Sometimes I get tired of always asking the heavy stuff. I’ve been trying to come up with more playful questions for my daily draws.
Yesterday I asked my deck “What kind of pizza topping would I be?” and pulled The Empress. Apparently I’m extra cheese, which kind of fits. My friend asks her cards things like “What would my pet be thinking right now?” or “Which TV show character am I channeling today?”
It keeps things fun and low-pressure. My deck seems to play along with it.

Sometimes, maybe silly questions work better.
I used to ask my deck stuff like ‘will I have a good day?’ and never got much from it. Now I ask weird things like ‘what superhero power am I channeling today?’ and the readings make more sense. probably because I’m not stressing about the answer when it’s just for fun.
You could try asking ‘what energy am I bringing to the room today?’ instead of yes/no questions. You might get better results.
This is such a fun idea. I’ve been doing readings for fictional characters lately, pulling cards to see what might happen after their story ends. It becomes a creative exercise where you’re essentially writing fanfiction with tarot.
Plus, you start noticing things about the cards you hadn’t seen before.
Instead of asking “What will happen with X?” I’ve been asking stuff like “What do I need to know about X right now?” or “What am I not seeing about this situation?” It lets the Tarot actually guide me (which it wants to do).
For daily pulls, I like “What energy should I bring to today?” Way better than generic future predictions. Sometimes I’ll ask “What would [specific person in my life] want me to know?” when I’m thinking about someone.
My favorite for decision making is pulling three cards: one for what happens if I do the thing, one for if I don’t, and one for what I’m not considering.
What would my pet tell me if they could talk?
What’s the universe’s sense of humor trying to tell me?
What would my younger self think of me now?
What would happen if I actually replied to that text?
What’s my most annoying habit according to the cards?
What TV show describes my love life?
What would my ex’s new partner want to know about me?
Been experimenting with asking my cards random stuff lately. My teacher mentioned that playful questions can help with intuitive hits. Some decks just vibe better with the lighter questions, you know?
I know questions like this could probably add depth and guidance… but I asked the cards what topping I should get on my pizza once.
What if we asked: ‘What am I already seeing that contains the seeds of my joy?’ The answers are usually right there in the spread we’ve already pulled.
When you’re dealing with real stuff like quitting your job or figuring out where to put your money, the playful spreads don’t really cut it. You need something more traditional and structured. The whole vibe changes when there’s something on the line.
funny how silly questions work better sometimes. people get all defensive with serious stuff but if you ask something dumb they’ll just tell you straight up
Been doing this thing at my coffee shop where I match tarot cards to drinks for people. Kind of silly but the regulars seem to like it. Someone came in yesterday asking what latte matched their day. Drew the Two of Pentacles and went with caramel macchiato. The balance of sweet and bitter seemed right for that card.
I love doing pet readings, but sometimes they feel more like I’m seeing my own emotions rather than anything about my pet. When I ask the cards what my dog thinks, the responses often match my own anxieties or hopes.
It might be interesting to ask questions that focus on our bond, such as ‘What energy does my pet bring to my life today?’ This approach keeps things lighthearted while also recognizing that tarot is most effective when we’re honest about who is really asking the questions.
