In this article you'll read about the kind of questions you can ask for a tarot reading. Also attentiveness is paid to when it is best to do a tarot reading.
Types of questions for a tarot reading
In principle you can ask any ethical inquire to tarot as long as you are the field of the question. But some types of questions don't receive a clear and helpful answer. You must know that tarot never gives a yes/no, good/bad, black/white... Answer. Tarot describes a situation. It tells a kind of story. Also tarot doesn't take decisions for you. It doesn't say what you must do. It's your accountability to take catalogue of the advice, tarot gave you, or not. Another point of attentiveness is that tarot never gives you an confident outcome. During a tarot reading using confident spreads, tarot gives an outcome of a situation. But this is an outcome on health that nothing is changed to the gift circumstances. It's up to you to convert the circumstances if you don't like the outcome. In my caress this are the most frequent asked types of questions for a tarot reading:
- Questions about the evolution of something This is the kind of inquire you ask when you want to know what the outcome will be from a confident situation. In general tarot gives a clear and helpful retort for this type of question. You mostly will also get an indication of where there are possible difficulties.
- Questions that ask for the article of a situation When population want to know more about the background of a confident situation. This is often the case for introspective questions.
- Question about the Personality Example: "I have problems for transportation with other people. Could you tell me about the background of these problems?"
- Questions that ask for an advice of tarot Example: "How should I convert myself to give a new start to my relation?"
The above types of questions are all distinguished for a good tarot reading. But often population also ask questions that are not so well suited. This are the types of questions that ask for a black/white retort from tarot. Or that ask tarot to take a decision for them. Here are some examples:
- Yes/No questions Example: "Will I have a relation with the boy I met last week?"
- Questions that ask tarot to take a decision Example: "Where should I go During the holidays: France or Spain?"
- Questions about time Example: "When will I find a new house?". Tarot will never give a literal, timing on any subject. Tarot is about descriptions.
Mary K. Greer describes a yes/no spread in her phenomenal book "Tarot For Yourself". I never experimented with it. I think that you miss a lot of the possibilities of tarot with that kind of questions anyway. But if I ever would try it, this would be the spread that I use. By the way, the outcome of that spread can be neutral. Of course, population sometimes ask duplicate questions that belong to some types. For example: "Is my love relation solid and how will it evolve?". This is a blend about the situation of a love relation and about the evolution of that same relation. A inquire should always be linked to yourself. Never ask something about somebody else, like: "How is the relation in the middle of my boss and his wife?". You never would get an retort from a tarot reading for a inquire like this. And it is very unethical. A tarot reading is also not suitable for pure "materialistic" questions. You should not expect that tarot will give you the winning lotto numbers or tell you where the treasure of the Inca's is hidden. This doesn't mean that you can't ask about material things. If the object is linked to you, then you might get an retort from Tarot. For instance "Where will I find a new house?" would not be a good question. But "What is the meaning of a new house for me" could very well be considered.
When to ask for a tarot reading
The retort on this inquire is very simple: when you truly feel the need for it. Don't let you work on by anybody. And indubitably not by an unscrupulous tarot reader. Only listen to your inner voice. Another inquire is: "How long should I wait in the middle of two tarot readings?". In this case you can use the following tips:
- In the very first place: listen to your inner voice. This overrules anything else.
- Some spreads, used in a tarot reading, give you a kind of intermediate outcome. When you have reached that point, you could ask for a follow up reading. But be aware that, if you have changed anything to the initial circumstances, that outcome never might be realized.
- It's not a good idea to ask for a new tarot reading, on the same subject, too fast. You must give yourself the time to deal with the first reading. Don't rush it. You are not a machine. Myself I think you should at least wait 1 month, even 2 months, in the middle of two tarot readings on the same subject.
