I'm new to the forum (although not to tarot in general), and I'm fascinated by the questions that people ask.
When I phrase a question to my deck, it's always in a form that relates to the querent. What do I/they need to know, where am I/are they, what does this mean (for me/them), how did I/they perform at a task, etc. My goal is to produce information that's useful in a context that can be acted on, basically. In contrast, I see a lot of questions on the reading clarification board referring to another person not directly involved in the reading ('what does this person think about X' or 'what will this person do', or for example).
What kind of questions do you routinely ask your cards? What kind of questions do people often ask you? Do you guide querent toward phrasing their questions to get answers that will help them act, or try to delve into the intent of a third party?
