What to Ask the Tarot

So you want a Tarot reading but you don’t know what to ask.

You can ask the Tarot anything. Pulling Tarot cards often reveals highly personal information about yourself. Please know that my readings come from a safe place of non-judgement and I’m truly here as a messenger/interpreter.

If there is something weighing on your mind you can do a reading based on likely outcomes of any action you could possibly take. I recently did a 3 spread pull for someone who was just considering a person she misses in her life. She wanted to know what the relationship looked like. So, I focused on the results of the outcomes of her acting upon her feelings or letting the feelings go. She had a very positive reaction to the reading. She felt like she understood her feelings and the entire situation more.

To get a good reading that resonates deep down is to get to the heart of the question. The querent (continuing the example from above) asked what the relationship looked like. I could have done a 3 card pull and discovered: oh this is what you felt in the past, what you feel right now, and what you could feel in the future. But I did 3 past cards, 3 present cards, and 3 future cards, each with a clarifier on each line. I also did a spread for 2 scenarios of what would happen if she did A or B. I tried to find the heart of the situation. I broke it down to get the most information that I could. This reading took over an hour to do and transcribe into the pdf document with photos. I tell you this because I strive for the most clarity for my clients.

The Tarot can’t answer yes or no questions. Some Tarot readers have come up with spreads that allow a yes/no, but I want more from the Tarot reading, I don’t want just a simple yes/no, I want the heart of the query.

Instead of asking something like, “will I win the lottery,” try instead: “what can I do to improve my finances?"

Instead of asking, “will I get the promotion,” try instead: “how can I advance in my career?”

Instead of asking, “will I get the new job,” try instead: “what is blocking me from moving on in my career?”

Instead of asking, “when will I meet my soulmate/what’s my soulmate like,” try instead, “what are some things I can improve on now to prepare me for meeting my soulmate?”

The common thread here is the word Will. Find the question that goes beyond will.

Other questions I like to explore begin with:

What might I experience if….
What do I need to know about….

Once you’ve figured out the heart of the question, expect a conversation or multiple perspectives. When I pull cards, I usually have questions based on what I see and I include those in the email. The questions aren’t for you to answer for me, but just for you to ask yourself regarding the situation.

The best part, for you as the querent, of the Tarot reading is the reflection. The part that comes After you’ve read through what my interpretation may be. Let the message sink in. Then, look at the cards in the photos attached to the email. Take note of anything that jumps out at you, that triggers a memory or reminds you of that time when…. Feel free to email me with this information because it could unlock an incredible piece of the puzzle. I’m not a psychic! But I can interpret the conversation with the cards for you and we can go even further if you notice something that is important to you in the cards that I may not be aware of its connection to you.
