reading for others

i haven't seen this discussed before in particular and when got asked by a friend to do a reading for her a while ago, i started to wonder about others experiences. i shared with her my fascination with the book and she asked for help, thus i suggested she casts the hexagrams and give me the result while i can help with the interpretation. she enjoyed how poetic it felt but i found it all of a sudden really difficult, not only lost in translation of the languages, but also the symbolism and meaning, usually so close and familiar were all of a sudden diluted in myriad of possible answers :confused:

i found these posts really helpful in gathering myself:
Why reading for others can be hard
Using Yi to help others
What do you give, when you give a reading?
Who should cast the hexagram?

but i'm actually more curious about what sets one on the path of divination, especially when doing it for someone else, friends or family? and maybe even more so, the path of making it part of one's income?
on a side note, how come "tarot readers" sounds like a profession, while I Ching readers sounds... well, like I Ching readers :bag:

could you share your experiences? did people somehow come to you or did you reach out to them? did you see yourself doing readings for others before it happened, or did it just evolve naturally? if so, how did it happen or evolve, what were and what are your thoughts and feelings about it? would love to hear your stories :)
