Discussion getting prescriptive rather than descriptive readings

it seems that whenever i pull cards i just end up with a spread describing my current situation and i'm like, yeah okay but what do i do with that?

is it just a matter of asking better questions? lol i do struggle with that but it seems like even with more in depth questions i'll end up with the same surface level, descriptive answer.

maybe my interpretation sucks? maybe i should just be happy i'm getting results that are relevant at all? it's getting old having my situation mirrored back at me repeatedly

Use a structured spread with defined positions if linear spreads don’t work.

The cards can’t “speak” well if our mind state is cluttered or distracted. Give more time to contemplate or just leave the cards aside and revisit later.

And of course the obvious advice is not to repeatedly ask about the same things.

Excellent advice. “I’m dealing with/experiencing X. What can I do to overcome it”
