Formulating Your Own Questions For Tarot Readings

Step 1: Understand the Purpose of the Question

Tarot is a tool that's used to gain insight and clarity on various aspects of life. The purpose of your question should ideally be to gain a deeper understanding of a situation, or to explore possible paths and outcomes. Avoid questions that are trivial or not genuine, as they're unlikely to provide meaningful responses.

Step 2: Frame Open-Ended Questions

Open-ended questions encourage a more comprehensive and insightful response. They often begin with "how," "what," "why," or "where." For instance, instead of asking "When will I meet my soulmate?" you could ask "What can I do to prepare myself for the arrival of my soulmate?"

Step 3: Focus on Yourself

Your questions should be about you and your journey, not about other people's thoughts, feelings, or actions. Instead of asking "Does he love me?", you could ask "What can I do to enhance my love life?" or "How can I better communicate my feelings?"

Step 4: Be Specific but Flexible

Be clear about what you want to know, but avoid overly detailed or complex questions. Remember that the Tarot doesn’t provide specific times, dates, names, or places. A question like "What should I focus on for personal growth?" is better than "Should I read this specific book to improve my life?"

Step 5: Formulate Positive Questions

Frame your question in a positive way. Instead of asking "Why do I always fail?" ask "What can I learn from my past experiences to succeed in the future?" or "How can I improve my approach to achieving my goals?"

Step 6: Be Open to the Answers

Even with the perfect question, the key to a good tarot reading is your willingness to accept the insights and messages that come through, even if they're not what you were expecting or hoping for.
