What do you think it's good or bad? Accurate inaccurate, does pick up on your emotions more affecting the reading? I heard some say don't read for yourself others who do it...

As I have a strong willed personality I would pick the cards I want to see. I throw the runes in those cases .

You can perfectly read for yourself if you are in the right state of mind: what I call the Focused-and-Detached mode. But if you are in a strongly emotional state of mind, good or bad, especially bad, chances are you won't be in the right state of mind. There's also a common mistake to interpret the cards in a way that makes us feel better, despite the obvious.

There are also periods in life or personalities all together who can't read, because they tend to get cards reflecting their own opinions on the matter or wishful-thinking, more than others, unconsciously.

Thank you leeloo! Yes I've drawn cards during emotionally charged time where I was reay sad upset the cards were all bad; but when others draw for me on same question they don't draw such bad dismal cards they actually pull complete opposite opposite ourckme than I do.

You can read for yourself, but sometimes another reader can be useful. Some of the best readers here at LL often ask for exchanges.

Sometimes you can be too close to see objectively.

I agree with LeeLoo. Sometimes we are too emotional and the reading was that good... Then you read again, again... and you just ok when you want the cards to appear as the right ones...

A few times I got good results with them, but as I said, you need to read and then stop, reflect, and accept the message they want you to know!
