Alright, let’s talk about these here tarot cards, the yes or no kind. You know, the ones folks use to figure out stuff. I ain’t no fancy expert, mind you, just a plain ol’ woman who’s seen a thing or two, and these cards, well, they sometimes give you a straight answer, sometimes not so much.
First off, you got your big cards, they call ’em the Major Arcana. There’s 22 of them, and each one’s got its own story. Like that Sun card, that’s a big ol’ YES. Means good things are comin’, sunshine and happiness, you know? But if it ain’t a yes, it means something’s gonna come out, maybe something you didn’t know. Either way, you’ll get your answer, even if it ain’t what you wanted.
Then you got your smaller cards, the Minor Arcana. There’s 56 of these, split into four suits – Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each suit is like a different part of life. Wands are about your get-up-and-go, your ideas. Cups are about your feelings, love and all that mushy stuff. Swords are about your thinking, sometimes too much thinking, and Pentacles are about your money and things you can touch. And each suit’s got cards numbered from Ace to Ten, then you got your Court Cards – Page, Knight, Queen, and King – like those picture cards in a regular deck, but with more meaning.
Now, when you’re askin’ a yes or no question, some cards just scream YES. Like that Ten of Cups, that’s pure happiness, like a big family get-together, everyone smilin’ and laughin’. That’s a definite yes if I ever saw one. And some cards, well, they’re a big ol’ NO. Like, if you get a card turned upside down, that’s usually a no. They call it reversed, all fancy-like, but it just means things ain’t lookin’ good, or maybe you need to look at things a different way.

So, if you want a quick yes or no, just pull one card. Upright, it’s a yes. Upside down, it’s a no. But remember, these cards ain’t gonna tell you everything. They just give you a little nudge, a little somethin’ to think about. You gotta use your own brain, your own gut feeling, to figure out what it all means. Life ain’t that simple, you know? It ain’t all black and white, yes or no. There’s a whole lot of gray in between.
And don’t go askin’ the same question over and over again, hoping for a different answer. The cards don’t like that. It’s like pesterin’ someone ’til they tell you what you wanna hear. That ain’t right. Ask your question once, clear and simple, and listen to what the cards are tellin’ ya. And if you don’t like the answer, well, maybe you need to change something.
Now, some folks, they get all fancy with their card readings, talkin’ about symbolism and deep meanings. That’s all well and good, but sometimes, the simplest answer is the best. Don’t overthink it. Just look at the card, see what it makes you feel, and go from there. Trust your gut. It’s usually right.
And that’s about all I know about these yes or no tarot cards. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, just a plain ol’ woman sharin’ what I know. Take it or leave it, it’s up to you. But remember, the cards are just tools. The real power is in you.
