How to Do Your Own Yes/No Tarot Card Reading for Love Questions

If you have to ask, then you should quit. What does your tarot card say?

Because when you are drawing a single card, you could simply be holding the deck the wrong way round. The 78 cards of the tarot contain all the information you need to know, and an experienced reader takes into account all the possible meanings of a card from negative to positive. So eventually reversals become far less important.

When drawing one card, you can ignore them. The Devil suggests you might be focusing too much on this issue. Or that you might have one person in mind who is not good for you. Whichever it is, let it go.

Your first interpretation is always the correct one. Your second is a classic example to make the answer fit what you wish to be told. However, that doesn't mean that you should do what the cards tell you... you have free will.

Okay, so you drew the Three of Wands but you haven't said what that meant to you. This is why drawing extra cards 'for clarification' almost never works. Instead of taking the answer given by the first card, people keep drawing more cards. Hence more confusion. Unless you set your initial intention to draw four cards, then the other three mean nothing.

If it's a one-card reading (requiring a yes/no answer), go with the first card. If the situation is more complex, you need a dedicated spread to get the best from the cards.

I also doubt very much that if there has been a third party involved recently that any couple could move forward happily.

To clarify, the Three of Wands means that one or both of you is involved in other things outside of the relationship. Usually work, or study, travel, new opportunities, or something else that is connected with planning for the future.

You could use two cards if you needed more information, but don't ask the initial question for a yes/no and then draw two cards. Draw the one, so you have your answer, then formulate a second question, like "What else do I need to know about this situation?"

The Lovers card is one with many layers. On the surface, it means a deep, connected love. However, it's associated with the sign of Gemini, the Twins. Therefore, it can also mean facing a life-changing choice. Some older decks show a man trying to choose between two women.

Yes, it does. In this case, the Queen of Pentacles is telling you to become more independent, to stop worrying about that one person, and to stop pulling cards over and over. She's a feisty woman who doesn't take any nonsense. She's strong, not prone to falling in love easily, and prefers to get on with living her life in the best way she can.

The Page of Pentacles tells you that either you or your ex are about to embark on a voyage of discovery. So, right now, no, there's no sign that your ex will return. However, that could change in a few weeks. Meanwhile, you may find someone else or take on some new absorbing project.

Your reaction is fine. And you must always go with it. The Fool often does say that taking a risk is the way to go, but your visceral emotional reaction to that message tells you all you need to know - now is not the time for you to move forward.

That's the thing with tarot, your emotional and immediate reaction is the correct interpretation every time. It's your subconscious connecting with the deeper message of the card. That's why I don't like interpreting other people's cards: I won't get that reaction.

So, my advice to you, is to bookmark the article, wait a week or so, then draw another card. Things may change.

It is possible to use tarot cards to carry out deliberate spells or rituals to try to get your ex back, but why not look forward instead of back--there is someone better out there for you.

You can, but there will be quite a lot of variance. These are derived from my experience reading the cards for love situations. I have another one for money, which would probably be better for work:

It could. But at the same time, the Page of Pentacles could indicate that one or both of you need to concentrate on your studies.

The Nine of Swords indicates a set of circumstances is coming to an end. Therefore, you will be able to let go of your preoccupation with this person. Swords are always connected to thought and communication, so it shows that this unrequited love is more a habit of thought than anything else. Live your life and love will find you in due course.

If you are only drawing the one card, then reversals don't count. Assume that a one-card reading is always an upright card and then there is no confusion.

So, the King of Pentacles would indicate a yes. It's a practical, sensible kind of love that is firmly rooted in the real world. It might not be very romantic, but it could still be a lot of fun.

When you turn a card, your first thought is usually the correct one. When the World shows up, it is generally positive but sometimes not in the way we'd prefer. So, yes, it's likely that the relationship is over but at the same time, you are in the right place for the next set of positive circumstances to unfold. Whatever is to come next will be better than that which is behind you.

Death means a transition that you cannot prevent. Therefore, you will be moving on. Death is like a portal from one life stage to another. There is no choice involved. It's going to happen. Once passed, you can then lookout for signs of a positive future.

I agree, but usually, if someone is having a reading for an established relationship, there is often some problem which they need to be addressed. People generally don't ask for tarot readings when life is going well. Hence it makes sense to build in the opportunity for the 'negative' positions. You, as the reader, can adjust the positions to suit the main question, or choose a more appropriate spread.

As to the kind of cards that show up, you have to remember that a card holds all the energy from negative to positive. That's why I don't use reversals very often - because it's all there already. So the negative aspects can be brought out by the situation/question and the position. The Knight of Cups can be someone who loves to be in love, rather than being in love with his/her partner. The King of Swords is often a harsh authoritarian. This is where your intuition will help you.

Firstly, you are the one making the decision so you already know what that is going to be. You know if you want him back.

Secondly, see the note at the bottom of the article about reversals. When drawing one-card, read it upright. So your answer from the cards is: "No, you have to walk away from this one, even if it breaks your heart."

Ignore that the card is reversed. When drawing a single card, it's very likely you are holding the deck upside down. So always read it as if it were upright.

As the answer says above, this could be a new opportunity to move on. That doesn't mean the marriage will end, simply that you can use whatever is happening right now to make a huge change. It could, of course, mean it's over, or it could mean a completely new start. It is your joint decision.

It's important that you recognize your initial response when you turn a card. That will tell you all you need to know.

The Page of Pentacles is curious yet pragmatic. She has a very sensible, down-to-earth persona. Being ruled by earth, she has an instinct that always stands her in good stead. Look to your own instinct and rely on your own intuition to guide you.

As your question only demands a yes/no answer, I would suggest you reshuffle the cards, focus on the question, and draw one single card. Those other cards may be significant in your life, so just keep a note of them. It's too easy to confuse yourself, especially when you are a tarot novice.

If you want to be guided to end a relationship, then the Four of Wands indicates that once it is done, you will feel relief. Stress will disappear and you will be able to relax and enjoy life without being concerned about the relationship.

Your question illustrates perfectly the confusion that arises when you ask the same question repeatedly. Turn one card and go with that answer. So I would go with the first card. The tarot tried its best to help you by delivering the exact same card the next time you asked.

If you can link this person with the characteristics of the Queen of Swords, then your answer is a yes. However, that doesn't mean she can actually have any effect on your life. That can only happen if you allow it and feel that you have no personal power of your own.

We can't know that because it's impossible to tell if the card drawn is in response to an emotional state. The reader's mood will, of course, affect their interpretation.

Asking the cards if you are going to marry someone before a relationship has actually begun is not helpful. What you need to know is what the next step could be. Which is whether you are going to develop a friendship that could lead to a relationship.

Tarot has a habit of giving you the information you need to know before directly answering a question. It means you will very likely get together, but it might also mean that you will be facing a life-changing choice sometime soon.

If you are doing an either/or question, then one card is sufficient, otherwise, you will get a confusing answer. The tarot has given you two options... Death is the end of something important, i.e. the relationship is over. The Hanged Man tells you to do nothing, make no choice at all until the situation becomes clear or the relationship is ended by the other person. Either way, it's coming to an end.

I'm assuming you mean two different individuals. The Moon indicates the situation is not yet clear; time will resolve this. The Seven of Pentacles shows that the person in question is undecided, but that it is a distinct possibility you will contact each other in due course. As with every question of this nature, the passing of time will provide your answer.

Give it a try. Hold your question in your mind. Visualize Gonzalo asking if you can get back together. Shuffle and draw a card. Check with the answers given above.

It's very straightforward. Take your deck and put it in order. Get a piece of paper and designate each line: Majors 0-21, then Wands 1-13, Cups 1-13, Swords 1-13, Pentacles 1-13. Go through the deck slowly and using your own intuition, write yes or no next to each number. Some cards could be a 'maybe'.

Once you've done that, shuffle the cards thoroughly, and do your reading. Refer to your list for the answer.

For my take, you can read this article: http://lunarcafe.com/yes-or-no-tarot/

Well, the method given above is for simple one-card readings. And your initial question, "Does he love me?" just needs a single card. As soon as you complicate it by building in positional meanings, then you add a layer of complexity that you really don't need until you are a more experienced reader.

The reversal of the Wheel of Fortune doesn't make a great deal of difference to the energy of the card. It just means radical change. In answer to 'How does he feel?' it shows that he doesn't really know because his feelings are literally all over the place. Ace of Pentacles is always a good card and may mean that he sees you as a gift.

Having said all that, the cards may not be responding to your actual question - I got that combination for someone once and she received a gift of $4000 a few days later.

Many people think that drawing clarification cards is a good thing to do. In my experience all they do is cause confusion. Your first card is the answer. Also, when drawing a single card, there's no point in using reversals. You might have been holding the whole deck the wrong way up.

So the Ace of Cups suggests a new attraction. The Lovers usually means having to make a important decision, often regarding a relationship. So I think it means that you might well be contacted by your ex, but that there could also be someone else on the scene so you will have to choose.

It means that the outcome is not yet clear. It holds the possibility of going either way. As it says, give it a little more time.

When using single cards for yes/no questions, I recommend not using reversals. There's a more detailed explanation in the article above why there's no need.

I've never been any good at timings, but you could work out your own system. For example, Clubs/Wands represent summer; Hearts/Cups = Autumn; Diamonds/Pentacles = winter; Spades/Swords = spring. Then, depending on the number, you can work out an approximate time into the season. Aces being early, Kings being late.

The reason why you have to ask the question is because you have mixed up the principle behind this kind of reading. It's one question/one card/no reversals. As soon as you 'muddy the water', you end up confused. Ask your question, draw a card and interpret it as a yes or a no, as given in the lists above.

If you want a nuanced answer, you need a different spread and intention for your reading.

No. To get a definitive answer, you should have a well-formed question. Otherwise, you risk being left confused, just as you are now. Temperance is almost always positive and indicates good chemistry.

The article above deals with yes/no answers, so only one card is required as per the guidelines given. Ask the question in such a way that only a yes, no, or maybe is a sufficient answer, then scroll through the lists to see what it says.

The answer is very clear, they will walk away from the relationship.

If it was a one-card reading, then I recommend not reading reversals. I explain why in the article. The Four of Wands is sometimes referred to as 'the arrows of love' and can represent conception.

I've never felt the need to protect myself. However, some readings and/or clients can leave an 'icky' feeling. In which case, it's good to get some fresh air, open windows, light some incense, and put the cards to 'rest' for a while.

When a card escapes the shuffle, make a note of it, put it back in the deck, shuffle some more and continue your reading. If the card you draw means 'maybe', then it's a maybe. Let a week go past and try again. Meanwhile, take your popped out card and your 'maybe' card and put them side-by-side and see what you can learn from them. Journal what you see in the cards. Are they interacting? What do you think they mean? How might they apply to other parts of your life? Learning tarot is a journey - do your best to develop your intuition so that you don't have to rely on pages like this one.

Clarification cards are a waste of time. They simply add another layer of confusion. Avoid using them.

The best way is to learn the traditional meanings -- they are there for a reason. All cards have a range of possible meanings from negative to positive. So when you interpret each card, allow your intuition to guide you as to where on the spectrum the message lies.
