While sitting down with my deck and thinking about laying out my cards, sometimes I get this feeling like I picked a bad time to do it. When I draw my cards and lay them out regardless of this feeling, I never get productive results, and I have to conclude that the laying was a fluke and try again later.
Does that happen to anyone else? I mean, sometimes I just get this rush of energy, like it is the perfect time to read some tarot, and when I follow this instinct to my deck, I get startling results! Then there are times when I hope it's a fluke, when I can feel that it's not, and I draw again and I get the exact same reading. Any ideas? Is it an energy issue, or are there simply opportunity in time that we have to look for?

The same thing happens with baking, painting, art, writing, etc. Anything like that, it seems, doesn't turn out well if it doesn't feel like a good day to to it. Baking won't turn out good if you're not in the mood. Likewise, I can't draw pictures or write stories unless the inspiration hits me and I'm in a creative mood. I'm sure there are psychic/magical moods - if you're in that mood, it's a good time for tarot or spell working. If you're just doing it because, even though you don't feel like it, you tell yourself to do it, you have to do it, etc, it won't turn out. So I'd say if it doesn't feel like the right time, don't waste your time. ^_^
I'm pretty sure it's happened to me too. I want to do a tarot reading with my new cards, but it just doesn't feel like the right time, but I did a reading anyways because I wanted to. It didn't turn out.

That's an interesting perspective, to liken divination to art. I hadn't looked at it like that before, but I could see them both being forms of inspiration and expression. Thank you.

No problem. I'm a bit of an artist, and writer, and have had plenty of blocks where I want to write/draw, but it just doesn't turn out at all.
Then again, I just read an article on how to find inspiration, and how a work of art is not so much a "BANG! I have inspiration!" (as those times are really very few) as a search for the inspiration, the artist looks for it and tries to create.
Though I still hold - you can try, and don't stop trying, but if it isn't turning out and it just seems an off day, don't bother. Just don't wait for inspiration to hit, because that epiphany might take a while to get there.

From what I've learned for divining yourself dosen't exactally get fantastic results... for the ovboius reasons..

I never really look to see what my future holds. I usually only do my pathwork spread to see where I'm at and how I can grow.
