I have a complicated relationship with 
Tarot. While I’ve been reading Tarot off and on since I was 15, I only embraced it as my main form of divination 
last year. Most of the time, I can’t read my own circumstances 
or future, but reading other’s cards is like seeing the bottom of a clear lake.
Friends both on here and outside of Infinite Roots 
have learned to trust my readings. I don’t ask questions while doing a reading because I don’t want outsiders to think I am asking querents leading questions. 
Depressions, job and relationship changes, financial difficulties, and blessings all may be able to read what they have to say with accuracy and ease, but I can’t read tea leaves, flames, or crystals at all. 
Many of the spreads I use I make up on the fly based on the energy 
I feel from the cards and from the querent. Two of my favorites, though, are a modified 
tree and a 
sunburst.
Short Story
This past week I read for a friend. She didn’t want to accept what they were saying so she asked me to do a different spread. It gave the same answer. She asked for a third spread and it gave the same answer, too. This week she asked for a fourth spread. Well, 
you know the drill by now. (I am on the phone with her now and she actually went to another tarot reader to get a fifth reading. 
She said that reader read in their own spread the same information. She said I could share this amusing anecdote.)
Personal Reading
For kicks, I tried to read my own cards. 
I used the sunburst with a message from The Divine through an oracle card. All I can see is my past, present, and cloudy future is ruled by confusion and self-doubt. On the top left I see possible choices to make concerning this self-doubt and on the top right I see the outcomes of those choices.
The Divine message says,
You will not achieve the outcome you desire if you are unwilling to act upon your intentions. It is not simple as wanting something to happen or believing it will happen. You have o make it happen and to make it happen requires that you be willing to do whatever is necessary no matter the sacrifice. For everything you desire, you must give yourself in return.
What should I sacrifice? I don’t know. First I have to know what it is that I want most. I think I know that answer but what do I need to sacrifice to get this treasure? See? I can’t understand my own readings. Thoughts?
