If you are someone who’s just a little bit like me, you probably already have issues coming up with more than one question to ask during a job interview, let alone finding good questions for something as significantly important as your tarot readings. When it comes to reading tarot cards, in order to get constructive answers it is important to ask the right type of questions that will actually help you move forward in life instead of slow you down. I personally found it hard to come up with good questions right on the spot during a tarot card reading, which would often result in an (unnecessary) loss of valuable energy. That’s why I decided to sit down and really take the time to compile an extensive list of questions to help as a source of inspiration for great questions to ask the tarot cards. I hope my list will make your readings flow a little bit more freely as well!

What are the best ways to ask questions in tarot readings? I hope that my list of 101 tarot questions has provided you with some useful inspiration and input for your own readings. In case you are looking to formulate some constructive questions by yourself as well, I will now dive in to the best methods and techniques to phrase effective questions for your tarot cards. The number one thing you should remember when trying to come up with good tarot questions is to keep your questions open ended. The best way to do this is to think of questions beginning with words like ‘what’, ‘where’, ‘how’ or ‘when’. You’ll find that starting of with these specific words will almost always result in a type of question that has enough depth in order to provide you with an insightful answer. The following infographic I’ve created will give some perfect examples of good and ‘bad’ type of tarot questions: Especially for a beginner, it is pretty important to understand what type of questions are best to ask your tarot cards, in order to ensure to get a good first experience. Asking the right questions from the start will form a big part of the foundation of your tarot reading future, so make sure you absolutely nail this. Of course, practice makes perfect, so don’t be too hard on yourself when you’re struggling to get it right the first time! Also, another important aspect to keep in mind when it comes to forming good tarot questions is that they need to have a pro-active approach. Instead of taking on a ‘victimized’ approach when formulating questions, try to ask the question in such a way that you will be able to actually influence a specific situation by yourself and not feel dependent on the outcome of a question. Taking a pro-active approach when it comes to forming tarot questions will provide you with way more positive energy and confidence than you’d probably expect. Tarot can be a great motivator throughout many aspects of your life, as long as you use it the correct way. What kind of questions should you avoid asking your tarot cards? Now that you know that the best type of questions to ask your tarot cards are open-ended questions, it is also crucial to know what type of questions you should be avoiding. The most important thing to keep in mind when thinking of great questions to ask your tarot cards is to avoid negativity. There is absolutely no extra value to asking questions that are negatively loaded and will most likely lead to a false outcome. Tarot should be used as a positive tool for self-exploration and development, not as a means to put you down in any kind of way. Also, as tempting as it may seem, asking simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ type of questions is something you should better try to avoid when you're doing a tarot reading. By asking for a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer, the cards aren't likely to provide you with a profound and in-depth answer as the room left for further interpretation of the card will most likely be too small. The true purpose of tarot is to show you parts of yourself that have remained unnoticed up until this point, so getting a plain ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as an answer won't always be the best way to help you further on your spiritual journey and can possibly confuse you even more as further details aren't always provided to you. Now, I totally understand that in real life, things don't always go as perfectly as planned! And I'm well aware the same goes for coming up with tarot questions. So, if you really can't resist the urge to ask your tarot card a 'yes or no' type of question from time to time, I did write this other article that explains the best approach to formulate a 'yes/no' question that will help lead you to the most reliable outcome and insights. Can You Ask Tarot Cards Questions About Someone Not Present? When it comes to formulating tarot questions, it is always best recommended to solely focus on questions regarding your own life. Of course, with some particular questions, other people will automatically come up in your reading as they will be very closely interwoven with certain situations. When other people do come up during your reading, try to keep in mind to make sure to always keep a respective manner. Don’t ask anything inappropriate and always have their best interest at heart. You don’t want to invade someone else’s privacy by asking personal questions about their life without their permission. On top of that, asking questions about someone else for your own personal purposes most likely won’t give you trustworthy results. The tarot cards will provide you with answers to your questions based on the energy you are putting in, so you’ll most probably will only get back information based on your own thoughts and feelings. So, to conclude, it is best advised to not ask questions about someone that isn’t present throughout your reading.
