why choose for 53 instead of 78?

The advantage of tarot is that it gives more precision and visual hints than playing cards. It also offers generally the option for pip reversals. The disadvantage is that playing cards are more acceptable to divine with outside new age sensitive environments.

For the card readers who are also using tarot, are there among you who use the same meanings for the pips? Have you found a way for reversals?

A playing card deck doesn't have knights. Might this be because of the association with fighting?
