What Kind of Questions Can I Ask in a Tarot Reading?
At Lavender Egg, our tarot readings provide insight, clarity, and guidance on the topics that matter most to you. Whether you’re seeking answers about love, career, personal growth, or a life challenge, tarot can help illuminate the path ahead.
How to Frame Your Question for a Tarot Reading
When asking a question in a tarot reading, it’s important to phrase it in a way that allows for deeper insight rather than a simple yes or no answer. Open-ended questions provide the most meaningful guidance. Instead of asking, “Will I get a new job?” consider, “What steps can I take to align myself with the right career opportunity?”
Additionally, tarot readings are best used as a tool for reflection and empowerment rather than prediction. The cards reveal possibilities, patterns, and influences in your life, helping you make informed decisions rather than dictating a fixed future.
Examples of Tarot Questions
Here are some examples of well-structured questions based on different areas of life:
Love & Relationships:
- What energies are influencing my love life right now?
- How can I attract a healthy and fulfilling relationship?
- What lessons am I meant to learn from my past relationships?
- How can I improve communication with my partner?
Career & Finances:
- What career path aligns with my true purpose?

Astrology & The Next Six Months: What to Expect and How Tarot Can Help
Astrology offers a cosmic roadmap for the energies influencing our lives, and tarot can provide personal guidance on how to navigate these shifts. Over the next six months, planetary movements will bring opportunities for growth, introspection, and transformation. Here’s a look at key astrological events and the types of tarot questions you might ask to gain deeper insight.
Mercury Retrograde: A Time for Reflection and Reassessment
Mercury, the planet of communication and technology, retrogrades multiple times a year, causing delays, misunderstandings, and the resurfacing of unresolved issues.
Tarot Question: How will the upcoming Mercury retrograde impact me?
➡ This question helps identify areas of life where you might experience communication challenges or revisited lessons from the past.
Eclipse Season: Dramatic Shifts and Karmic Realignments
Eclipses bring sudden changes and revelations, often pushing us toward our destiny. They can signal endings, new beginnings, and unexpected turning points.
Tarot Question: What themes will be most important for me during eclipse season?
➡ Since eclipses tend to highlight life-changing moments, this question can reveal what areas of your life will undergo transformation.
Jupiter’s Transit: Expansion and Opportunities
Jupiter, the planet of luck and growth, shifts signs or forms key aspects every year, influencing where we experience abundance and personal development.
Tarot Question: What opportunities or challenges will Jupiter’s transit bring into my life?
➡ This helps you understand where you may experience expansion or need to be mindful of excess and overconfidence.
Lunar Cycles: Harnessing the Power of the Full & New Moon
Each full and new moon carries a unique energy, depending on the sign it occurs in. Full moons illuminate what needs to be released, while new moons are powerful times for setting intentions.
Tarot Question: How can I best harness the energy of the next full moon?
➡ This question helps identify what to focus on—whether it’s letting go, manifesting, or finding clarity in a specific area of life.
Saturn Return & Major Saturn Transits: Life Lessons & Maturity
Saturn represents discipline, responsibility, and long-term growth. A Saturn return (which happens around ages 29 and 58) marks a period of major life restructuring.
Tarot Question: What should I focus on during my Saturn return?
➡ If you're going through your Saturn return or experiencing a major Saturn aspect, tarot can reveal the key lessons and challenges guiding your personal evolution.
Overall Life Alignment with Planetary Energy
The planets are always shifting, bringing new themes into our lives every few months.
Tarot Question: How can I align with the major astrological shifts happening in the next six months?
➡ This provides a broader look at how to work with, rather than against, the energy of the cosmos.
