There are problems doing your own readings when we often allow our own bias to slip in (this is **especially likely** if you **immediately thought this isn’t something you would do** ) but one area I really like doing readings for yourself is [shadow work spreads](https://forum.thetarot.guru/t/shadow-work-tarot-tips/340). I think it’s hard to be that honest with yourself, but even harder to be honest with other people sometimes. And that kind of reading can take some brutal honesty.
