I use the cards as a self-development tool for not only myself but for my clients. I am very up front when people call for readings that I do NOT tell their 'future.'
I let them know, and this goes for when I read myself, too, that I look at what looks likely then try to find what it is that is blocking me (or them) from attaining what they want or whatever. It's all about "this is what you need to do to get what you want" rather than "this is what's going to happen *to* you.
