Does your personal life have an effect on your readings? If your having a good day are the readings better than when your having a bad day OR are your readings always the same? I feel some days my readings are better than others because of what I carry to the readings. I have to be AWARE to ALWAYS let go of all my issues and ground myself to get the best readings.

If I'm in a very sociable mood my readings improve tenfold- I get really in-depth and find myself more eloquent, being able to convey the reading to the querent in a friendly, clear manner. I can also make them laugh, and that usually helps to stick the reading in their minds. :D Kiama

I agree with Kiama. When I am feeling loose and happy, my readings are a lot better. Worries banging around in head definitely cloud the issue. Even when the cards are dead-on, I still sometimes don't get it until later.

My readings do work differently depending on my mood and surroundings. I read alot better when there aren't people trying to get my attention every five minutes. I also think that when reading for myself my questions differ as well depending on my mood. So usually if I am in a happy mood my readings will be about more + things in my life and I will also be able to read easier about them cause I am in the right frame of mind. So much of a tarot reading is how a person relates to the image on the card that frame of mind it really important.

Ditto -- The cards for me vary with my mood. Better moods usually give more positive cards, or at least I'm able to see them more positively. Have been working on being more open to let the cards speak more loudly, to uncloud my mood and help me see them more clearly. But not always effective. Anyone have favorite techniques to help clear the mind? For me it's nag champa incense. I'm interested to hear what others do ...

I can't use incense for alergy reasons but I find deep breathing exercises work wonders for me :)

Try meditating before doing a reading. Also a good walk does a lot to clear the energy before doing a reading. Scorpio V

of all issues and thoughts helps. Yet, if I have had a troublesome day the cards seem to deal with me rather than the other person. After all, my cards tend to be like friends at times.--Tao
