IF I DO A READING FOR MYSELF IS THAT BIASED?

Hi Hailey, have you read the other threads where we discuss this very thing

It all depends on you and how good you are at keeping objective and reading the cards correctly rather than reading the answers you want?

Hi Hailey,

Since I posted a similar question I wanted to give you my take. Keep in mind I am a beginner. Smile.

My thoughts on this are that any reading that we do is by definition biased to some degree. We all tend to see things through the filters of our own experience, beliefs and perspective. Biases can be subtle as well as blatant and express themselves in this context as a tendency to interpret the cards in a particular way.

I think one of the benefits of reading for oneself is the opportunity to open our minds and allow for some ambiguity (more than one possible meaning). When reading for a querent I feel a need to present a relatively clear picture of what the cards are saying. Unless of course the cards present a fuzzy picture.  

When I read for myself I can let the spread sit out and the meaning slowly form. I can "try it on for size" and think about it from many angles. I try not to become overly analytical or get too far into my head. I find that if I can keep the spread simple and try not to force a meaning or answer I learn the most about myself, my questions, my situations, and yes, even my biases.

Whenever I'd read cards for myself, I usually could not understand them. There are times when I can totally relate to a card but there are times when I can't understand it at all. :( As they say, my powers might only work for the good of others, but I still try to draw a card whenever I need guidance..

i get really confused whether its cards or its something i feel abt a situation
