Re: "Soft and fluffy" tarot
Absofreakinglutely. I nip that right in the bud - by the time the reading is over they have been duly and thoroughly warned and I give them no room to "shoot" me for it. Heard enough of that crap, lol - I don't get paid for what I do, I do it happily for dear friends and people who ask my help, so I certainly ain't paid enough to get nagged because I gave the reading they insisted so much upon (especially after I carefully inform them about how I work). In the end, though, hubs and I end up with people sort of coming back head hanging and being really appreciative we didn't BS them (we both work together on Tarot). It's better to just put it blunt but gentle, caring but honest, in my opinion.
EDIT: I mean obviously you want to be tactful, patient and kind with the reading. It's meant to help, after all. We always try to be encouraging at the end and if bad things are mentioned in the reading, we assure the seeker(s) that nothing is carved in stone and just sit and chat with them a bit. We try to leave it on a good note, having given them something to think about and plenty of encouragement. Just wanted to clarify.
