Today's Tarot: Q&A - pro reading vs DIY
Q: I’m curious – Do psychics ever get readings from other psychics, or do you just do them for yourself?
A: I can only speak for myself, but the answer is Yes and Yes. Both.
Think of it this way…if you are a good home cook for your family, do you still like to go out to eat?

Like cooking, listening to your intuition and doing readings (of whatever type – cards, astrology, palms, tea leaves, what have you) is a learned skill. Anyone can learn to cook. Some people like to do it, some don’t. Some people are especially talented at it, some aren’t. Like cooking, if you can do it decently well for yourself, that is what you do most of the time. It’s less expensive that way, if nothing else.
But even a good cook likes to eat out sometimes. Sometimes you just need a hand. Even a good cook can get sick, run out of time, or just need a break. Same is true for psychics. Sometimes we need another set of eyes to help us see around our own bumps in the road. When those times happen, we appreciate the compassion and skill of other readers, just like a good cook has a keener-than-average appreciation for a particularly talented chef.

A good reading re-inspires and refreshes the energy and compassion we give to our own clients.
So yes, both. Which begs the question, how do you know when to get a reading from someone else? That question is answered the same for a practicing ‘psychic’ as it is for anyone. Listen to your heart – or your heartache. If your spirit calls our for guidance or validation, it is more than OK to seek it out. Listen to your own intuition. Getting a reading or not is one decision in life that is fueled by emotion. If you just plain can’t see what your next best step is, a reading can help give you ideas. If two options seem equal, then a reading can help tip the scales one way or another (this situation is particularly good one for DIY). Sometimes emotion is too strong to reason through (or read for yourself through) and an outside look can help restore calm, ease the stress. That’s what Tarot and readings are all about, no matter whether the person getting it is a ‘pro’ or not.
