Just a note to self, hopefully a subject for discussion.
I have noticed a stark difference in my readings for myself and others between asking for situations that exist and situations that are potential.
I've adjusted the meanings of the cards accordingly.
So when someone asks me what feelings someone has for them and I get the King of Cups I will adjust that to the fact this is someone they barely know and who likely hasn't even had the time to develop the corresponding feelings it would have if someone was asking about their husband.
As a matter of fact sometimes it's even "worse". Say someone asks about someone's feelings for them and that person is someone they barely know who is married to someone else. The person whose feelings they are inquiring about might not even have registered their existence or might simply have zero feelings for them. Asking what feelings he has might actually end up reflecting the closest thing (the feelings said person has for his/her spouse or the feelings the querent he/herself has).
Which also reminds me I am opposed to reading for romance when it concerns people who are in relationships with others but this request gets ignored sometimes.
I was also thinking about the fact that readings, before the internet, were done in person so a proper context to the question being posed was obtained before or during a reading either by disclosure or body language.
Anyway that's it.
There is a HUGE difference in quality in my readings when I am given proper context and when there is a proper context to ask about because cards simply don't mean the same thing.
I've taught myself to ask keeping that in mind when I read for myself and I have seen an improvement in accuracy.
