Yes or No Messages in Tarot Card Readings

Tarot readings are often sought for guidance, & one of the most common types of questions asked is whether a particular situation will result in a "yes" or a "no" answer. Tarot cards are known to provide powerful & insightful answers to such questions, but how?

The primary way tarot cards deliver yes or no messages is in the energy of the cards themselves. Each card has a unique energy, frequency, & symbolism, & when combined in a reading, they can provide a clear answer to the question at hand.

However, it's important to remember that the tarot is not a magic eight-ball that will provide simple answers without any context or nuance. Tarot readings are meant to provide guidance & insights into a particular situation, & while yes or no answers can be helpful, they should be viewed within the larger context of the reading.

Optimal Questions in Tarot Card Readings

To get the most out of a tarot reading, it's important to ask the right questions (see my blog post on asking the best types of questions here). Yes or no questions can be helpful, but they should be specific and focused on a particular situation.

For example, instead of asking, "Will I be successful in life?" a more focused and specific question would be, "Will my current career path lead to success?" The more specific the question, the clearer and more insightful the answer is likely to be.

It's also important to approach tarot readings with an open mind and heart. Tarot cards are not a crystal ball or fortune-telling device, but rather a tool for guidance and self-reflection. By being open to the messages and insights they provide, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the situations you are facing.

Interpreting Yes or No Answers

Once you've asked a specific yes or no question and drawn the tarot cards, it's time to interpret the answer. There are several techniques that tarot readers use to interpret yes or no answers, and each reader may have their own unique approach.

One common method is to look at the symbolism and energy of the cards themselves. Some cards, such as The Sun or The World, are often associated with positive and affirmative answers, while others, such as The Tower or The Devil, may indicate a negative or challenging outcome.

Another approach is to look at the placement and combination of the cards within the reading. For example, if a particularly positive card is drawn in the "outcome" position of the reading, it may indicate a yes answer. On the other hand, if several challenging cards are drawn in the same spread, it may indicate a no answer.

Ultimately, the interpretation of yes or no answers in tarot readings relies on the intuition and expertise of the reader. By trusting your own intuition and knowledge of the cards, you can gain valuable insights and guidance from your tarot readings.

Ideal Tarot Card Spreads for Yes or No Questions

While yes or no questions can be answered in a variety of tarot card spreads, there are several spreads that are particularly well-suited for these types of questions. Here are three spreads that tarot readers often use to answer yes or no questions:

1. The Three-Card Spread: This is a simple and straightforward spread that uses three cards to answer a yes or no question. The first card represents the past, the second represents the present, and the third represents the future or outcome. If the majority of the cards are upright, the answer is yes, while if the majority are reversed, the answer is no.

2. The Cross Spread: This spread uses five cards to answer a yes or no question. The first card represents the situation, the second represents the obstacle or challenge, the third represents the advice or guidance, the fourth represents the outcome, and the fifth represents the answer to the yes or no question.

3. The Celtic Cross Spread: (see my step-by-step guide to learning and interpreting the Celtic Cross spread here). This is a more complex spread that uses ten cards to answer a variety of questions, including yes or no questions. The first card represents the situation, the second represents the obstacle or challenge, the third represents the subconscious, the fourth represents the recent past, the fifth represents the conscious, the sixth represents the near future, the seventh represents the self, the eighth represents the external forces, the ninth represents the hopes and fears, and the tenth represents the outcome.

Conclusion

Decoding the yes or no messages of tarot cards can be an incredibly valuable tool for gaining insights and guidance in a variety of situations. By asking specific questions and interpreting the energy and symbolism of the cards, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the situations you are facing.

Remember to approach tarot readings with an open mind and heart, and trust your intuition and expertise as a reader.
