Powerful One-Card Tarot Spreads

Part 9

Questions beginning with is or are requiring a yes or no answer can be handled a number of ways. The easiest system to use is inverted cards for no and upright cards for yes.

Q - Am I doing the right thing for me to (blank)?

A - Inverted Six of Cups = No, you're not. To which my client responded: I though so. Professional tarot readers can make a lot of money confirming their client's intuitive insights are correct.

The second easiest method of answering yes-no questions is to use the even-numbered cards for yes and the odd-numbered cards for no.

Q - Am I going to get this job with (blank)?

A - Inverted Six of Cups (Six = yes). Actually, the card was upright, but my point is only the number is critical in arriving at the answer using this numerical method of answering yes-no questions.

Q - Am I doing alright with my readings?

A - Inverted Key XVI The Tower = Awakening. The Tower card is not often seen as positive in many systems, but here the answer is yes because sixteen is an even number. Additionally, the card tells me you're having difficulty awakening to the fact you're doing just fine with your tarot readings. My suggestion is to keep on reading and believe in yourself. At least, believe in your Higher Self.

Another way is to use the feminine suits of Water and Earth for yes and the masculine suits of Fire and Air for no. This can be called the Elemental Approach while the previous one could be called the Numerical Approach.

Using this system the Major Arcana cards say I don't know yet or maybe yes, maybe no. And the card drawn also explains why no answer is yet available, or why the answer isn't available to your client. That's tricky, but it works.

Q - Did (blank) steal the money from the company?

A - This is the kind of question I really don't like to answer for a number of reasons. What if I'm wrong? Or maybe interpret a card wrongly? What's going to happen to (blank) based on my answer? What kind of karma am I creating for myself? What's my client going to do with this information? Is it ethical to even try to answer such a question?

So my standard response is something to the effect the cards don't invade the privacy of other people. In this case, my client wouldn't let it go. Against my better judgement, and I certainly don't recommend you or anybody ever does anything against his or her better judgement, I pulled the inverted Judgement card. Was this card for me? or my client?

That's the first thought that crossed my mind. This card means Rebirth to me. Inverted it indicates a major issue in the individual's life. I explained to my client the tarot won't say yes or no. What it does say is blank's going through a major crisis in blank's life and the change will be dramatic, like being born again.

Several days later I called my client to ask how things came out. She explained the employee came to her, confessed everything and made full restitution. That sounded like a crisis and rebirth situation to me. Was I just lucky? Maybe!

Q - Is March a good time for me to start a part-time business reading tarot cards?

A - Queen of Cups = yes (Water). In this case, the Queen also says a lot about this person's abilities. That's often the case using either of these two methods of handling yes-no questions.

Q - Do your cards think this is a good time for me to move in with (blank)?

A - Inverted Seven of Cups (Water = yes). Yes, but my cards also caution you to see things as they are and not how you think they should be.

Your assignment this week, should you choose to try it, is to do several Is, Are? and Yes-No tarot spreads to answer questions for yourself and your friends. Next time we'll wrap up these discussions of the Dynamic Elemental Tarot Spreads. In the meantime, have a great week.
