I've just seen this thread: "what cards are your LEAST favorite to see? " which led me to another question: what cards' meaning people find to be the hardest to get or interpret in a spread? In which positions?
For me it is the 2 of Sword, 2 of wands, 4 of cups and the court cards (especially when they fall in a 'situation' or outcome position). When I look into a book/net the first thing I read is the meaning of these cards.
2 of Sword: can mean hiding from the truth, not facing something, not seeing something, confusion, so on, but according to http://www.tarotteachings.com/two-of-swords.html it could mean "intuition, perception, and the ability to garner information from unorthodox sources to make the decisions required of us." (she explains there why). I really like her interpretation.
2 of wands: dominion. OK, but not quite satisfying.
Getting the 9 of Sword in the 'hope' position or even in the 'positive influence' position is a toughy! Ya, you can work around the 9 of Sword as a positive influence but, but...it's not quite satisfying for me.
Or, generally speaking, getting positive cards in negative positions and vice versa don't seem too convincing (for example: what to let go: the Sun. Why on earth should I let go of the Sun?! - OK, I can explain it somehow but it still feels awkward!)
What are your experiences/struggles (if any)?
