How should I phrase a question for an online tarot reading? Ask one open question about your own life that starts with 'what' or 'how': 'What do I need to know about this job?' works better than 'Will I get the job?'. Keep it specific, present-focused and about your choices rather than other people's.
Better Questions
| Instead of | Try |
|---|---|
| Will he come back? | What do I need to understand about this relationship? |
| Will I be rich? | How can I improve my finances this year? |
| Should I quit? (yes/no) | What happens if I stay, and if I leave? |
Match Question and Spread
One question → One card; a choice → This or that; a situation → Situation · action · outcome or Past · present · future.
Avoid
- Medical, legal and financial-investment questions.
- Questions about other people's private lives.
- Asking the same question again straight away.
Question Starters
- What do I need to know about…?
- How can I improve…?
- What is blocking me from…?
- What happens if I choose…?
- What is the lesson in…?
Yes/No Questions
You can ask yes/no questions — a single card leans yes, no or maybe — but you'll learn more by asking 'what' or 'how'. If you do ask yes/no, add 'and why?' when you read the card.
