Well, howdy there! Let’s talk about this here “yes and no” tarot stuff. You know, them cards with all the pictures on ’em? Folks use ’em to figure things out, like if somethin’ good or bad is gonna happen.
What is this “Yes and No” Tarot Anyway?
So, this “yes and no” tarot, it’s a way to get quick answers. Like, you got a question burnin’ in your mind, and you just wanna know, is it a yes or a no? No need for fancy-schmancy explanations, just a straight answer, ya hear? It’s real good for when you’re in a hurry or just don’t wanna think too hard.
How to Do a Quick “Yes or No” Reading
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen folks do it. You just shuffle them cards up real good, thinkin’ hard about what you wanna know. Then you pick a card. Yep, just one. If it’s lookin’ up, like the people in the picture are standin’ tall and happy, that’s a “yes”. If it’s lookin’ down, or the people look all sad and droopy, that’s a “no”. Simple as pie.
Some folks, they like to pull three cards. Said it gives ‘em a better feel for things. But if you just want a quick answer, one card’ll do ya just fine.
- Shuffle the cards
- Think about your question
- Pick a card (or three)
- Look at the card: Upright is yes, reversed is no
The “Yes” Cards – The Happy Campers
Now, some cards, they’re just plain happy. Like that The Sun card. Bright and shiny, just like a summer day. That’s a big ol’ “yes” right there. Then there’s The World card. Means everything’s comin’ together all nice and neat. Another “yes”! And don’t forget The Star, that’s a hopeful one, full of good vibes and happy dreams. Oh, and The Chariot! That one’s all about movin’ forward and gettin’ things done. All those are good signs, tellin’ you to go for it!
The “No” Cards – The Grumpy Gusses
But then you got them other cards, the ones that look all gloomy. Like The Tower. That one’s about things fallin’ apart, like a stack of dishes comin’ crashing down. That’s a big ol’ “no,” honey. And The Devil? Stay away from that fella, he’s nothin’ but trouble. Definitely a “no.” Three of Swords? Looks like a heart gettin’ stabbed, nobody wants that! Another “no”. Five of Pentacles? Oh honey, folks looking all poor and left out in the cold, it means big troubles, not a good time, it’s a “no”. See, it ain’t so hard to figure out.
Maybe Cards – The “Hmm, Not So Sure” Bunch
And then, you got them cards that ain’t quite yes and ain’t quite no. They’re kinda like, “well, maybe…” or “it depends…” Like The Lovers card. That one’s about choices, and sometimes choosin’ ain’t easy. Could go either way. Or The Hermit. That fella’s all alone, thinkin’ things over. Might mean you need to wait a bit before you get your answer. And that Wheel of Fortune card, it’s just all over the place, always spinnin’ around, means things are changing so your yes or no can be yes now and a no later. And sometimes you have the High Priestess, she doesn’t give a clear answer cause she says the time ain’t right for it, so you gotta wait for it and do some more thinking. So, if you get one of these, you might need to ask your question again later, or maybe ask it in a different way.
Love Questions and the Tarot
Lots of folks use these cards to ask about love. You know, “Will he call me?” or “Is she the one?” Same rules apply. Happy cards mean good things for your love life, sad cards, well, not so much. But remember, love ain’t always easy. Sometimes a “no” now might mean a “yes” later on, once you and that other person figure things out.
Why Use “Yes or No” Tarot?
Well, it’s quick and easy, like I said. And sometimes, you just need a simple answer. You don’t wanna hear a long, drawn-out story, you just wanna know if you should take that job, go on that trip, or talk to that fella. These here cards can help you with that. It’s a good way to start learnin’ too, before you get into all them fancy spreads with lots of cards. Just remember, it ain’t magic, it’s just a way to listen to your own gut feeling.
Getting Started with Your Own Deck
Now, if you wanna try this yourself, you gotta get yourself a deck of tarot cards. There’s all kinds out there, some pretty, some plain. Doesn’t really matter which one you get, just pick one that feels right to you. Then, shuffle them cards up real good, and start askin’ your questions. But remember, be respectful. These cards ain’t toys, they’re tools to help you understand yourself and the world around you. And most important, listen to what your heart tells you too, not just the cards.
