Just ran this through and got an interesting answer. What asset am I underutilizing? I pulled the five of wands. I'm underutilizing my competition! So I went to my eBay store and sent out some offers that are slightly below the competitors' prices. Hoping for some sales today!

Thank you, Sarah. The question really is the critical part of a reading.

What is interesting to me about that is bringing that to our awareness--how can I change my question--or, if doing a reading for another, figuring out how to gently change their question. I was recently in an intensive around 'creative critique" and in that particular process, the artist gets to ask questions and it was interesting to realize that they often had a hard time articulating their questions--and the facilitator had to help them--so learning to be a facilitator required getting better at being able to help others formulate questions. What you're bringing to our attention here reminded me of that. We might feel some dissatisfaction or feel confused, and want to do a reading, but really, figuring out what we want to ask is at least half the battle!

I've learned a lot watching Erika read Lenormand about the best type of questions to ask. Definitely not yes/no questions or when questions. I've been using that for my personal readings and it saves a lot of time and confusion.

You’re definitely using a good example with Erika. She really excels at asking the best questions.

Such a great idea. Nancy and Erika are both modelling how to connect to the cards. I also like to watch how people shuffle--I notice how Erika shuffles and I'm also fascinated by how Scorched Earth Tarot on youtube shuffles her decks so the cards fly out...

it really is Sarah. When we ask questions like ‘when will I find love?’ we’re acting as though we are a passive non-participant. I think it’s important that we always form a question that shows us a route to achieving whatever it is we want. In reality, it’s about taking our life and our future into our own hands.
