There are some people, that I just can't read. Usually it will be some one that is bipolar or ADD. Does this happen to anyone else, and if so, how do you overcome it? Or do you just tell the person that you can't read right now?

Maybe try asking what the cards mean to them? This is often good all around and could help here.

My significant other was doing readings at a SF convention about 14 years ago and he had a guy sit down with a smirk who told him that NO ONE could do a reading on him. Well, my guy tried. In a thoroughly randomized deck the 14 card spread he used came up ALL the majors in sequence. He told the guy that he was obviously trying to 'out-god God', which ended up being true. The other guy just smirked, got up & left.

If this guy had had a reading that knocked him on his ass, he would have gotten up, smirked and told everyone he couldn't be read. To answer your question, Ambyr_rain, some people close themselves up so much they CAN'T be read. Or what I sometimes find, is I am reading fine, and suddenly the door closes and the cards make no sense at all, they have closed down. It isn't a reflection on me, just on them. And I don't worry about it.

I knew a lady once who had her cards read by a man who predicted her daughters death in a terrible car crash he said he had nightmares about it and all, I tried to tell her that he was probley a charletan but she wouldn't listen and ever scince then when she has her cards read she blocks them even when I tried to read them, I used Titanias cards and lo and behold the cards came up as a death for a child BUT I think she some how managed to make them appear because thats all she wanted to hear her daughter did have a life & death situation alright she won tatslotto! first division so I thinks thats what I saw and the other reader. I mean thats pretty life changing don't you agree!

I know a few people who I find it 'challenging' to read for. One of them is an ex-girlfriend from many years ago. I find that more psychic people are easier to read for. However, I read for this girl the other day. We both felt the reading was wrong, and I couldn't connect. A few days later I tried again. Amazingly, the reading was very similiar. In other words, even though I thought I had failed, I had in fact been more accurate than either of us had realised.

Tatslotto is a game where you either pick out numbers or have a computer give you a computer generated quick pick which picks out the numbers for you and if you get the right numbers you win money first division is usually anything up to 1 million and over, there is a special new years eve one here in Australia running now and the first prize is 31 million! The odds are high though. Blessings

When it happens to me, it is usually a symtom that I am about to go into a period of dormancy, & I no longer worry about it. But just once....mmm, well, I was reading for this person & all is well then without warning it felt as if the room was filling up with other prescences & I was "switched off"....I am absolutely no medium, yet it did feel as if there were spirits there.. so I said to the lady how I felt & she laughed & said 'oh that always happens to me!' & explained that all her efforts to have any kind of divination met with the same result & other clairvoyants had described the same feeling. It was very strange, & has never happened before or since. I am not sure what the explanation was, & as I said, I am no medium. 'Twas just a feeling.
