How to Ask Better Questions in Your Tarot Reading

If you are doing a tarot reading for yourself or someone else, the questions you ask can make a difference in the answers you receive.

You don’t have to be a pro at reading tarot to ask better questions, but how you ask them can make a big difference.

Tarot is not about predicting the future. It is about looking at different possibilities, recognizing patterns, and offering guidance you can use in life.

The better the question, the more useful the insight.

Try to focus your question on yourself, not someone else. Instead of:

Will my ex come back? Try, What can I do to heal from this breakup and move forward?

Avoid yes and no questions. Tarot gives better answers to questions that start with how, what, or why.

Example

Wrong: Will I get the job?

Correct: What can I do to improve my chances of getting the right job?

You want enough detail to guide the reading, but not so much that you limit the possibilities.

Instead of: What will happen on my vacation next Tuesday at 5pm?

Try: What energy is surrounding my upcoming trip, and what should I be aware of?

• Too much focus on others actions
• Looking for a specific outcome
• Asking questions you don’t actually want the answer to
  
  

Here are some beginner friendly questions that can provide clarity

• What energy is supporting me right now?
• What should I let go of to move forward?
• What’s a hidden strength I can focus on this week?
• What lesson is this situation teaching me?
  
  

With a little practice, you will start to notice how the cards respond with more clarity, and usefulness.
