Reading Tarot Cards
-
I know of one but I wasn't impressed with it and don't prefer to answer in that vein. I prefer "what do I need to know" and use a general spread (15 card) as usual - seeing the choices that could be made instead.
But... since you asked.
............1...........
2....3....4....5....61= Yes if upright, no if reversed (assuming you use reversals, otherwise this will not work)
2= Describes the question or issue
3= Past
4= Present
5= Future
6= AdviceOtherwise, no, I don't know any yes/no spreads. ;=)

I prefer** 3** card spreads -- Past, Present, Future -- Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis -- Condition, Obstacle, Resolution, etc. I have had more success with spreads like these than any other configuration.
With much Peace,

Depending on your level of expertise (in Tarot), you could set up the spread as, "Yes, No, and Result."
You examine the "Yes" card: Is it positve (or negative)? Could you see a 'banquet' opening before you, if this is your "Yes" card? Also, check the number of the card -- Even (yes) or Odd (no). Look up the meanings of the cards in Liber 777 and The Book of Thoth -- is this first card a GOOD "Yes" card?
Using the same procedure, examine the* "No"* card: Is it negative (or positve)? What do you see transpiring if this is your "No" card? Check out the meanings of the card and ask yourself if this is a GOOD "No" card.
Finally, examine the "Results" card in minute detail. If the "Yes" card was more powerful than the "No" card, what "Results" do you see down the road? And, if you believe the "No" card was the more powerful, what does this* "Results"* card mean? What "Results" does a "No" bring into your life?
You can learn a lot about your situation, about the predominant forces at play in your decision, and you can learn a LOT about yourself by doing such a 3-card spread. Sometimes, IMHO, too many cards in a spread can actually give us too much information about the past, present, and / or future, and we are no better off than if we had not consulted the cards at all. Why do many of us turn to the cards in the first place, for a 'simple' yes or no question? Because we have too much information, we are overwhelmed, and we can't see the answer, no matter what. By simplifying the spread, we simplify the amount of information we are 'drawing on' and this makes even the most difficult of questions easier to manage.
Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
