Hello everyone! When I began tarot I would always regard a Reversed card as something quite negative.
I don't choose to reverse cards at all: I find that I can tell how to read a card without it. So when a card DOES come up reversed without my reversing any of it, I take it that teh vcard is screaming for attention. It's just an attention-seeker, or it is the most important card on the table on that one occasion, and I read it as centrel to the issue.
Another way to read them is this.
Just say that a card like (for instance) the Five Cups, means someone or something making you feel overwhelming regret if it is upright. Then, if it is reversed, it might indicate you making SOMEONE ELSE feel overwehelming regret. It changes nothing about the meaning of the card, just where the regret is Nd where it originates from in the situation.
Ditto with other cards. For instance, we get threads regularly saying "I know the Six Pentacles is about generosity, but does it mean I should be generous to other, or I shoiuld accept generosity from others?" Reading it upright one way and reversed the other, might clarify that and prevent people having to ask.
