if something is a turn off for someone, why do you think its okay to ask the cards that question? isnt it pushy and rude gaining information using tarot that you wouldnt gain another way?
in my opinion, absolutely not. in the example I used above, if I contacted her again I'm sure my chances at the company would be pretty much shot ... not just for the position in question but for any future ones. In business there is a very
fine line between assertiveness and being aggressive. Asking a business contact (one you barely know) why they aren't responding to your emails is aggressive. It could come off as demanding or maybe even confrontational. And if I come across like that, not only would I be embarrassing myself but I'd also be embarrassing the person who put me in contact with my contact. As for the rest of the people, I can't answer for them since I don't know their whole situation but I can somewhat sympathize for some of them (based on the limited information some people have given on here).
I have been in situations myself where I met someone I was attracted to and immediately wished I would have known what they thought of me. I didn't know how to read tarot at the time, but if I had, I would have asked the cards. But its just because I know personally if someone I met just asked me how I felt about them, I'd be pretty uncomfortable.
I'd think they were coming on too strong and I'd tell them something like "I dont know, I just met you" or "what do you think?" Not because I particularly care if they knew how I felt but more so because I'd be uncomfortable that they could be so forward with someone they just met.I'd feel as if they were overbearing and were rushing me to make a decision about them and where I wanted things to go between us. And that would cause me to shut down.
i am not attacking you, i am just wondering if we think that tarot can bypass our morals, principles etc just because people cant tell we are doing it? should we still play these to tarot?
well, its like what other threads have said before: it comes down to how you feel about doing third party readings. I don't think doing a third party reading is immoral so I don't feel like I'm bypassing any moral principals. I feel when I do third party readings, it's pretty much just speculating anyway. Now if I really knew that what I drew were 100% without a doubt accurate, maybe I'd feel differently about doing them. When it comes to third party readings, I actually worry more about the sitter than the person in question because the sitter is putting themselves in a position that makes them vulnerable to misleading themselves into believing something that could possibly be so far off from the truth.
