How to do a yes or no Tarot Card Reading?

A YES or no Tarot Card reading renders a predicted answer to a question you have at the start of the reading.

It's a simple, straightforward help for those seeking guidance in moments of concern.

What is a yes or no Tarot Card Reading?

In ambiguous circumstances, a yes or no Tarot Card reading can provide clarity.

It provides answers to straightforward yes or no questions you may have.

To perform a yes or no-style Tarot card reading, one must simply have a deck of tarot cards and an open mind.

Yes or no readings are recommended for a nightly routine, answering a log of questions you may have about life or your future.

These readings can dispel anxiety and be restorative for a person who is having trouble in their personal or work life.

"The tarot card drawn gives clues and hints helping illuminate actions you can take in regards to your question as well as new ways of thinking about the issue at hand," Tell My Tarot explains.

"The reading brings thoughts lodged deep within to the surface, allowing them to reintegrate into the world at large where they can lighten up and re-energize you."

How to do a yes or no Tarot Card Reading?

To begin your tarot reading, you will need a tarot deck and possibly a journal if you choose to write down your question and record your answer.

Before choosing your card, bring a yes or no question into your mind, or write it down on a piece of paper.

There are 78 cards in every tarot deck, and each one is tied to either a yes, no or maybe answer.

Use your non-dominant hand to select the card, as many spiritual advisors say it's more likely to be moved by the Universe, God, or whomever it is from that you seek guidance.

Once you choose your card by touching it, you will flip it over.

Now study it; investigate the numbers on it, the emotions on the faces of the characters, and look for any symbols.

How does the card make you feel?

Does it pull your gut in a negative way?

If so, then the answer is probably no.

Does it spark joy or positivity within you?

Then the answer is probably yes.

If you feel neutral about a card, it can mean that it's a maybe, or that you should pull another card.

There are also answers assigned to each Tarot card that are likely listed in the booklet of explanations given to you with your cards, but we recommend following your gut when it comes to reading yes or no questions.

It's also important to remember that Tarot cards only guide you based on your current circumstances; if you change any small factor in your life, then a yes could become a no or vice versa.

What religion do tarot cards come from?

The oldest surviving set of tarot cards dates back to 14th century Italy and was created for the Duke of Milan's family around 1440.

While many associate the cards with ancient Egypt, the Kabbalah, or Indian Tantra, scholarly research has suggested that there is no historical evidence the cards were used in a certain religion but shared by all of the "religio-spiritual traditions."

The cards are often used to gain insight into one's life during uncertain times, much like different religions look towards a god for guidance.

Jenna Cargle sat down with Religion News Service in April 2021 to talk about the use of tarot cards in her Catholic home.

“I got comfortable with myself, Catholicism and spirituality. … I was no longer afraid to touch a tarot deck,” Cargle told the media outlet after explaining that her mother, a Catholic, had first introduced her to them.

Cargle later went on to reveal that while she doesn't identify as religious now, she uses tarot as a tool.

“I’m a strong believer that everything happens for a reason and that there is a set path for everyone. But there are different (possible) endings," Cargle explained, adding that tarot helps predict the possible endings.
