How Do You Ask Lenormand Questions?
When doing Lenormand readings, the questions you ask have a big impact on the outcome of your reading. They can affect everything from the answer the cards give to how easy it is for your to read a spread.
When you ask the right question, you will feel empowered and inspired during a reading. You will know what the cards are telling you and how to read them.
Quite simply, the more powerful of a question you ask when beginning a Lenormand reading, the better results you will have.
The question shapes your answers. Powerful questions give powerful, insightful, and accurate answers. Weak questions give weak, confused answers.
Here are some tips on how to ask Lenormand questions:
1. Ask Open-ended Lenormand Questions
Questions where there can only be one answer are closed-ended questions. They include questions with yes/no answers and questions of timing. Examples are “Will I get the job,” “Should I call my friend,” and “When will I meet my soulmate?”
While Lenormand is perfectly capable of answering these types of questions, they don't make for the best readings. They lack insight and details.
If you simply want a date or a fast yes or no answer, then a close-ended question is perfectly acceptable.
However, if you want to experience the true beauty and insight that a Lenormand reading can give you, then open-ended questions work best.
Open-ended questions are questions based on how, what and why. Examples are “How can I get the job,” “What will happen if I call my friend,” and “Why haven't I met my soulmate?”
2. Clearly Address the Issue
One of the most popular questions people like to ask involves what their next relationship or soulmate will be like.
While a Lenormand reading can certainly answer this question in detail by giving information about physical appearance, behavior, and so on, stop for a moment and consider whether this is really the question on your mind. After all, having the cards tell you that your next relationship is with someone who is tall with brown hair doesn't narrow things down much.
Instead, you might want to consider asking a more direct and specific question that really gets into the issue at hand.
Using the relationship example, some questions that more specifically address the issue include:
- How will you recognize your partner?
- What do you need to do in order to be ready to meet him or her?
- How will you know if he/she is the right person for you?
- What is preventing you from meeting him/her?
- How do you overcome what is blocking you from meeting him/her?
- What do you need to know about your next relationship?
You can use similar questions for finding a job, a house, investments, and so forth.
3. Don't Limit Yourself to One Question
In Lenormand readings, questions are usually followed by more questions.
Even though the cards will provide a lot of information with the first question, it's okay to ask more questions.
But remember each question will need another spread. That's just how Lenormand works.
You may want to do a short 3- or 5-card spread to answer follow-up questions. Sometimes just a single card can provide you with all the answers you need.
If you look at the bulleted list of questions directly above under “2. Clearly Address the Issue,” each of those questions could easily be follow-up questions.
Your Formula for How to Ask Lenormand Questions
You can turn these tips into a formula for asking powerful questions in your Lenormand readings: ask open-ended questions, clearly address the issue, and keep asking questions until you have all the answers you need.
If you follow it, you should quickly see improved answers and results in your Lenormand readings.

Great question for spreads! Thanks for sharing!
This is a pretty helpful article. I’ve been interested in checking out how to do lenormand readings. I’d like to pair it with my tarot readings that I offer and this was a very helpful guide on asking the appropriate lenormand questions. It seems the questions are more or less the same as you might ask Tarot. Thanks for the article!
Hi Andrew, I’m glad the article helped. You’re right that questions are asked in the same way as Tarot. I think that might be the only similarity in readings. Have fun learning Lenormand!
I did a pair reading for myself and I asked the question “will my first born be a son”
I received the scythe and the child.
What could this mean? I just need a second opinion.
Hi! Thank you for all the amazing content you share on your site, it’s truly wonderful! When asking follow-up questions, do you need to put the cards you already have on the table back in the deck or do you set them aside and only use the remaining?
I always put all of the cards back in the deck.
I was thinking the same thing, otherwise you’re missing information! And some of the cards you’ve drawn already might be needed to answer follow-up questions. Thanks so much!
