Asking Questions with Tarot

      When will I get married? Am I going to get the job? Is the sky falling or is that the sound of my ego asking all the wrong questions?

     It can feel so frustrating to ask a question, pull some cards, and feel like the answer is nowhere to be seen, irrelevant, or not at all what you were hoping for.

    A common misconception around Tarot is that it provides all the answers all the time.

Totally not the case.

Tarot is a tool for guidance, reflection, and acts as a gateway to accessing your intuition.

Asking questions is a skill that not enough people spend time learning. Besides learning the story behind the cards, learning to ask the right questions is going to be a game changer in any person’s readings.

Let’s go over some tips and tricks around asking questions so that you’ll feel like your Tarot readings are actually useful and not black holes of confusing information:

–Avoid yes/no questions as much as possible. The cards are layered and have variable meanings and don’t work super well to provide a simple yes/no. That said, if you ask a question, like, “Am I going to be happy in this new job?”, you would want to look for the depth in the answer, not just a yes or no.

–Explore the energy of a situation instead of asking a specific question about it.

-Focus on you or the person you are reading for. I love to explain energy as strings or spiderwebs. The more you send out, the more you have to keep track of! Focus on ONE energetic thing. You, a situation, an environment…focus!

-Get to the root of the problem with your question. Before you pull the cards or start thinking about what to read on, spend some time really getting to the root of the problem. Or, consider pulling cards on that very thing! Being clear and drilling down to the thing that is really at the foundation of your question is always going to be a great way to get into a reading.

So, pull out those cards, ask some great questions, and get excited when the giant lightbulb of intuition shines bright and then skip off all well-informed and ready to go.
