yes or no?

It' so tempting isn't it? you don't know which way to go, what the answer should be.

Will I or won't I?

Should I or not?

What is the right choice?

The Tarot is not necessarily the right place to to turn for those direct yes or no times.

Sorry.

But of course that does not mean it cannot help at all. Where it can help is the overall vibe or energy of the situation you are in. We all know deep inside what the answers are, when we find ourselves in this corner, we want a different answer or outcome. Getting that answer from outside seems like the best way to not have to decide for yourself.

But what if the question is not so much yes or no, but what would it be like if I went with yes or if I chose no? Then the help is at hand, giving you some guidance to the energies and influences at play. And sometimes the kick in the butt we also need!

Try to only draw one card. It is tempting to keep going until you get what seems like a good one, but don't. Then really look at it, the information, the sign you are looking for may be there.

Colour is a good indicator, lots of positive yellow is usually a sign that yes the outcomes here are likely to be positive. I think Pages are always a positive, there is nothing wrong with new start, we start every day as a Page really, every day is a new beginning. Aces also, a sure sign that things are going in the right direction, as are Queens. And The World? Can't get a clearer yes that this invitation to step through the victory wreath and claim your prize.

So, where does it get trickier?

The Tarot is full of dire looking cards and fearsome scenarios, particularly the Rider Waite deck. That's ok, often the darkest cards mean good or great things are about to happen to you through the power of intense transformation.

Those are not your no cards.

Your no cards are the ones that ask you to look at your choices, your timing, your motivation. Swords want you to understand there are two sides to everything. Pentacles? Money is good yes? Not when it is all you are thinking about , and grasping. Fear may be driving your choices, it is never the right energy to make decisions in. The Hermit could be telling you to take some quiet time and really reflect on what your instincts are telling you, what your heart and your mind say.

And the Tower, yes it is here as a no card because change is upon you, big, unruly, no you didn't ask for it change. Ride this out and regroup before taking up this particular question again. The Tower is your time to rebuild and reform your whole life. Should I or shouldn't I just don't get a look in at this time.

At the end of the day ask for indicators, warnings, external energies, and guidance about your intentions in this matter, not just yes or no. The cards will certainly give you that, then trust yourself for the next part.
