How to interpret yes/no tarot
In yes/no tarot, each card carries an inherent energy — some lean towards expansion and affirmation, others towards caution and blockage, and several sit in a liminal space of "not yet." The Fool leans towards yes because of its core archetypal energy: beginnings, spontaneity, innocence, potential, adventure. When reading yes/no tarot, consider the card's upright energy as the primary signal, and allow your intuition to sense whether that energy feels amplified or muted in your current situation.
