Draw a card

Ask open questions, not yes/no ones. A card can't cleanly answer "will X happen" — it speaks in angles and patterns, not verdicts. Try "what should I focus on with X" or "what's really going on here" instead.

• Good: "What do I need to see about this decision?"
• Good: "What's underneath how I've been feeling about work?"
• Avoid: "Will I get the promotion?" or "Does he like me?"
• Avoid: questions about someone else's private choices, exact dates, or anything better answered by a doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor
