I just went to a psychic. I have had my life reading a few times. I was curious, why do some card readers have you shuffle the cards and others do it themselves? Me and 3 other of my girlfriends went to the same lady. There was one card we had all gotten but she told us each a different meaning for it Why? Is there a difference between a psychic and a tarot card reader? If your psychic does that mean you can read cards?
That is normal to get the same card but it means different things. For instance when I use my angel cards on myself I may get CHILDREN 15 different times. Sometimes it might mean that I need to be more child-like in finding peace/harmony in my life. Next time it might mean that I need to work in a career with children. The following time it might mean that I am having a child. The next might mean that I need to help some children with money/clothes gifts. So hopefully you see as my example shows the same card can come up and since all 3 of you got a reading it probably meant different things because you are all different people. For me I like to shuffle my own cards. I feel more in tune. But some others like to let other feel like they are part of the situation. Either way you would get the same advice. Did you listen to what the psychic told you or were you there to prove something wrong. You have to have an open heart when doing those sort of things.
Some Psychic's/Mediums use Tarot cards as a tool to get the energy from the person then they can connect and give messages if the use their Guide they tell them what to say others may just go with the feeling of what they are telling you is right. It has a lot to do with the persons energy. Some can read aura's as well so they may throw that in. It depends on the Medium 3 people may get the same card however the message may be totally different for each person. Love Blessings Milly
The other cards can influence what you say about a key card. There are a number of meanings behind each card and you pick and choose by what other cards come up with it. It really doesn't matter who shuffles the cards. I've done readings for people in person and had them shuffle the cards, but I've also done readings for people over the internet where they couldn't. Readings were equally accurate. Psychic is ok, but you still need to know how to read the cards. The cards are actually a tool to unlock the psychic gift many people have. Without them, they can't do it. It may seem sometimes that a tarot card reader is fishing for information from you when they do a reading, but most of it is just idle chat to make you more comfortable. The cards are equally accurate whether or not they do it. I don't give readings for strangers any more because of the accuracy of the cards. I did a reading for someone who did not tell me they had cancer. It showed up so strongly in the cards that I couldn't give them ANY hope. Still gives me chills. The cards are accurate for me, but I can't claim to be psychic in any other way.
Anyone can read cards, you can buy them at a bookstore or even on line free tickle card reading. Most psychic like you to shuffle the cards, so it will have only your energy on them. If a card was the same for a friend and you, yes it would have a different meaning because of the other cards all fit together with it too. A psychic can read more of others things. like your past and future without cards. They use cards sometimes also. A card reader doesn't have to be psychic though. Hope this helps you out some.
