Avoid asking the same question multiple times in a short period. This can lead to confusion and may indicate you're not ready to hear the answer.

Don't Rely Solely on Tarot for Major Decisions

While tarot can provide valuable guidance, use it as one tool among many. Make important decisions based on a combination of intuition, logic, and practical considerations.

Don't Ignore Your Own Wisdom

Remember that tarot is a tool for accessing your own inner wisdom. The cards reflect what you already know deep down, so trust your own insights and guidance.
