Tarot and Oracle Cards
 Tarot and Oracle cards are a tool used by many people to help give insights into your past, present, possible future, emotional & spiritual growth. They can be very accurate but should only be used for guidance as we all have our own choices/decisions in life to make & we are all responsible for our own actions.
Most card sets come with a small guide book which will give you explanations, reading spreads/card layouts & interpretations for each card meaning, after a while you may out grow the guide book & use your own card interpretations & spreads.
When using cards to do readings for others you should be honest with them about your level of expertise, whether the card interpretations have come from the guide book or yourself & also remind them that any card reading that you do for them is for guidance only & that you are not responsible for any action that they may take based on the reading that you have given them. Don't ask for any information from them other than the question that they wish to have their reading based on as this may be seen as fishing for information.
If you don't feel comfortable doing a reading or are unsure about whether the right cards have been turned up for a particular person, be honest & tell them so as soon as possible, don't make things up just to please them. Be considerate of their feelings, don't judge them or their situation & don't discuss their reading with anyone other than themselves unless they have given you their permission. If you feel that someone comes to you too often for readings or feel that they are coming to rely on you too much, tell them gently that it may be better for them to take a break for a while to think things through for themselves.
 When you receive a card reading be aware that it is for guidance only, never make a life changing decision solely on the advice of someone who may be a perfect stranger... for one thing they won't have to live with the consequences, you will. Remember that reading's are great for giving you a different perspective on your life & on occasions they may be useful in exploring your options before making a decision but on the other hand it is unhealthy to go to a reader every time there is a small issue as it is human nature to make mistakes and we should be bold enough to make our own choices when it comes to living from day to day.
Most of the time you will want to consult the cards because you are facing a problem, challenge or maybe something about your life is troubling you & you would like to have a better understanding as to why this maybe happening and what you can do about it.
If this is the case then you need to phrase your question in a way that will help you relate the guidance you receive to your situation in a way that makes sense to you.
Try not to ask for yes or no answers, instead, begin your questions with phrases such as these:
Can you give me insight into...?
What do I need to understand about...?
What is the meaning of...?
What is the lesson or purpose of...?
How can I improve my chances of...?
How might I...
A general reading is not tied to any particular problem but covers your long-term growth and development; it can offer guidance that embraces the larger patterns that are shaping your everyday experiences.
All readings should be viewed as "entertainment" only and should not be used as a substitute for a consultation with a medical, psychological, legal or financial professional.
