Upright vs. reversed

A tarot card can land upright or reversed, and the orientation shifts its emphasis. Upright, Ace of Cups reads as new love, compassion, emotion. Reversed, the same card leans toward blocked emotion, emptiness, repression — often a blocked, delayed, or inward version of the upright energy rather than a strict opposite.
