Wait, What Was the Question Again?
Why Specific Questions Matter in Readings (and When Asking for a Sign)
You know how people say “there’s no such thing as a stupid question”?
Okay sure… but in tarot readings or when you’re asking the Universe for a sign — vague questions will get you vague answers.
I’ve seen this so many times!
Clients come in and say:
“I wanna know about my relationship.”
And I’m like, okay… but what about your relationship? Are you wondering if it’s the right one? If they’re cheating? If it’s time to move on?
Because the more specific your question, the more specific the answer. That’s how this works.
Same with the Universe. If you ask for “a sign,” but you don’t say what sign or what decision it’s tied to… don’t be surprised if everything suddenly feels like a “maybe.” It’s not that Spirit is playing games. It’s that you haven’t drawn the map.
So What Happens When You’re Vague?
In my experience?
Your reading becomes general advice instead of the clarity you were hoping for.
Don’t get me wrong — you’ll still get messages. But instead of zooming in on what’s really on your heart, the reading stays on the surface. It’s like Spirit is gently trying to say, “We can help you, but we need you to meet us halfway.”
Let me give you an example:
Compare this:
“Will I get married?”
With:
“What’s blocking me from building a committed relationship?”
The first question gives you a yes or no — which, let’s be honest, is not always useful on its own. The second question?
It actually opens up a conversation. It looks at what’s getting in the way. It helps you take action.
If You Don’t Know How to Ask — It’s Okay
Some clients feel nervous or don’t know what to ask. That’s totally fine!
If you come to me with just a feeling — like something’s off, or heavy, or confusing — I’ll help you find the question. We’ll shape it together.
Because the truth is, asking the right question is already half the healing. It’s you finally being honest with yourself. It’s you saying, “Okay, I’m ready to look at this.”
Let’s Talk Signs — and When They Get Mixed Up
Asking for signs from the Universe works the same way.
You’ve got to be specific. Crystal clear.
One time, I was in a full-on “I NEED ANSWERS” meltdown moment, and I said to my guides:
“Okay. If this is the right path for me, make my Grab car tomorrow red. And let it be an Axia.”
Now, that’s specific.
I didn’t check the app obsessively. I didn’t look for red cars all day.
I just waited.
The next day? The Grab car was the reddest Axia you could imagine. I was spooked. I said thank you, shook a little, and moved on.
That’s how signs work.
You ask clearly.
You wait.
You don’t go looking for signs everywhere hoping to force an answer. That’s just anxiety wearing a spiritual hat.
A Funny (and Very Real) Lesson on Asking Right
Okay, here’s one I’ll never forget:
I was at a funfair. I really wanted a big, fluffy octopus plushie — like the size of my torso kind of big.
So I told my guides,
“Please let me win the blue octopus plushie.”
And guess what?
I won it.
But… it was only slightly bigger than my palm.
Not quite the giant cuddle buddy I had in mind. I burst out laughing.
I was grateful — a win is still a win — but I also realised: I wasn’t specific enough.
Did I say I wanted the big blue octopus plushie? Nope.
I just said blue octopus. And Spirit delivered.
Lesson learned.
This altar is yours too!
Proof I wasn’t kidding 😂 This was the exact blue octopus I got — slightly bigger than my palm. Just divine humour (and excellent aim, apparently)
