Okay, so, I was messing around with tarot cards the other day, trying to get some quick “yes” or “no” answers. You know, sometimes you just want a straight answer without all the fancy interpretations, right? So, I thought, why not make a list of which cards generally mean “yes” and which ones mean “no”? I grabbed my deck and started shuffling, thinking about what each card usually means in a reading.
I started with the Major Arcana, those big-shot cards that are all about major life events. My thought was these cards are the universe’s way of telling you something important. After dealing them out, I pondered for a while. These are the cards I figured generally mean “yes”:
- The Fool
- The Magician
- The World
- The Sun
- The Lovers
- The Chariot
And these, I think, usually lean towards “no”:
- The Hermit
- Death
- The Tower
- The Devil
- The Hanged Man
Then there are some that could go either way, depending on the question and maybe the cards around them, like:
- The Empress
- The Emperor
- Wheel of Fortune
- Strength
- Temperance
I did the same thing with the Minor Arcana, those cards that deal with day-to-day stuff. Those took a bit longer since there are so many of them. But I managed to sort them out, too. I’m not gonna list all 56 of them here, but you get the idea. Some, like the Ace of Cups or the Ten of Pentacles, seemed pretty positive, while others, like the Three of Swords or the Five of Cups, felt more negative.
My yes and no tarot card list
After I finished sorting, I wrote everything down, you know, to keep track. I made a whole list, separating the “yes” cards from the “no” cards, and the ones that were kind of in-between. It took some time, flipping through my guidebook and thinking about past readings, but I think it is pretty accurate.
Of course, this is just my take on it. Tarot is super personal, and what means “yes” to me might mean “no” to someone else. But I found it really helpful to have this list, especially when I’m in a hurry and just want a quick answer. It’s like a little cheat sheet. I can just draw a card, check my list, and get a general idea of what the universe is trying to tell me. It saved me a lot of time, honestly.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to. I thought I’d share it with you all in case anyone else finds it useful. It’s not set in stone, but it’s a good starting point if you’re looking for a quick way to get “yes” or “no” answers from your tarot cards. Just remember, tarot is a tool for guidance, and it’s always good to consider the bigger picture and not rely solely on simple “yes” or “no” answers. But, hey, sometimes a quick answer is all you need, right?
