How to phrase a question the deck can answer

Tarot gives better answers to better questions. Three rules:

  1. Ask about yourself. Not your partner, not your boss. "How do I…" beats "Will they…" every time.
  2. Open-ended beats yes/no. Replace "Will I get the job?" with "What do I need to know about this job application?"
  3. Keep it single-thread. One question per spread. Compound questions give compound muddles.

Weak: "Will he text me back?" Strong: "What's driving the silence in this situation, and how do I hold myself while I wait?"

You'll feel the difference in the clarity of the reading.
