My experience and ask for advice

Hey Group!
I've been putting Tarot on and off for a while, mostly off though. So today, I felt really like clear and decided to pull some cards.
I've always considered the cards to "lie" to me, or I just couldn't understand them the way I needed to. I did a reading today (just pulled 3 cards) on what future will bring, got some general info, nothing in particular.
Then I chose to pull a card about myself... I just thought I'll pull a card and see who am I really. I shuffeled the deck and out came Queen of Cups -- I did a research about that card and felt that it was everything I am... though not male, but I am cancerian and I have all of the traits.
I did a reading, now using a little bit more complex spread to get all the energies into place too. At first I didn't understand a thing and discarded it quick. I went to do a little research again and voila the cards then seemed to make sense.
I then thought to pull a card again.. about myself just like to be fool-proof and then came the chariot -- WHOOHOO! I knew that it was all random blubish.. then I again did some research and found that it corresponds to the card I got about myself earlier.. So now I see some of the mistakes I did.
1) Not enough research
2) Taking few "divinatory" meanings and then discarding them
3) Not being open enough.
I see that with Tarot you really have to be open.. if it doesn't fit you, then discard it doesn't work. It makes you really analyze it.
What could you recommend me to do for further practise?
