The 37 Best Tarot Questions
The original 37 Best Tarot Questions post seems to have been compiled around 2014 by a former tarot reader named Alec Satin. All of his tarot postings disappeared after he experienced a conversion to fundamentalist Christianity.
His list isn’t bad, and I’ll reproduce it at the bottom of this post.
In the meanwhile, I couldn’t resist coming up with my own list of 37 best tarot questions.
My list is based on the most popular categories my clients always ask about.
But, I’m giving you my edits of their questions. It’s important to rephrase questions in a way that makes it easy for tarot to answer.
This gets the client really valuable, specific answers that usually include practical steps to get them where they want to be.
I usually spend a lot of time at the top of a client reading trying to get people to clarity on exactly what it is that they want to know.
(That, in itself, is an amazing benefit of scheduling a tarot reading, since most people aren’t really sure exactly what they want to know — until we chat about it.)
Why is it so important to ask the right questions? Because it’s the only way to get the kind of precise, illuminating, helpful answers that can truly change your life.
So here are my own 37 best tarot questions to do just that.
