accuracy and specificity

why am i worse at tarot reading now? i've lost all specificity. i think i had the most of it back when i was reading for people on the aeclectic forums - there was a lot of "real life" questions (vs. spiritual/internal/personal development type of stuff), so it was easy for there to even *be* specifics for me to get. and i wonder if it's also partially because i'd only just started getting some proficiency in tarot, i didn't know it inside out yet. it was a tool that helped me open up somehow. increase in knowledge = decrease in intuition? (after a certain point, at least). it's easy now to default to some sort of meaning for a card very quickly. i think that's why my preferences switched to pip decks a while back, it forces me to read a whole scene fresh every time. but is that as specific as my earlier RWS skills? and (how) can i work on expanding that RWS-like accuracy? it definitely tightens up when there are spread positions, but i know it's perfectly possible to give accurate…
