Alright, let’s talk about figuring out what questions to actually ask a tarot reader. It’s not always straightforward, you know? I learned this the hard way, like most things.
A while back, things felt really messy. Like, stuck-in-mud messy. Work was frustrating, relationship stuff was confusing, the whole nine yards. I kept thinking I needed clear answers, like a roadmap handed to me. Someone mentioned tarot, and I thought, “Okay, maybe that’s it. I’ll just go ask if I should quit my job, or if this relationship is gonna work out.” Simple, right?
So, I started prepping in my head. My first list of questions was basically just demands for the future:
- Will I get promoted this year?
- Is my partner the ‘one’?
- Should I move to a different city?
- Will I make more money soon?
Just a bunch of yes/no stuff. I wanted fortune-telling, plain and simple. I almost booked a session right then.
But then I paused. Something felt… off. I remembered reading somewhere, or maybe someone told me once, that tarot isn’t really about predicting the future like a crystal ball. It’s supposed to be more about insight, guidance, seeing things from a different angle. Asking those demanding “yes/no” questions suddenly felt like trying to force the cards to give me answers they weren’t designed for. It felt like I was closing doors instead of opening them.
Shifting My Thinking
So, I sat back down. Threw out that first list. This was the turning point, really. I started thinking about what I really wanted to understand, not just what I wanted to happen.
Instead of “Will I get promoted?”, I started thinking, “What can I focus on to improve my career path?” or “What challenges am I not seeing at work?”. See the difference? It puts the power back in my hands, kinda.
Instead of “Is he the one?”, I thought, “What do I need to understand about my role in this relationship right now?” or “How can I foster better communication with my partner?”. It became about me and my actions, not just waiting for fate.
It took some scribbling and scratching out. My new questions looked more like this:
- What energy or approach would serve me best regarding my current job situation?
- What perspective am I missing when it comes to my relationship?
- What do I need to know about the possibility of moving? What should I consider?
- What inner resources can I tap into to improve my financial situation?
The Realization
Honestly, just going through this process of rethinking the questions was helpful before I even talked to a reader. It made me dig deeper into what was actually bothering me underneath the surface questions. It wasn’t just about wanting a promotion; it was about feeling stagnant. It wasn’t just about “the one”; it was about understanding connection and my part in it.
When I eventually did get a reading (yeah, I went!), having these open-ended, guidance-focused questions made the whole experience way more useful. It wasn’t about being told the future; it was about getting insights I could actually work with. The reader wasn’t a fortune teller, more like someone holding up a mirror from a different angle.
So yeah, my big takeaway? Spend time figuring out your questions. Don’t just ask for predictions. Ask for guidance, clarity, what you can do, what you need to understand. The process of finding the right question is sometimes half the battle, gets you thinking in the right direction already. That’s been my experience, anyway.
