Yes or no tarot

How the answer is decided

Each of the 78 cards carries a yes, a no, or an unclear. The assignment is not random: The Tower and The Devil cannot honestly answer yes, and the Swords court spends most of its time hesitating. A reversed card flips a yes into a no and a no into a yes; unclear stays unclear, because a card that was already refusing to commit does not start committing upside down.

The draw is seeded with your question and today's date. Two consequences, both deliberate: a different question gives a different card, and the same question asked twice today gives the same answer. If you could reroll until you liked it, the answer would be worth nothing.

Why this is the weakest spread there is

A tarot card carries a cluster of related ideas. Forcing it to say yes or no throws away almost everything it has, and keeps the one bit that is least reliable. That is the honest description of what this page does.

It is still worth having, for one reason: the moment you see the answer, you find out what you were hoping for. A yes you feel relieved by and a yes you feel uneasy about are two different pieces of information, and neither of them came from the card.

Ask a better question instead

Closed questions get answers you will argue with. Open ones get answers you can use. Some swaps that cost nothing:

Instead of	Ask
Will he call me?	What am I not seeing about how this is going?
Should I take the job?	What am I actually weighing here?
Will this work out?	What would make this work, and is it in my hands?
Does she like me?	What am I bringing to this that I have not admitted?

If your question survives being reworded, it was probably worth asking.

When a card says unclear

Roughly one draw in five comes back unclear, and it is not a malfunction. Usually it means the question contains a hidden second question, or it is asking about somebody else's decision rather than your own. Split it in two and draw again tomorrow.

Is the yes or no tarot on this page free?

Yes. One card, one answer, no account and no sign-up. The reasoning behind the card — why it answers the way it does for your particular question — opens in the free app.

How does a tarot card give a yes or no answer?

Each of the 78 cards is assigned a yes, a no, or an unclear based on what the card means. A reversed card flips yes into no and no into yes; unclear stays unclear.

Why do I get the same answer when I ask again?

Because the draw is seeded with your question and today's date. The same question asked twice today gives the same card on purpose. An answer you can reroll until you like it is not an answer.

Can I ask the same question tomorrow?

You can, and you will get a different card, because the date is part of the seed. Whether that is useful is another matter: asking daily until the deck agrees with you is just a slower way of deciding for yourself.

Is a yes from the cards a prediction?

No. Nothing on this site predicts anything. The card is a prompt that makes you notice your own reaction, which is the part actually worth reading.
