Learning to read cards for others

[LJcrow]

I've been learning to read oracle cards for myself and would like to read cards for others but am not sure how that should happen. Lets say a person sits across from me and picks their card, do I read it as I would read it for myself or do I turn it to orientate as if they were picking it? Should they sit beside me? I usually spread the cards for myself so should I turn the deck and spread it out for someone across from me?

Everyone has their own preference, for me I have the cards orientated for me as I'm the one interpreting them.
As for where the sitter should sit, I prefer them to sit facing me (a personal space thing) but have read with people sat beside me.

I do most readings online so cards face me but even face to face ones I 'read' the card facing me. Not really thought to do it the other way. To be fair, the cards (oracle not tarot) are used only as a prompt - I look at the symbols that show themselves to me but let my clairvoyance take over.
