Hello, Diana! I read recently that sometimes readers interpret reversed tarot cards as inwardly directed or weakening energy, rather than as the upright card's direct opposite. Is this something you've seen/heard of before? Do you have any opinions on this way of reading. Have a great day!

How to Read Reversals in Tarot

Any given reversed card can mean one of three: the opposite of the upright, the upright watered down, and the upright made bad or worse.

To illustrate:

If The Devil upright is “addiction”, reversed it is “overcoming addiction” — the opposite.

If the Nine of Cups is “fulfillment”, reversed it is “fulfillment delayed” — watered down.

If the Seven of Swords upright is “manipulation”, reversed it is “betrayal” — made worse.

For every reading, your intuition will tell you which one applies. But remembering these tried-and-tested lists would also be wise:

Dinner

Sometimes

I make the mistake

Of visiting your secrets

In my mind and otherwise.

I pick you apart and taste you -

A dish to cover my palate.

New and risky flavors,

Tantalizing textures

I’m not familiar to.

I crave you.
