How to Ask Better Questions in Your Tarot Reading (And Get Real Answers)
Why Do the Questions Matter in a Tarot Reading?
Because the quality of the question shapes the depth of the answer.
A tarot reading isn’t just about pulling cards — it’s a conversation between your energy and the imagery. Vague, closed, or fear-based questions limit what the cards can show you.
Clear, open-ended questions invite clarity, depth, and truth.
What Makes a Question “Better”?
Better questions:
-
Start with What, How, or Why
-
Focus on clarity, not control
-
Invite insight instead of demanding prediction
Examples:
-
What energy is surrounding this situation?
-
How can I support myself through this transition?
-
Why do I keep repeating this pattern?
Compare that to:
-
Will he come back?
-
Should I quit my job?
See the difference? One opens a doorway. The other shuts it.
What If I’m Not Sure What to Ask?
Start with how you feel. Then turn that into a question.
Feeling stuck? → What’s blocking my movement right now?
Feeling anxious? → What fear needs my attention?
Feeling ready? → What next step aligns with my growth?
Let your emotional truth guide your inquiry.
Can I Still Get a Good Reading Without a Question?
Yes — especially if you’re feeling lost or unsure. You can simply say, “I’d like a general reading on what I need to know right now.”
The cards will still speak — and often show exactly what’s most present in your field.

How a Tarot Reading Can Help You Make Decisions
Can Tarot Really Help Me Make a Decision?
Yes — but not by telling you what to do.
A tarot reading won’t say “Take the job” or “Leave the relationship.” Instead, it shows you:
-
What’s influencing you
-
What fears or desires are present
-
What energy surrounds each option
-
What you’re not seeing clearly
The goal isn’t control — it’s clarity.
Why Is It So Hard to Decide?
Because decisions are rarely just logical.
They’re emotional. Energetic. Tied to identity and fear. Sometimes you're not choosing between Option A and B — you're choosing between comfort and growth, fear and freedom.
Tarot helps you name the real decision behind the surface one.
What Kinds of Questions Can I Ask?
Instead of asking:
Should I do this or not?
Try:
-
What is the energy surrounding this opportunity?
-
What lesson is present in this decision?
-
What will I learn if I choose this path?
-
What am I avoiding in making this choice?
These open questions give the cards space to speak honestly.
What Will the Cards Show?
The cards reflect what’s already happening inside you — your resistance, your longing, your truth. A good reading won’t push you. It will help you recognize the path you already feel but haven’t fully claimed.
Sometimes, you’ll hear what you already knew. That’s confirmation. And that’s powerful.
