reversal matrix

Reversed cards without fear

Reversal as process function: block, delay, inner layer, excess, or release.

01

Reversal as function

Reversal does not equal bad meaning. It may be block, inner work, delay, excess, lack, distortion, or release.

  • Before interpreting, identify the reversal function.
  • Do not frighten the client with reversals.
  • If reversals are many, read them as an inner map of the process.

Dialogue of upright and reversed

A strong answer shows which cards act openly and which turn inward, slow down, or ask for conscious reversal.

  • Upright cards: visible layer.
  • Reversed cards: inner or complicated layer.
  • Synthesis matters more than mechanical listing.
