20 Tarot Prompts (for when you don't know what to ask the cards)
“Are tarot prompts coming for September?” … “When are you doing a tarot challenge again?”… “WHY NOT?”

First of all, the response to August 2020’s Tarot Challenge was so overwhelmingly nice! (Thanks, guys). I got a lot of messages on the 1st of September asking whether new tarot prompts would be coming up. And while I posted a “how to make your own tarot prompts” tutorial on IG Stories, some people were not-so-enthusiastic about it. LOL.
Because I have a new deck by my friend Mikko, I decided to give it a spin by using Mga Baraha to write 20 brand new tarot prompts to help fuel your pulls. Do them everyday, every other day, pick and choose, it’s up to you. Use these tarot prompts to build accountability for yourself, to train yourself to carve out a tarot habit that works for you (and your schedule), and have fun.
PS: If you haven’t gotten this Pinoy playing card deck for yourself yet—what are you waiting for? ;)
