Recently, someone asked me if it’s “okay” to ask the same question twice in a row?
Of course it is!
Remember, nothing in Tarot is NOT okay. In fact, if the first reading isn’t clear, it’s fine to try again.
But since repeat questions can cause confusion, here is a helpful approach.

The question: How does a friend feel towards me?
A hypothetical querrent ended a friendship a few years prior and wants to know what the friend thinks of them. Here is what the Tarot said.
2 of Wands: In this context, longing. Perhaps checking in on this friend through social media or through the grapevine to find out how they’re doing.
4 of Swords: Unresolved issues. Might like some closure. Might also think that this separation is temporary.
7 of Swords Reversed: Feeling a little powerless over the situation. Perhaps thinks the ball is in the other person’s court.
Shuffle the deck…try again!
10 of Wands Reversed: Increased clarity. Perhaps the friend has a better understanding about why the friendship ended.
3 of Swords Reversed: Healing from hurt. The ending of the friendship likely hurt this person, but they have moved past it.
Knight of Swords: Aggression. There may be some lingering anger there, or perhaps some hurtful thoughts.
After doing both readings, note the similarities
1.) Both readings include only Wands and Swords.
This friend likely had strong feelings and thoughts about this friend.
2.) Neither reading include Major Arcana cards.
While the querrent certainly crosses the friend’s mind, they don’t take up a huge amount of space in their thoughts.
3.) Cards in both readings indicate confusion and things being unfinished.
One of the big threads in both readings include some clarity, but not a lot, and a sense that the story is unfinished. It’s likely that the friend still has some big questions that they’d like to have answered about why the friendship unravelled.
Recommended: Stop at two asks.
Asking a question a third time is likely to bring about more confusion. But the more similarities you discover between the two readings will provide even more insight and answers.
