How do you do your daily draw? Do you have a question? A direction even, what you should focus on, what you should avoid?
I've had a tendency to just 'pull a card' without thinking about what I was actually asking.
As a flipside to my 'can't always get what you want' observation about reading, this results in a 'could be anything you want' reading. Without a position in a spread, without a question (a bit like the old 'clarifier', really) the 'just pulling a card' could be read as a warning, an invitation, it could be us, it could be someone else... it could be anything, really.
I feel an intuitive reader might suggest that we should, intuitively, understand what the message is. And perhaps so. But I think part of the whole point of using Tarot and its traditions is to give our insight some boundaries and focus.
So when I 'draw a card for the day', what am I actually asking?
