Why I like to say things plainly in a reading

I used to be afraid of being wrong, so I kept my readings too cautious. Later I learned that making sure clients understand what I'm saying matters more than saving face.

Someone once asked me: speaking so directly, aren't you afraid that if things turn out differently, people will say you were wrong? I am. When I first started reading, I worried about that a lot.

Once, I only said half of it

That time the cards showed what looked like a turning point. I felt it was too risky to say, so I used cautious wording. A few months later, the client ran into something similar, but because they hadn't understood what I meant, they didn't have time to prepare.

I deeply regretted that. I'd been trying to avoid being wrong, and forgot that what the client needed was an explanation they could understand.

Saying it directly, and being clear about the limits

Now I state the main points I see clearly, including the parts that aren't pleasant to hear. At the same time I explain that this is my reading, and which parts are still uncertain.

I don't want you to leave remembering only one frightening sentence. Rather than declaring what will happen, I want to be specific about why I see it this way and what you can watch for. If you don't understand or don't agree, just ask me.
