reading request I got...

[gorgeousbutterfly]

i'm speechless.

"Will my relationship now flourish to the next level."

obviously the person feels they are not in control of their destiny, right? how do I answer? Only one card reading.

 

[Muir Aingeal]

You're only doing a one card reading for that question? I don't see what is wrong with that question myself. I would use more than one card though.

 

[jantigercat]

For me, one card would be enough as there are different factors that would influence the outcome.

They are not fully in control when it comes to relationships. It takes two to tango.

 

[thorhammer]

Can you help them rephrase - e.g. "What can I do to help my relationship flourish to the next level?" with an accompanying spiel about learning to take control of your life and Tarot not giving set-in-stone answers, blah-de-blah.

[DaisyDragonfly]

I agree with Kat. The original question is too passive; make it active, and the reading will zing to life.

 

[SarahRacheal]

It seems to answer that question you would need a yes no spread, hard with one card but not impossible.
In all fairness though I agree with Kat, the question really needs turned around to something a little more empowering to the quarrent.

 

[Jaqueline]

I think this kind of question is common - most of the world is interested in relationship stuff. But, it's difficult cause it's a "yes-no", so reword, yes. I would probably start with one card, & then do a clarifier or two.

 

[gregory]

I'd do like Kat but rephrase - "What can I do to take it to the next level ?"

I have NO problems with one-carders.

 

[Le Fanu]

Surely "what do I need to know about the next phase of my relationship?" is less passive? All relationships have phases, so no harm done.

One carders are fine. I use them for everything

And I'm a great fan of the "what do I need to know" format. So much more open-ended...
