Asking a Question
Why Tarot?
Most people turn to the Tarot when they are facing a problem or challenge and need some advice.
Something in your life may be troubling you.
Tarot can help you to understand why this is happening and what you can do about it.
Do you find that you make the same mistakes over and over again?
A Tarot reading can help you to see just where you're going wrong and help you to get your life back on the right track.
Maybe you are facing a decision and feel that you need a little guidance.
Tarot can help give you an overview of the situation so that you can make a more informed choice.

Getting the most from your question
The type of answer you get from the cards usually depends on the type of question you ask.
Here are a few guidelines to help you come up with the right question.
Remember that the cards will not make decisions for you. Take responsibility for the situation you are in.
Try to avoid questions that require a yes or no answer - I don't believe that Tarot is very good at answering these type of questions. 'Open questions' are best.
For example:
Instead of asking:
Will I get that job I'm going after?
It's better to ask:
How can I improve my chances of getting that job I'm going after?
Concentrate on yourself, you're the one that you can change.
Asking questions about other people is intrusive.
For example:
Instead of asking:
Is my boyfriend cheating on me?
It's better to ask:
What do I need to know about my relationship with my boyfriend? OR:
What can I do to improve my relationship with my boyfriend?
Be as positive as you can be - this way you're more likely to get an empowering answer.
For example:
Instead of asking:
Why don't things ever go my way?
It's better to ask:
What can I do to improve my life and help me get the most out of ______ this situation?
If you don't have a specific question, let me know and I can do a general reading for you or I can focus on one area of your life that you'd like me to focus on, career or your love life for example.
Bear in mind that your reading may not be as specific as a reading with a particular question.
