Just completed my first tarot reading of 2012. I learned something quite valuable doing this reading. The question that was asked by the querent had too many threads to it and so I took quite a time to redefine the question to put to the cards. I used a simple three card layout, Answer, Obstacle, Outcome. That in itself was quite odd. Obstacle being the middle card should mean that the last card might be advice. I felt compelled not to change it and the reason became obvious in the reading. There was not advise to give. The answer and the obstacle cards were self-explanatory and the querent would know the advise because it was all wrapped in the obstacle.
What was further amazing about the reading was that though I changed the original question, the answers to my newly defined question actually did deal with the original question as well. 
I found this reading very easy to do in that my own thoughts were not intentionally playing a part in the reading. I do hope I get some feedback from this reading
