"I will be lovelorn? My boyfriend and I are both in the opposite position. "
I don't know when the "reversal panic" spread, equating "reversal" with "unlucky" and "unlucky" has become a "card-watching criterion" for many people.
Let's not talk about seeing the reversal like facing the enemy. In fact, many Tarot analysts don't use inversion, and rarely mention the concept of inversion, unless we want to make a relatively certain conclusion about something or someone. Generally speaking, as long as you can fully interpret each card, you can choose to ignore it and consider reversal. Jung should be mentioned here (note 1). In his interpretation of tarot cards, he thinks that tarot cards can connect the collective subconscious of human beings with prototypes, just like projectors. Because the collective subconscious with temporality is too abstract, tarot cards turn these abstract things into concrete objects, colors and so on. So that people can interpret them. In this sense, as long as the meaning of the card is fully interpreted, the difference between the inverted position and the positive position may only lie in the depth, whether it is already or not (determined and distinguished according to different cards).
The earliest information on the application of tarot inversion can be found when Arthur Edward Waite, a member of the mysterious group "Golden Dawn" (Note 2) in 1909, created the Waite Tarot (Note 3), but Waite only "recorded" the inversion, indicating that the concept of inversion had been put forward and applied before this. On the contrary, Crowley, the author of Tottarot, which also belongs to Golden Dawn, made it clear that Tote does not encourage the use of the concept of inversion. Although the uses and inspirations of various tarot cards are different, if you are a competent cancer teacher, generally speaking, no matter which card you use, there will not be much difference. It can be seen that whether to use inversion is related to the tarot card selected. From another point of view, the positive and negative positions of tarot cards actually have no clear and decisive influence on the test itself. Randomly select one from the previous simple test cases:
The question asked in the test is "Do the problems between my boyfriend and me still exist?" (For reference only) The test result is a monthly card, and the monthly card itself will emphasize "darkness" (the darkness here has no emotional color, but simply emphasizes hidden parts, things that people's eyes have not seen for the time being, things that are ignored, etc. As far as this problem is concerned, there are still problems, and there will be more problems than the parties themselves think, and there are other problems behind it. At the same time, the monthly card also gives some enlightenment, and the parties can use their female charm or group role to change the status quo. This is also the inspiration that Tarot analysts find from Tarot cards. Many times, the parties want the Tarot analysts to give their opinions. If the opinion is too subjective, you should also avoid being too subjective when reading the card.
Let's talk about the "Si Shen" card that everyone cares about. In 2002, in one of the attack sites of serial killings in Washington, USA, the police found a tarot card (which can also be translated into death card) left by the murderer and a note that read "Police, I am God". This serial murder case was finally found out that the murderer was a boy Malvault who was only 17 years old. The in-depth report of this case is not detailed enough, and the information of the murderer himself is not detailed enough. If the murderer doesn't understand tarot cards, it is likely to be understood as "death" as the name suggests (note 5). If he knew the tarot card, it would be interesting to put it at the scene of the murder. Similarly, we look at it from a positive position and a negative position.
The protagonist on the stele is a knight riding a horse, holding the plague flag, and death follows wherever he goes. In the scene, the emperor is dead, but the child and the pope are still alive. From this card, it is difficult to determine whether the child and the Pope will die, and there are no specific rules on the age, status and gender of those who are threatened with death, which is very similar to the case itself. But the death card is not a real death, but a form of destruction and end (not the disappearance of life forms), which will put forward new policies and directions. The follow-up report of the case said that the murderer and his adoptive father drove around the world after committing the crime. Whether they are arrested or the plan to travel around the world is successful, they are all faced with the "one stage is coming to an end" represented by the death card. And this card is generally the same as the moon mentioned above. Whether it is positive or negative, we must accept change and it is difficult to reverse it. At the same time, it is not "death" in the strict sense. Tarot cards are involved in many films, movies and literary works, such as the hermit card in the famous detective novel The Twelfth Card, the Korean film The Bodhisattva in the Qing Dynasty, The Red Violin and so on. It seems that Conan, a famous detective, also has an episode about tarot cards, with animated and live-action versions. You can look for it if you are interested. However, the concept of tarot cards in most literary works is not correct, and some pay more attention to its history or legend and demonize it.
There is also a saying that it is suitable for beginners of tarot cards. In case of reverse position, you can return to the positive position of the last card. There is a common misunderstanding in this method. Going back to the last card does not mean that the reverse position of this card is equal to the positive position of the last card. Just like the opposite side of the moon, we returned to the last Zhang Xingxing position. Although it has some subtle similarities with the back of the moon, it is even more necessary for readers to know that we are on the back of the moon because of "the problem represented by the star position" or "the star position should have been shown in the previous step, but it didn't". This method is only recommended for novices, not for the dependent. The understanding of tarot cards emphasizes relationships, but there are also differences. Each card is connected together like a story or even an epic, but taking out a card alone has many independent elements worthy of attention.
Generally speaking, if you don't want to ignore the reverse order, or choose the tarot card that must be used in reverse order, you should not only have a comprehensive understanding of the meaning of the card, but also pay attention to its position in the card array, what are the cards before and after, how to cooperate and consider practical problems. And conduct a comprehensive interpretation. Inversion does not mean any result.
Tarot card lovers are familiar with the tarot card reading 2 1 meeting, and its author, Mary Creaer, has also written a detailed explanation of tarot card inversion (Note 6), in which Mary recorded her views and opinions on tarot card inversion in detail, and listed 12 reading methods of tarot card inversion. This book is actually more like a reference book, or a "list" of ways to read cards, and even the author himself feels inconclusive. Tarot card itself is a very personal test method, because the cards chosen are different, the factions are different, the purpose is different, the parties are different and so on. We can't find a standard to measure the adverse position. Tarot cards actually devalue the value of tarot cards from the perspective of good or bad, and erase the meaning of many cards for no reason.

Note 5: serial killings in Washington: This case happened in Washington, USA in June 2002. By June of 14, the murderer fired 12, of which 1 missed, * * 165438+. Because the influence of the "9. 1 1" incident on the people has not completely disappeared, the number of shots and hits of the murderer coincides with "9. 1 1" (unrelated before and after), which has aroused great concern. After the murderer was identified as Malvault, he was a minor 17 years old, although John, the adoptive father of a veteran? Allen? Muhammad was also a suspect, but his fingerprints were not found on the murder weapon. This case once caused great controversy. According to some data, it is extremely unlikely that the adoptive father is responsible for driving, and it is doubtful whether Malvault has relatively high shooting skills, but Malvault was finally designated as the murderer. There is no motive in this case.
