You have to feel confident in your ability to read charts. But more important than that is your responsibility to your ability, no matter what level you are at or how long you have been doing it.

If you can point out the "bad" stuff can you also read what the chart says about how to handle it? Offer suggestions on waiting out transits, avoiding others who activate trigger points, finding strengths to balance out weaknesses, focus on areas that release tensions.

Sometimes you can reveal everything "bad" by removing your judgement of "bad" because your responsibility is to reveal information and to provide help and not to form judgements. Sometimes your intuition tells you not to reveal what you see because you are not ready to reveal it responsibly or the native is not ready to receive it responsibly.

Having said that, one practical thing you can do is to first ask yourself "will this person be helped by what I tell them or hurt by it?" And most times if you pick "helped by it" then you know to go ahead and reveal it in a responsible and compassionate way, otherwise it's best to wait until a more opportune time...or never as sometimes the case may be.

I think this was a very good question because I used to wonder the same thing. I don't wonder anymore, I just trust.

In my opinion the answer lies in tapping into your intuition which means putting yourself aside and trusting that whatever is revealed is done through you for the highest good of the native receiving the reading.

An excellent, mature response! I especially like (and learned from) what you said about removing our judgement of "bad" and asking if the person would be helped or hurt by what we have to say. VERY helpful!
