How to Read Reversed Cards

A reversed card does not mean 'bad'. Often it is delay, inner side, shadow, or excess of a quality.

Four gentle keys

Read a reversed card as: block, inner process, excess, or hidden layer. Choose the key by spread position and neighboring cards.

Do not frighten

A reversal should not become a threat. Even a difficult card should leave the person a safe next step.

Short checklist

  • Read the position first.
  • Then the card.
  • Then the neighbors.
