5 questions Tarot Readers or Teachers hear most.

Tarot is a timeless tool for seekers, offering insight, clarity and a deeper connection to the mysteries of life. Whether you are new to tarot or a seasoned explorer, certain questions seem to be very popular.

In this post we will explore 5 common questions readers or tarot teachers often hear.

1. What type of questions should I ask a tarot reader ?

The best questions are open-ended and focused on guidance rather than questions that require simple yes-no answers. So instead of asking "will I get the job" a better question will be "how can I improve my chances of getting the job."

• Good tarot questions often start with:
• What do I need to know about ...
• How can I improve ...
• What is the energy around ...
• What is the meaning of this ...

Tarot is most empowering when you are looking for clarity, insights or a deeper understanding of your path and circumstances and not just simply trying to "predict" an outcome.

2. How important is intuition when reading tarot cards ?

In many ways intuition is the bridge between the symbols on the cards and the wisdom you are meant to receive. Intuition brings the cards to life, they "speak to you differently depending on the situation, person or moment. 

Reading the tarot can also vastly help a person to improve their psychic abilities.

I personally believe tarot should be 50 % about knowing the cards and 50 % intuition.

3. How often should I get a reading ?

This is one question that should not be answered by your Tarot reader. The querent needs to tap into their own personal needs and intentions to know how often to get a reading. Some people only require readings during big life decisions while others get readings a few times a month.

A general rule to follow is to allow some time between readings so you have space to process the insights and take action.

If you pull cards too often (especially asking the same questions) the messages can actually get confusing and less clear. Trust your own intuition - you will usually feel when its the right time for a reading. 

4. Can Tarot predict the future ?

It is possible to tap into the collective unconscious or to communicate with your own higher self / soul with the help of the Tarot to foresee patterns or circumstances before they fully manifest. 

Tarot will show you the trajectory or timeline you are on - which will become a fixed future unless you make changes to shift your direction. People often come for tarot readings to find out the future so that they can change it and avoid possible undesirable outcomes. 

5. What is the most important card in the tarot deck ?

There isn't just ONE most important card in the deck although some consider the World Card (completion and fulfillment) or the Death Card (transformation and rebirth to be the most important cards in the deck.

However, The Fool card is still considered to be the most important cards by many. The Fool is the 0 card in the Major Arcana in most decks and represents new beginnings, infinite potential, trust and the soul's journey through life.
