I tend to read more when I have a decision to make. The tarot is very helpful for that.
I completely agree with this. When I am at my most stressed and most anxious, that is when I am tempted to read the cards, yet I have found that this is exactly when I should NOT read my own cards. If I try to read, it seems that all of the worry and negativity I'm carrying inside of me inadvertently pours into the reading. My solutions have been: delay the reading for a few days until my mind is more settled, focus more on meditation and dream work instead, or participate in a reading circle here on the forum.
I tend to overread subjects that carry a certain fear with them. When I had a very bad job, for example. Now, mostly relationship and love topics. Yeah, that cheesy. Especially concerning other people's feelings. I feel like a smoking doctor sometimes .
However, lately I manage to stay away from the cards in these situations. I realized that I'm very sensitive to changing moods to the point of being unstable... and I don't want the cards to be a part of this.
I study the cards, read a lot of books, make a lot of card exercises and read professionally but reading for myself is actually irreplaceable. Sometimes I don't read for myself for weeks and months although I touch the cards every day. Repeatedly. I simply have no questions that I couldn't answer without bothering the cards for it.
That's why I start again doing daily readings.
Hi guys
I am posting this thread because my life has been quite uncertain within the last years. I am looking for job since months and for a committed relationship since years. Since there was so much confusion in my life lately (where am I going?) I did multiple tarot readings. I decided to do not read for myself for a couple of days (but I will gladly read for others).
My question is, during which specific time of your life (or given the circumstances) did you read way too much for yourself?
I feel as if most tarot readers have in common that they want to know where things are heading. However, the tendency of over reading on a topic can manifest when we truly don't know where life is leading us, leading to muddy readings I guess.
* If you don't read for yourself or feel that you are way above such behavior, please don't respond to this post
I used to do this when I was "learning" a new deck.
