It is important that the client tells me only what they're comfortable with telling me. The date of birth can be helpful, but not essential for all readings. I start by asking whether there is a particular question or topic I should be focusing on. I pull some cards to get initial vibes and a sense of what the most important issue is, and add more as I chat with the client. If they wish for me to bring in astrology, I add that as well. I am very honest, but always try to be non-judgemental and compassionate. It is important to communicate what the spirit world indicates is most important for the client to know.
