Common Pitfalls

Don't Ask Yes/No Questions

Tarot works best with open-ended questions that allow for nuanced guidance. Avoid questions that can only be answered with yes or no.

Avoid Future-Predicting Questions

Focus on guidance and insight rather than trying to predict specific future events. Tarot is about guidance, not fortune-telling.

Don't Ask About Others Without Permission

Respect others' privacy. Don't ask about someone else's personal life, relationships, or decisions without their consent.
