Using your reading

What does my reading mean?

The word you received is a universal need or value: something that is important to everyone, but in different degrees at different times.  If it doesn't seem important or relevant to you right now, it may be important to someone else close to you. That person might even be here TONIGHT!

What do I do with it?

With your consent, Dr. Mysterious will write out your reading and pin it on you, so that other people can see it.

Noticing someone else's reading

As you enjoy the event tonight, notice if someone else's reading seems particularly relevant to you right now.  Think about why that might be, and how to describe your thought succinctly.

Asking for a trade

If you do happen to  notice someone else whose reading seems particularly relevant to you, strike up a conversation. Tell them briefly why it's so relevant. Optionally, ask them to trade with you.  

What if they say no?

If they don't think your reading is more relevant to them than the one they received, they might decline your offer to trade.  That's ok.  We're all allowed to say no.  You might offer to buy them a drink and see if it influences their willingness to trade.

What if everyone wants to trade with me?

Oh, the burden of extreme popularity.  Now you know how Chappell Roan feels, right?  If you discover that you're feeling annoyed and wanting privacy, here are a couple of strategies that might meet your need:  1) trade with someone--maybe a person whose reading was "peace" or "privacy"; or 2) unpin the reading and hide it.
