Okay, so today I’m spilling the beans on my tarot card question journey. It’s been a ride, let me tell you!
First off, I started like everyone else, right? Grabbed a deck, felt all mysterious, and then… blank. Total blank. What do I even ASK these things?
I remember Googling like crazy. “Good tarot card questions” – I bet half of you have typed that in too! I found tons of lists, but honestly, most of them were kinda useless. Too vague, too “fortune cookie.” I needed something I could actually sink my teeth into.
So, I started experimenting. I realized the key was to be specific. Like, instead of asking “Will I be happy?”, which is just ridiculous, I’d ask “What steps can I take to feel more fulfilled in my current job?” See the difference? It’s actionable.
Then I messed around with question types. Relationship readings were my first big challenge. “Does he like me?” is garbage. Total garbage. What worked was asking stuff like “What are his core values, and how do they align with mine?” or “What can I do to improve communication in this relationship?” Way more insightful!
I also discovered the power of “Why?” questions. Not in a whiny way, but like, “Why am I feeling so stuck in this situation?” The cards often pointed to underlying beliefs or fears I wasn’t even aware of.
One thing I learned the hard way: avoid yes/no questions. Tarot isn’t a magic eight ball. If you have to ask one, follow it up with “Why yes?” or “Why no?” to get some actual context.
I kept a journal of my readings. Seriously, this is crucial. I’d write down the question, the cards I pulled, my initial interpretation, and then, a few weeks later, I’d go back and see how it all played out. This helped me refine my questions and understand how the cards “speak” to me.
Here’s a few examples of questions that I’ve found actually work:
- What is the biggest obstacle preventing me from achieving [specific goal]?
- What is the most important thing I need to know about [situation]?
- What action can I take to improve [area of life]?
- What am I not seeing clearly in this situation?
- What is the lesson I need to learn from this experience?
Honestly, the best advice I can give is to practice. Don’t be afraid to ask “stupid” questions. The more you do it, the better you’ll get at formulating insightful inquiries and interpreting the answers.
And remember, tarot isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about gaining clarity and guidance so you can make better choices in the present. Good luck, and happy reading!
