Bad news from a Hong Kong fortuneteller is oddly reassuring

[The Straight Story]

....

Before B became a tarot reader she worked in various jobs, but mentions no history of psychic ability or connection with something unobtainable to the rest of the public. She started learning tarot cards in 2002 after visiting her mentor and neighboring card reader, known as Ally.

Having visited Ally to have her own cards read, B was impressed by the positive impact the cards could have, and decided to learn how to read cards full time. By 2003 she had set up her stall.

“With tarot reading, I tell my clients what they are capable of achieving, not what will definitely happen to them. It’s up to them whether they follow my advice. I’m helping them understand their options, not delivering them their destiny.”

If the news from the cards is negative, B sees it as her job to find ways to help clients steer clear of potential misfortune, making her service a responsive, emotional and therapeutic one and not just a one-way reading.
