I'm curious whether your clients (or freebie sitters, if non-professional) expect concrete advice and direction out of your readings, or whether they're satisfied with the empowerment that comes from being given useful insights and expanded awareness regarding their questions.
I interpret cards in a spread as showing a range of possibilities and surrounding influences as opposed to absolutes. I don't give advice or try to offer prescriptive solutions, I intend to empower querents with knowledge of underlying, perhaps hidden, conditions so they can make their own choices. I only read face-to-face, so I make sure at the end of a reading that all layers of meaning have been explored and that the querent comprehends his or her options. My measure of success is that the querent walks away with fresh insights, and I stick with a reading until that happens.
What has your experience been in this area?
