Hi Gem,

I agree each deck is different. So are the interpritations of each reader.

When you look at P. Scott Hollander and Robert M. Place, who restricted his interpritation virtualy to RW, even them differ dramatically!

When I started tarot, we were clearly advised to derive your own interpritations. If looking at the CCross, the Tarot knows how you read, so does it in any other spread.

I clearly define Negative and positive black and white. No person's life consists of good only, if a reader then only give the good, they may lead their seeker by the nose and from the pan into the fire!!! If you ball your fists and have money in the one only,  there is nothing in the other. It's then impossible to maybe have the other hand with money?

This is my own view, I might be wrong.

Blessed be

Then why not use Arthur Edward Waites own interpretations from his own book?

But I digress, for me it is not whose interpretations but your own, bond those to the card and you will feel happier, but each card may have a dozen parts and I was just wondering why, and I dont' want to hurt you here, a talented reader such as yourself use pre-written meanings at all? What is the point? If it is time then do shorter readings but fresh ones, new for each person, or how can your intuition and universal knowledge help you?

Hi Gem,

Oh no Gem, I dont dogmatically follow the interpritations. Each card has a few meanings as you know, and thus are adapted to follow the thread. I also wrote small captions of Meanings for positive as well as negative. IN a lot of occasions these captions are all that's needed. Look at the reading I did for Sonia---, only a few are exactly the "caption" but altered to match her circumstance.

I did a reading on myself last night, with our business having differing interest from properties, growing and monthly rental of indoor Office plants to two restaurants and possibly another one, this time of the year is actually "tough" We have so much money owing to us that it actually almost caused a major cash-flow problem, even excesses on our OD, in the meantime we have 30 people's salaries, stock, running expenses.

Anyhow, I was really like a porcupine in a rat hole. All my energy was then funelled into this reading.

I use 11 cards in my CC the eleventh to support or oppose the 10th, and three cards of advise down from 9,8,7.

I will copy and pste it on tarot reading forum!!

Blessed be
