Reversals -- The Magician

bec

Off the "reversal record", Dave, all the cards have a key word in them. You would do your self a great favor in reading Thirteen's basics, where all cards are described on basis, some of them are even taken a step further in interpretation.

To summon up what minors we have had so far:

6cups: memories
6pentacles: merchandiser
7swords: thief card
4cups: numbness


Another clue to read the minor - c/p from my own site:

Ace – Follows both the Fool and the Magician, a sign of a new beginning, raw potentials, energies, projects or feelings not yet taken to use.

Two – Follows the High Priestess, in order to find out what she hides behind the curtain you have to dare make decisions and choose from the raw potentials, you might hit jackpot or you might face some obstacles you have not anticipated.

Three – Follows the Empress which tells us to have patience and let the things develop and grow in its own pace. Now is not the time to push and rush, see what your potentials and choices brings before moving to next step.

Four – Follows the Emperor, the situation is now somewhat stable, not much going on, though it seems that everything is in control for the time being. Is this indicating a solid foundation build or does it show stubborn-ness in refusing to bend and or compromise only time and development can tell.

Five – Follows the Hierophant, it is now time to take down all the plans, all the efforts you have put into your project and take a good critical view on them. What can you do better and what should stay untouched. Bring mysteries down to earth so you can comprehend everything about and behind them.

Six – Follows the Lovers, as you now have put the raw potentials in use, made a choice of which direction to follow, let it grow and take form, seen where and what could and have become of it, it is now time to review if you are still moving in the right direction. As Lovers is not about blind and everlasting love but more about making the right choice in heart, with the sixes you are guided in the direction that will most likely benefit your happiness in life the most.

Seven – Follows the Chariot, like the Fives gives you a picture of what is there, the difference being that the sevens point out to you, that if you do not comprehend what potentials you have in front of you and take advantage of, then you might not see all the possibilities life hands out to you on the way.

Eight – Follows Strength, showing that it does take a whole lot of courage and boldness to dare following your dreams and see what the possibilities are to reach them and make them reality. Divide the situation and put facts on a scale, what do you wish to accomplish and what can you accomplish.

Nine – Follows the Hermit, almost having ended the circle of ten, this is the seeking with in and resting in what have been accomplished. You now have the results of all your efforts and are beginning to reload and get ready to a new circle of the tens.

Ten – Follows the Wheel Of Fortune, did this bring you to the right place in life and on the wheels of life. Ten is the end of circle, whether this is good or bad, they give you the insight to that it is the end, you have gained top benefits or it wont get any worse. A new circle in life is ready to be born.
