Pick fifteen or thirty minutes
For a first reading, short is fine. Fifteen minutes covers one question; thirty lets you ask a follow-up or two.
Choose walk-in or a booked time
Check the reader's schedule before visiting. Same-day bookings and walk-ins depend on open appointment times.
Think of one question
Something you actually care about. It does not need to be clever.
Sit down and listen
The reader shuffles, lays cards and talks you through them. Ask anything that is unclear.
Take one thing with you
Write down the card or sentence that stuck. That is the part worth keeping.
