Do you find readings you give yourself to me inaccurate?  When I was reading regularly, my readings were off when doing my own.  When I read for others they tended to be more accurate.  I wasn't sure if this held true for everyone or just some people.

I am definitely not a pro on this.  Have dabbled in tarot a bit but look at the symbols more than divination.  From my understanding though I think it is much the same as dream interpretations where when self-reading there is a tendency to bias the reading.  Often this is because rather than taking the symbols and reading them, we have a specific reading in mind and try to make the symbols fit our pre-concieved reading.  There is a necessary skill involved to clear the mind before undertaking the reading, pretend like you have no idea of the subject at hand.  Easier said than done in my mind.

This could potentially be a cause of the problem.

yeah, i know what you mean.  i eventually stopped doing readings on myself all together.  now i just let other people do it.  i need someone outside of the situation in order to avoid being biased.

It is a skill you will probably develop more with your dream interpretation as well, because Jung has stated, and I have experienced, when you don't get the dream right, or you don't take on the advice and it is urgent, it will come back again, similar theme but different symbols.

Perhaps you should unearth the cards or get new ones and start up again.  It will be a valuable skill to have, particularly if you are going to take self-analysis / dream interpretation with you into the future.  You can also help others with your readings.

I've thought about doing that.  I will have to relearn the cards.  I may be working fulltime again real soon, so I'm not sure how much time I will have to focus on it.
