What are good questions to ask the Tarot? What are the best questions for the Tarot?
One of my favorite Tarot questions to answer is the “How do I…?” Sadly, I get fewer of those and more of the “Will I…?” questions.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve asked “Will I…?” questions plenty of times. Tarot’s legacy is in prophecy after all! But prophecy only helps us to a point. Leaning into prophecy leads us to believe we exist at the whims of the Universe.
But asking a “How do I…?” question not only reminds us that we have control over our destiny, it also tells us how to shape that destiny.
Best of all, Tarot can answer a “How do I…?” question with just one card!
Before I show you…one quick reminder:

Hypothetical Question: “What resources do I have to bring more abundance into my life?”
The reading: Pull a single card to answer this question. Below are two examples!
Example One: 7 of Pentacles
Pentacles typically represent physical resources (money, work, others supplies). Given that the character in the card is a gardener who is looking at the ground at their feet, it’s likely that the Tarot thinks there are things immediately around the querrent that they can harvest! The number in the card can suggest the number of resources at the querrent’s disposal.
Question for the Querrent based on the 7 of Pentacles: What are seven resources at your fingertips that you could use to attract abundance? Selling some stuff in the garage? Picking up a side hustle?
Now, let’s imagine that the querrent pulled the 9 of Swords:
Swords typically represent conflict or cutting something away. But because they are linked to air, they can also represent communication and thoughts. Looking at the character in the 9 of Swords who seems to be worried about something. Because they are in bed, they are not specifically acting on their actions. While the querrent is working on attracting abundance, are they also holding themselves back by worrying over things that are not in their control? It’s possible that by addressing those things, they will be able to free up their lives to receive more abundance.
Question for the querrent based on the 9 of Swords: What are 9 things that worry them that they cannot control? Once those are identified, how can they put them aside…since they are not in their control, anyway?
