Some nights you open the chat, close it, and open it again. If you just ask tarot "should I text them?", the answer often comes out vague. Change the question a little and the cards get much clearer.
Rephrase the question
- "Should I text them?" → "If I reach out now, what mood will it lead to?"
- "Will they reply?" → "How do they think of me these days?"
- "Do I lose if I text first?" → "What should I be careful about if I make the first move?"
Questions about the flow and advice, rather than yes or no, make better use of the pictures on the cards.
Cards that say "go ahead"
Ace of Wands A hand holds out a staff from the clouds. The spark of a new start. Your first message is what opens things up.
The Magician Every tool is already on the table. What you need is already in your hands. If you know what you want to say, now is good.
The Sun A bright, honest card. A light, cheerful message lands well right now.
Cards that say "wait a little"
Temperance Water poured slowly between two cups. Adjust the pace. If you do reach out, start short rather than with a long, heavy message.
The Hermit A lone figure holding a lantern. They may need some time alone. Letting a few days pass is also an option.
Four of Swords A knight lying at rest. This is a time to rest. A message sent after the feelings settle comes across better.
In the end, you press send
The cards can give you a push or hold you back for a moment, but the decision is yours. Whatever card appears, write down what you actually want to say first and you will have fewer regrets. More on asking good questions in how to ask tarot better questions.
