When you go into a tarot reading, the best mindset to have is to believe you’re going to find out some deep things about your overall existence. Tarot readings tell you messages based on the energies and they can reveal some important spiritual truths. It’s tempting to focus on purely surface-level questions, but the spiritual questions are the ones that will actually help you meaningfully. I’ve compiled some good questions to ask when you have a tarot reading to help get to the bottom of what’s really going on at an energetic level.
Lots of people want to ask when something they’re waiting for will come. It’s hard to be patient, and natural to want answers now. But I get the sense that the spirits who help with my tarot readings don’t want to answer questions that are fully rooted in the physical, mundane world. The reason you’re waiting or you’re feeling unsure about this physical situation is because, on a spiritual level, it was designed to make you uncomfortable. It’s there to help you get to the next soul level because you will learn a lesson from it.
If the cards told you exactly what was going to happen in the script of your life, then it wouldn’t be life. It would be two-dimensional and boring.
Life is full of vibrancy and confusion, and as humans, we have to figure that out without cheating. We can’t just get all the answers whenever we want. We have to experience surface-level life as it comes because everything is happening just as it’s meant to happen. And we’re experiencing it as it’s meant to be experienced — in some level of ignorance.
But something we can always get from a tarot reading is a status update. The universe won’t hold back if you ask what you’re supposed to be learning or focusing on right now. It isn’t shy about telling you what hard thing you’re supposed to be enduring.
It may not be the answer you seek, but it helps you relax and enjoy life a little more without worrying as much. It’s very healing to know that you’re on the right path — or that you need to shift a little.
Let’s understand why some of the best questions I get from clients in readings are so useful.
1. What Should I Be Focused On?
If you ask how you can be more aligned with the universe, it can only benefit you. Getting more clarity on your purpose can help you focus your activities and really make the most of your time on Earth.
So, it’s always a good idea to ask the cards about what you should be focused on. You may be distracted by some subplot in your life that is taking most of your energy when you need to be focused on something else.
2. What’s the Lesson Here?
Asking why something is happening to you is powerful. Learning your spiritual lessons is important because, let’s be honest, it’s the main reason why we’re even here. If you don’t eat your spiritual broccoli, it catches up with you.
Avoiding your lessons means they build up and explode eventually. You have to repeat your lessons from the universe over and over until you escape from that loop by demonstrating that you’ve finally learned. Get closer to your learning path by asking the cards what the lesson is.
3. What Do I Need to Surrender?
Letting go of what no longer serves (or has never served) can clear so much from your energy field and allow you to move forward with life. But sometimes we don’t know what we’re holding onto until the cards tell us.
Asking the cards what needs to be surrendered and released is so healing because it gives you clarity. Sometimes we just need to be told what needs to be done— and knowing this is half the battle.
