There are many people who considered Tarot cards to be all-knowing and depend on them when in reality, they can’t quite answer every one of life’s dilemmas. Learn which questions you shouldn’t ask the Tarot and better understand how to frame your questions.
Yes or No Questions
When you talk with Tarot card readers, it’s important to remember that although they can interpret what the cards reveal about your life, they are not usually mind readers. That means answering yes, or no questions is virtually impossible for a Tarot card reader.
To get the most out of a Tarot reading, avoid asking questions like, “Will I land that job?” Instead, pursue inquiries that give you much more information to go on, like “How will my career develop if I take that job?”
Death or Health Questions
Inquiries related to death or health tend to have very black-and-white answers. Asking whether a loved one will regain health and return home from the hospital, for example, won’t generally offer very much insight since you can’t do very much to affect the outcome of another’s health struggle.
Rather than asking about the outcome of health issues, try pursuing a line of questioning that will help you take ownership over the situation. For example, if you know your loved one is suffering, ask the Tarot how you can offer support in order to increase the chances of regaining health.
Specific Questions About Love
A love Tarot reading can tell you a lot about how to pursue the romantic relationships you want. That doesn’t mean a Tarot reader can accurately answer specific questions about certain events in your love life, though.
Keep in mind that the Tarot can’t guarantee an outcome for you. That means asking who will be first to say “I love you” or asking whether you’ll marry the love of your life will rarely be helpful. Instead, think about asking for advice on deepening your connection or making your relationship more meaningful.
Extremely Detailed Questions
Successful Tarot readings will help you think through obstacles in your life or develop ideas for working through ongoing problems. While they’ll get you on the right path, however, readings won’t offer detailed answers for each specific situation. When you have a Tarot reading, avoid disappointment by being open to exploring the information you receive. Know that the Tarot will offer guidance, but it can’t usually provide a detailed course of action.
Overly Vague Questions
When you have a Tarot reading, it’s a good idea to arrive with a few questions in mind. While they shouldn’t be extremely detailed, your inquiries shouldn’t be overly vague, either.
Talk with your Tarot card reader about areas you’d like to focus on and look for guidance on related topics. Keep in mind that particularly vague questions often result in similarly general answers, so they won’t be able to set your mind at ease.
Whether you frequently consult the Tarot or you’re preparing for your first reading, knowing what to expect is important. So keep these forbidden questions in mind, and know how to get the guidance you need. Keep in mind when asking the Tarot questions that the answers are based on your current path and actions. Nothing is set in stone and changing your approach can also change the answers.
The distinction the article makes between the different types of questions is quite helpful. I hadn’t considered how yes or no questions could be limiting in the context of Tarot readings.
The article offers insightful advice on how to frame questions for a Tarot reading. It’s clear that the effectiveness of the reading depends greatly on the type of questions asked.
I agree, Dawn. The emphasis on actionable and open-ended questions really sets the stage for a more meaningful reading.
While I’ve always seen Tarot as a form of spiritual guidance, this article underscores the importance of approaching the reading with a sense of personal responsibility.
The guidance on avoiding overly vague questions is crucial. It’s a good reminder that the clarity of your questions influences the usefulness of the Tarot’s answers.
I found the sections on health and love questions particularly enlightening. Knowing what to avoid asking can definitely help in setting realistic expectations for a Tarot reading.
