Im more of an amature at tarot, but i got this reading using the
celtic cross where all cards were inverted except the second card
which was the 10 of swords and the last card (top of the staff) which
was the queen of wands.
In my limited experiences I would say that the fact everything was
upsidedown was more important than the cards themselves, is anyone
else in agreement?

if i remember correctly the cards themselves were

cross (center to the six -> nine -> twelve -> three)
ace of cups
10 of swords - non inverted
5 of cups
4 of cups
wands
something

staff:
page of swords
sun
queen of swords
queen of wands - non inverted

The question is a bit personal, ambitious and risky, thus i cant share
it here, but it had to do with guidance or an outlook if i followed
that path. Would the general meaning convey that i am all wrong about
the situation? Or does it more mean that the energy for completion is
there but will take a lot of work to unlock? Or something else.
Anyones input is appreciated.

Nope, i cant disagree strongly enough.

You can make any rationalization you wish for what is basically an
irrational act, assuming you can get meaningful information from random
chance is a pretty big assumption on its own. If you want to complicate
this with 'inverted' cards that is your choice, i wonder if you use a
waite or waite clone deck? if you do its even worse imo.

reverse cards are significant in that the major aspect of the card is
present, but only in small amounts

In my many years of study of tarot, I'd say reversed cards usually
occur because you didn't have your mind focused on carefully putting
the cards in correct positions back into the deck before you
shuffled. It happens sometimes and one should continue the deals
leaving them in that position until the end of the reading session.
However, according to the books I've read, at the end of the session,
you should repack your deck in numerical order all cards right side up
and store them that way so that when you do your next reading, you are
shuffling from a "new" deck.

Of course, some people may have a specific idea in mind and save their
decks to continue from the same original reading until they're ready
to start afresh another time.

Also, you may find that the reversal of the cards could have something
to do with someone entering the room and removing items during your
reading. Example: Say you're doing a reading in the kitchen and a
family member walks in, pulls out some ingredients for a sandwich,
puts the items away and goes to another room.

This is a parallel idea with the idea that reverse cards have the main
aspect card, but there is less of it (i.e. less mayo, less bread, less
baloney, etc.).

I would say, since the first card, "you" is an inverted ace of cups,
that means favorable outlook in small amounts, crossed by 10 of swords
noninverted, that means struggle full force,

on the last 2 cards, queen of swords inverted -- with a little bit of
influence by someone intensely perceptive and witty

the result will be and athletic and attractive person (perhaps the
person of your desire or the person who has the object of your desire)

Scary.

Nope. It just means that you have limited experience.

It also means that most of the cards were upside down.

And, for added value, that you attach importance to some very dumb
things.

How does anyone here know if you remember correctly or not?

>cross (center to the six -> nine -> twelve -> three)

Yeah, that would make them a little unhappy - not sure about cross
though.....

>something

Damn! That something card - it can be a real pain to interpret -
perhaps it was trying to tell you.....

.....something.

You know, that's a real shame - the answer is every bit as personal,
and so can't be shared here. You moron.

Here's some guidance - stick with the safe option.

>Would the general meaning convey that i am all wrong about

Let's see.

Yup. Generally, you're all wrong.

>Or does it more mean that the energy for completion is
>there but will take a lot of work to unlock? Or something else.

What language are you talking?

It looks like shit to me.

What is it you actually want?

Vindication of your stupid notion that you had a thought that was
worth something?

That someone else might suddenly think you're as important as you
think you are? Not gonna happen.

Look - in the mirror. That ought to answer your question.


>Anyones input is appreciated.

I would bet it isn't.

It should be, though.

What?

You haven't learnt a thing.

Yes, specifically, you're a moron.

Example: You have no idea what you're trying to say.

Less brain.

Don't say that. It's meaningless.

No shit.

Long live Obama Kennedy.

And your pontificating diatribes are supposed to be indicative of the
opposite of 'dumb'?
Its always amusing when the self proclaimed genius's start focusing on
those very things they consider contemptible, must be very lonely in
your isolated & lonely state of semi divine, border line wisdom.

Not supposed, Jo, are.

See how subtle interpretation can be? Ain't that the truth!

Oh that's right - there is no truth, is there, Jo?

Its more amusing to note that you pick up as though I'd never been
away Jo. Over three years, and for you, might as well be yesterday.

But I haven't focused on you Jo - and the only one proclaiming my
genius round here is you.

>must be very lonely in

Nah.

Pity that we only have your word for that. What you demonstrate by your
words is so clearly "dumber" than what you indict that i suspect you
of being teleologicaly impaired.

Ingenuousness does not become you.

Your denials are as meaningless as your assertions.
