Each card has symbology associated with it corresponding to numerology, astrology, and other iconographies, so when laying out the cards - you interpret those symbols, their position on the reading, and their relationship with each other (I compare this with what one does to analyze a work of art or piece of literature). When I do this for myself (or a firend) I'll start free interpreting and seeing what resonates, if I find something I'll explore it further. It's that act of interpretation that I find most revaltory in the way I read.

Of course I suspect a fortune teller does the same thing, using different terms
