What does it mean when a tarot card is reversed?
A reversed card is drawn upside-down. It does not mean the opposite of the card — it usually points to blocked, internalized or delayed energy, or a lesson the card is asking you to learn the hard way.
Which tarot card means yes or no?
Each card carries a yes/no tendency. For example, The Sun and The Fool lean yes, The Tower and Death lean no, while cards like The Moon answer "maybe — more information is needed."
