Exercises - Lesson 9

The Other Reading

Exercise 1 Tarot - Doing a Reading About a News Event

Go through today's newspaper and choose a topic that interests you. Read over the facts that are available, and write a question that covers one aspect of the situation. Do an Other Reading following the procedure described in lesson 9. Write down your interpretation and what you predict the outcome will be.

Later, when the situation has resolved somewhat, go over your reading and relate it to what happened.

Exercise 2 Tarot - Am I Involved?

Think of a problem that is bothering a close friend. Choose a person whose concerns are important to you. Write a question about the problem as if you were doing an Other Reading. Deliberately keep yourself out of the question. When you are done, ask yourself these three questions:

1. Do I feel strong emotions when I think about this person in this situation?
2. Do I have a vested interest in this situation?
3. Do I desire a particular outcome in this situation?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, rewrite your original question so that it is centered on you.
