    • Lanyadoo considers a yes or no tarot card reading something that occurs when a person “asks questions of the tarot that require a yes or no answer. Any question that kind of forces an answer like ‘yes, this will work’/‘no, this won't work’ or ‘yes, we'll get back together’/‘no, we won't get back together’ falls under a yes or no tarot reading.” [7]
