Tarot for Love: Yes/No Answers

Tarot is renowned for giving in-depth advice for relationship issues. But what if you simply want a quick answer? What if your issue can be reduced to a yes or a no? Well, tarot cards are good for that too. Unsurprisingly, I like to call it yes/no tarot.

Having read the cards for so many years, I have developed my own instinctive system for questions that require an yes/no answer. It varies though—a card that says ‘yes’ for a question about finances may not be a ‘yes’ for a question about love.

Yes/no tarot readings require a single card. And that answer has to be accepted. You can’t keep drawing cards until you get one that gives you the answer you’d like. Believe me, I’ve done that too. Also bear in mind that some cards are non-committal; they may suggest ‘maybe’. In other words, give it time.

With all that said, here is my quick guide to tarot for love: yes/no answers. So if you have a question about love, get clear in your mind what it is you are asking, grab your deck and pick out a card.

The gorgeous deck featured here is The Everyday Witch Tarot created by Deborah Blake and illustrated by Elisabeth Alba. I absolutely love it. It’s quirky, cute, and perfect for yes/no tarot.
