I cant stress how important this is for me... I consider myself even after 10 years of studying, im drawn to the cards, I know they need to be in my life... I need someone with some experience to email me for a more personal look at my questions...

I would suggest caution with e.mailing... and it also deprives the community from discussing Tarot related issues. I wonder if you have considered ways in which you may post certain reflections and considerations without being personal, for then the varied responses would complement each the other. If it is more a reading that you wish for, then the main Aeclectic page has links to a number of options, including free computer generated readings and paid ones from MeeWah and Lee...

I dont mind sharing.... I just am new here and didnt know how people would feel about this kind of thing. I know I have strong occult influence, lots of supernatural things around me.... there is just one situation in particular I can never read on myself accurately..... does anyone know of a way to get in touch with difficult/complex situations to achieve more informative readings? I think I have too much emotion involved to do one msyself

Lucy, there are two (implied) parts to your question. 1) how can you learn to do a properly deep reading for yourself? ->This is the goal we all have, and are all sharing in, a process we all engage in, so stick with us... however for many the answer will be, as you have suggested, that for one's self it is well nigh impossible to do an accurate reading -- as we are not objective. So the next question is.... 2) how could you get a proper reading done by others. -> As jmd has said there are automated readings for free, and professional readings for hire. In addition, once you have made twenty-five posts, you will be able to accept reading offers on the Reading Exchange. However, as per policy in Reading Exchange forum, until 25 posts are completed, members may not ask for readings. -> You may on the other hand use the Spreads forum and the Your Readings forum to get outside opinions: See the Spreads Forum for help choosing a deep-digging spread for your question; then once you have chosen the cards and the spread, write out the cards and positions, explain your question, and post that in Your Readings, where you will get interpretations from many of us. This is one of the most valuable parts of the forum, it allows us to test out our interpretive skills, and allows you to see a myriad of possibilities that one person might not have come up with on their own.

If you want to learn, then you've come to the right place. Firemaiden's right - there are lots of ways we can all help each other to learn. And MeeWah and Lee are both amazing readers, if you choose to have a paid reading done. Welcome to Aeclectic! Luv, Fi. xxx

thanks for all your help! I'm going to try the suggestion of choosing a spread for a more in depth look , as well after I do my reading I will post it and I'm willing to bet everyone who doesnt have the personal attatchment will be able to see many things I didn't :) I'll post my reading later today! thanks again!
