I am new to tarot and still exploring but i have noticed that when i use a computer softwear program almost ALL of my cards are reversed . Does anyone know the signifiance of this , if any ?

Hi cdo,

There is a significant differance regarding cards reversed in my interpritation. Seeing as you are new to Tarot, it's a choice you need to make, whitchever way you want to read. only upright or combined. I read with reversed and their subsequent meanings. For you to get going nicely, join the Tarot learn forum.

Blessed be

Hello cdo

I do not personally believe in computerised tarot reading, albeit I have gone that route myself in my time.
There is a wondeful course on this site and I invite you to join it along with all of us - because we are all learning here... it is such a deep topic that the journey itself is a pleasurable and insightful one.

Have fun.

Hallo!

I find reversed amplify greatly the meanings, although it is true that you can get the same meaning through several cards, both upright and reversed. In fact, I sometimes find myself confronted with a Celtic Cross in which most cards seem to be shouting the same message, as if that message had been ignored for a long time.

Also, when first looking at a spread, a great amount of cards upside down usually give a strong impression of blocks, of not being able to tune into the real potentials. But in a normal reading -say, half upright and half reversed-, some of the reversed can mean getting out of sticky or long standing not very positive situations, so they are very welcome sometimes. And even when they stand for a block, they usually point to ways in which they can be unblocked, or to potentials usually ignored by the querent.

As for a sign., I sometimes use it as a minimeditation for the seeker and me to try and define where they are at the moment, but I always wonder if that card would have turned up in the spread and we're preventing it from giving us its more spontaneous message. Has anyone ever felt this?
