How did you program your cards? Do you program each deck separately?

My Yes/No Cards
Owlface
Thank you, fudogazi, for these. I never used to ask Yes/No questions but recently, your guide has been proving very useful. As you say, no guide can be 100 per cent accurate, and sometimes we need to go deeper with a spread, but my experience with these is : They are far more accurate than i would have suspected.

Aces Meaning Yes
When you say all the Aces are Yes, with varying degrees of speed, could you say more ? Which is the speediest, and so on ?

This is a very interesting way to approach yes/no! I love it.
I usually use a 3-card spread and remove any 2 minors from the deck. Then majors and court cards are "yes" and pips are "no." I usually also consider the middle card twice, so that it's possible for there to be a "tie," which means maybe. I got this method from one of Mary Greer's books I think, but she uses reversals instead of majors vs. minors. I don't use reversals, so I adapted it.
I like the idea of assigning yes/no meanings to the individual cards better, though. It gives a whole new dynamic to yes/no...some indication of "why."

Agree with Death = no. It's a really negative card for me generally.

I've been using your meanings as my own, when I try yes/no questions, although I tend to forget to make a note of the cards and the result. I might get a small notebook for that.
Before I found this thread, last year, I'd asked a question and had two cards fall out, that seemed like they might be a yes: the 9 of cups, and the World. It ended up being a no, though (this is over, forget about it).

hi, Can any one tell me why queen of pentacles is a No?
sitna
Uhm the queen of pentacles, tough one. It depends on the question I would say. Queen's do make thing real, which would be a yes, but I need to suit the ideas of the pentacles; so steady, slow, realistic.
By the way, I see the wands of 7 as a big yes. Go through the fear and just do it! You'll win the fight.

thanks, maybe it says be realistic about the matter of your question and forget about it.

I always try and frame a yes/no question as clearly, and as positively, as I can.
So for instance, if I'm wondering whether the company I contacted the other day will have a positive response, I will ask these kind of questions:
Will I get what I want from Company X?
Do I need to do anything else in order to obtain it?
(if the answer to that is "yes", I would then draw cards in a spread to see what I should do.)
I avoid questions like: Does the fact I've not heard from Company X mean they are not considering me?
It's not perfect, but it works far more often than not. Yes/ No questions act as clarifiers for me, they never replace full spreads to look at the ins and outs of a situation.
Thank you so much for this Sophie, now I don't have to use reversals (not that I ever did, but that's another story)
