Questions to Ask your Tarot Cards
If you're feeling a bit lost on what questions to ask your Tarot cards, don’t fret!
Here’s a simple method to help you uncover the insights you seek.
Finding Your Way to the Right Tarot Questions
Setting your intentions.
Begin by taking a moment to breathe and center yourself. First think about the areas of your life which need some clarity. This might be love, career, health, or personal growth.
Once you have your area of focus, consider the best way to construct your question.
While there are no right or wrong questions to ask, it’s often better to phrase things in a more open-ended way. For example, instead of asking “Does John love me?” ask “What do I need to know about my relationship with John?” Instead of “Will I ever find a job?” ask “What can I do to improve my chances of finding a job?”
The Tarot cards are loaded with wisdom and insight that is encoded in the symbolic imagery, and embedded into the card meanings, just waiting to be discovered. The secret of the Tarot, is that this wisdom actually resides deep with your own being, and whether you are receiving a reading from an experienced reader, or exploring the cards yourself, the Tarot is simply a tool to help you uncover it. While asking a simple “yes” or “no” question is a fun and interesting way to play with Tarot, it leaves little room for these deeper insights to emerge within a reading.
Things to Consider:
What do I want to attract into my life? Good Fortune? Love?
What area of my life feels incomplete or unsettled?
What questions arise that need answers right now?
What are your current intentions or goals? Remember, there is no wrong question to ask the cards. What you are doing is tapping into your own personal guidance to find the answers that your soul understands, but may be blocked by your thinking mind due to conditioning, trauma and old patterns that are no longer be serving your highest good.
When you have your Question in Mind:
Start by drawing only one card and focus on the messages that are coming through it.
After processing these insights, you may still feel unclear. Draw another card for clarity if this feels right. If a new or related question comes to mind, draw another card on that topic to clarify further. Have a conversation with the cards and see where it leads. Consider if the answer lies in the combination of cards you have drawn.
Visualisation can help.
Picture yourself standing at a crossroads in life. Visualize the various paths you could take. This visualization can help to crystallize what you're truly pondering. Draw your card and consider which path the card is leading you towards.
Write It down, journalling can help.
Grab a piece of paper and jot down your thoughts. Start with broader topics, like "Love" or "Work," then narrow them down to more specific concerns. For example, instead of just "Love," you might write, "What do I need to know about my romantic life right now?" or "What things do I need to release in order to move forward in my relationship?”
Ask Open-Ended Questions
The best questions are often open-ended. Instead of asking yes/no questions, consider phrasing them to invite deeper insights. For instance, "What guidance can I receive about my career path?" or "How can I improve my relationships?"
Trust Your Intuition.
As you brainstorm, pay attention to any recurring themes or feelings that pop up. Trust your instincts! If a particular question pulls at your heartstrings, that’s a sign it’s worth exploring.
Prioritize Your Questions.
After you’ve listed your questions, pick the top three that feel the most pressing. Remember, effective readings can thrive on quality over quantity!
With these method in hand, you can confidently explore the insights offered by the Tarot.
