I feel terrible asking / saying this. But yesterday I did a reading for a lovely person, who asked a very frustrating question. They wanted me to ask the tarot what to call their baby...which I actually found kind of alarming.
They said they had a few names in mind and wanted to know whether they should choose one or the other. I have to be honest, and admit...I felt very frustrated by this question. I obviously didn't vent my frustration and continued with the reading and with what I felt was being spoken to them on other matters. I basically ignored that question, which I don't feel was the right thing to do...but I honestly just wanted to say "sweet heart, you and you alone have to decide what to call your baby...now, onward!" But I didn't want to sound rude or make them feel silly.
I often feel frustrated by some of the things people ask, purely because I feel as though that is not what tarot is for, at all. I often get people saying "when will I get back with my ex?", for example. And, 9 times out of 10 (even common sense tells me) that they will not get back with their ex...but more importantly, I feel as though there's such deeper, more beautiful lessons to be learnt from having a reading...that are sometimes missed because people just want to know answers to obscure, highly variable things.
Does anyone have advice on how to politely guide people to asking more suitable questions...if that makes sense?
Blessed be! xo
