In other words, how important is the role played by the reader when pulling cards or will the universe provide answers regardless. Many readers observe rituals to help focus - so do these yield better results? The reader's role, i.e, their experience and intuition, is very important for interpretations of course.I ask because I often wonder if I pulled with the right degree of concentration and whether I should try again.

i go just with whatever feels natural and i've picked up cards and i don't even know what it is but i put it aside because i know that is definitely not it.i also find i overthink when i choose and its usually then when i'm least accurate. so sometimes i even play music in the back group so i go off more instinct and gut rather than try to analyse the instinct and gut feelings ------------------

I think the cards always say something true, but the ability to read them correctly is impaired in intense emotional states.Also, some people with strong opinions (when we have a strong opinion about something)tend to pull cards reflecting their opinions rather than the actual matter. Or interpret them accordingly. ------------------

Ok, that is two opposing viewpoints. Would love to hear what others think. I suspect newbies would worry more about or try harder to pull 'authentic' cards. I have another theory. Some people are being supported in their role as readers by the universe, you could say by the cards themselves. Perhaps these people have a role to play in helping others or have intuitive qualities. What do you think? A thought! I wonder if we could use a tarot spread to show our particular talents as readers, if at all. A bit circular this but I am gonna try: Temperance, page of cups, king of cups
Well, nice cards ...what could they mean ...
Temperance is about connection, perhaps helping people to connect to a higher source... IP: Logged |

I always try to pull cards with a clear unbiased opinion about the situation (whether it's regarding myself or a reading for others.). I do the best I can to completely clear my mind, not necessarily concentrate, just clear it. That's when I tend to have the most accurate answers. I have also noticed that if I have a question lingering in the back of mind (whether consciously or unconsciously) the cards will answer THAT question instead of the one I am asking about at the moment which is why I have found my mind needs to be completely clear before asking my cards questions.

I've often felt this too. In fact, I may have given readings that actually referred to me. The reader's clarity and focus does have an impact! On the other hand, I have at times experienced getting very accurate cards when I was not focusing. These were in response to personal concerns. I pulled cards absent mindedly and was amazed to see the answer provided. I have heard that if they need to your guides will get a message through in whichever way possible.
