How to ask a good tarot question (with 15 examples)

Three rules for a useful question

1. Make it about you. "How can I improve communication with my partner?" works better than "Does he still love me?"
2. Keep it open. "What should I consider before…" invites guidance; "Will I…" invites a yes/no that tells you little.
3. Stay focused. One situation per question.

Questions to avoid

Questions about other people's private thoughts, exact dates, lottery numbers, medical outcomes or legal cases. A responsible reader will gently redirect these.
