Common Pitfalls
Don't Ask About Others' Private Matters
Avoid questions about other people's thoughts, feelings, or actions. Focus on your own situation and what you can control.
Avoid Yes/No Questions
Don't ask questions that can only be answered with yes or no. The tarot works best with open-ended questions that allow for deeper insights.
Don't Ask the Same Question Repeatedly
Avoid asking the same question multiple times in a short period. Give the cards time to reveal their message and trust the guidance you receive.
