TAROT READING: HOW TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION

Did you receive a disappointing Tarot reading? Did you feel that your question was not answered? Did you leave the Tarot reading session with more questions than answers?

The one thing that separates a good reading from a bad one is the question you ask. Some readers will point you in the right direction and rephrase your question. Some others, out of fear of losing you as a client, will simply answer the question you asked without further elaboration.

So what makes a question powerful enough to give you clarity and a solution to the issue you are facing?

The answer is simple: The reading is about you so the question should revolve around you only.

Let me give you an example. Let’s say that you have suspicions about your romantic partner’s faithfulness. If your question sounds something like this “Is he cheating?” or “Is she seeing someone else while dating me?”, then your Tarot reader will connect with the energies of your partner but not necessarily yours.

How does that affect the reading? Well, first of all, you will receive an answer that might be similar to this “Yes, he is cheating” or “She is not seeing anyone else. You guys look happy.” There are going to be a couple more details about the topic but that is all you will get.

Technically, you pay for a “Yes” or “No” answer that will give you little information about the topic. Not only that, but you also ask for information about someone else’s life which makes them the focus of the reading rather than you.

Additionally, keep in mind that you cannot change another person’s actions. If they have already made a decision or follow a specific lifestyle, you can either watch, participate or leave. The only things you are responsible for are your actions and decisions.

It might be tempting to ask third-party questions, but please take a moment and focus on yourself. What is the main reason you want to receive a Tarot reading? What is the real burning question behind it?

So let’s go back to the example about the potential unfaithful partner. If you want to know “Is he talking to his ex behind my back?”, your worries and fears could be related to the following:

You are afraid he is going to leave you for someone else.
You are not good enough.
You are going to be single again and you do not want to deal with the dating scene.
You are comfortable with your connection to him and perhaps you even took him for granted.
You have been with him for a long time and you do not want to give up on your relationship.

Now that you have uncovered some potential truths behind your initial question, these are some example questions you should ask your reader:

Where my relationship with X is going?
What does my love life look like now and in the future?
How can I improve my relationship with X?

Taking this example into consideration, you can apply the same method to topics around work, finances, family, friends, life decisions, and so on.

By asking your reader open-ended questions, you will receive a lot of valuable information and advice on how to move forward.

Optimally, you will have some homework to do after your reading is complete. Not only will you feel empowered but you will also have some great tools in your hands to help you make the right decision.

But what if you still cannot properly ask the right question? What if you feel that something is blocking you from doing so?

Here are 2 tips on how to prepare yourself before you have a conversation with your Tarot reader:

1. Do not ask to receive a reading when your negative emotions prevail.

There is nothing wrong with feeling hurt, angry, sad, you name it. Before healing, these emotions need to be expressed and then released. But if you contact your Tarot reader when you are emotionally unstable and mentally challenged during a tough time, you will not have the clarity you need to hear everything they will have to say.

You might feel that the reader is trying to suggest something you do not like. You might want to hear something specific and you are not ready to hear what they have to say.

The worst of all is feeling more frustrated at the end of the reading with a pile of new questions. Not only that, but you might seek another reader’s advice or ask the same question again within the same month. This will add to the annoyance and disappointment.

Here is what to do instead.

2. Meditate on your question.

Create a sacred space in your home if you do not have one already. Light up your favorite incense or a scented candle. Keep in mind the topic you want to ask during your Tarot reading but do not form a question yet. Once you close your eyes, take one deep breath and then exhale. This will immediately relax your body and mind.

Observe any thoughts and emotions around your problem. At this time, perhaps you might hear a question or a piece of advice. This is your inner voice, so make sure that you trust it.

When you open your eyes, you will feel that clarity of mind. Take your physical journal or online one and write down your thoughts. Take some time to self-reflect and allow the question to flow.

Even if you do not have the answer right away, give it a day and meditate again. As far as you keep in mind that the question should come from a place of self-care and self-love, you will receive exactly what you need.
