Finding Answers Beyond The Simple Yes And No’s With Tarot
In tarot readings, many people ask yes/no questions seeking clarity. While a simple yes or no answer might seem straightforward, an indie spread made to expand on these responses goes beyond the surface to explore the “why” and “how” behind the answer. This way, you will be provided with clarity and understanding of the situation in a deeper way than the usual response.
Why Use the Expanded Approach?
Life is rarely black and white, and yes/no questions often involve complex emotions, external factors, and choices. The expanded spread helps uncover these layers, offering a more holistic perspective. For example, instead of just answering “Will I succeed?” the spread can show what actions, attitudes, or circumstances will lead to success or obstacles.
How to Use the Yes/No Expanded Spread
This spread involves pulling more cards to add depth to your answer. Here’s a simple layout:
- Card 1: The Yes/No Answer
This card gives a general sense of whether the outcome leans toward yes or no based on its upright or reversed position. - Card 2: The Challenge
Reveals obstacles or issues that may affect the outcome. - Card 3: The Opportunity
Highlights strengths or advantages that support the desired outcome. - Card 4: Advice
Provides guidance on how to align with the best possible outcome. - Card 5: Likely Outcome
Shows the result if current actions and attitudes remain unchanged.
Benefits of the Expanded Spread
This spread doesn’t just give you an answer; it empowers you to make informed decisions. For instance, if the cards suggest a “no” but reveal actionable advice, you can shift the outcome.
If you use the Yes/No Expanded Spread, you move beyond simple answers, gaining insight and clarity to navigate your situation with greater understanding and confidence.
