Try A Tarot Yes or No Reading For Quick Answers

What is a tarot Yes or No reading? And steps for how to do one.

A tarot Yes or No reading is a simple way to get an answer to a question without doing a full spread of cards. We explain how in this article.

What is a tarot Yes or No reading?

If you’re familiar with popular tarot readings like the 3-card spread, the Celtic Cross or the Zodiac Spread, you know these are fairly sophisticated readings requiring multiple cards. The tarot Yes or No is the simplest of tarot card readings, using a single card to answer a single question. It is the simplest interpretation of tarot, answering either “yes” or “no” to your question. Think of it like a Magic 8 Ball!

How to do a tarot Yes or No reading

A tarot Yes or No reading can be done in a few easy steps:

1. Shuffle your tarot deck how you like (we like to shuffle then cut, like a deck of playing cards), and concentrate on your question. (Note: you can use a standard tarot deck for this pull, or a specially designed “yes or no” tarot deck.)

2. Ask your question, and formulate it so that can be answered “yes” or “no.” Say it aloud if you like.

3. Draw one card from the deck. (Some readers may draw multiple cards to get a more detailed answer, but for a simple tarot Yes or No reading, one card is sufficient.)

4. Look up your card’s meaning to learn if the answer is “yes” or “no.” We have provided the answers to each tarot card’s Yes or No readings in our section with all tarot car meanings here.

5. Reflect on your answer, or pull an additional card for more insight (explained below).

Sample tarot Yes or No questions you could ask

Here are some sample tarot Yes or No questions you can ask. The possibilities are endless. You will definitely be able to think of your own questions but use these as a guide if you’re doing tarot Yes or No as a beginner.

– Will I get the job I applied for?
– Should I take the job I am offered?
– Is it a good time to buy a new car?
– Will I hear back from the person I’m interested in?
– Can I expect my financial situation to improve soon?
– Should I text (insert name) today?

Remember to ask specific, clear questions that can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no” ––unlike the Magic 8 ball, there are no vague responses in tarot Yes or No like “hazy, try again” or “concentrate and ask again.”

How to interpret your card in tarot Yes or No

Beyond learning the answer to Yes or No, you can interpret the card using its traditional meaning. Blend this with your intuition to add some color to your Yes or No draw.

Upright and reversed tarot Yes or No card pulls

If the card is upright, it’s generally considered a positive or affirmative answer (“yes”).

If the card is reversed, it may card indicate a negative or negative answer (“no”).

But remember that interpretation may vary depending on the reader and the context of the question. For example, is the meaning of the card giving you guidance or advice related to your question?

You may also draw additional cards for a more detailed answer or to clarify any ambiguity.

Keep an open mind and try not to expect a specific outcome or manipulate your results!
