    4 Ways To Answer A Yes or No Question Using Tarot Cards

    4 Ways To Answer A Yes or No Question Using Tarot Cards

    Remember that Tarot reading is a bit like shopping on sale days. Sometimes you find exactly what you need and other times you end up with something you'll never use but can't return. Just go with the flow and have fun exploring it! There are a few common Tarot card reading styles or spreads you can give a go to get started.

    1. The first is called the Single Card Draw. You'll just focus on your question and draw one card. A positive card means yes, a negative card means no.
    2. Next we have the Pendulum Method which gets a little Harry Potter-ish. You hold your card deck in one hand and use a pendulum or necklace over the cards. Ask your question and see which way it swings to get the answer.
    3. Then there's the Past-Present-Future spread where you draw three cards to represent the past, present and future. This gives you some context around your question and helps explain the yes, no or maybe answer. Sometimes the maybe is just as useful. 
    4. For more details you can do the Five-Card spread where you lay out five cards in a certain pattern and interpret them together.

    4. When you're ready, draw the top card. A positive card means yes, negative means no. If it's neutral, the cards are saying “it's complicated!”
    5. Take a moment to think about what the card is telling you. Go with your gut feeling on the meaning.
    6. If you want more clarity, shuffle and draw again. But don't overdo it, the Tarot doesn't like indecisiveness.

    How To Do The Yes or No Tarot Card Reading With The Pendulum Method

    How To Do The Yes or No Tarot Card Reading With The Pendulum Method

    Remember, the Tarot is like a wise old aunt, sometimes cryptic, often enlightening, and always worth listening to, even when she's a bit off her rocker. Let’s dive into how to take advantage of the Pendulum Method for yes or no tarot card reading.

      1. Find Your Pendulum: First things first, grab your pendulum. Don't have one? No problem. A necklace with a decently heavy pendant works too. 
      2. Get Comfy and Center Yourself: Find a comfortable spot. If you're like me and your idea of meditation is thinking about what to have for lunch while sitting quietly, just try to relax as best you can. Deep breaths, clear your mind, you know the drill.
      3. Prep Your Tarot Deck: Now, take your Tarot deck and spread it out in front of you. Make it look pretty, aesthetics are half the fun, right?
      4. The Big Question: Think of  your yes or no question. Keep it simple. “Will I have a good day?” is great. “What is the meaning of life?” Not so much.
      5. Pendulum Time: Hold the pendulum (or your necklace) over the cards. Keep your hand steady, this isn't time for interpretive dance movements.
      6. Ask Away: Ask your question out loud. Watch the pendulum swing. If it moves in a circular motion, the spirits are still deciding. A back and forth motion over a card is your answer. Yes or no, depending on the card it hovers over.
      7. Interpret with Caution: Look at the card. Is it a traditionally positive card like The Star? That’s a ‘Yes’. A more challenging card like the tower? That might be a ‘No’. Got the Fool? The cards might be telling you to take a leap of faith, or its just having a laugh. 
      8. Thank Your Pendulum: Once you’re done, thank your pendulum with a heart full of gratitude.

    4. Past Card: The first card represents the influence of the past. This card sheds light on how your past experiences are shaping your situation.

Instead of giving you a straight up answer, this spread dives into why it's giving that answer so that things are a lot more clear to you.

    2. Shuffle with Intention: Shuffle your Tarot deck while focusing on your question. Make it specific like “Will my recent online shopping spree be successful or not?” Avoid asking questions, the Tarot provides insights but it can't read minds.
    3. The Exciting Reveal: Draw five cards and lay them out in front of you. Each card brings its element.
    4. Card One: The first card represents your situation. It sets the stage for the overall tone and vibe of the reading.

    6. Card Three: The third card delves into your aspirations and anxieties. It tells you the deeper feeling that is beneath your skin that you just can't seem to touch upon.
    7. Card Four: The fourth card reveals what is in your favor. It reveals everything you have going for you in the spiritual and physical realm.
    8. Card Five: Lastly the fifth card predicts results. It shows you what happens if you follow through with what is advised by the cards.
    9. Putting it Together: Now consider all the cards as a whole. What story do they tell? How do they interact with one another? 
    10. Reflect and Decide: Ponder over the reading and its implications for your questions. Keep in mind that the Tarot functions as a companion offering guidance, its ultimately your choice how to utilize that advice.

    Yes or No Determination:

    • Mostly upright cards: Leans towards a 'Yes.'
    • Mostly reversed cards: Leans towards a 'No.'
    • Balanced upright and reversed: The answer is not clear-cut; factors may still be unfolding.
