Yes or No Tarot: Get a Direct Answer From One Card

The yes-or-no spread uses a single card to answer a direct question. Upright cards with positive energy lean towards yes, challenging or reversed cards lean towards no, and some cards suggest the answer is still forming.

The reading also explains why, so you understand what would need to change for the answer to shift.
