you are welcome and glad to hear you like what you read.

i looked up your deck and looks very close to the RW deck.  Most people recommend you learn with the RW deck because it is the easiest to learn but from how your deck looks, (assuming i found your deck) it's not as hard as it seems to learn because the images are so close to one another. so don't give easily about learning and getting to know your deck.    
try looking at the images of the card and tell a story and don't focus too much on the book's meanings... sometimes what you see and feel is more important then a book's definition. that's how a lot of tarot readers have learned or recommend that you learn the meaning of the cards.  when i try to learn from the book i just wasn't getting it, then i learned to read the cards with intuition and telling a story with the pictures. i was able to finally read the tarot with out going back and forth to the book during a reading.

I bought a book of meanings and I would look them up online as well and a lot of the times the meanings I found were nothing like what I thought they were. I just feel like its all written in Spanish to me.

If I am doing a reading my for myself if I try to read the meanings from the pictures how do I know I am not seeing it the way I want it?

Even in Spanish it all comes down to the human condition and how we react to it!   The Tarot can be our insight into the soul.    It already sounds like you are seeing things (intuition) in your cards so use your own interpretation rather then your book.  Books and online sources are helpful to learn the basic images and symbols and what they are but your own background and meanings will add a richer interpretation of the cards, if you ask me.  Cups aren't just something that holds water they are spiritual etc... wands are labor, swords are conflict, pentacles are money. And they more meanings then that.  We i did your reading tons of Pentacles in the beginning then it turn to cups.  money to a more spiritual or soul searching ideals etc.  so books help with those little meanings in the card.  If you see what i mean.      

It is hard to stay bias when doing your own reading which is why most will tell you not to do your own readings.  I tend to think you that you can do your own readings especially if you are just practicing and trying to learn.    Intuition is the key to seeing what is there and not what you want.  In turn, the Tarot can be used to hone your intuition as some believe Tarot is a good tool to do that.
