How to Make A Yes-No Tarot Spread Personal

Asking the tarot yes-no questions is typically frowned upon when you ask about it. You’re told that you should ask more open ended questions. But the truth is- we all still do our own yes-no tarot spread.

This is mine.

Getting started with this method might seem a bit weird, but just go with me on it.

I first read about this method years ago. I call it ‘Finding the Aces’. After using it for a while, it felt impersonal- so I put my own spin on it and made it a lot more personal to me.

Finding the Aces Method Overview

The general concept is that you shuffle and flip cards in 3 piles until you get to a certain number of cards or you find an ace. Easy. Done. Viola!

The results are pretty simple too.

No Aces- Nope. Not going to happen.

1 Ace- Highly unlikely.

2 Aces- Possibly. Maybe.

3 Aces- You betcha! Absolutely.

But it felt like something is missing.

How I Personalized this Yes-No Tarot Spread

The first thing that I did was I changed the number of cards per pile from 13 to one of my birth cards. My birth cards are 5 (Hierophant) and 14 (Temperance), so I chose 14.

If you don’t know what your tarot birth cards are, you can check out the post I wrote on ithere.

Now when I start making my piles I put cards into a pile until I find an Ace or I hit 14 cards in the pile. Then I move onto the next pile and repeat until I have 3 piles of 14 or less.

The second thing that I did to personalize this method is instead of reading the answer strictly based on the number of Aces that flip over. I also use it as a 3 card reading.

Example:

For example I pull the Ace of Swords, Emperor, and The World. I would see this as a probably not (based on the single Ace).

I like to read the spread using the following prompts:

Why is this the Ace that showed up? What is specific about this Ace?

What feeling do the other cards have? Positive? Negative? Neutral?

Do they support the guidance of the Ace? Do they contradict it?

Then I read the spread as a typical 3 card spread as if I was asking for guidance regarding the matter. Instead of “will XXX happen?” it’s more like “what do I need to know about XXX?” or “what if XXX?”
