As a tarot learner I am trying to keep this in mind. It really can be helpful.
The card interpretations can be a little intimidating at times. I try to balance the meaning of cards with both positive and negative associations. The downside is this, while the upside is this.
On rare occasions, you sometimes get a spread that is all negative, and there is no other way to interpret the cards or put a positive spin on them. It's just a bad situation. These instances are usually rare though.
It's also important to look at the surrounding cards and how they interact with the negative card or cards.
When dealing with reversals, I tend to use the upright meaning just to a lesser degree. Sometimes if most of the cards are upright, I may even ignore the reversal, unless the reversed card seems to be directly correlated to the question. That's just how I was taught though.
Since last year's October 10th, it is the time that my best friend gave me the cards as birthday present, I am trying to balance everything. The cards can be all bad or can be all good. I think the important thing is the balance above all of the meaning and all.
I came across all bad for me and she told me if I want to continue she can try it but I refused for the sake of what I believe.
And for the revelsals I do remind myself both side of the meanings. It is a slow process right now since I amnot that used to it but better than nothing.
Thank you for all of these messages, I put these on my notebook for my daily reminder. 🖤
