SEED_DATA
The person for whom a tarot reading is being performed.
From the Latin 'quaerens' (one who seeks). The querent is the subject of the reading — the person whose question or situation the cards address. In a dialectical reading, the distinction between reader and querent blurs as both parties explore the cards' meanings together.
Significance
In a dialectical approach, the querent is not a passive recipient of interpretation but an active participant in constructing meaning from the cards.
