Upright vs. reversed
A tarot card can land upright or reversed, and the orientation shifts its emphasis. Upright, Four of Swords reads as rest, recovery, contemplation. Reversed, the same card leans toward restlessness, burnout, stagnation — often a blocked, delayed, or inward version of the upright energy rather than a strict opposite.
