I agree with Cascade on the Yes or No questions. After getting the answer......... then what? What is the querent going to do if it is a Yes or a No?

I believe yes/no questions simply suck! xD

But still, there are cards that refer specifically to health problems, at least in Marseilles, and you can see things like: blood problem, muscle problem and so on. When someone asks about the death of a loved one that means the other person is pretty bad so it's sometimes hard to refuse to answer these questions. Like I've said before regarding yes/no questions I try to guide the querent towards a solution. As Cascade said asking things like: what would happen if you do this or that? Can we trust this doctor? Maybe things like that but then, again, I prefer to begin any reading with a Tarot 101 and explain the querent that the cards are for guidance and that he/she is really the one that determines his/her fate.

Just my humble opinion ;)

Kaperuzita, what is Tarot 101?

Tarot 101???

hee, It's an expression xD. Usually, the introductory courses for a topic are 101, for example, English 101, Accounting 101 and so on. So, a Tarot 101 would be an explanation on the basics of Tarot for people not yet acquainted with it.

Maybe it's just an American expression....

"Tarot - The Infamous DEATH Card

Most individuals not exposed to tarot see this as a "bad" card to have appear in
their spread. However, the Death card simply means "the end of". A job or
relationship coming to a termination, arrival at a destined goal (the "end" of
the journey to accomplish said goal), or just possibly realizing something
negative in your life/personality and terminating it. Generally speaking the
Death card is actually a positive card to have appear in your reading."
