came up, as well as the same card in the sixth house and the tenth! So I took out a notebook and began to write about each card in its position and found the spread was right-on about where I was, I just didn't want to look deeper. Now I almost always write about personal spreads in detail, I don't know why writing about it shows me so much more than the internal monologue of my own thoughts, but that's been my experience. -Nina
