Hey Everyone -
So, here's the deal - What do you do when there's a reading drought? You can only read for yourself SO many times (I choose not to read for myself anyway...) and there's no-one out there that wants a reading (everyone is content, it would seem)
BUT - I WANNA USE MY CARDS!...
Can anyone suggest something? Maybe there's Tarot project or something I can sit down and start - A big spread that will take a while to map out or something else I can do...
Any thoughts?

You could always design a deck... that should keep you busy for about 5 years or so! :D
The reading exchange here should get you plenty of hits, or you could pick a new tarot deck that is so completely differently different to what you know already you will need to study intensely for the few reading you are able to offer.

You can try Umbrae's method of sitting in a café with your cards and offering readings to all comers...

I've done that at the local Border's. Talk to the manager first but they are usually open to it. Even more so when the people I read for starting buying decks and books from the store..... And very often people will give you tips, or make appointments for more in depth paid readings, whether you want it or not!

Imagine that... I was thinking at first you meant you were having a dry spell and didn't want to read.
Besides offering readings in the Reading Exchange and sitting in cafes, I seem to recall an All Day Spread a daily spread by Lunalafey. It uses the whole deck and takes all day to figure it out. You could do readings for current events in the news and around the world. Astrological/horoscope readings are time consumming and lots of fun if you really want to get into it and check out astrological sites for the meanings of corresponding cards.
You could create spreads and try them out...

The Reading exchange is good because you get to try different spreads and you get to meet different people. If you join any of the circles or group exchanges then you're guaranteed some interaction.
