I’d appreciate anyone’s input on my method.
I ask the question and pull a single card. If I pull a maybe card, I pull again. If it’s another maybe card, I pull for the last time- if it’s a maybe again I get a big “You are not supposed to know this, stop!” message. If the first card is a maybe and the second card is a yes/no, I see it as a yes/no but more ambiguous. If the first two cards are maybes and the last card is a yes/no, I see it as it’s a yes/no currently but can be changed through magick or non magickal actions. If the first card is a yes/no, well that’s a certain answer.
Before I do my readings, I ask a question like “Are my eyes brown?” to see if my deck is accurate or not. Sometimes they need cleansing and such.
Now for my card interpretations as yes/no:
Fool - Yes but you need to take a risk or it’s a karmic situation you must go through
Magician - Massive YEEEEES, especially if it’s something someone has done spellwork on
High Priestess - Maybe
Empress - For love and prosperity related aka Venusian questions yes, otherwise yes leaning maybe
Emperor - Yes leaning maybe
Hierophant - Maybe
Lovers - For love related situations yes, otherwise maybe- you get to choose
Chariot - Maybe
Justice - Maybe
Hermit - Maybe
Wheel of Fortune - Yes
Strength - Yes but you will need to put in some effort
Hanged Man - Maybe
Death - No
Temperance - Maybe
Devil - No
Tower - No
Star - Yes
Moon - No
Sun - Yes
Judgement - Maybe
World - Yes
All the ace cards are big yesses, with wand being the fastest and the pentacle being the slowest. No questions asked, big conformation for me.

10 of cups - Yes
