chongjasmine Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 What do you do if you give off many inaccurate readings at a row?
Tiggy-cat Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Sounds like you need to take more time to deeply study and contemplate the cards in order to improve your understanding of all the meanings for each card and therefore improve your reading skills.
ashwsh Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Are you asking the same question to the cards again and again..until something changes drastically I feel the first reading stands. And if you are really keen on asking again, try a different deck. Edited August 11, 2019 by ashwsh
Grandma Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 I think it depends on where you are on your tarot journey. Are you an experienced reader who has hit an unexpected snag or are you just learning? Do you read face to face, and for whom? What deck(s) do you use? Can you pinpoint when this string of inaccurate readings began? Can you give one or two examples of the kind of readings you mean? I might have some thoughts after I read your answers, or I might have more questions! It may also be helpful to ask your cards why this is happening!
Raggydoll Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Inaccurate readings for others or for yourself? (It’s a big difference there for me).
gregory Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 It also depends very much on what you mean by inaccurate.

I take a looong break and think of doing something different with my life? 😄 Seriously, I'd ask some questions first: are you reading for yourself? how do you know they are innacurate? are you reading too often? are you asking the same questions? are you under lots of stress? Tarot cards don't lie, our interpretations are the ones that could be skewed. And whenever that happens it is important to do some reflection. @Grandma's questions would be a great starting point.
spider Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Hi Chongjasmine Am really looking forward to you clarifying what you meant by your question. It can be upsetting when we have given the best reading we can only to be told it is inaccurate. Let us know what you mean, cos then I might learn something by the answers you have received.
Cookie Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 The cards often get behind our flimsy façade, and cut straight to the very marrow of our bones. Look into the card that most disgusts you, that reviles your fragile morals, that is shrieks blasphemy to your very soul …. look at it long enough and we will see ourselves looking back.
spider Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Hi Cookie I agree that the cards we feel most uncomfortable with are often the ones we need to work with the most. But I am not quite sure what this has to do with inaccurate readings??

I think he meant to imply that a person might incorrectly deem their reading inaccurate because they are unable to see or face the truth about themselves or their situation. Or did I get that right @Cookie ?
spider Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Ahh - that makes sense. So the reading is accurate - just not palitable
Cookie Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 @spider yes, apologies I should have explained myself better. In my first year of practice I did many a reading that I deemed to be inaccurate, but I then realised that I was dismissing the obvious & having extreme prejudice against truth. I guess it's how we learn about the cards & about ourselves.
spider Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Do you think this applies to readings we do for others, or just those we do for ourselves?

And the cards often brush away the murky veil and flow gently to the core of our spirit. Look into the card that most delights you, that cherishes your strongest. values, that whispers prayers to your very soul.... look at it long enough and we will see ourselves looking back.
Grandma Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 The glass half full is simultaneously the glass half empty. We must read the cards without pre-conceptions when we are ready for their truth.

For people who read their own cards, this is a hard lesson to learn but one of the most important lessons. Even when reading other people it's tempting to insert how you'd like the reading to work out but you just can't! This is why reading for friends and family members is almost as hard as reading for yourself! This is one of the reasons I love reading online. I only have an electronic connection--the keyboard. I don't need to see them or know them. I just need a message from them so we can connect - even if it's just a general reading. 😊
Eric13 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 A lot of good advice her. But I feel the best was the questions about where you are @chongjasmine in your experience with reading?
Cookie Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 14 hours ago, spider said: Do you think this applies to readings we do for others, or just those we do for ourselves? Good question spider.. I've pondered this a lot. What @Saturn Celeste said for sure, but also I believe projection to be a huge factor & influence on readings we do for others. I think that projection affects the more self-involved among us; I won't do readings for others because I'm basically reading for myself … I can't put my energy into neutral but I think it's lack of experience more than anything. Although I do believe that total indifference & objectivity is impossible as we are part of the creative process of the reading, so there will always be some of the reader's projection within the spread however experienced the reader is However, there is one caveat here: I do think that we attract people who are going thru the same emotional experiences, problems, process, development as ourselves (call it fate, synchronicity, magic whatever); so there is a huge emotional & spiritual rapport between reader & sitter....even if we don't know them. It reminds me of the leminsgate of the 2/pentacles, or the 'two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl' lyric. 😏 A good example of projection is when one lover does a reading for the other. We will often see the past, present, future laid out on the table in front of us, and often especially among younger people (and esp among teenagers … there's something about the raw energy of teenagers) the future is often quite brutal. Of course we deny this to each other, but subconsciously we know what it is about … the die has already been cast. The tarot reading tends to speed up the process and makes it a lot more intense … once the wheels are in motion they're very hard to stop. I know it's possible to turn it around but very few people do as they are so involved and esp among the young & less experienced I believe this is why most experienced tarot readers will shy away from reading for their lover as they've realised that synchronicity is a very powerful & complex phenomena. And if they do then they are secure in themselves & within the relationship.
Grandma Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Hi @chongjasmine! I understand that this is not the Readings section so you have no obligation to give feedback to anyone. I am, however, curious as to what you think of everyone's suggestions. I bet a lot of us would love to know if anything we said has helped. If you have a few minutes, please consider letting us know. Love, Grandma
chongjasmine Posted August 21, 2019 Author Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks for all your suggestions. It helps.
chongjasmine Posted August 23, 2019 Author Posted August 23, 2019 A client that I read for free just mentioned that I am accurate. Thank you for your advises. I couldn't do it without your help!
