Asking a Better Question of the Tarot
The Tarot can provide you with answers, it is true. Does it seem as though the Tarot is leaving out information each time it is asked about something? Maybe consideration should be given to the question that is being asked. Instead of, “When will I find love again?” consider asking, “What can I do to help me find love again?” or “What can I do to maximize my efforts in romance?” These questions elaborate on the topic, love, in question and allow for the Tarot to best assist you in finding the answer. They also are more empowered questions and give the reading a more open feeling. These questions offer the seeker more control and more opportunity. If a question is posed correctly, the Tarot is an invaluable tool that will help to provide you with many options and answers.
The reason you want to ask your questions to the Tarot in this way is that the Tarot shows you many things. Often, the answer is not a simple yes or no. It is a “Yes, but ….” or “No, however ….”. Let the Tarot tell you what it will and allow this extra guidance to come together to form a more complete picture. The more complete the picture, the better! A well phrased Tarot question can make all the difference in the world; it can be your best aid when approaching the Tarot for accurate guidance. It is the difference between having a road map and having a route planned and highlighted by a global positioning system. Who does not want to save the extra time and headache? We all would like to have things as simple as possible!
It is important to remember that you not let your personal hopes and wishes influence the wording of the question. Consider wording the question to allow for the reverse side of the coin. This is because the general wording will be more permissive when the answer appears. It will not simply be, “No you will not get the house you want.” Instead, it will be, “The house you want is out of the budget or has significant problems. Choice B is clearly the better option in this case.” The first example effectively closed the door, and the second opened the window.
The frame of mind you have when you approach the Tarot can affect the wording as well. It is best to have a clear, and calm mind when considering the wording of any question. Any given frame of mind can truly influence the reading itself so that the cards seem stacked against you. Neutral language is always the best to use for any question. Be extremely objective in the selecting the words and phrasing for a Tarot question. Doing so will insure that you receive the clearest possible answer from the Tarot.
Selecting or rejecting the phrasing of your question for the Tarot is not a long and arduous process, nor is it meant to be one. This guide is meant to assist you in getting clear, precise, and accurate answers from the Tarot. The Tarot wants to help you in your quest for answers. If you are having difficulty choosing a good phrase, consider how you would word your question to a neutral party, like your accountant, or your attorney, and then ask the Tarot the way that you would that person.
Like a great friend, the Tarot can give you the hard truth because that is what you may be needing at this time regardless of the wording you selected. Do not be discouraged if this happens to you. It has happened to me quite a lot over the years! Good wording, however, helps to keep everything in perspective with regard to intuitive insight. Nothing is personal with the Tarot. The Tarot simply is, and will always be, an accurate guidance source.
Remember that elaborating on the question and including yourself in the wording allows the Tarot to better assist you with an answer. Personal hopes and wishes are fine to have, but set them aside and allow for all the possible outcomes of your question. Choosing neutral wording is also important when asking a question of the Tarot because this allows for the most objective and accurate answers from the Tarot. Do all of these things and you will get better, more accurate, guidance from the Tarot which will yield a strong and loyal relationship for you and leave you less frustrated as well. A win all the way around!
