Crafting the Perfect Questions
Questions are at the foundation of every tarot reading and crafting your questions is the most important part of any tarot reading.
But, sometimes we’re just not sure what we should be asking and that’s why you’ve landed on this page.
How to Ask Effective Tarot Questions
1. What type of questions work best for tarot readings?
Open-ended questions are ideal for tarot readings. Instead of asking "yes" or "no" questions, try asking "how" or "what" to invite deeper insights. For example, "How can I improve my relationship?" or "What can I focus on to enhance my career?" lead to more comprehensive guidance.
2. Can I ask specific questions about a situation or person?
Yes! Specific questions can help narrow the focus of your reading. If you're asking about a particular situation or person, try framing your question in a way that seeks clarity on how you can best approach or understand the situation, such as, "What should I know about my current work dynamic with [Person]?"
3. Is it okay to ask about the future?
Tarot can provide insights about potential outcomes, but it's important to remember that the future is not set in stone. Instead of asking, "Will I get the job?" consider asking, "What can I do to improve my chances of getting the job?" This shifts the focus from passive outcomes to empowering actions.
4. How do I ask questions about personal growth?
When asking about personal growth, focus on areas where you'd like to gain clarity or make improvements. Questions like, "What do I need to focus on for my personal development?" or "How can I better align with my life purpose?" are great starting points for self-reflection and growth.
5. Should I avoid any particular type of question?
It’s best to avoid overly vague or overly predictive questions. Questions like, "What is going to happen to me?" can be too broad, and questions that demand concrete predictions may not fully utilize the tarot’s guidance potential. Instead, aim for questions that empower you to take action and gain clarity.
