Love the perspective of the cards not telling you what to think, but giving you space to think. I did a reading for a lady yesterday who had carefully planned her appointment with me, so that she could not be overheard by her partner, who at that time was at work. Each session is private and personal. Lovely article 🙏🏻

I imagine those "puffed up" characters are worried that they're entering a situation they can't control or manipulate to come out on top of (and that the elephant in the room will be uncovered), classic manipulation techniques.

People also have a lot of (Hollywood) misconceptions about tarot, that it's tapping into something "bad"... certainly in today's environment there's no time allowed for introspection, that stepping off-grid for a moment is seen as wrong.

Comment attached instead to restack. I have never read for couples. An utter minefield. Nor done group bookings, much as I respect those who will do it. A friend, very well known in Blackpool, experienced reader, does party bookings. For some it's a bit of fun- or is it- for others, deeply serious. But he is working under pressure of time...no-one can be seen to get longer than the previous person or the next person. And they didn't commit, didn't seek it out in the way that this young lady did in your story.

People understand that party readings are time-dependent. Its a skill well-worth learning to do quickie readings - 5 or 10 minutes max, as you learn to focus and articulate with brevity. Its a bit like speed chess.
