I have 3 reading I need to do (from the reading exchange). Each time I try and read, something happens. Someone calls, or I don't feel well, or am too sleepy, or last night, no Aeclectic! Do others have these 'fated readings' that just don't seem to come off (I will try again soon)?

happiness, I don't know if it is fate, but I have been trying to do a relationship reading for my brother for about a week and a half and keep getting interupted. Very frustrating.

It's funny you should mention this. I was very excited to try Magipixie's Power of Three spread with my 2 sisters, but the night we were supposed to meet, on of them got stuck in traffic. We decided to get together on Saturday instead, but my daughter got sick. Now I don't know when I'll see them. This week one is away on business and next week the other is going away for vacation. Things definitely get in the way.

Murphy's Law is universally applicable, and it shows up all the time in my life in regards to tarot readings, especially when I try to take on too much/too many at once. ~LAS

In general when a querent doesn't make it to a reading it is though not obvious but the querent is not ready for the reading, and it doesn't matter what his conscious says. S/he is just not ready and there will be probably many more excuses until they are ready and when they are there will be no more interfering issues to get to the reader. When the reader doesn't get to do a reading, he has a inner issue to face. Lets just give one example, lets say that you won one million dollars and they call you and say that you can pick them up today between 16:00 and 18:00 hrs. I bet that no interference will get in the way of picking up one million dollars. The cell phone will be switched of or any other phone, you just won't basically care about anything other than getting there, nothing will seem important. What I am trying to say is the "external events" are noise nothing else. Issues are always internal. In business there is a saying “the busiest people will find time for everything” When this is happening to me, and it did once or twice I ask myself why am I not getting to do what I want or promised to do etc., and I usually find the truth within myself and the noise as excuses. The last time I remember this happening to me is when I did a reading, that I didn't want to do for someone that was on their way to divorce, and I knew it (though they didn't), as I basically couldn't get myself together to do the reading because either I had to lie or give it gently or what? As I felt uncomfortable with it I just found my way out of the reading. Nevertheless, I also encountered myself not reading or postponing readings when I am in a bad mood but won't admit it to myself, the list of reasons goes on, and on and on....
