And no more than that: tell the story, listen to the response. Maybe they just say the field can’t be empty; maybe they insist on reading the relating hexagram and ignoring the rest. But maybe, somewhere in their response, is a tiny seed that’s the beginnings of understanding. If you detect its presence, it’s not a great idea to pounce, dig it up, throw it into a pan of boiling water and shout ‘Germinate!’ at it. You say ‘oh, yes’, echo their insight back to them. You use the word ‘maybe’, you leave questions hanging, and then you*retreat*and leave space for the imagery to work.

And you’re secretly thinking, “Then why the hell did you just pay $50 for a reading?!”
In the heat of the moment, full of your awareness of the reading, compassion and frustration, this is*hard. But what I try to do is to let reasoning go, and just share imagery and tell stories. I’d be quite open about this: ‘You know, this really doesn’t look promising to me at all… but let me tell you the story of the line, and you can listen and find what resonates with you.’
I like reading tarot blogs – there’s a whole supportive culture out there of readers, and the challenges they face are not so different from * those encountered by Yi people. For instance, here’s Brigit writing warmly and with a good dose of common sense about dealing with difficult clients.
