The Yes or No Spread (with 1 card) – Tarot Reading

In this chapter of the tarot course, we will see the Yes or No spread with 1 card, beginner and advanced level. This is a basic Tarot spread and is a simple one-card spread that reveals the answer to a question that is answered with yes or no.

The Yes or No reading is a very popular tarot spread due to its simplicity. In the Yes or No Tarot, everything is summarized in a simple spread of cards, which answers a very concrete and specific question.

It is a simple reading, it is useful to simply know if this or that event is going to happen. For example, is such and such a thing good for me, does my boyfriend love me, will I pass my exam, will I get a raise, etc.?

The answer is resolved with a YES or a NO. It is NEVER INTERPRETED, it only gives you a YES or NO as an answer, but this depends on the tarot reader.

In other words, there are two currents, some tarot readers consider that the answers that this spread usually gives are too simple and that is the grace.

This is because, as its name indicates, we will only get a positive or negative answer to the question we ask in our spread. In other words, there is no interpretation of the cards that appear in the spread.

On the contrary, other tarot readers say that the card that comes out usually gives many more clues and interpretations. Others, that with clairvoyance, they receive the necessary information.

What is true is that there are no doubts, the objective of the spread is to receive a clear and timely response, which reduces the possibility of making any incongruous interpretation.

And if there is an interpretation, or additional reading, it depends on the tarot reader, her desire and skill. This is a highly recommended Tarot Card Spread for beginners who want clear results when it comes to the Tarot Cards.
