Here's a question Based on the readings done for me and that I've done for others... The events that transpire in the cards DO and HAVE predicted the outcome of certain events BUT Those events were still a suprise because they didn't come out in a predictable fashion (or the way the querent and reader envisioned). Is this just my inexperience with readings (A lack of fine tuning) or is this a limitation of the cards (or even, a human tendency) to articulate a very detailed outcome. A crude and silly hypothetical, Reader: Sees an impending airplane accident Querent: Thinks, "Oh I won't fly this year then." Querent is struck by a remote controlled airplane in the back of the leg two months later (ouch). Just curious what others have experienced Thanks - E

In my experience, almost every situation that has been very important, and potentially life-changing, has also been very detailed; whereas almost every unimportant, or not potentially life-changing incident has been somewhat vague. But I think it also depends greatly on the person and their experience with the cards, and perhaps the cards themselves. Each person has a different style of interpretation and feels differently toward each card.

i feel you were close in your guess, a combination of the cards giving detail's, and the falliability of the reader, i might see a fall from the sky, you might see a child's toy, the end result the r-c plane you mentioned, but someone else might actually see the plane. in my experience i have had both very accurate predictions, and some that were just close. how many of the misses were my fault? who know's. did i miss something, or were the cards vague? without detailed notes of feelings at the time of reading who can be sure. alot will depend on how "connected" we are at the moment. contradiction
