BTP11: How to Ask Powerful Questions

They say that the way to get powerful answers is to ask powerful questions. And that's certainly true of the Tarot. You see, asking the right questions in your Tarot readings is absolutely critical to discovering the right answers – answers that help you shape your future and manifest your goals and dreams. When we ask meaningful questions, we get meaningful answers. And similarly, when we ask trashy questions, we get trashy answers. So how do we ask good questions? That's what I'm going to cover in this episode of the Biddy Tarot Podcast. I'll discuss: Why yes/no questions limit the potential of the Tarot cards Why you need to get to the heart of the question for the best insights How to turn any question (even the most cringe-worthy ones!) into a powerful question for the Tarot Let's get into it…   Show Notes: TF2: Read Tarot with Confidence
