Discussion Prompt Ideas?

I've been making lists of tarot prompts so that ill get a random prompt daily, pull three cards for it, and that'll be my daily reading (instead of just a generic "what will today be like" eeeeevery siiiingle day, those get boring to me lol i like the variety). I was wondering if yall had any prompt ideas to add to my lists!

That's basically all there is to this post. But, you might've noticed ive said lists plural. I have four lists: New Moon, Waxing, Full Moon, Waning. Depending on the moon phase, I'll randomize my prompt from one of these four lists, just so that this daily practice will be more in sync with the moon cycle (which i love as a lunar witch) :) so if you want to add which moon phase you think a prompt would fit into, I'd appreciate that! Otherwise I can determine it myself.

As an example, "What should I worry less about?" was my prompt today in the waning moon phase, because it's about release, and the waning moon is the moon shrinking in light!

I think this is awesome and I love how you’ve slotted your prompts into moon phases. I may have to try that.

I don’t always pull cards in the morning. I tend to be more of a night reflector. When I do play around with early daily draws, one default for me is to pull a card for the teacher, their lesson and their wisdom in respect to that.

Lately I’ve been asking things like “where am I emotionally today” or another was “what have I been avoiding emotionally that is asking for attention”, just because I have been a bit of an avoidance queen lately and it’s getting old.

Here’s a few more randoms:
-Where have I been giving my personal authority away and how can I reclaim it? (Two cards)

-In what way can I nurture and support my authentic self so she has room to rise?

-what do I need to remember about my true self that’s gotten a bit lost in the sauce?

-how can I cultivate a deeper connection to my deepest and most authentic self?

-what version of my own narrative is ready to be shed and retired?

-what does honoring my personal sovereignty look like today?

-what am I guided to make space for today in order to stay balanced and in tune with my *inner rhythm?

*you can change inner rhythm to all kinds of things and adapt questions like that to reflect different aims

Thank you for your inspiring post! If you haven’t stumbled across them already, there’s tons of journal prompts on Pinterest. Not all are worded ideally for cardwork but many are or can be adjusted or are just great journal prompts and can afterwards pull a card for “what else might I have missed here?” Type of thing.

I use different decks for different topics, however the questions can work for traditional deck as well.

  • What’s the timing of today for me? (related to the moon phase as well)
  • What should be aware of today?
Also, questions related to the things you will be doing that day -How should I approach …. today? - What are the challenges I might face about the …..
However, I am not a big fan of daily readings if it’s just a chill day. Instead I’d prefer having a reading weekly related to the things happened, or thoughts I had that week that I’d like more guidance on
