Hey everyone! I'm a beginner and I'm a bit confused about reversals. My first guide book says a reversed card is always the opposite of its upright meaning, but I've read in other places that it can mean a blocked energy or an internal issue. What are your personal rules for reading reversals? Do you interpret them differently depending on the card or the spread?
Reversal confusion - are they always negative?

It all depends on who you're reading for and the context of the reversed card in the reading. Example - if most of them are upside down, then perhaps you need to turn them the other way around for the reading to make sense. Reversals can also show the querant's fears - so ask yourself, is the person you're reading for nervous? If so, start again and shuffle the cards for them after taking a few deep breaths and focus on the question...what does ( the name of the person) need to know about ( what their inquiry is). There are no rules with reversals; trust your intuition as to how you read them. Blessings, dear sis-star!
