For quite a few years it has been the trend amongst tarot readers, authors, and teachers (myself included) to encourage readers to help their querents (person asking the question) rephrase certain types of questions. What kinds of questions did we like to rephrase? 1. Yes/No questions 2. Questions involving a third party without their consent 3. Predictions about the future 4. “What” or “When” questions These questions are often considered less than helpful because they assume a pre-determined future and because they do not empower the querent. Questions that are favored are ones that: 1. Help the querent identify what they want 2. Give the querent guidance
