What is a this or that tarot reading? A this-or-that tarot reading compares two options with one card each. Card A shows what choosing the first option brings; card B shows what the second brings. Compare their energy — supportive, difficult, mixed — and notice which card you hoped for. That reaction is part of your answer.
