Quick Tips
To get the best reading from the Tarot, we've listed some quick tips to help you.
-
Keep questions specific and open-ended. See below for some examples of good questions.
-
A question that will encourage answers that give direction and advice will almost always be a good question.
-
Focus on things that are directly related to your life - and not to spy on other people!
-
Avoid questions that can be answered with a “yes” or “no”. The Tarot rarely, if ever, outrightly responds in this way.
-
Do not ask questions that you do not want the answer to.
-
If you are having another reading with us, avoid asking the same question again in a slightly different way.
​
-
Medical, legal, or similar questions are better addressed by a qualified professional.
