Quality Questions For A Quality Reading

In last Saturdays blog post we examined the questions that make every tarot reader cringe inside.  This week we are going to explore what kinds of questions make for the best possible readings.

I can’t stress enough how one of the most important components of a successful reading is the question and how it’s asked. The more targeted a question is, the more likely it is the answer will be useful. If you are vauge with your question you will get a vauge answer.

Of course these are not the be all, end all of tarot questions, but if you look at the structure of them and the style you can see how you can adapt any question to get a quality answer. Don't be discouraged if you don't get the hang of it right away. One of the courses I took years ago they actually gave us BAD questions and challenged us to rephrase them into GOOD questions. Sometimes easier said then done. Feel free to reach out to us at any time for help creating the perfect question.
