I have a little story for you. I took up Tarot to better develop my intuitive self. Usually I read for myself. Sometimes I'll read for charity auctions, practice on friends and co-workers. While my readings are usually helpful to people, I'm not attuned enough to be highly detailed; for example, "Last week you met a dark haired stranger at the grocery store who you will marry in two years." Those aren't the kind of readings I have the insight to give.
This afternoon, I did a reading for a sitter I don't know well. We work in a large workplace, at opposite ends of the building in different capacities. She's in her 50's, well established in her white collar job and is starting to think ahead to what she wants to do with the rest of her life. During the first part of the reading, she wasn't outwardly reacting to anything. It was hard to tell whether she was getting anything out of the reading.
I then drew the reversed Queen of Swords. In the moment I interpreted it to mean that this was not the time to make a decisive decision about her future. She shouldn't rush into anything just yet. Without thinking about it I then said, "This is not the time to quit your job and hitchhike to Newfoundland." Newfoundland is far away from where we are. As far as I was concerned, this was a random place to mention.
She then asked me why I said Newfoundland. I told her it just popped into my head. The sitter told me that her husband has recently suggested to her that she quit her job so they can move to Newfoundland." There was no possible way I could have heard this somewhere!
The sitter was certainly more interactive the rest of the reading which went well. Hopefully she found the reading helpful. That intuitive moment was very special for me.
