It happens. Sometimes, when you're reading tarot for somebody, the message doesn't resonate. And other times, the message may very well resonate, but it's not what the querent wanted to hear...so they act like it doesn't resonate. Or they argue with you. Or they insert their own interpretation.

What should you do in these scenarios? Although they look similar on the surface, they're really three distinct situations.

🃏 You might have missed the mark. It happens. Sometimes tarot readers get it wrong. Acknowledge that you're not perfect and move on.

🃏 Recognize that your reading isn't saying what your querent's ego wants to hear. It's awkward, but it happens. Remember, they came to you for a tarot reading. Your duty is to provide the service they came for, which is an objective reading, not an ego massage.

🃏 Their intuition might be picking up on something you missed. Trust them! You're here to be helpful, not domineering. Maybe your reading can provide some structure or clarity for what the querent's already intuiting on their own.

In any situation, it's helpful to return to the cards and cite why you're saying what you're saying. After all, that's what they came for -- a tarot reading. That's what this episode is all about.
