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?

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?"

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 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.

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 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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/

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.

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.

If this is a major problem for you, consider using some simple protection techniques: https://exemplore.com/wicca-witchcraft/Psychic-Pro...

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
