As you may have read I refer to the majors as being the stage and producers of a play.
These triumphs are the main rulers in tarot, not only do they show persons of great significance in your life or sides to your own personality, they also reviled what stage, chapter you are in right now in your life.
When reading for your self or others for that matter, it could be of great help to draw a signification card, using a card from the majors, as the over all card telling you what the spread and reading is all about. What energies you should go for in the reading.
This you can choose to do by randomly pick a card from the majors or you can simply pick out the one that speaks to you.
Of course this method is used by some and then again not by just as many – always remember first rule in tarot – what ever feels good for you.
If you find majors reversed in your spread they should properly be read as that position being out of balance, though this very much depends on how many reversed there is in total and what other cards is around.
A major always over rule other cards in its environment, so if you get one reversed major and like 3 up right minors, then it could be the minors you should read reversed and not the major.
Many readers that have the experience in reading both with and with out reversals claims, as it is the truth, that you will feel what is the right thing to do. If you feel stuck trying to read the cards the way they are “supposed” to, because this is up right and this is not, then just make the story how ever it comes first to your mind, that will most likely be the story you could not find in the first place.

21 - The World:
The World is the fulfilled circle. This is so profound and so incomprehensible, as everything and nothing is represented by this card. As it closes the majors and there by the journey of the Fool it also opens a new chapter and new task in life and starts a new circle.
In
reverse you get a combination of the hanged man and Wheel of Fortune -
you being this misunderstood outsider that just keeps falling of the
wheel, seems like you can not fit in anywhere. Whatever you plan to do
or accomplish to do - it just does not feels right or being accepted
from the outside world, the outcome not being what you expected - this
ever going feeling of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Now
in everyday life situations this is not very admirable - I mean who
wants to live like that?
But think of Columbus, Nostradamus, Einstein, Freud, DaVinci, VanGogh,
Jung, Darwin, Mozart - I could go on for ages - I bet that this card
in reverse describes their lives perfectly - not being recognized and
appreciated in life.
The World in reverse tries to predict or foretell something about a
truly great skill or talent - giving an insight of the consequences in
living it out - telling that you are way ahead of your time and that
you might end up "alone and misunderstood" - giving you the
choice, showing you the abilities and let you make the decision. It is
kind of "loose your soul to gain the world" thing.

20 - Judgment:
Usually when Judgment blows the horns and send out the invitation to a transcendence there are promises in the air of a second chance.
Though when Judgment shows reversed, it is blowing out a warning about you taking the next step before you finished what you started yesterday.
Just as it is not healthy for the present to bring the baggage along from the past it is not healthy to all together neglecting dealing with the past and blindly just moving on.
Everything in life has its right place and right time, in order to get the most out of this natural balance it is crucial that you work the issues in life in the right order.
It is properly more interesting to see what tomorrow brings that to deal with what yesterday left, though it is necessary to finish of before starting something new.
Proof to your self that you are cable of finishing what you are starting.
[Top]
19 - The Sun:
The Sun is a joyful card, as the naked child rides the white horse into the warmth of the sun, waving his red banner in victory that he finally found the path in life he was looking for all this time, that he has managed to claim that last great wall and now finally being free and on his own.
Though The Sun reversed reminds us that with every sun rise there will also come a sun set, so you should not just lay back and enjoy, happiness and life does not happen while just watching it. It needs constantly nourishment and taking care of.
Like if you do not remember to feed the horse, it will not take long before it collapses and no longer will be able to carry you to your destination.
Meaning that, yes you are on the right track here, though be careful that you do not get to lazy thinking you have reached your goals, the circle has not ended yet.
[Top]
18 - The Moon:
As the Moon is already a ”shadow” card when upright, telling about hidden factors, possible deceive and moon struck behaviours then the reversed meaning should get a bit more of a positive view.
Though it is hard to see what is hidden in the shades of the moon as everything is grey in moonlight we do know for sure, that after the moon comes the sun. So maybe we do not know what the deal is right away but it will show shortly and make us able to deal with it.
The way I see the Moon is that some one is just following the rest of the moon sick pack, howling against the moon for no other purpose than that is what all the others are doing.
This relating to persons could be that instead of sticking up for their own believes doing what they want to do, they just follow the herd and do what ever they do to fit in the group.
Maybe what lies hidden in the moon shade is that you are afraid to show true colors and just be your self.
[Top]
17 - The Star:
The Star as Temperance is teaching us how to temper and balance things in life. The difference here is that The Star is merging heart and mind in somewhat a divine way.
As the woman in the card is all naked, she to me seems rather vulnerable to gossip and lies from the bird sitting in the tree in back.
When Star shows reversed there is an imbalance in heart and mind, sort of like with the Chariot, though here how to deal with it is with calmness and warmth, do not throw a fist and think you are going to win this one with a hard-fought battle.
Like Strength there is here needed for inner strength and understanding, try temper the arguments with a smile and kindness.
The Star reversed reminds us in one card what takes 2 uprights that there are 2 kinds of strength in each of us, just because one does not yell and make big gestures does not mean they are not strong in heart.
[Top]
16 - The Tower:
The Tower show us the dangers in building up illusions and make believes that wont be able to stand trial with real life.
What I miss in the Waite-Smith card as I also has illustrated in the Tower I did my self, is the fog that needs lifted in order to see the foundation the Tower – our life – is build upon.
When The Tower shows reversed to me it shows some one who is creating chaos just for the sake of it, that they like building up illusions and then all of a sudden tare them down, just to see the reactions they will get from this.
It also tells me, or assure me, that once The Tower has tumbled and dealt with the immediate chaos that inevitable will bring, lighter times are ahead, you will get the opportunity to do some spring cleaning in your life and environment, take only with you what is real and what is good for you, leave the broken bricks and build some new ones, that will give you a more solid and healthy foundation.
[Top]
15 - The Devil:
You have been feeling spiritual, almost divine, however now you feel bound, restricted of your own limitations on how you should be and how you think others view you and think you should be.
This had caused you to feel chained, leaving you to think that you should stay this way for ever, not realizing that it is up to you to make the decisions, to remove these chains you are carrying.
Maybe the difficulties you are facing in this situation is not so much the morality of what you want as the figuring out what it is you want. Follow your heart and think with your head, the devil does not chain you with out your permission.
[Top]
14 - Temperance:
Temperance is the one teaching us how to balance and temper the waters. Looking rational on our feelings and actions and combining them in a common sense, so it all reaches a higher understanding.
When Temperance is showing in reverse, there is some bad tempered emotions running wild. Maybe the reason for this is not at all that clear as one would think it to be.
Maybe you are acting on gossip you have half heard half being told, though this is not necessary the true version if you would dig a bit deeper for the truth.
The waters of emotion and understanding are merging in one big pot of steamy fog, where things needs tempered all right though in order to this you will need to get the fog lifted so you will become able to see what this is all about.
[Top]
13 - Death:
When Death sweeps his scythe across the lands it is time for major changes to appear in life. Death brings transformations that is necessary for making place for renewals.
Death tells us that changes happens as a part of life, circles ends and new ones begins all the time.
When Death shows reversed this could indicate an unhealthy stagnation in life, that the one read for is not moving anywhere.
This could be that you brings tomorrow’s sad and hurting history with you to the present effecting the future.
That you for some reason can not let go of past, and when it is Death showing this, then it does have a major impact in creating a prosperous future for you self.
Maybe you are fighting changes so hard that you feel like everything just fades away in your hands, that you do not seem to be able to grow anything.
You need to look at your past, deal with it and let it go, you can not change yesterday, only live today so tomorrow have greater memories.
[Top]
12 - The Hanged Man:
The Hanged Man is the major dividing the physical and psychic world. He has learned all the rules and teachings and now has free willingly hanged him self for deeper understanding on his own possibilities and potentials.
In order to gain wisdom and insight, to learn the truth, it might take a lot of pain, physically and emotionally. The truth is not always the nicest to hear, though to gain full prosperity in life, it is necessary to face it and learn how to deal with it.
The Hanged Man reversed is about hanging your self for others, maybe you are sacrificing you own health, wisdom or even life happiness to keep everybody else pleased.
Or it could be that you only feel it that way, like a martyr that wants to get hanged because of the good deeds you have done, though maybe they are or have been for egoistical reasons and there for you are not receiving the appreciation you feel entitled to get.
The reversed Hanged Man could be reminding you that you need grounding and action, do not just hang there and feel miserable, do something about it.
Do not feel sorry for your self, make a difference, a change in your life that will make you happy.
[Top]
11 - Justice:
Justice is about putting things on a scale, balance is needed, equality of the oppositions. When Justice shows up reversed, there is defiantly an imbalance in the scales.
Injustice is being served.
I am having a real hard time standing objective in this matter,
it is all to close to me.
I do not seem to be able to cut through here and rule in the name
of justice.
Seems no matter how I handle this someone will get hurt by the
outcome.
I feel mistreated and wrongly accused. Why ca not they understand
that I did not do it ?
Someone is being treated with unfairness here, if I am the one
doing it - it might be because I am jealous. It could be me being
treated with unfairness, someone is trying to make me do something I do
not want to do.
[Top]
10 - Wheel of Fortune:
The Wheel of Fortune I always like to see as the Wheel of Life. The wheels are spinning making the world go round, the 4 apostles watching over us and the guardian of the wheel making sure that everything is kept in its right place.
The Wheels tells us where we belong in life, what place on the wheel that will make us feel fulfilled and happy.
When the Wheels comes reversed, then the danger of being off track or being on the wrong path is very likely.
Reminding us that we need to make the decisions we face in life on our own terms, facing responsibilities of our actions and choices.
If we let others or our own restrictions and hesitations rule what our decisions will be, then finding our path and right place in life will be very hard. Not only must we consider others happiness in the choices and paths we make and follow, we also have to remember what feels good in our hearts.
Many times it is misunderstood that one should foremost consider others while choosing direction and path, as it is well known that with out being pleased with the results your self, then you will not be able to make others happy no matter how you try to purchase happiness and harmony.
[Top]
9 - The Hermit:
The Hermit is the one stepping out of action and taking time for him self, to seek and gain knowledge o f the situation and life in general. He understand the need we all have for time out and time for our selves.
Thinking of the play I have mentioned some times before, The Hermit is the author. You wont see him around, though you can be sure that he has the whole play in his head, knowing exactly where and how he wants it acted out.
When The Hermit comes reversed, then it is time to seek out in the world for new inspiration. We always are told that we should take time for our selves and seek with in to get the answer, though here this might not be the best solution in hand.
The situation you are trying to deal with here you might need others view on, you having a hard time facing facts and getting second opinions or professional help – you need to seek out and face life in stead of hiding in your mind.
Another angle to the reversed Hermit could be the simple fact that you have to much going on, too much noise in your life, parents screaming at you, children screaming at you, living in a big city with lot of noise, the Hermit then could just point out to you, that you are having a hard time hearing your own thoughts.

8 - Strength:
I feel suppressed by a force there is not in my nature to surrender to.
I feel being manipulated by someone I would usually just brush aside like yesterdays news, but somehow they seem to have a strong hold on to me, that I can't escape.
If inner strength is turned upside down you would get outer strength. Viewing the card it is the lion who have that power. The maiden is using foul play here to get the lion to do what it's not its nature to do - surrender - if any it would kill her for trespassing his territory.
Viewing the
story in strength it is telling that you have been your way, your
natural way always. It is in your nature to be that person.
Now you feel that you are being manipulated into change, giving you a
hard time to figure out why you should change, since this is not causing
you any troubles with in, you don't see the point.
The Lion is being changed for the pleasure of the maiden, so maybe you should ask your self, why this has become an issue for you.
Others take on this card:
Makes me think of someone in a situation of chaos, acting out in over-controlling matters.
Or even someone having a case of too much self-control which will make him/her sick.
Things like lack of self-confidence, self-esteem, will-power => rely on others instead of believing in own self.

7 - The Chariot:
When The Chariot rules the stage there is no arguments strong enough that can keep it from conquering the world. This is raw muscles and heartfelt courage ruling.
The Chariot divide and conquers, there is no maybes in this dictionary, it is all black and white.
The ones represented by the Chariot are very strong minded people who never sees the day they will not fight for what they believe in and rule out any who dares to disagree.
When Chariot is reversed it tumbles. The before so firm control in heart and mind got out of reach, now the warrior feels tarred apart, not knowing whether he should follow his heart or if he should stick to logic and hard facts.
There is the possibility that you let to many others rule your life, telling you what you should do and how you should feel about it. Letting life merge into gray zones, where it all clutter up and it is hard to find the true picture of the situation.
The reversed Chariot reminds us, that even if it is beautiful to see all nuances and sides to every story, sometimes to make a decision and consider your self, it is necessary to divide the world in black and white.
Have the courage to say no and the heart to say yes, all in its proper place to do so.
[Top]
6 - The Lovers:
The situation I was facing I truly thought to be all that. However I still feel the need to have some light shed on the details.
I can not say yes to this with all my heart, but then again I am not all together ready to reject it with a firm no. I think I will stick to a maybe for time being.
I feel there is a cloud that need to be lifted before I can think clearly and make my decision,
I am not on the right path here - whether it is because of me or the other party, something is not out in the open here. We do not commit our selves 100 %.
I feel rejected; seems that what ever I set my heart to it just does not feel right, I can not see it through all though I thought it was what I wanted.
Who ever I fall in love with it does not seem that they would ever feel the same way - I feel rejected from and by love.
Am I the one rejecting love ? Am I the one not giving 100% ?
I have a past hanging over me that I have not dealt with, this is keeping me from living life to its fullest.
Others take on this card:
there is no unity, you find disharmony in a relation with someone or within yourself, in actions brought about by for instance having sex without relating, self centeredness in relating. no growth in emotional/spiritual way, suppressing emotions. The opposites conflict instead of unify,
maybe they are incompatible=> separating
Written by Kaz.

5 - The Hierophant:
The Hierophant is the one giving us sense to what the deal is on earth. When it gets all to mysterious and incomprehensible, he is the one drawing the lines and show us a map that can be followed. He is calm and has an very earthly way of divination.
When he comes up reversed obviously something is very much out of touch with reality.
He reminds us that it is necessary to not close our eyes to the obvious. It is all very good, that we can give long and divine arguments for how the world and universe is working, though to much of that could get you of track with reality and forget that the basic water, nourishment and love is what makes the wheels turning foremost down here.
When Hierophant shows reversed then he has forgotten his grounds, he is no longer fit to advise others how they should live their life, because at this time he might not even be cable of taking care of him self.
The saying “what goes around comes around” may be old and worn out, though it is never the less a truth that should be remembered.
If you try advise and help others when you self are out of balance with in, then the advise you give will be airy and incomprehensible if not all together just bad attempts on making your self feel good and avoiding dealing with your own problems.
[Top]
4 - The Emperor:
The Emperor is the father of tarot. He looks after us, teaches us how to be the ruler of our domestics and of our own lives. He reminds us that to rule and be boss we will have to believe in our selves and have confidence that others think we are in the right place to be the ruler.
If The Emperor comes up reversed then the kingdom is at stake here. He no longer rules and takes care of his lands and the reasons for that can be numerous.
Maybe the people no longer see him fit to be the one in charge, that he should let go of responsibilities and let someone else take over.
Or he is simply out of balance, not feeling up to the fact that he is always the one having to make all the calls here.
He can act very stubborn and childish if he does not get his ways, set the lands security on the edge just to make a point and be rebels
When The Emperor shows in a reading this could be about the being read for is out of control in a situation where they really do not have all that much possibility to make a difference anyway, the Boss Seat is someone else’s to take..
Maybe you have been given to much responsibility for you to manage or you take to much on your self to handle.
[Top]
3 - The Empress:
The Empress is the loving mother of tarot, she is the one nurturing us, teaching us patience, telling us that everything should have their time for learning and growth.
She
is the one indicating pregnancy, fruitfulness and other births be it
projects, plans or what ever.
When Empress is coming up reversed there are some main qualities that is imbalanced.
Patience is in lack, nurturing nature, others or Mother Earth is imbalanced.
Empress telling about a real woman then the reversed could be telling about abuse or other great scares and or sorrows, physically as well as emotionally. Put there by others or the woman her self.
A man getting empress reversed could be about him having an issue regarding his own mother or him being out of touch with his feminine side.
The reversed Empress is a fake. Yes
I know that is harsh and bold, but look at the card, yellow and
nothing else. Yellow to me is a coward and a fake. She becomes
“male” or manly. The Scepter is holding the picture a long with
the 12 zodiacs, she has the universe in her power and she uses it. The
nurturing and loving Venus becomes impersonated High Priestess. What
is underneath that dress of hers? Decorated with the same pomegranates
as the curtain. The red blanket she is sitting on is almost looking as
blood running out of her – giving life I don’t think so, this one
is having an abortion. The wheat hides what is behind, let it grow and
it will eat her up. Patiently she will let it grow and nourish it with
her own blood till it eats her up.
I know I am being both metaphorical and provoke thinking here, and I
mean to.
But just think about it.
She is not as loving as the queen of cups and she is not as
understanding as the high priestess, the Empress shares life –
reversed she becomes more Death than Mother to me; only she does not
have the transformation quality, she stagnates.
4) If she shows to need more attention it could be to take care of
womb and/or genitals. Mating could be at stake. Or she would tell to
in fact let things grow in their own paste.
5) As a signpost she would say about the other card that we would need
to open our minds and offer it the child’s attention. Look at it as
an infant; let it be just what it is. Don’t be too hasty.
6) The Empress is Venus, reversed all her symbols becomes male. She
could be warning that the male side of us is taking over, depressing
the feminine side. And that goes whether you are male or female – we
all have both sides inside.
7) A blockage of motherly understanding. Letting children, life, work,
love live its paste and love it for what it is without the urge to
change things. Always looking for changes in our selves, changing
others or just having the feeling to constant redecorating our
furniture; The Empress would show as a blockage.
8) She is looking straight at us with her baby blue eyes. Only looking
very close to the card of RW, she is actually turning her eyes
slightly to the right, as if she was peeking without the photographer
noticing it. She would give a tip that the card to the right from her
needed attention.
[Top]
2 - The High Priestess:
I feel like breaking every law there is to break, who made them judge of me anyway.
I feel out of touch with my self.
I learn the hard way but I don't get any wisdom or knowledge of what I do, I just do and forget.
I feel all tangled up in gray-zones, cant find head or tale in anything.
Don't dare to cross my way here, I'll for sure bite your head off and properly enjoy it while it last.
I am some
ones mother-in-law or you dreaded evil step-mother,
so watch out - I
might bring you an apple.
High Priestess is properly the
most profound card to read in the majors. She already means so much when
upright, turning her upside down, makes my head spin.
Instead of sitting the priestess is now floating between to grounded
pillars. Pillars are in black and white, meaning could be the
foundation, and our world is very much either black or white. (Which, I
believe, is true, even if we do claim to be able to see all kind of
angles in life).
The priestess’ curtain is decorated with the same kind of apples that
is on the Empress’ dress, life – which is funny, as one would think
it is the way to the land of death.
Walking through the reversed card will offer no solution or answer, as
you are met with one moon after the other, the beginning is turned to
the end – you are getting all tangled up in the black and white until
it is all gray. Priestess is not offering any guidance this way, or
maybe you are not asking for it, even you have the need for it.
When the priestess is a card that needs attention, she is kind of like
The Tower I think; telling you that you act as if you know the secrets,
only you don’t and your acting as if you did, only make it worse for
you in the long run, harder to realize that you are on the wrong track
here. She would warn you about not learning from your mistakes, which
will only make you do them over and over again.
When she is acting as a signpost to the past card, she would defiantly
tell about the veil of self deceive. You have decided what you wanted to
see in the past card, but are you sure that is what really is there,
when you look again?
When the HP is blocked, she could be a right down b****, nagging and
splitting people around her apart. We once talked about the PMS
syndrome, that HP would be the one showing that. She is likely to use
her wisdom in a evil manner, just for the sake of it, when she is
blocked or out of balance with her self. She would be the evil
stepmother or the nagging mother in law.
It can be a bit hard to determine whether she is looking downwards or
directly at us, I guess that will have to depend on who is looking at
her. I have days she does one thing and days where she doesn’t. Still
the attention would be upwards, what card is above her, that needs her
attention.
Others take on this card:
unbalanced, out of control, prejudiced type of approach/attitude, low self-esteem

1 - The Magician:
1+2) on a basket of red roses,
the wand of all knowledge is holding the whole picture.
Red roses are passion and security, they are holding strong. Roses are
delicate and fragile, but don't attempt to break them, then you are
bound to get stung on the deadly thornes it carries for protection.
For me this means, that the coin always have to sides, and that you
can't have one with out the other present.
The wand of all knowledge is caring the magician through the reversed
card, on that one wand he manages to keep balance in all eternity.
Until now, symbols are very much the same whether you turn them one
way or the other, it however changes slightly when you enter the
"present" phase of the card. The belt is showing a snake - I
believe it is the same snake you can see on wheel of fortune, looking
at the WOF and a rev magician - the snake is turning the wrong way i.e. they would go "with the clock" and they go
against.
Meaning could be that this reversed magician is using wand and roses
"the wrong way".
The middle of the card is showing the table with all the tools,
elements, suits, whatever we choose to call them. Nothing is keeping
them on the table, hence it is up side down, so if the magician wants
to make use of them, he would have to pick them up, prevent them to
fall to ground, meaning;
don't wait till tomorrow for what you can do today, don't doubt your
abilities till they vanish, make use of what you got while they are
there.
A Danish saying, don't know if I translate right: Smith while the iron
is still hot.
Future phrase holds are more wild growing passion (red roses), with
learning and making use of the tools, your limits, imagination,
fantasies, and goal settings become more dairy, wild, unlimited. With
the learning and knowledge gained from that, the wisdom (white lily)
and ability to create concrete plans for reaching your goals will be
yours.
4) if the magician turns up as a card needing more attention, this
could be about not recognizing ones own abilities and potentials,
maybe talking down on others or not all together be legitimate on the
edges. Not acknowledging the powers of the magician, in others or
yourself could turn out to be a deadly tool indeed.
5) as a signpost the magician could again tell about not fully comprehend
the potentials in the past card - as he would standing on
his wand so to speak, for me it would have to be something to do with
not following the heart, or seeing the passion lying in the past card.
6) The Magician usually is the Tarot Character in Tarot. He shows and
teaches us how to use the tools we are provided in life.
However when he is reversed he could be very dangerous having around
if related to a real person. Here he would be the bad guy, the
impostor trying to lure you to something that either wont be very
healthy for you or be legal.'
7) A Blockage - it is my experience that he can relate to a somewhat
good childhood though with lack of support once the youngster has
chosen a path in life and ready to move on their own.
Then The Magician to me indicates, that some one stands alone and
there for have to figure out for them selves how the world is turning,
because obviously their teacher has turned their back on them.
8) How does the magician turn his eyes on the cards, when reversed; I
don't see his eyes being as important as his hands actually. He is
holding the wand in the air, to divination, and pointing with the
other to the ground. When rev, the wand is solid grounded and his is
pointing up in the air. As he is staring directly into the one looking
at the card, to me he tells more to the reader than he does the
querent. Even if he is loaded with potentials, it is still important
also to ground passion while looking at the stars.

0 - The Fool:
The Fool is a funny character, as he walks on the cliffs there seem to be nothing that could make him worry or care.
Though getting The Fool reversed could be a statement or even a warning that it is time to grow up now.
Maybe life is no longer all play and fun, if you have committed your self to another person or project then at least acknowledge the responsibilities for that and grow up.
The dog is usually the one trying to warn the fool, though when reversed this could indicate that the persons in your life usually playing the dog is getting tired of trying to save your sorry …. If you know what I mean.
If you are not willing to grow up and take responsibility for your own life and actions, then do not expect others to do it for you.
The Fool's PPF
will show that when born we are already given some essential tools,
skills (sun and back-pack)
The Fool also knows right from the beginning, that being aware of your
past, the beginning, being aware of history (face up), keeping mind a
good portion away (white rose) from heart and feel (pomes on robe) - is
all some that makes it possible to tread lightly and travel like The Fool.
(bottom)
Warning/solution:
The Fool reversed could be a statement or even a warning that it is time
to grow up now.
Maybe life is no longer all play and fun, if you have committed your
self to another person or project then at least acknowledge the
responsibilities for that and grow up.
The dog is usually the one trying to warn the fool, though when reversed
this could indicate that the persons in your life usually playing the
dog is getting tired of trying to save your sorry …. If you know what
I mean.
If you are not willing to grow up and take responsibility for your own
life and actions, then do not expect others to do it for you.
More attention:
Leading attention to the Fool would for me mean that the person who is
being read is having troubles just being her/him self. Letting others
dictate the way of life, leaving the danger actually of her just
wandering of blindfolded of the cliff instead of steering her/his with
open eyes and only fall of the cliffs (s)he chooses to.
A
signpost:
The fool reversed is very aware of ancestors and history, he knows what
he is doing, faith is set upon guardians and guides to know their stuff
here. The Fool redirecting you to the past card, would tell you that you
didn't see or learn the history in this card. You didn't go behind the
curtain - you took it that the only thing to see was what they set up on
the stage.
Strictly opposite:
Careless, stupid, childish, ignorant, Peter Pan
Blockage:
When the Fool is blocked, you need contact with your inner child. When
blocked the lesson provided by the Fool is - learn to just be and live.
The Fool changes direction yes and even goes from high to low - from
bird perspective to ground (others don't differ that much in direction).
Which in a split thought means that the Fool have when reversed lost
his overlook, his perspective, his eye's of the eagle. The dog knows -
cause that one is up there. So when reversed Fool is telling us - just
for once - to listen to our mother, father, friends, whomever is trying
to share some wisdom with us.
And when the card is reversed it is very likely that they know what they
are talking about
