I spent one day on the telephone as a paid tarot reader. I found my "readings" to be much as MBSLynne and Bee have related. A good listener and observer can glean much that the cards may reflect for each person. The cards are only a focal point. I only did it for a day 1) because it was against my better nature to accept money for it and, 2) because the per minute charges were outrageous and most of the folks I spoke to were in dire financial straits, grasping at straws.

I would never pay anyone for a reading unless it was just for fun and then not very costly. I would, and do, do my own for myself. My sisters (not Mudcatter "bet") have paid so-called psychics for years to tell them how to fix their situations which really just needed a good dose of common sense. IMO, it all boils down to not trusting one's own intuition, not looking within for answers, when that's really the soundest thing we can do.
