I have used a tarot deck for the past 22 years and have a question

My readings are based on selecting face down cards by their feel and arranging them as the patterns form to me

This is very accurate to the point of almost frightening the querant since they normally will not share the question with me before I do the reading

I also consult sometimes with my little spirit helper when stuck

I am often suprised by how on target these are

Yet since There is no formal structure beyond perhaps a loose past present and future grouping is this really a tarot reading

The meanings also change for the cards depending on the patterns that form

I know how to do some traditional readings like the celtic cross but never do them

I can see infidelity, the sex of a baby, death, good luck ect.ect

and have to hold back a little since I don't want to upset the person and am not compleatley sure what I am seeing everytime

Also I believe the future changes depending on actions

Should I even call these tarot readings?
