The Art of Asking Questions
The Tarot is like the Book of Life. Each Tarot card depicts a scene of the human experience.
Often times the "querrent" (=You) asks a Yes/No question: Is my boyfriend going to call?
The Tarot in its divine wisdom does not answer Yes/No questions.
Other times the querrent asks a pressing question: WHEN is my boyfriend going to call?
As a professional Tarot Reader and Psychic Advisor I feel in a dilemma when a client asks me this question.
The Tarot has the capability of telling time frames. Hearts or Cups are days, Swords are weeks, Wands indicate months and Coins, Pentacles, or Diamonds indicate years. Another way to indicate time frames is through the Astrological attributions of each card. But of the 78 Tarot cards, less than half show potential time frames. For the Tarot time frames are a secondary issue, the wisdom of the Tarot is deeper than that.
I had a client asked me this question and she was very happy when the "prediction" became true. Iris said 8 and he called at 8:07! And the next day she was calling back again, expecting that in one minute I will give her the forecast of the time of her boyfriend's call.
Some times the Tarot refuses to answer to a just-time-question and instead offers the Major Arcana cards which are rich with information of what is going on with the Querrent's journey through life, or the Court cards that tell personal attitudes and actions about life. So when I get those cards I simply cannot provide with the "straight" answer of WHEN because I have much more important issues to address, such as what this person is feeling or why this person is not in the mood to reach out.
Some times when I offer that answer instead, my clients get frustrated and just hang up and leave bad feedback such as:
I gave her 3 minutes and she didn't answer my question.
Wait! The Tarot is trying to tell you something!
So let's rephrase the question of when the boyfriend is going to call with something more creative, such as:
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HIS LIFE THAT HE IS NOT CALLING?
And then my client mentions that her guy just lost his job (a common occurrence in this economy). Voila! The guy needs his space!
As a Psychic Counselor I would like to brainstorm with my client a list of open ended questions that starts with...
How...
What...
Why...
In what ways...
But this type of questions take more than 1 minute or 3.
I understand that if a client is paying 10, 15 or 20 dollars a minute that they would expect a super quick answer. There are some "super gifted" clairvoyants that would quickly see the answer and deliver it in seconds. The more power to them!
I am a different kind of Psychic. I am a Psychic Counselor. I price my services affordably so I can take the time to explore how my client is feeling about life, love and relationships. Some times it turns up that you are just tired of waiting by the phone and are more than ready for a change and to move on and find somebody else.
And that is when the reading gets interesting...
Peace, Love & Light
