Reversed Tarot Cards
Cards that land upside down, which many readers interpret as the card's energy blocked, turned inward, delayed or overdone.
Ways to read a reversal
- Blocked: the energy is present but cannot flow
- Internal: it is happening privately rather than outwardly
- Delayed: it is coming but not yet
- Excess or lack: too much or too little of the upright meaning
Not every reader uses reversals; some read every card upright and let neighbouring cards provide nuance. Astrool's tarot includes reversals and explains each in context.

Common questions
Is a reversed card always negative?
No. A reversed Tower, for example, can mean a crisis averted or handled internally.
Do Lenormand cards reverse?
Traditionally, no; Lenormand reads all cards upright.
