When I read Tarot cards for my clients, many of them often ask me how frequently they should get their cards read. Especially because many of them want to know about how things are shaping up, or how things will happen once they have had their readings.
And I always tell them to wait a while before getting another reading done. In fact, I always advise people not to do their entire reading too frequently.
Many have asked me why I say that. My answer for their question depends on several factors.
In today’s blog post I will try to explain my ‘logic’ for all those answers. 🙂
Getting your Tarot card reading can often be a really informative scenario for many of you. Not only does it reveal what is going to happen, but it also tells you how things will unfold.
Give It Time To Happen…
[singlepic id=50 w=280 h=200 float=left]Naturally, all these things will take place over a period of time.
It is my belief that one should let that time go by – let events take place the way that they will.
If you keep looking into the cards or any other medium while things are taking place, you might even disturb or disrupt the way things shape up. To paraphrase a thought process from Quantum Physics, sometimes the observer can affect the observation, changing it dramatically. [Strikethrough: 16 June 2016]
[16 June 2016] I believe when I wrote the paragraph above, I ended up creating quite a distraction – this point confused many people. Although I posted the explanation (below), there still is no end to the amount of confusion it caused. So, I made a video where I’ve explained my thoughts. Scroll down below and watch it before you post your comment / email me with your questions about this topic. Please.
[Edit Added 4 Jun 2015:
Sometimes when one is too eager for a certain outcome, it is possible that in one’s eagerness one can do things to affect the outcome negatively. Hence, for many cases, I suggest waiting and watching.
I have seen examples where in the case of a relationship, too much eagerness from one side has totally changed the outcome of the reading. In such cases, despite a favorable reading, the prediction went awry.
However, there are some cases where taking positive action may seem like a good thing to do. For instance, in the case of a job search, it would be great if one kept on applying to various jobs. The right job will probably appear as a result of this search.
Therefore, depending on the sort of outcome one is expecting, and the sort of outcome that has been predicted, one must use logic and rational thought to decide whether it would be beneficial to wait and watch, or to take positive action.]
No, Really… How Many Details Do You Want?
[singlepic id=48 w=280 h=200 float=right]It is a truth universally acknowledged 😉 that no matter which kind of divination system one is using, it is highly impossible to get a minute-by-minute analysis of what will happen and how it will happen. Therefore, it doesn’t make any sense to keep looking into the cards for a blow-by-blow look at the future.
Besides, a minute-by-minute analysis really serves no purpose at all – unless you really like watching Matrix re-runs in slow motion! Then I can’t help you much… 🙂
What About Free Will?
[singlepic id=49 w=280 h=200 float=left]I have strong faith in the concept of free will. I truly believe that it is possible to change one’s future. Therefore, if one looks into the cards all the time, it can even cause confusion.
If you are trying to change a particular outcome and want to keep checking on your progress, then I suggest that you do it over a longer period of time, rather than a shorter period of time. Doing a reading everyday won’t really help much, and will only serve to confuse you more.
[Edit Added 4 Jun 2015: See the extra content I’ve added before.] [16 June 2016: Also see the video below.]
Are Ya Lost?
[singlepic id=52 w=280 h=200 float=right]As it is, the cards are only signposts along the way – they guide us, and show us the directions, inform us if we are going in the right direction, and even point us in the right direction if we are not.
Would you like it if your car GPS gave you detailed instructions for every mile that you are driving? Or do you like it better when the nice lady inside the GPS tells you to take that turn a few minutes before you are supposed to? Think about it.
So What Should You Do?
There is a very specific way to address this issue. And this will change reader to reader.
Most Tarot card readers almost always start out with a general reading where they will assess the here-and-now situation of their client.
Typically, this reading also reveals a bit from the past and a bit about the future – because the past events have led to the present situation, and the current scenario (if left unchanged) will create a higher probability of a particular future scenario.
Consider this: how much of a period does this cover? Does your future outlook look generally at a couple of months, or a year or so?
For example, when I do my general reading, the future outlook usually looks at an overall period of 2 to 3 months. So when a client asks me when he / she should come back for another reading I generally suggest a 2 – 3 month time period in between two readings.
Another situation is when I do a reading that covers a longer time period. For example, when a client of mine wants to look into his career growth and progress over a year, then I suggest that he can come back and check up on the progress after say 10 to 12 months – thus giving enough time for things to transpire, as it were.
So How Frequently Should I Get A Tarot Card Reading?
[singlepic id=51 w=150 h=150 float=right]Here’s a quick rule of thumb: ask your Tarot card reader. Especially when you are getting a reading done, see the time period that your reader is looking at. And this should give you ample guidance to decide when you can go in for the next reading.
However, if in the interim some other issue crops up which you had not looked at before, then do feel free to consult your Tarot card reader right away.
The Video
[added 16 June 2016] This blog post gets all sorts of attention, and so I ended up making a video where I answer some of the most commonly asked question. Have a look.
Your Turn…
I do hope that this article has helped clear your doubts and answered your questions. I might have missed out on something, or you might have something else to add to these thoughts.
Whether you have any questions, thoughts or suggestions, it would be great if you could leave me a comment below and I shall most certainly try to answer it.
Edit: This blog post gets a lot of attention.. And its awesome.. But so many of your questions are similar to the ones I’ve answered before. So, just so I don’t clutter up the comments section, I often end up not making them live. Don’t take that in a bad way. Please, just go through the comments that I’ve already answered over here — in all probability, I’ve already answered a question similar to yours over there.
[16 June 2016]: Or just watch the video above. Please.
I don’t get good people in my life…..Is there any solution for this so that I can get a good people in my life?I always get bad people….so I want to know whether there is any solution for this?
Hi,
Honestly, if you are looking for a ‘magic pill’ cure, then I don’t know if such a thing exists.
What you can do is be more aware, and don’t trust people so easily. Each of us have met good and bad people, and will continue to do so.
Some of us meet bad people more than good ones. I see that as a test — a way that the Universe is creating for us to learn how to be more discerning and careful with choosing the people we have around us.
The Tarot Cards, at their best, can provide you with a guidance on what you need to be careful about, watchful about, and even what your overall attitude about this situation could be. The cards can also provide you with information / guidance about a specific person as well, should you choose to look that way.
But ultimately, it all rests in your hands. Once the guidance is given, it is up to you to use it, and to use it in the right way. That part, is fully in your control.
Hope this helps.

I din’t get your statement:then I suppose they can”….can you elaborate it?
I meant to say that if someone had the required information about you and the intention to make your chart / do a reading about you then they can do so.
But making your chart or doing your reading won’t give them power over your destiny though.
Hope this helps.
I have one doubt.I want to know that can anyone take our destiny if they know our date and time of birth?Please reply to my query as soon as possible.
Technically, with your date of birth, place of birth, and time of birth one can make your astrology chart. For Tarot type of readings, you may not even require that info. If someone has the information and the intention to make your chart or do your reading, then I suppose, they can. However, they can’t and won’t be able to ‘take’ your destiny as you’ve asked. Your destiny is yours alone and no one can take it from you.

This page contains a revolutionary new view of the tarot, based on the works of Franz Bardon. It deals with the link between tarot, the Bible and magic.
An interesting perspective for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Madhavi,
It’s Ian. I just wanted to say hi, and send a lot of positive energy your way. Great video. And no, I am not that person who has been asking you the same question in different ways under different names. LOL. That was hilarious that you mentioned that on the video. Because some folks who are very addicted to readings will do things like that. Anyways, I have faith you are doing well. Thank you for being so patient with us. And great energy on the video.
Be well.
Lol Ian! I know you aren’t that fellow! ?? Thanks so much for your kind words… I’m glad you liked the video… You have a great day too!
Thank you for you reply ?
Hi, hope all is well with you. I’ve had a couple readings done lately after a difficult break up. My go to tarot reader along with 2 others told me my ex and I will get back together. My question is can tarot give you a specific timeline when this will manifest, because the time frame I was given has past. Also cal tarot tell you someone’s true intentions and if they have someone else in their life? thank you for your response.
Hi Val..
Different Tarot Card Readers have different ways of establishing time frames. For instance, I like to integrate it within my question itself. [See my article about: Framing questions for Tarot Card Readings.] Now, in your case, if the time frame has passed already, and the situation hasn’t come about, then may want to can ask a question that integrates a time frame within the question and see how that goes. For example, you may ask a question like: “Will my ex and I get back together within the next 6 months?” – or something to that effect.
Now to answer your next question: technically, yes, we can look into the life of another person and see what’s going on. However, doing so without their consent is unethical. That is why many Tarot Card Readers won’t do readings like that.
You may try asking the question that I’ve mentioned above to get clarity about your situation. Or you may ask a question like: “Will my ex and I get back together?” which is an absolute question. Depending on the answer you get, you may even ask the cards to guide you about how you can get moving on forward with your life and manifest your perfect partner into your life (and he may not be the ex).
Hope this helps…

Thanks for your response! I think I just want to know to much which isn’t a good thing.
Also i have people who are really sceptical talking about cold readers, what does that mean? I didn’t really give anything away in my reading but felt if I didn’t ask questions I wouldn’t get the answers
I’m glad to hear that my reply helped. ☺️
It’s a good thing to ask questions straight up, especially if you have a great connection with your Tarot reader – makes it easy to look for the specific answers from the cards.
By cold readings do you mean readings with someone who doesn’t know you from before? If so, in my opinion, those are the best ones to get – especially when you don’t have a ‘regular’ reader. This way, when you discover a good reader, you can form a good reader-client relationship.
Wanting to know a lot is a very common thing, believe me. When I was finally able to do readings for myself, I got super curious as well. But after a while I began to realize that knowing most of the things before they happened kind of made things a bit boring – sort of like knowing the ending of a mystery movie even before it begins! ? It started to take the fun and anticipation out of the days. So then, I started doing my own readings only once in a while, when I really needed some deep guidance.
My sincere advice for most situations is: Don’t worry. Be happy. Things eventually sort out in alignment with your life purpose. Stay true to your heart. And ultimately, it all works out in the end – and if it hasn’t worked out, then it isn’t the end, yet. ?
I am quite confused.I have some confusion.So,I am sharing my confusion to you.
I had tarot card reading five years back.It was regarding my career.When I had tarot card reading for the first time,I asked from the reader that”Can I become a television actor?”I asked this question because I wanted to pursue my career in television industry that time but now I don’t want to pursue.The answer was ‘Try it’.And then after some time I asked that “Will I get a job?”.The answer was ‘Yes’.When I asked time,the reader told one and a half year.After another six months,when I went for the second reading,I asked her that “Will I get a job?”.The answer was same-‘Yes,I will get a job in one and a half year.And from the last four year,I am searching for a job and I have not got a job.
Since I have asked career question very quickly during the first reading or I have asked about my job twice in six months,Is this the reason that I am not getting a job?Please clear my confeusion.One thing more I want to ask that “Do Laughing Buddha bring bad luck if we buy it ?”I bought it from a Tarot card reader.Is this also the reason I am not getting a job because I have bought Laughing Buddha and it brings bad luck if we buy it.
Please clear my doubt.I would be very grateful if you can help me in this matter.Waiting for your response.
I made a video that explains this : Either scroll up and watch it, or click here to watch it.
Hello.
I had a 12 month tarot reading done two months ago and some of the predictions have already come to pass which has amazed me.
A lot of my predictions were due to unfold towards the end of the year, does the accuracy of predictions lessen as time goes by? Is it best not to get another one until the end of the year? I came away with questions about my reading and never went back and now I don’t know if I should address them or just put it to the back of my mind.
Also what do you see when doing a reading, do you get visions or hear things?
Hi Soph,
It all depends on the skill of the reader. In my experience, time frames in Tarot do tend to be flexible. However, since you say that your reading is unfolding as predicted, then I think you found a good reader! ?
If you have some more questions, I suppose it is all right to get another look now that a bunch of time has gone by. Also, if you have other questions which you didn’t ask before, it is perfectly ok to get a reading for those.
Every reader has different skills – some of them have abilities apart from the intuitive ones. I get a lot of “feelings” from my readings because I have empathic abilities, and the card images and spreads totally spark my creative juices. But it doesn’t happen all the time. Other readers may get visions, or hear things. And then again, there are readers who are just plain awesome without having these abilities, and rely only on their intuition.
Hope this helps…

Thanks, that’s the funny thing, I have enough goin on to keep me busy and I normally consider myself to be a rational person! I think I went from being elated and having hope after my first reading, then a couple of months later a little impatient, back to happy after she confirmed the outcome always still there…. Then doubting her because again a month passed and nothing concrete, then the ‘unfortunate event occurred’ and I have gone to about two or 3 other readers and ended up in total confusion and using my initial reader as some sort of crutch to constantly reassure me! It’s so bizarre! The harm of multiple readings I guess! I’ve been so desperate not to be completely devastated by the end of a relationship, that I’ve allowed an unhealthy obsession to creep in. I do feel my initial reader who has always maintained the same outcome has much more affinity with me, is it better to stick to her prediction and give it time or is it possible my other multiple readings from others, usually via email are more likely and I am just clutching at straws? Either way absolutely this has to end and I am trying to work out if tarot ever has the potential of being definitive or merely advisory… So I absolutely will not have the chance to reconcile, OR a relationship is possible but I have other options that may give me greater happiness.
What an earth have I got myself into xx
I can totally understand your predicament. And you aren’t alone in this. Sometimes, it is better to just take a clean break and walk away from all the nutso-mess-things. Distance gives perspective and all that.
The cards are all about guidance and perspective, but it is possible to totally overdo it – as you can very well see for yourself.
This is a classic tussle between ‘wanting to hear what you want to hear because you are so heavily invested in a particular outcome‘ versus ‘what is truly happening’.
Here’s one thing I had tried and it had worked for me when I gave up smoking: Find your trigger and replace your addiction-activity with something positive and good where it engages those body parts.
Let me explain. One of my smoking triggers was meals – I felt I needed a smoke because it made my stomach feel settled after a meal. So I replaced that with a nicotine gum (at first), then a regular chewing gum, and now lightly roasted fennel seeds (it is a classic Indian after-meal thing). Slowly, I weaned myself off of the trigger-addiction cycle. The smoking engaged my hands-mouth-lips and chewing on the gum and now the fennel seeds engages those body parts as well.
So you need to find out what your triggers are – what makes you want to reach out for your email / phone and email / call for a Tarot Card Reading? When that trigger happens, engage your hands and focus on something else. Try journaling – writing with an ink pen on a smooth sheet of paper is very intense, and writing down what you are feeling may help you get stuff out of your head and feel less anxious. Give it a shot. Good luck!
Hi. I feel I need a little ‘enlightenment’ I feel I have developed an unhealthy relationship with tarot, consulting various websites multiple times a day and paying various readers up to 3 times in a month! It stems from a relationship I entered last year, it wasn’t great but I felt a strange affinity for this guy. I had a reading and it was so accurate, telling me the timing was wrong and we needed a clean break as there were issues he had to deal with but we would come back together. So time passed and the prediction came true to a point. During the process of coming back together one of his conquests made a false accusation and it’s had devestating effects! So we haven’t managed to come back together properly as this allegation is looming. I consulted the same reader who is adamant and very accurately descripive of his personality-she is still sure justice will prevail and he will be a better person and despite difficulties we will be together following a long honest heart to heart. Problem is due to the time lapse I have consulted other random readers and they have touched on a relationship and see an issue and no reconciliation. So because of the conflict I have been back and forth, my original reader says yes, and goes into lots of detail, a couple of others have said no, and yes he will return for a relationship but I may not want it. So in all of the confusion I have developed this real unhealthy and costly tarot relationship and now I don’t know who to believe! My original reader has much more depth and seems to understand me, him and the relationship much more than the others but I am worried I am clutching at straws as two other readers have said ‘no reconciliation’ and ‘I will not want him’ regardless the obsession needs to stop! I just have lost hope and feel that I have placed far too much certainty on the cards to the point it affects the communication I have with him! A positive reading makes me message him nice supportive messages, a negative reading makes me cold shoulder him or try to erase him from my life totally
Ouch! You are a perfect example of what NOT to do!
I’m going to refrain from giving you relationship advice here, because that is not my place, or area of expertise.
But I will tell you to stop getting readings for a while.
From what I’ve read in your message, it looks like given enough time, things will sort themselves out with your relationship.
Know that taking multiple readings isn’t going fast-forward time. And it is going to take as long as it takes. Also know that some things are worth the wait and the time you take to get there. Perhaps that time is there to teach you something valuable along the way. Maybe it is called Patience.
I’m not trying to be snarky here because I genuinely mean this: You need to maybe find a hobby or something that engages you a lot in order to keep yourself from falling off the wagon. Keep busy. You need to live your life rather than spending time in the anticipation of life, because life will pass you by before you know it, and you will have achieved nothing with this unhealthy habit + obsession.
while matching charts for boys and girls for marriage purpose,they ask date and time of birth of boy or a girl….that’s why I am asking this question…….
I want to ask that how many matches are considered good acc…to kundli of boy and a girl??????
I have a general overview of what astrology is, but I’m not an astrologer… So I am not in a position to help you about this topic. Sorry.
I mean to say can anyone change our fortune or destiny if someone knows our date of birth,time of birth and place of birth…….
Really?
No.
Is it harmful to give our Date of Birth and Time of Birth to anyone?Is there any problem if someone knows our Date of Birth and Time of Birth?
You need the date of birth + time of birth + place of birth to make an astrological chart of a person. Your chart can reveal your strong and weak points to a really talented astrologer. Decide for yourself what you are comfortable sharing, and with whom.
suppose in my case….this is only issue which is there….then does this issue have a solution or not?
If you are looking for a magical solution, I can’t quite guarantee it…
Can I consult any astrologer regarding this problem?
That is totally your choice, my friend.
Even though I am working hard…..still I am not getting proper result….what is the solution?
Honestly, there may be a number of factors… I can’t quite say or judge because I don’t truly know your situation… But…
Sometimes, some things are just not in someone’s destiny. That is why, yesterday I said, try something else if this isn’t working. I’m not saying that this destiny thing is what your issue is, but that can be one factor. Other factors can also play their part.
As far as I know, pujas and rings and candles and other such things only serve to provide a lot of psychological and energy vibration support to any intention. The only practical solution is to find what the core issue is, and resolve that issue.
The Tarot is a tool that helps you look deep into such issues, but it also puts the responsibility for solving those issues in your hands. You are the one who can change your life. Readings and rings are merely tools – means to an end.
Hope this helps.
Another doubt I have is that I have purchased Laughing Buddha from a Tarot Card Reader….But later I came to know that one should not purchase Laughing Buddha because it brings bad luck.It should only be gifted by someone.And now in my life,luck is not working at all….Is it because of that Laughing Buddha I have purchased?What is the solution to this problem?
The solution is for you to stop believing in such superstitions.
If things aren’t working in your life, try something else. Work hard. Believe in yourself. Work even harder. Follow your heart’s call. Trust yourself.
All things don’t always work out in life, but if you lose faith in yourself, there is nothing left…
I have a confuesion….I went for a tarot reading six years back….Firstly,I asked that will I become a television actor and then after that I asked that will I get a good job?I am in a dilemma that I have asked two question in a day….So,is it like that because I have asked two question in a day about my career,I will not get a job?Does it bring bad luck,asking two same question in a day?
The answer to each of your questions is: No. ??
Thank you so much ! It put my mind to ease .
Hey , I have a situation . I wanted to ask you about . I felt really uneasy due to the energies from the eclipse. I decided to get a reading done because my boyfriend was being strange . I wanted to get it from someone that my friend goes to and has always been right . She wasn’t there but I went to another person to feel the stress lift . The reading was great . I wasn’t sure about accuracy and still wanted to meet the other person . I went back the next day after things started to feel worse with my boyfriend . The original lady that I wanted to see was there . I was so happy. I got my reading done . It was pretty much the same as the first girl one except the time line , turns out their daughter and mother . With the eclipse it through my boyfriends energies off . I did a white candle chant for the universe to take negative away and negative thoughts . Is that okay ? Literally it was like a candle and a wish . Also, do tarot card readings take in eclipses ? I went after the lunar eclipse .
Hi Har,
I honestly do not know much about the candle chant thing — but to be honest, I don’t think that it will negatively affect your readings’ outcomes. The way I see it, a candle chant is like sending an intention to the Universe, and it always works in alignment with your energies. So please don’t worry about that.
And while the eclipse can often affect the energies of the reader, as far as I know, it won’t affect your reading in any negative way.
I hope that this puts your mind at ease.

Is purple ocean the psychic app reliable ?
Sorry, I haven’t tried this app… ?
Thank you:)
I’ve had a lot of readings these past 3 months and most of them are saying the same thing and a couple of them are not I.e timelines are different. Can too many readings cause the outcome to be different or prolong the timeline ?
Thank you:)
I think I’ve addressed this elsewhere, but let me reiterate.
The confusion caused by the conflicting predictions can make you take action in ways which may change the outcome.
Hope this makes sense.
?

Thank you again. I was curious because I read that it’s never good to get a reading when they are in that condition because of the low energy levels and inaccurate information involved. Very interesting.
I’ve read that too. And personally, I avoid doing readings when I’m unwell. But, as I said, I’ve also witnessed the opposite. So, it all depends on the reader, and her tolerance and strength. ?
Hey Madhavi, it’s me again! LOL … I’ve got a good question for you: How do you feel about getting readings from an empath who is sick or ill? For example, getting a reading from someone who has a bad virus who is shuffling your cards!
Hey Ian!
To be honest, it depends on the reader / empath — if she is ok with doing the reading, then its good… Because her illness is going to affect her body and performance, she is in a better position to judge if she can do the reading properly or not.
I have seen people do readings (and truly awesome readings) in really strange states. LOL. Everyone has a different tolerance to illnesses, situations, and medications.
Thank you, Madhavi, very empowering words … and I do believe that this eventually had to happen to learn lessons … and to make way for better things in my life
Hey Madhavi, it’s Ian again.
I am a bit disturbed right now because I honestly feel there may have been some irresponsibility on part of a couple readers who know each other giving me readings in recent months by advising me to do things that may have changed the energy surrounding the path I was on … In other words, things were going well, and I was walking on a smooth path, then I followed their advice (both of whom were highly charged I might add) concerning personal, as well as legal matters … then, to make a long story short, I lost everything that I had worked so hard for and am now struggling to piece things together.
I know eventually I’ll get everything back because of my resilience and strong spirit, but I can’t help but think that these readers advised me to take such steps knowing how emotionally vulnerable I was at the time. I thought at the time they were being sympathetic.
I’m finding it very difficult right now to focus positively because of the chaos that ensued after taking such advice. I am struggling financially, emotionally, spiritually … every way you can possibly think of.
I have since thanked the readers for their guidance and kindness in recent months but have made the decision not have any more readings with them or even ask for their opinions. I am very hurt because I can only imagine how good things could have been right now … but maybe the Universe made this happen on purpose and is sending better things my way?
Should I be held solely responsible for my temporary decline … the advisors involved … or all of us?
Thank you, Madhavi. I truly value your opinion.
Hi Ian,
I am so very sorry to hear about your troubles. It can be difficult: especially when you trust someone, and that person’s advice turns things around in the wrong direction. Somewhere deep inside, you know that they didn’t mean you harm, that their advice came from a good place. And yet, you wonder who to blame: them or yourself. I can totally relate to that too. It happens. And yes, you are resilient and strong, and you will get out of this as well. Perhaps a break from the readings is a good idea after all — I always say trust the guidance of the cards, but also listen to the voice of your common sense.
To be honest, given the circumstances, it is hard to go back and change things that have already happened. Let go of all the hurt and the pain — believe me, holding on to that will not help you in any way. What you can do is get back up on your feet, and get back on track. “One day at a time. One step at a time.” Say that to yourself everyday when you wake up. And every time you encounter the blame rising up within you.
Because honestly, no one is to blame. Perhaps this is how it was supposed to happen. Perhaps this is part of the lesson you were supposed to learn — to fix this scenario. Who knows how the mysterious Universe manifests its lessons in our lives? But one thing is certain — if you believe that you can get past this, then you will.
So, just forgive, let go, and move past it. Bear this experience and its lessons in mind when you ask for guidance from any source. And you should be ok.
I know that these are just words, and living those words is harder than typing them out on the computer… But believe that you will, and you will be able to get past this as well.
Hope all these words help.
Madhavi
Hey Madhavi,
Yes, I’m up and it’s around 3am (this is a whole other spiritual topic about getting up around this time) … but my take on it is that I’m only thinking the energy is the same when the cards give me the readings I want. LOL. If it’s a bad reading, then I just say it’s for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken seriously. LOL …
I really don’t know. It’s a little eery sometimes how the online readings resonate with me because I heard that the live readings are more accurate because the energy is more — for the lack of a better term — “sincere.” Whereas, a computer reading has no soul. I just don’t really know what to think. Maybe, I should do an online yes or no reading now since it’s 3am and the spiritual energy is different during this time? Hehehe.
Ian
LOL Ian. You are funny!
I suppose it all depends on you feeling comfortable with what is going on… Then the process doesn’t matter.
Hi Madhavi,
It’s been a while. Hope you are well. This question just came up, and I wanted your opinion.
Is the energy the same with an online reading, compared with a live face-to-face reading?
I used to have this app on my iPhone that was a Yes or No Tarot reading, and I was in awe at how accurate the readings were. I read the reviews about the app, and people were raving about it, as well.
Ian
Hi Ian,
How have you been? I’m doing great — thanks for asking… 😀
Back when I was used to doing more face-to-face readings than distance readings, I would have told you that the face-to-face ones are better. But these days, I’ve gotten used to doing the online / distance readings. And honestly, I don’t find any difference in the energy connection. I guess, for me, it is just a matter of what I am used to. Another reader may tell you different — I suppose it also depends on the person and their preferences.
I have an app on my iPhone too — When it works, I smile and go about my life, and when it doesn’t, I just shrug and go on with my life. You could call the app’s results a combination of serendipity and synchronicity. It is fun, and has a certain probability of being accurate. What’s your take on it?
Madhavi
hi
ive attended a wellness expo .. had my read for 20 mins& quite satisfied of it
then ive tried to have a 2nd one.. while she was telling me smething matbe for 10mins
suddenly she said she cant read me
wat does it mean?
Perhaps the reader couldn’t connect with your energies… That was the only reason I could think of… Hope that helps…
Good Day Madhavi .
I am new to tarot reading and just got a free reading which was shockingly exactly what I am going trough – horrible financial crisis.
If you don’t mind I want you to see it because 4 cards were right on money but the last one basically cancelled everything previously said.
This how it went:
Strength
Card 2: What you want most right now »
Strength
The cards suggest that what you most want at this time is to find the strength and will power to see you through and achieve what you want.
It is important to come from a place of love and tolerance though, not aggression. Put your fears to rest and develop a positive attitude and you’ll reap richer rewards.
The Hierophant
Card 3: Your fears »
The Hierophant
Are you really your best counsel? Probably not at this moment in time.
You are worried that you will sell yourself short and agree to something that you don’t feel morally comfortable with. For example you may really desire marriage but the offer has been ‘let’s live together’. You may be looking at a job or business opportunity but you question how ethical it is.
Seek out an advisor you can trust such as a teacher, priest, parent or anyone you have respect for. They will be happy to help.
Wheel of Fortune
Card 4: What is going for you »
Wheel of Fortune
Call it fate or destiny but the run of good luck or good fortune you are experiencing or about to experience is mostly not of your doing – enjoy this time. If there seem to be a number of positive coincidences happening in your life this is known as synchronicity, go with the flow and trust it.
The Magician
Card 5: What is going against you »
The Magician
Someone, most likely male, isn’t quite what they seem. Trickery and deception cleverly disguised as charm and friendliness, so be sure that this person really does have your best interests at heart. If someone who you feel wary of is presenting you with a business opportunity, be cautious and trust your instincts.
The Devil
Card 6: The likely outcome »
The Devil
If your previous cards have been positive and your main consideration has been about a relationship then there’s a possibility of commitment, even a proposal of marriage. If this is not the case this a final opportunity for you to change course, because the temptation you are experiencing concerning a relationship, money or materialism or any other kind of addiction won’t lead to a happy ending. If you are feeling low in self-belief and self worth and doubt
——————————————————————————————————-
One phrase threw me of the balance.
Everything was supposed to be falling in places for me but BOOM!
It says:
because the temptation you are experiencing concerning a relationship, money or materialism or any other kind of addiction won’t lead to a happy ending.
Hi Tatiana,
Was this a reading that you got on a Free Reading Website where the whole thing was automated?
Those readings often have ‘stock’ meanings and then its left to us to decipher which ones apply to our situation and which ones don’t. So yes, it can be quite confusing.
In any case, I looked at your reading, and here’s what I thought.
As far as I can see, it is the interpretation of the Devil card which threw things off balance for you. But the Devil is actually a card of material fulfillment. Yes. This card also talks about material fulfillment that comes with a few strings attached, but it does provide material benefits.
From what you’ve said before, you are going through a financial crisis. Therefore, the promise of the Devil card is that you will get material benefits. You may find a way to walk out of the financial crisis that you are in – but that will come with a few strings attached. And by strings it could mean commitments (like the chains in the Devil card picture). Those chains could manifest in forms like a job that is quite demanding, or interest rates and monthly payments (if you take a loan), or something along those lines where you are bound by something or the other, and it will go on for some time till you resolve the issue completely.
What you read is the ‘stock’ meaning of the card, but in my experience, the Devil card is one of those ‘mixed bag’ cards which are a mix of positive and negative stuff.
Hopefully, this should help settle your mind. If you look at the reading as a whole, it looks to me that it says that the time is favorable for you to actively seek some sort of a solution for your financial crisis — perhaps from a bank-type of institution. And in all probability, the crisis was caused by the same institution. Be careful though and don’t let your ego get in the way. You will need all your inner strength and patience to win this one. It will be hard going, and you will feel chained into this problem and this solution. But in the end, things will work out for you — but only after a bit of a struggle.
So, hang in there. Keep yourself centered and focused. You’ve got a long road ahead of you, but you will win this battle.
Hope this was helpful.

“Maybe, once in a while you may want to make some cute, non-intrusive romantic gestures to keep showing her that you are still interested… IDK… At this rate, I’m going to switch careers from being a Tarot Reader and become a Relationship Coach or something… LOL”
I am already making this happen, Madhavi … and, yes, you should double as a relationship coach. Why not? You give good advice. LOL
?
Madhavi, thank you so much for your response. You have no idea just how much this article and the comments section has helped me put things in perspective. You’ve been great. Enjoy your day.
I’m glad I could help, Ian. You have a great day too… And good luck! ?
Madhavi, you’re quick! Thank you. My situation is rather complex, but I’ll try to make it as simple and straightforward as possible for you. Yes, I have taken action with this female coworker and the response was positive … BUT … we haven’t gone out yet because she is in a transitional period (trying to move on from a previous relationship). There are plenty of signs from my interactions with her in the office that the attraction is still very strong. “The ball is in her court”, as the old saying goes. My reader said that things will begin to move rapidly between this female coworker and I after I’ve left the organization and have moved on to a new job (which will be this month) …
… My reader said this relationship will come to fruition … but I’ll have to wait a little bit. Patience. Hence, my question to you about moving on to other things for the time being — keeping myself occupied — while “watching and waiting”, as you’ve stated in previous responses to others who have written in. I am taking action, hoping for the right outcome … but I also seem to be walking a delicate tightrope, so as not to disrupt the natural flow of things. This is not easy.
I hope I’ve cleared this up for you. I’m trying to keep my sanity for the time being because the Universe is on its own time schedule.
Any other thoughts, now that you have more details?
Hey Ian.. I was just awake when your earlier message came in is all… 😀
Hmmm.. Now that I know a bit about your specific situation, yes, I will tell you to continue to “wait and watch”.
As you said, the ball is in her court now, and while things will work out (as per the reading you had), you can focus on other things. And yes, the Universe is on its own time schedule. Meanwhile you can do other things … Things that you may not get time for once you start dating in real earnest?
Maybe, once in a while you may want to make some cute, non-intrusive romantic gestures to keep showing her that you are still interested… IDK… At this rate, I’m going to switch careers from being a Tarot Reader and become a Relationship Coach or something… LOL
And yes, while you wait, resist the urge to go for more readings… That is where you can go down a slippery slope…
Hope this helps…
Hi Madhavi, thank you for your response to my last entry … I’d like to get your feelings on another issue about the proper way to approach readings …
… With issues concerning love and relationships, we all want the positive readings (the ones where we do end up with the male or female in a romantic relationship) to come true. We want it to come true so bad that we think about it all the time, pray about it, meditate on it, talk about it and get more readings about it. We are so consumed by it, that we actually believe that by doing these things, we are keeping the energy going and helping in manifest this strong desire to be with the other person …
… (Question 1) But does this actually help to manifest our desire to be with that person? …
… In my case, I’m so tired of thinking about this other person, that I just want to completely let go of this infatuation and just get on with my life …
… (Question 2) If I stop thinking about this female and move on to other things, will it totally kill the energy, the momentum, therefore changing the outcome of the readings?
So, yes, it’s 2 questions. And thank you again for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
Hmmm… You’ve really got me thinking now Ian… 😀
Let’s hope I can solve these queries…
1.
If you believe in the Law of Attraction, then focusing our energies on what we want (be it a thing or a person) can help you manifest it in your life. However, there would be a few conditions attached. I guess, “Do no harm” is one of them, and “It should be aligned with your Destiny” is another.
But then where does this focusing cross the line and simply become an obsession? Or does it simply remain an infatuation that essentially goes nowhere?
If I were to paraphrase your words, if you get “so tired of thinking about this other person, that I just want to completely let go of this infatuation and just get on with my life …” — to me this is a huge signal. A signal from your inner self asking you to move on. Which brings us to …
2.
Well, if you move on, it may actually work well for you. Since you are already feeling tired and worn out from all this focusing on the infatuation. Maybe it may make you feel a bit lighter, and happier….
Now, I know I shouldn’t be prying.. But just on a practical note… Why have you not asked this girl out on a date already? If you liked her that much then you should’ve asked her out… Or if you did ask her out and she said no, then you should’ve moved on. Just thinking about her so much isn’t going to make her feel things for you.
As I keep telling most people who post questions here for me: There’s a huge difference between feeling stuff for another person, and actually acting upon it. If you like someone, ask them out. If they say no, respect it and move on.
What is the point in doing readings when you are not actually doing anything to move things along on your life path?
A reading can give you a fair idea of what’s going on. It can be a guiding light. But the reading is not your life. You are living your life, and in that life, you have to be the one taking the actions and hoping for the best outcome.
Doing a reading can help you see things a bit more clearly, but wanting a certain outcome and doing nothing to make it happen except for getting and depending on readings is clearly not working out for anyone, is it?
Madhavi,
You are totally awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article and even enjoyed the Comments section with all of your responses even more. Thank you for being so detailed and compassionate.
As for me, I’ve had too many readings with different readers this past summer about a female coworker I’ve been flirting with. But the majority of the readings have been similar and are positive about the strong possibility of me and my coworker getting involved in a long-term relationship eventually. But there is 2 readers who I have been sticking to because of the great connection I have with the both of them.
But did have that one reading that said nothing would happen romantically between my coworker and me. And it’s been eating me up ever since, regardless of the other readings that were in my favor. As you wrote to another person’s response recently, this situation I’m in is classic.
Madhavi, I haven’t done anything drastic to force change of the readings’ outcomes … the only thing is that I worry a lot because I want the outcome to be as predicted by the readers who said that I would end up with this female in my arms. So, now I’m walking around stressed out … So, will this negative mental approach change the outcome?
Thank you for being so cool. I really enjoyed your article.
Ian
Hi Ian,
Thanks for your message. And for calling me cool and totally awesome. You get full points.
Thanks also for being a little more rational than most! 😉
As I said in the comment before yours: “As long as you don’t actively do something to mess up your desired outcome, things won’t change with a reading that predicts that outcome.”
This applies to both the negative and the positive outcomes that were predicted.
Imho, you are letting your fears get the better of you.
To answer your question: your negative mental approach may affect how you approach the situation. For instance, if you remained cool while you asked her out, she may or may not agree depending on how much she liked you. But if you get nervous, or go overboard and then ask her out, she may think you are being too weird, or too creepy, and the chances of her saying no will increase.
To use very colloquial language, let me tell you something I tell all my friends in such situations: “Think man. Think. Be rational. Don’t let your fears get to you. Stay positive. Be ready for all outcomes. And approach everything confidently.”
As always I am really glad you enjoyed my article.
Madhavi
Hi! I just got an astral card reading today, she incorporates tarot cards. I left feeling 50/50, because some things about my personality were off, but some things that were happening to me right now were pretty accurate. I was thinking of getting just a tarot card reading in two weeks. Is that okay? Im kind of worried that i will maybe affect the outcome of things, but still wanted to get just the tarot reading to see if the same things she said would pop up on this one and to have the experience to just get the reading only using tarot cards. What do you think?
Hi!
Thanks for your message.
Please just go through the article I wrote once again… Including the recent edit…
As long as you don’t actively do something to mess up your desired outcome, things won’t change with a reading that predicts that outcome.
Get another reading if you must. But just be sure to keep your mind clear and free when you do. Your desires can also affect a reading – it’s called Projection.
Just don’t get caught up with the ‘just one more reading’ trap… That, my friend, is a slippery slope.
Hope this helps…

I have one doubt….While consulting with a tarot card reader,the reader told me to purchase Laughing Buddha for peace.So,I purchased it and later I went to know that we should not purchase Laughing Buddha because it brings bad luck.Is it really like that?If yes,then what should I do now…. Please help me in this regard
I’m sorry but I am not well versed in Feng Shui. You may want tho Google that. Or consult a Feng Shui practitioner.
I will tell you my time frame for which my tarot card prediction was done.When I had my first tarot card reading in september 2010,then the reader told that I will get a job in 1 and a half year.When I had my second reading in april 2011,then also the reader told me that I will get a job in 1 and a half year.On both the occassion,the prediction were same.It’s now 3 year over and I haven’t found a job till now.The problem I am facing is that I asked the same question in 6 month only when the reader told me that I will get a job in 1 and a half year.Is it like that since I had asked a question in 6 month only,then I will not get a job.Please clear my doubt.
No it isn’t like that…
Unless you didn’t do anything to upset the outcome, your asking the question twice hasn’t caused any issues with the way the reading worked out.
[You’ve inspired me to edit my article so as to include this point. Thanks!]
I have one confusion….I had one tarot card reading in september 2010.Then I had another tarot card reading in march 2011.My question was will I get a job and both the time the answer was yes…..and from the last three years I have been searching for a job and till now I haven’t got a job.Is it like that because I had asked this question twice….then I will not get a job?and if it is like that then what is the remedy for this.Please clear my confusion
Devanshu,
Please don’t be confused. Your asking the question twice hasn’t resulted in you not getting a job. In my article what I was trying to mention was that if a prediction has been made, then give it time to happen. If, for instance, a prediction was made that you will get a job in 3 months, then let 3 – 4 months go by, and allow things to happen. But within those 3 months if you keep on asking the question, that won’t speed up the process. That is what I was trying to say in the article.
As for your scenario, I really don’t know what time frame your prediction was made for. However, if it hasn’t worked out, then that doesn’t mean that you give up hope. Sometimes predictions may be wrong. We are all human beings and can make errors. Also sometimes it takes a while to find a job – a variety of non-prediction related factors can cause this scenario. You need to keep looking, and stay positive. Logically speaking, you might even take up a part-time job, or some other job till you find the kind of job you are looking for.
I am sorry – I don’t know of any ‘remedy’ that will magically produce a job for you. Don’t waste your time and money seeking out such magical remedies. Instead, try to find positive alternatives and go forward on your chosen path in life.
Madhavi
Thank you! It all made much sense. And thank you as well for understanding my jumble of thoughts and questions. Time for deep breaths!
Hi Madhavi –
This has been so very informative! I wonder if you can help me.
I recently had two tarot readings by a woman who is also an intuitive (she’s good with numbers and things come to her). Without me saying a word, she accurately knew what the past and present was/is in my life and then quite surprisingly described a future event that shocked me – in a good way. After the first (12 card?) reading, many things she said came to pass almost immediately, with the cards and also the numbers and things she intuited. I went back to see her just two weeks later. By now we were friendly and she knew exactly what I wanted to know, even thought I still didn’t say it out loud. She did a full reading, and the outcome was really just more of the same of the first reading, just more detailed. A lot of cards with gold/yellow backgrounds that she said represented passion (the reading was about a relationship) came up. I don’t really know Tarot cards well, but some were the exact same from my first short reading, and then more, of course. Now, she intuited other things as well this time, and here I am a month later and nothing has come to pass. Which may be fine, because the things she described are to take place over this summer to come. However, I think I am not living authentically, because I want what she read to come to pass so much that I’m afraid to upset the balance of things!! I am having a problem letting it settle and seeing what unfolds. Also, I think I am confusing what she intuited with what the reading was. Which one would be more accurate – the cards, or what she “sees”? She was 100% right about my first reading, as well as reading for my friends, and so were the numbers she saw, etc.. She is a straight shooter, yet I feel like because she knew my “story” the second time, her intuition was possibly influenced. Can her knowledge have affected the outcome of my second reading to what I desired, versus what will be? Right now it seems highly unlikely any of it will come to pass. I apologize if this is convoluted!
Hi Stacy,
Looks like you have a bunch of questions all rolled together. Let me see if I can guide you towards clarity for all those doubts…. 🙂
As you said, your reader’s first reading was pretty accurate, and now you are anxious about waiting to see if the second reading also unfolds the same way. Give it time. I think, based on your reader’s track record so far, it is quite likely that the second reading will also unfold like she said.
Now, as to what would be more “accurate” – the cards, or her visions. I would say that in the case of this particular reader it is a combination of both which makes it uniquely her reading.
And even if the second time round, she knew of your questions, I don’t think it hinders the reading. In fact, it adds more value because she is probably tuning into the right “station” this time without fiddling around much.
Trust the reading. But trust yourself more. Many of us lose our patience because of readings – we think that if we did a reading often it may speed things up, or if things didn’t quite happen in the order that they were predicted then the reader must be wrong, and so on. But you have to take the readings in the spirit of guidance rather than some sort of an eerie prediction. This way, you will breathe easy. What she predicted may yet come to pass, but you need to stop holding your breath in the interim and go live your life.
Make sense?
Hello. I’ve had 3 tarot readings and 3 psychic / spiritual medium readings in the last few weeks. The tarot readings were excellent, almost eerie. Getting a lot of the past and present right, and hopefully, if I stay on this path, the future as well. But the mediums were all over the place, a lot of it made no sense at all and rarely ever really pertained to anything past or present. The 3 tarots were done by 2 different people and the mediums were all different. Why could this be? I’ve thought about another tarot just to make sure I’m still on the right path, but my last one was a few days ago.
Hi Christopher,
Your experience with the Tarot readings is quite incredible. And yes, it is totally possible. Because, as you said, since the past and the present were spot-on, and if you stay on the path, the future will likely occur too.
I really cannot say why the psychic mediums weren’t spot-on with their predictions.
From what I do know about these things though, I can say one thing: psychic people pick up energy vibrations that are around us and they make their statements / predictions based on that. Sometimes, they can connect with your energies well, and sometimes they can’t. This sort of thing happens with very intuitive Tarot card readers as well.
Its just how it works, I suppose. 🙂
Don’t think too much about it. 🙂
Hope this helps.

Can the cards get names confused? for example if you and Bob are texting often, but have not met yet and you asked the cards ‘what are Bob’s intentions’, can the psychic reading the cards mistaken people’s names or get them mixed up? how likely is it?
I don’t think that the cards can confuse anything like that.. Rather, I would think it is the direction of our intention that might get confused.
Here’s what you can do do: while you are meditating right before the reading, tell the cards something like: “this is a reading about Bob with whom I’ve been texting since the last couple of months” or something to that effect.
Usually, for my professional readings, I request the client to send me their date of birth and their current location information. This helps me focus on their energies to do their reading.
As I said in the beginning, the cards don’t make the mistakes. The humans who handle them often do make mistakes.
Hi. I just have a question.
These past few months ive been to several psychics. Each reading are a month apart. They all said the same thing but the time-line is off. Ive been wanting for it to happen but ay the same time I am scared that it might not happen. Because of this I am scared to try other options as Ido not want to change the outcome. I want to ask whether the readings were really accurate ans why are the timelines off? Am I doing anything to delay it?what should I do?
Thank you.
Hi Julie,
Looks like you’ve been waiting for an outcome to come true for a while… Give it some more time. No prediction can be 100% accurate. Plus many factors like free will and even your own desire for the outcome can affect the reading’s outcome. Be patient. Be logical. See your situation objectively.
As they say: a watched pot doesn’t boil.
Take it easy and try to occupy your mind with something else while you wait.
Hope this helps.

hi,
I actually have a question. I had tarot readings, psychic readings done for the past 2 months and it was like every other day that I had it–well, almost, and now they seemed to contradict with each other and everything seems to be out of hand. the first reading was really good, but then for the following readings it had gotten worse and worse. I am concerned that i kinda did abrupt time and how things should take place so my main question is will i still get back on track if i stop doing readings? is there a possibility to have the outcome change?
Honestly Eliza, I don’t really know if you will get back on track with the issue if you stop doing readings, but you will most certainly stop being so confused.
Obviously, with all these contradictory readings, you don’t know exactly how to proceed.
Also, psychic readings do tend to pick up on your latent desires sometimes, and the more confused you are, the more confused those readings will be. That is why, when you do go in for a reading, you should try to be as objective and clear headed as you can, and try not to project your latent desires for the outcome into your energies. This way, you will get much better readings.
Meanwhile, I suggest that you stop doing these readings for a bit, find a calm place and try to see the real situation without letting any of these ‘guidances’ come into your mind. Perhaps, then you will see the real issue, and try to find a rational solution for it.
In my experience, getting many readings does tend to confuse the real issue in the mind of the person who gets those readings, thereby causing even more confusion in the perception of the reality of the situation. Just get back to normal, and see things from a normal point of view, and hopefully, things should look clearer for you.
And once you’ve seen the root cause of the issues for your question, you might even discover a way to change the outcome or your reaction to a pre-destined outcome.
Hope this helps…
Hi,
I’ve been very unsettled lately because my mother had a reading and the tarot reader brought me up. I’m married with a baby and the tarot reader told my mother that she sees divorce in the future, she doesn’t know when.. She estimated in 14 years bc of a third person, where my husband will leave me for her. How do I take this and change it positively or anything? Can she really call something that far away? I know everyone has the risk of something like this, but it’s not even just saying that he’ll just cheat or that we will have difficulties, she said he would leave me. I can control myself and my actions, but I can’t control his. And I won’t tell him anything. I just don’t know how to mentally prepare myself for this. I don’t know how to take it out of my thoughts either bc right now it’s just eating me up. Can you give me some light in how to change this path? Should I get a reading myself and face my fears? Or stay clear from this lady?
-Susan
Hi Susan,
I can’t really comment upon the accuracy of the reading or whether you should visit this Tarot reader yourself or not. I also cannot comment on whether someone can see things that far ahead in the future or not because I have no personal experience about the accuracy of the predictions made by the reader your mother went to.
But I can certainly say one thing here: sometimes predictions made in readings can have a psychosomatic effect on the querent. This means that situations can often manifest because of emotional reactions. If you let such predictions affect you so much, I suggest that you steer clear of getting any sort of readings like this in the future, because it may adversely affect your relationships in the present.
You can’t really get all upset about it now. Who knows? 14 years down the line, you might be the one asking him to leave?
The point that I am trying to make is this: a certain prediction made about events that may or may not happen so far into the future shouldn’t be allowed to affect your present. Live in the here and now, and just forget about such predictions. Don’t give them the power to affect or change your today. If something bad is going to happen in the future, then it will happen regardless. Getting or not getting a prediction won’t really make much of a difference if that is the path your life is supposed to go on to.
Readings are meant for guidance. At the most, knowing that such an event will occur should help you mentally and emotionally prepare for the situation, so you can handle it well as and when it actually occurs.
I hope this helps…
Madhavi
Hi again Madhavi,
I have a question concerning the Moon card’s interpretation. For the illusion meaning of it, is the illusion always appealing and good, or could it be worse than the reality? For example, if I’ve got the impression that someone hates me, and drew the Moon card, could it mean that I am having wrong impressions and being scared for nothing?
Thanks!
Yvaine,
Hi!
The Moon card can have many interpretations. Illusions, deceptive thoughts, projection, even creativity and intuition…
But most importantly, it talks about facing your fears. Really looking at the things you fear the most straight in the face. Which is very, very scary.
So, when you draw the Moon card in your reading, pay attention to the first thought that comes in your mind as you turn the card over and look at it. What are the fears that surface in your mind when you see it?
In the context of your question, what is it about this friend that makes you feel this fear? Look very deep within yourself to find the answer. Fears always emerge from within our self. Not facing them leads to deception and illusions about anger, resentment and hate. Facing them leads to clarity and fearlessness.
Be honest with yourself, and walk away from the deceptive thoughts that the mind can create to mask those fears. And you will be able to arrive at your answer.
And yes, the path through the gates of the Moon card is not so easy, so keep believing and walk through them with honesty and strength – and you will see the truth…

Hii madhavi I have a few questions
1. When your being read your cards can a reader miss something bad? Like if someone is either doing something tabs to you or wishing bad things would happen to you? I’ve been told by a few readers that I’m good at feeling when things are happening to me and around me, I was also told that I will start doing the same thing just not now..
2. Is there a such thing as someone who doesn’t like you, have your picture and do bad things to you?
I’ve been having issues with a co worker for some time now and I’m noticing she has changed, meaning she does EVERYTHING I do.. Down to the way I speak,dress, attitude, etc.. Every time I go into work I get this feeling like Some one is either watching me or trying to tell me something.. My ear always rings when she’s around.. I know it might sound like I have a copy cat or a fan of mine, but she is in to evil things. (Which I was told from a reader) and from her also..
My best friends grandmother made me a bracelet for protection and it broke, she told me if that happens some one tried to do something bad to you is that true?
3. What can I do to stop this individual and protect myself from her evil doings? This is getting out of control already ..
Hello Madhavi,
I have been getting regular reading 3-4 times a year for several years from a woman I find remarkably reliable and insightful. Things have come to pass that I have initially thought were ridiculous. She is generally very positive but also gentle but honest when there are things I don’t want to hear. Over time we have become friends. I know she wants good things for me.
For the past year, she has been reading re: a particular difficulty I have been experiencing. Initially, she said it would resolve as I wanted but it would time and as time has passed her readings have been consistent. I have seen the same cards so many times, I am beginning to learn how to read them.
Recently, on three different days, individual playing cards were literally on paths in front of me; I found one a street, one on a foot path and, remarkably, one underwater at a beach. They were 2 queens of spades and one king of heart.The queen has represented a woman who has caused great heartache to me. The man over whom the heartache has been is usually represented by the king of diamonds.
At the same time, a dear friend of me later told me that during the three days I was finding the cards, he was overwhelmed by a sense of concern for me.
Unfortunately, my regular reader was not available to me so I called a woman who had been strongly recommended to me by someone for whom I have great respect, spiritually.
This second reader described my character and life circumstances in very general ways and in ways that sounded very negative to me – referring to my state of mind as chaotic, negative and depressive.These are not ways in which I think of myself, at all!As for the concerning situation, she stated that the past was the past and I had to forget about it and move on.
This second reading has left me feeling very disconcerted. AS for the found cards, she interpreted them as simply being a statement of fact – that I was involved in a love triangle. It has also left me feeling full of doubt about myself and my faith in the previous readings.
I am careful not to be a person who is deluded and I actively work on not stirring the pot and letting things develop (though I am not always good at this). But now I am wondering about the wisdom of getting another reading from my regular psychic.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
Hi Selke,
Thanks for writing to me. 🙂
Well, every reader has their own way of saying things, telling things – because they are different people. Each reader has his / her own style of reading, if you will. Looks like you’ve encountered that more than anything else.
You are used to, and from what you say, you really like the reading style of your regular Tarot reader. Which is why the reading style of the other Tarot reader kinda rubbed you the wrong way, I think. That doesn’t mean that the second reader isn’t good or anything like that – its just that you and her style probably didn’t gel all that much. It happens. Its happened to me too! 🙂
So, don’t worry so much about that.
Try to see the salient points, the highlights, or the main points of what they said in the reading, rather than focusing on how it was said. Look for the points of guidance and insight – because that is the important thing.
Hope this helps…

P.S. – Finding those playing cards in different places – wow! That is awesome! It seems like the Universe is sending you messages! Btw, have you ever been interested in learning how to read the Tarot cards?
Hi Madhavi,
Are readings only accurate if you make them with a professional tarot reader? Because I have my own deck and i would do readings on my own for myself and for friends…
Also, for the situations like Adriana, where people are eager “to hear what they want to hear,” how to choose which reading to believe in? Being convinced in what you want and just go for it or that things are over and let it go?
Hi Yvaine,
Thanks for writing to me. 🙂
You can most certainly read with your own deck! If you study your cards, and use your intuition while doing your readings, and of course, with a bunch of practice, your readings will be accurate as well! The difference between you and a professional Tarot reader is only this: the professional does it professionally! LOL
Now about the second part of your question – it can be hard to determine which are the readings when you read for someone who ‘wants to hear what they want to hear’. But I have discovered that there are some cards which might let us on to this situation. In my case, the Moon card, the Hanged Man, the High Priestess Reversed, some or either of these cards show up in the reading to let me know that this is going on. Of course, that is not to say that these cards don’t come up when they want to talk about what they talk about in normal circumstances as well. So.. Yeah.. It is a bit of listening to my own intuition when these cards turn up, and also paying attention to how emotionally involved the client is in that particular question.
You might come up with different cards though.. So pay attention. Your cards’ll tell ya! 🙂
Hope this helps…
Best of luck with your reading practice…

Hi Madhavi,
I’ve had 5 readings and 4 out of the 5 told me that my ex will change and we will get back together but that it will take some time but 1 out of the 5 which her ratings were good and also said that she is very accurate on her testimonials said it’s over. The other 4 readers have good ratings and testimonials too…pretty confused only because that ONE that said it was over….not sure what to think…Thank you…
Adriana,
Yours is a classic example!
Yes, which reading should you believe? If you go by the ‘majority wins’ rule, the 4 readings that said the same thing ought to be right, yes? But then, the 1 reading that tells the complete opposite has you all worried…
Frankly, I think it’s more of a case of you wanting to hear what you want to hear, and therefore the one reading that doesn’t tell you that is messing with your mind.
Be careful… This is a slippery slope… How many readings will it take for you to be convinced?
I went to a tarot reader recently and I have some questions to ask her that I didnt think to ask then should I wait longer than 2 days to go back and ask her or ask her now that its on my mind?
Hey Barbara,
If it is a completely new question then of course you can.

I believe I had way too many readings due to being impatient. About 99% of the reading have been the same however timing of things actually happening has not occurred. My question is can readers pick other on someone else feelings? Can someone pick up on when things will take place?
Hi Denise,
Yes, it can happen… In fact, it has happened to me quite a few times where I end up picking up on the client’s feelings and desires.. And sometimes they are so strong that they end up influencing the reading. This occurs only when I am doing face-to-face readings though, and not when I do the readings offline…But I have developed a sense for such situations over time and most of the time I can know when such is the case.
The reason is quite simple actually – when we do readings, readers are tapping into the Unconscious self of the client, so it does tend to happen…
Madhavi
Hii,
Okay so I went for my first reading in the month of july maybe. It was a very impulisive decision without any much thought given, so whatever she told me then seemed sort of real, and made sense. She gave me initials of some person that I’d meet later in life. Possible initials, however now in november when I went again everything was opposite and different than what she had said earlier. About my career, my love life, my future. I personally think she didn’t put much effort in it this time, but even the initials were changed and when I asked her about it she said there are 6 possible initials 3 she gave last time, ar this time. She told me to wear a stone called Green Aventurine? Is it helpful, do you know? I’m so confused.
Hi rminty,
Hmmm.. Based on what you say in your comment, I see that your Tarot reader is giving you different information each time…
To be honest, I can’t much guide you on the initials of the names and the gemstone bit – because I don’t ‘get’ those kinds of things in my readings… (You could Google green aventurine, I guess to get more information about its usefulness)…
But… here’s what I feel…
Your first reading resonated with you a lot, whereas the second reading did not. Also, from your message I got that whatever your reader predicted hasn’t happened as of yet… So, I suggest that you go with the reading that felt most right, i.e. the first one.
The way I see it, the future is a result of a variety of actions that you take and do not take in the present. Therefore with your free will you can change your future to a certain extent… So, if we assume that both your readings were right at each point of time, then it might be that in the time between your two readings, things may have changed with you, your approach towards events and incidents, or something along those lines, which may have caused the changed reading.
Or else, like I said before, just go with the reading that resonated with you the most.
And wait, and let the future happen. Give it time. Be a bit more patient.
Taking a reading again and again, or going from reader to reader doesn’t accelerate time and make things happen any quicker than they are supposed to.. 🙂
Madhavi
Sorry, but after I asked about work I asked about love and that’s when they said about the NEW and COMMITTED realtionship, I didn’t give his b-day…..thanks
Hi Shalanda,
Sorry for such a late reply.. Your message somehow slipped past my email and other notifications… 🙁
I read through your message a couple of times to understand what it was all about… Here’s what I got: You want your ex back, and different readers are giving you different readings for your question. One says yes, and another says no.
Yes, it can be quite confusing. But here’s the thing. I feel that since you want your ex back, you are jumping from reader to reader, in the hopes that someone will tell you what you want to hear. Even if a reader does tell you that, it might be that the reader is catching your own wishes, rather than the actual answer. At the same time, it might also be possible, that you might get back with your ex.
So, based on your conflicting readings, I would say you have a 50-50 chance of it going either way. 🙂
I know this isn’t much help… But those are my thoughts…
About the NEW relationship question: by definition, a NEW relationship will be with someone NEW. How can it be with your ex?

Hello,
I recently had four different readings done, I had a bad break up with my ex on April 23. I talked to a spiritual friend who said that he was wrong for taking the car we got together, but that I would find out something he did and it won’t hurt so bad, the only that comes to mind is that he lied about not wanting to be with me anymore…she didn’t have his b-day..OK so wanting to know more just from someone different, I came across a online free chat, the first person from the chat said that we would have a second chance between the two of us and it wouldn’t be til the end of this June, a couple days later I asked somewhat the same thing and was told that they didn’t see any romance, time is needed and could start out casual about that we weren’t done for good…..those two from the site i did give his birthday…..OK….the third I did today I asked about finding work, they said I will have a NEW and COMMITTED relationship and that LIKELY it could be someone I will work with, this one I didn’t give his b-day, is this LIKELY that was their opinion on who and where, cause I REALLY, REALLY want my ex back, I know I need to be patient and let him be, I haven’t talked to him, but could I have already messed up something???? I feel the NEW and COMMITTED relationship could still be with him, can it????? any advice PLEASE?????? Thanks:)
Hi,
I have gone to three different people to read me my cards and two of them have about been on track of what i happening in my life husband left and with somebody else but time to time he would tell me he loved me. But one card reader would tell me good things happening in my ex-husbands life with his girlfriend in his future and she wouldn’t tell me anything about my future and if i will ever be happy. Second card reader in first reading told me positive things happening in my life and will be happy again and not to take back my exhusband as he was not the same man i married. A month later went back to the second card reader and told me mostly about my husband that he was being worked on by the lady he is with and she is trying to dominate and control him and he has done many things to me that he was being forced to do by somebody else. That we can be happy again if i fight for him and defend him against these evil people that want us apart. I do think that somebody has done something to us to seperate us but i am confused now to her first and second reading since things have not been going good for me and i really didn’t see a future for myself since i am so heartbroken for a year and some months. I don’t know whether i should really fight for him or not since he seems to have so much hate towards me but then he will tell my kids to tell me he loves me. He also goes to get his cards read almost every month or more and he is being told many things about me, some lies and some truths, is there a way i can block anything that card reader tells him about me. and do you know anything about witchcraft, how long does it take to wear off.
Hi Liz,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here…
To be honest, relationships like this are a bit tricky to talk about, even if one knows all the ‘facts’.
Again, I would stress on the fact that the cards can provide you with tons of guidance, but they will often reflect what you are thinking of more strongly at the time of the reading.
From what you say about your ex-husband, it seems like he is giving you all kinds of confused signals. Or, he might be saying that he loves you in front of your kids so that they don’t get affected by the negativity of his relationship with you. Either way, he seems to have moved on. Why don’t you do the same?
I understand that it can be very difficult, but it is not impossible.
As for your question about witchcraft etc, I would like to be honest and say that I genuinely believe that unless you let someone hurt you, they can’t hurt you – no matter what method they may use. Make yourself stronger from within, so that no negative energies of any sort can even come close to you.
Apart from that, I don’t practice in such ‘arts’, so I can’t quite give you any advice on the same.
Hope you find the clarity and guidance you are looking for…

I did my Tarot reading in the month of February and then in the month of March. I asked the same question twice and the first time everything that i asked about someone was positive and then later we have some drifts within us so i took a second opinion in the month of March, the second reading was totally negative… i am just confused whether the first reading was correct or the second (as i kept on saying negative about that person to the tarot card reader) please suggest
Hi Sonali,
Thanks for writing in.
Well, from what I read, your first reading was positive, but the actual results weren’t so great. And then you had a second reading which wasn’t all that promising – so now you are confused which reading was more accurate.
Based on what you’ve described, it seems as if the second reading was more on track because it closely follows what is happening in your life, right?
But you probably don’t want to hear that.. 🙂
What I can honestly suggest is look at every reading you do as a guidance and not as a declaration from the Fates. The cards are meant to tell you stuff that can help you grow as an individual, and help you understand the known and unknown factors that surround every situation in your life. This helps you approach those situations in a better way than you would’ve under normal circumstances.
Did either of the readings give you such pointers? What have you overlooked in your quest for hearing just the answers? Did you want to hear just a particular answer? These are certainly things to ponder about…
Madhavi
Hello my name Is Christina I had about 2 readings in the last month. The first one felt a little fake to me, some things he said was true but he asked me too many questions.. I was told they are not suppose to ask you questions, they’re supposed to know!! Well my second reading was more in detail but similar to what the first reader told me…so far the stuff that the second reader told me came true within a week, but the third thing she told me hasn’t happened yet and it’s something that I think about a lot because it means do much to me (I’m very impatient). I made some mistakes trying to get it to happen quicker.. Will this ruin it from happening?
Hi Christina,
Your comment made me smile … Not in a bad way, just in a way that means “I’ve seen this before…”
Let me address your concerns one by one…
About the reader asking questions: this can happen, and it is perfectly ok to ask questions. Readers are human too, and not all of them get psychic visions about their clients. Sometimes asking questions can also help understand the stuff that is coming to the reader intuitively… Helps them put the intuitive flashes of information in context and tell the client what they see…
As for the part where you say you’ve made some mistakes trying to get things to happen quicker, and whether it will prevent the desired scenario from happening: Well, honestly, this is truly something that you need to figure out. Let me explain why. I believe that all of us are somehow involved in the creation of our destinies – whether they’ve been predicted or not. So, it also stands to reason that by changing the variables of the equation, it is highly likely that the outcome might change. But then, you need to consider all the variables in that equation. If all of them have changed, then the outcome will most likely change. But if these variables have changed in such a way that they balance each other out, then it is also likely that the outcome just might be the same.
Since I don’t really know the details of the situation, I can only say that if you’ve ruined things really bad, then things might not happen as expected. You might see another outcome. But then again, things might not.
I would genuinely suggest not worrying and not wondering about this outcome, and just being patient and seeing what happens. Sometimes impatience can also cause problems…

Hi,
Im a 33 year old woman who had a tarot reading done about 4 months ago and it was my first experience with this type of divination. I had specifically asked the tarot reader not to tell me anything negative if she were to see something. This reading has left me totally confused and very anxious since because all of the negativity that came out of her mouth and im wordering if what she told me will come true. She even foresaw what i will happen to me at the age of 60…can she look that far…and how do i know if she was a fake…this reading definitely didnt help make clear decisions and i never asked any questions either..Please help!!
Hi,
Thanks for asking me for some guidance…
First off, I would like to say that sometimes if negative things do pop up in readings, a reader simply cannot avoid not talking about it… If, lets say, the Tarot reader hadn’t told you about it, and then negative things had come about, then you would probably complain as to why she didn’t give you fair warning if in case she saw it… It is a very tough position for any Tarot reader to be in – and believe me most of us have been there – on either side of the reading table.
Secondly, there are some things, which I personally believe, can be changed with the use of one’s free will.. It is up to you to understand what, among all those negative things, you can avoid or change, and you can change them.
As for whether the reader was genuine or fake, well, only time can tell.
What I can tell you with a certain amount of practicality is to take everything with a grain of salt and be pragmatic in your approach towards the guidance that the reader did give. If some things that she said did come to pass, then you can take the other stuff as guidance, and work towards ensuring that you use your free will in order to create a much better scenario in the future. In my experience, I have seen many people who have taken such a practical approach and change their negatives into positives.
Another thing I would like to say here is: you can see the stuff she said as totally negative and let it psych you out, OR, you can turn it into a guidance and use it to create your destiny and chart a path where you might not run into those obstacles.
Also, as far as whether she could see as far as what will happen to you at the age of 60 – well, sometimes intuitions happen. Maybe she got a ‘feeling’ about it…
Also, just to be clear, since I don’t exactly know what the reading was all about, most of what I am saying is just a genuine but generalized guidance.
Hope it helps you see things better.
Madhavi
