The Best Way To Ask Tarot Questions

The best tarot questions focus on what you can influence or change in a positive way.  Good tarot questions elicit responsibility and accountability on the part of the querent that get the querent involved in actively shaping his or her circumstances.  What NOT to ask a tarot reader are questions about:
 
Anything that deals with an ex’s feelings or actions—again, “free-will”, no one has control over the thoughts and actions of another, nor can we predict how he or she will or won’t react.  A question may be rephrased to indicate what the client's role is or what the client is contributing to...
 
Legal matters—Tarot readers are not lawyers.  Tarot is not about predictions and the best thing your client can do is seek legal assistance.  This could be asked as “What do I need to know about the proceedings of…?”
 
Love and marriage—any such questions need to be rephrased to:  “What do I need to know about… or Tell me about the potential of my relationship with…”  "When will so and so leave someone for me?"  It’s best ask as “What do I need to know about developing a relationship with…?"
 
Medical issues—if someone asks a medical question, the best thing a reader can do is refer the client to competent medical attention.  A tarot reading does NOT take the place of medical advice.
 
Should I this or that—this is asking a reader and the tarot to make a choice for the client.  Let’s try looking at this from another perspective; What can you expect if…?  or maybe look at pros and cons.
 
Third-parties—other people’s lives who aren’t with you at the reading.  This type of reading can often times be inaccurate because the reading says one thing and the absent person may do just the opposite or not what was indicated at all due to “free-will”.  The best thing in this case is to refoucs the question on the client and find out what the client needs to know about his or her involvement with...
 
Vagueness—there is the saying that you get what you put into something…The more you let your reader know, the better the tarot’s response is about zeroing in and being accurate.
 
Winning games of chance, aka the lottery—Tarot is not about fortune telling, so your best bet is to play the game and take your chances.
 
Tarot readings can be used as great points of references, and most of the above issues can be reframed as long as they are done in a positive way.  Work with your tarot reader to find creative ways to ask your questions so that you have a satisfying and accurate as possible reading experience.  

How to Rephrase a Question
Tarot at Your Fingertips  Rephrasing a Question
When a querent asks a question, remember that there are no stupid questions, and if needed, rephrase the question in an empowering way.  If someone asks a question about the future, you can tell them that you are not a fortune teller and that the future is not set in stone, that things change to do “free-will”.
 Will I ever…questions are better rephrased as, What do I need to …?
When a person asks if he or she will get a promotion, ask the question again as,What does the querent need to do to …?
Medical questions about pregnancy can be asked as, What is needed to be known about having a child now?  Make sure you refer your client to competent medical help, no matter what the outcome of the reading.
Will I… questions become, What do I need to…?
Should I questions rephrase well as, What do you need to know about…?
When the querent asks what an absent person thinks or feels about the querent, It’s a good time to explain your ethics concerning privacy.  Gently put the responsibility back on the querent as, What do you need to know about your relationship with…?
Yes/No questions need to be explained that nothing is set in stone, and rephrased, What do you need to know/do about…?
With all questions, regardless of the way the questions are presented, the reader needs to focus on the querent and the querent’s responsibilities.  No one question, no matter how it is phrased, can cover all issues related to that question.
