Readers are quite different in their style and how they work. You can be recommended a reader by a friend who says this person is the best reader ever and then you don't get on with them at all. There has to be a connection between both sides!
It's worth thinking about what you want from your reader or in a reader. Do you have a special area you want to ask about? Some specialise in love readings or career. I know one reader I use who only does questions about advice where she provides a solution, it has to be an advice question. What sort of style or personality do you like, someone very spiritual? someone more psychological? someone sensitive? someone to the point?
obviously many readers combine many of those areas but different readers have different special skills and you can then find them in your local area.
You can search your area on google to find some, or look on social networks. get recommendations from your friends. my area has psychic fairs many times a year with about 20 readers! there is local tarot associations who you can find a reader from. or new age shops like Nisaba recommended.
But take some time to find someone who fits what you want and you will get a much better reading!
