My wife and I also throw the I Ching now and then, but not often,
usually no more than once or twice a year (usually on our birthdays),
in order to make the times we do more significant.  And I also like
the abstract language which invites introspection.  When I throw the I
Ching for others and then read them their fortune, I usually add some
of my own understanding of the meaning to the reading of the texts,
and in some ways I think being "sensitive" (I hesitate to use the word
"psychic") is supposed to be a part of the reading, adding specificity
or application to the abstractions of the text.

I also suspect that's how tarot works.
