Greetings Volvo! Just "stumbled" upon Yedda.com. Looks pretty cool! I read Tazzy's response to your ?. She couldn't be more right. It's sad but true! Fact is, there are crooks in every single type people you can think of. None are barred. This applies to the mystical/metaphysical world, too. I recommend staying away from those who have the big palm hanging in front of their home/shop! "There's your sign" it's a place you'll be mislead, ripped off & disheartened, not to mention what they can do to your nerves! It's upsetting to be told you have some horrid curse "on you". Of COURSE, they are "the only one" who can take this awful thing off of you. "Geefva mea morea money, I tella you morea. I helpa you!" Sounds crazy, & I hope no one's offended, but it's true! They also will (supposedly) begin burning candles, praying & whatever else they come up w/to tell you they'll do for you. Plus, you'll have to visit them regularly & bring BIG BUCKS when you do. They attempt to make you dependant on them. I've met people who've been taken for literally thousands of $$$$ by this type rotten reader. Please don't let those crooks turn you away from all readers. There are more of us who are ethical, as I'd guess Tazzy is, than not. Personally, if I feel a client needs spiritual cleansing/clearing, more often than not, I give them instructions on how to do so for themselves. Even if I do such clearing for my client, I still inform on to how to do such for themselves. I've also given instruction on reading Tarot, pendulum, smudging, etc. & I hope to start giving instruction & attunements for Reiki before 2010! You won't find Mrs. Palm In The Window giving instruction on how to do what she does! I do have return clients, but they come to confirm what I've told them before &/or to inquire about another issue. Sometimes they ask about what we've spoken of before, which at times is really what they need. I just don't let them go in circles or waste their $$. Often times, the cards prevent this for me. Clients leave w/information they need. Some of them have become my friends, so they may come by just to visit! As for your question as to how to change the negative outcome of a reading into positive. This is something I tell clients during readings: Your future is not written in stone! Knowledge is power! Reach in there & pull out a fist full of light! Simply change what you're doing in relation to the issue addressed in the reading. This gives you the POSSIBILITY of changing the outcome. Sometimes tho, that outcome is simply something you must go thru in order to learn, grow, evolve -- life lessons. Ya can't stop 'em, & who'd want to anyway! 
(In a case like that, knowledge gained is still power. Forewarned is forearmed -- you won't be blindsided because you were made aware. Therefore you're prepared.) Do change all you can in attempt to change that outcome -- change attitude, approach, try & look at the whole issue thru completely different facets than ever before. Brainstorm it & think of all the ways you might change things in reasonable & positive ways. Hope this helps ya! Sorry I didn't find you earlier, as I see you posted your ? in Dec. 2008.
Brightest Blessings! Aradia GoldenDove
