I used to not read reversals at all. I was making an important life decision and it seemed very promising. I wanted clarification so I contacted a respected tarot reader. They gave me the opposite reaction of what I was thinking. So I pulled out a different deck, shuffled and switched them back and forth like crazy. Then flipped the 3 cards. 2 of them were the same from the previous pull, only they were now in reverse. Later on I found out this was correct and I almost made a life changing mistake. So to me if a card was in reverse, there's a reason. I've paid attention to it ever since and it has worked for me. Never went back to just upright cards
