instead of serious consideration. Mine was a two-timer prone to violence. The cards showed me other women – I desperately kept my mouth shut. I did avoid many violent confrontations by seeing these situations and reacting meekly to avoid the repercussions. Realize this was being done in my late teens. I am in no way condoning learning to read as a way to avoid a bad, emotionally or physically damaging relationship. As a mature woman, when I see the same cards for a client, I encourage finding personal happiness, making sure one is educated and able to provide well for themselves. I also have no problem reminding these clients that there are resources available to help a woman escape from relationship hell. I keep a list of those phone numbers if I read at an event. In my case, the relationship ended with a temper tantrum that made my parents ban him from ever coming back in our house. I quickly found myself relieved and feeling free.

Move ahead to the next serious relationship. Thank goodness we were attached before I read for anyone – he thought the whole thing was bovine scatology (for someone who is unfamiliar with that term just take the initials BS and you’re there). He laughed his butt off at the whole process. My client

walked away with their head spinning because of my accuracy. I just smiled because I knew I still had it and could use it. However, this relationship was special – I didn’t need to read about it. I was comfortable and happy. We had our ups and downs, but continued along. Perhaps that’s a sign of an amazing relationship or the right one. You don’t need a reading to feel what is going to happen.

I do still get asked the question when I teach Tarot classes – “Is it OK to read about my own personal relationship?” My answer is “Why do you feel you need to read about it?” Are you feeling insecure? Is there some reason why you can’t give into the passion without guilt? Do you think you can rebuild the person you are dating like an artist with a lump of clay? In every case, the answer is “I think your intuition is telling you something without ever having to pick up the cards.”
