Do You Read Tarot For Money?

Do you read tarot (professionally, or otherwise) in return for payment? Are you successful in this? Do you make a living out of it, or is it more of a hobby? How do you provide the readings.. face-to-face, over the telephone, by email/instant messenger? Do people give good feedback about your readings? Do you get nervous about giving readings, or are you really relaxed about it?

I've given readings to ppl over the yrs but I never take money for it...to be perfectly honest iwth you I'm very against that practice myself and will never take payment for my help...i do it because I like to help ppl not because I want money for something...

I've done readings for friends and some family, but I've never asked for money. It's something I enjoy, and I have a real hard time asking for money for something I consider fun (I guess that's why I'm still in a low-paying managerial position, eh?).

I dont do it professionally as I am still learning the cards and I only do it once in a while for myself, when I was at university I used to do my friends cards (those who took it seriously or had some understanding). I think you have to be very good to be able to give a successful reading through phone or email but I have had some good email results from other people, so I would say it is possible. I give a little feedback after the session (if applicable) but not through it as its a great way for a 'fake' to launch you into a conversation and read a little bit more from you. I would be too nervous of criticism to do professional readings which is why I don't do them!

No I've never charged anyone for a reading. Tarot's been pretty accurate -- though with predictions it can be right or wrong..since people can change their own futures right after they get a reading..which changes their future. I've done it over IM for friends, and in person when my mom and a few friends of hers invited me to spend a girls day out with them. People usually like my readings, yeah..I tend to try to keep the mood light and the people laughing. I USED to be extremely nervous but as I got more experience I got more relaxed around them. Um..I think I've answered everything heh.
