How Yes and No Tarot Card Readings Work

Yes and No Tarot readings are a simple way to get quick, direct answers when you’re feeling uncertain. When you have a clear question in mind—something that can be answered with a straightforward “Yes” or “No”—you shuffle the Tarot deck and draw a card, or sometimes a few.

Certain cards, like the Sun, Ace of Cups, or the World, usually point to a “Yes,” bringing positive and encouraging vibes. On the other hand, cards like the Tower, Ten of Swords, or the Devil often signal a “No,” suggesting caution or a different approach. Some readers also consider whether the card is upright or reversed to add another layer to the answer.

Practical Uses and Things to Keep in Mind

Yes and No Tarot readings are perfect when you need a quick, clear answer—like deciding whether to take a job offer, pursue a relationship, or make a big purchase.

They’re great for those moments when you just want a little nudge in the right direction. But remember, Tarot is more about guidance than giving you a set-in-stone answer. The cards reflect the current energy around your situation, helping you see the potential outcomes.

While a Yes or No reading can be super helpful for simple questions, if your situation is more complex, a full Tarot spread might give you deeper insights into what’s really going on.
