What does it mean if a Tarot reading doesn't answer my question?

One explanation is that your subconscious is so excited about being 'free' that it forces a more pertinent answer to fall in front of you. So you may get what you need, but not necessarily what you wanted.

A second explanation could be the strange interplay of the collective consciousness. As a reader, I have found that I am often going through (or have recently gone through) the situations that my querants ask about.

In reading for them, I get a clearer answer for and of myself. In a way, the querant’s and my energies mix. The goal of Spirit is for the greatest good; so, if we share a common issue then the law of 'greater good' comes into play.

Spirit wants BOTH of us to be happy, and if we both need information on a similar subject then it is best for us both if I read the issue that comes out.

And a third explanation could be that the seemingly unrelated issue brought out is a part of the problem. Work on the issue presented, and you will find a solution to your problem.

Those are three possibilities. I am sure there are many more. When you read a spread that comes out this way, you can always draw a card or two (called clarification cards) and ask how the issues are related or why the cards presented this issue instead of the one you asked. Let the cards answer for themselves, so to speak.
