Whether you use the reverse card technique,or not it's entirely up to you. It all depends on how the cards work for you. Truthfully, the best readings I've received have been done by not using reversals. My teacher showed me that the surrounding cards will paint the picture, regardless--But to each their own. There are also so many secrets in the tarot that I learned that are not in the books (such as getting names, depicting spiritual attacks, among others). Try to partner with a very skillfull teacher to give you pointers; and most importantly, one whom you trust. My teacher dedicated all of her life reading Tarot.

The 4's all tend to represent situations where TIME is a factor to be considered. Each card has a picture and very often you can get an immediate idea of the meaning of a tarot card, just by looking at the card.
Quick tips for understanding Tarot Card Meanings.

• Look at the picture on the card - what can you see? What is actually going on in the card?
  
• What are the dominant colors? Are they light and bright? Are they dark and challenging?
  
• What immediate feelings or reaction do you get as you look at the card?
  
• Do you hear any words in your head as you look at the card?

That is probably your Intuition trying to connect with you. Those messages will be correct for you, even though they may differ from the tarot card meanings that you find in books.

Just like any good book, the Tarot builds momentum, its plot thickens. Knowing one card is a product or has been birthed from the previous card gives us a foothold on meaning.

Timing:

Pentacles--Spring
Cups—Summer
Swords—Winter
Wands—Fall

*Kings are adult females of ages 45 on. Culmination or accomplishment of a goal.

Life is the spiritual journey of the soul whose origin and destination are the same God or Spirit if you will. Ancient belief is that all matter is composed of five elements: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth, present in all things and creatures. Air: awareness and thought; Fire: action and manifestation; Water: reaction and emotion; Earth: integration and structure. The fifth element is Spirit which gives life to all things and with which nothing will exist. This concept runs through the Tarot and is the key consequently and considering the meaning of the 22 major arcana cards. The cards are divided into five groups of four—one group per each element, the remaining two cards, The Fool and The World, line naturally outside of the system—in each of these five quartets, the 1st three cards refer to condition, and the 4th card to the natural result of those conditions:

0: Primordial deity—Air
1: Creation, the masculine aspect of God
2: Spirit, or Goddess, or the feminine aspect of God
3: In soul universe
4: Time and structure of perception—Fire
5: Communication between spirit and human
6: Choice and lessons
7: Material advancement and success
8: Spiritual advancement and success—Water
9: Seeker
10: What fate gives the seeker
11: What fate the seeker makes of himself
12: Process of learning and growing—Earth
13: Eternal cycle which facilitates growth
14: Acquisition and integration of knowledge
15: Material illusion, the veil
16: Piercing material illusion—Spirit
17: Piercing illusion through vision and inner work
18: Piercing illusion through religion and ritual
19: Piercing illusion through material experiences
20: The enlightening person was overcome illusion
21: Deity after enlightment

Here will be seeing that the major arcana of the Tarot tell the story of existence from before 1st creation through the journey of the soul, through the ultimate reunion of the soul with deity, thus it might be said to be true that the Tarot does indeed contain the fable secrets of the universe.

The dog can also represent the forces of nature and the animal self of men, which are all in harmony with the figure who acts out of instinct. When you deny your inner-self it can become a ferocious beast…The Feather in his cap is a symbol of air and it points to the sun, a symbol of enlightment; actions are guided and directed from above. He holds a white rose, a Golden Dawn symbol of silence and rebirth, which also illustrates clarity of purpose and purity of desire, love and innocence. The delicate way in which is held indicates passions raised to a very high level, which they are when you follow the calling of your heart. The fool looks away from the sun. Is it because he ignores wisdom or is because he has absorbed its lessons and does not need to look directly into the light? To decide which fool is meant in a reading, look at the cards that flank him and particularly that one he may face.

He is life and death and the perpetuation of the soul from one cycle to the next. He is undifferentiated and unmanifest. He is the beginning and he is the end. The body dies and falls to disintegration, but the soul continues on its journey to perfection and fulfillment. With each new incarnation the soul yearns to be free from the boundaries and invisible shackles it has brought with it from previous incarnations in the form of karma. Unwittingly we obey the call of the “oughts” and “shoulds” which bite at our tail, until eventually we break free and run towards the truth which only our own soul can know and fully understand.

It is then that others cry *Fool* as we leave behind all that we have built, earned, craved or desired; for the truth is stronger than money, a job or apparent security. Freedom comes from within and not from without, and often the Fool depicts not the running away from established physical burdens but the inner peace we find deep inside during difficult times. To be true to our self against the odds is freedom; to be independent. To follow the dictates of our heart and soul rather than allow the crowd to sway us, or family to influence us, or early environmental conditioning to deter us; that is when we step into the power of the Fool.

As his journey progresses, such foolishness does lead to mastery and wisdom—This card brings a sense of casting all cares to the wind. Logic, planning, and order are not involved. Instead, magical synchronicities and lucky serendipitous events can occur. Now is the time to take a risk or seek adventure because you are guided by faith, folly, or fancy—be open to new opportunities; often indicating one who is ready to start on a new spiritual path who has made peace with the need to experience absolute faith and trust in the universe. Perhaps the person may be consciously in touch with the intuitive realm of his or her being. The fool represents a state of openness and is relying on his inner truth to support his adventure—he is the spirit in search of experience; radical trust in life—opportunities are available. There is as much misconception in foolishness as there is of innocence. Innocence is often misconceived as naivety or gullibility; they aren’t the same—Innocence is the pure state of our beings, and a person can be extremely experienced and wise; his or her innocence all the more amazing for its enduring strength through the seasons of life’s ups and downs. All the most beautiful meaning here on this earth generates from the fool’s shinning invincible hope. The fool is at Zero, returning to the purity f his soul; he has already experienced (traveled around the wheel) yet regardless of his experience, is returning to the innocence of his being. Clean slate, with shinning optimism and bravery that is so needed to begin again.

Reversed: Lack of trust in life; leaping before you look, and a foolish disregard for present conditions.

Reversed: Not using one’s ability; time for change is not now. Experiencing self-doubt about any new venture, or your spirits and vitality may be too low for action required.

This card represents inner, esoteric religious experience, or mystery. We understand mystery when we accept that we cannot know it. It symbolizes feminine spiritual power. A serene-faced female figure, the scroll or book in her lap represents the akashic records, the crescent moon at her feet warns of the danger of releasing higher knowledge to those unprepared to handle it. B-Boaz and J-Jachin can be seen as portals of a doorway to the interior of life’s mysteries with her as the guardian of the entryway. The stone throne represents being united with higher consciousness. Her cross is symbolic of the four elements held in balance. The water flowing represents stream of consciousness, and the water behind veil the unconscious truth. The smooth surface suggests truth and secrets are in the depths of the subconscious. Interpretation: something hidden, or interior is preparing to come forth, or the person needs to pay more attention to his/her inner world of dreams, imagination, and intuition—usually the person is ready to accept but may have been holding back out of fear or inertia. This card can also indicate that the person is attempting to hide something that needs to be revealed. * This can be a good or bad card, as it can be someone working for you or against you; someone of stature (male pr female); be cautious. Also, one can be experiencing a high degree of awareness of the invisible world. The High Priestess sees everything, hears everything and knows everything, but says nothing. She waits patiently for exactly the right moment, considers everything deeply and knows the beginning and the end of all things. She is intuitive, lucid, clear-sighted, inquiring, organized, ordered, reserved, sensitive and cultures; an attentive and principled woman.

Reversed: Not listening to one’s inner guidance; blocking one’s inner guidance. You may be finding your own personal way into your inner world and the riches it contains.

A card of beauty and nurturance—represents the social concept of the feminine in maternal role, domestic harmony; a positive card. She sits on a throne in a field of grain next to a waterfall, symbols of abundance and sensuality —Flowers represent Mother Nature; bears the astrological symbol of Venus representing love. She holds a scepter and wears a crown with 12 stars. She is fertility and sensuality. The shield-heart shaped means she lovingly protects. Her pearl necklace has nine pearls, seeds of creation. The stream flowing suggests giving life to the garden, and the pillow giving comfort. She is the mother of the deck. Your energies are balanced and harmonious. You’ll be fortunate and secure with material matters. A strong feminine element at work; emotional control, if a man, indication is recognizing feminine component on himself and acknowledge its power to harmonize. Care taking process. Sometimes a “smother mother” that the person had or he/she is acting out that role.

Reversed: Blocking one’s prosperity and abundance. Too much time nurturing others.

A figure of supreme authority. His age and position of authority speak of experience and wisdom gained. His attitude is one of a passive kindness as the beneficent ruler of his empire willing to fight for what’s right. A father figure with traditional values; he is a teacher figure. The armor represents that he is protective; governed by rules and strictness of life. In a reading he can indicate issues relating to one’s relationship with one’s personal father, or to the authority figures in general. It can indicate the time to relay on one’s self instead of relying on others. It is important to realize that at some point an adult must in fact become his or her own father. His clothes are symbols of Mars, ruler of Aries. He is disciplined. Moreover, in a reading it can indicate that the real father of the person has either recently died or may die soon. Another interpretation is that there may be someone in the person’s life who is acting as a father figure, a boss or a husband.

The chariot wears a belt and a skirt decorated with zodiacal glyphs, symbolic of time. The chariot not moving means he does not have a rebellious nature. The wheels signify the ever-changing life cycles. The Sphynx pulling the chariot signify the opposite forces. The Sphinxes are, of course, day and night; the white represents joy and the black suffering—the canopy of stars is the abyss of heaven, and the four pillars are the seasons. He is the conquering hero who has transformed sexual energy into a vehicle that can carry him toward his spiritual goal, the spiritual Sun, which is the meaning of the crest on the front of his Chariot. He is still, however, concerned with the physical world. To proceed he has to pull together the opposing forces of the two Sphinxes. The need to be in control of competing forces whether they represent people or a situation in your life that requires you to take command—you may feel unequal to the challenge of controlling the multiple factors of a given situation. Once the situation is resolved within your own mind, even if struggle is at stake, you’ll be in a position to stay on course. Self-mastery, strategy, clear-thinking and a sense of purpose--The means to triumph over all obstacles and stay the course you have set. It could mean assistance is on the way, perhaps transforming yourself and your ways of thinking. Movement, travel and transportation. It could mean changing your mode of transport. Represents confidence, preparedness, travel, victory. The path is clear and focused goals can be attained. Being in control of a situation, though being pulled by opposing forces. The ability to maintain balance in a time of transition. The Chariot encourages you to look to the future, to explore your choices, decisions, undertakings and objectives fully, audacious, daring or ambitious as they may be, and sustain the pressure until you have achieved your goal.

Reversed: Feeling out of control in a fast-pace situation; not knowing what to do. You may feel pulled in two directions at once and being stressed out by pressure. Time to choose direction carefully, to accept the process of inner transition as positive.

Self-Confidence and inner strength of being in harmony with one’s instinctive nature. The woman represents human courage and will power that masters the instinctive realm not by force but by cooperation— Roses connecting woman and lion, symbolizing how we are chained to our desires. The Lion represents fears, feelings, and desires… our ego uses to control our life. The hand on Lion indicates gentle force and confidence. The tail position of the Lion indicates surrender. The meaning in a reading signifies, exhibits moral courage and fortitude. You have learned to listen to the whisperings of your own nature—you have come through difficulties and learned to rely on inner strength. This is a time when faith in yourself will pay off; overcoming physical strength with spirituality. It represents self-mastery through love and abundance.

Reversed: Emotional withdraw. Time to engage in self-evaluation of your life—avoiding aims and goals.

Card of Karma. Something has been put in motion over which you now have little no control; you’re being forced to accept the action of the forces of destiny… changes can be good or bad—You are being forced to align yourself with the aims, foretelling of changing circumstances, usually for better. Balance may be an issue if you are resisting change but you have no choice but to go along; things will run its course: “What goes up must come down. This card almost heralds good fortune coming as a result of what yourself have put into motion. It means a new phase, new decision, or totally unexpected circumstance developing that will literally change your life. The wheel is a universal symbol for healing, change and transformation; energy of change coming into your life that hasn’t happened yet. The Wheel turns. Everything around us and within us is perpetually in motion.

Reversed: Being out of balance; a situation that’s not fair to someone… possibly yourself. A legal situation that may turn out ugly; a warning to check everything about the situation; possible jail time.

*The hanged man, in a reading, can mean betrayal, change. The Hanged Man symbolizes the revelation that life is different depending on whichever way you choose to look at it. The card also speaks to traitorous interpersonal conundrums and to traitorous emotions as well as those times when we are at our worst regarding health A call to a less materialistic way of life has been received; being ready for any personal sacrifice. Going through a major transformation perhaps illness or loss. A commitment to the development of the querent’s inner self is demanded. You have reached a dead end, facing a brick wall. Now is the time to turn and create anew path—surrender… going through an ordeal but willingly to further his goal. A willing sacrifice to obtain something you want more than you are losing. An initiation that results in spiritual growth and gifts—seeking proper time for action.

Reversed: Sacrificing some part of your life unnecessarily. Possible delays in time… a time to be flexible. You are at a crossroad and are in a stand still because you have become stuck on the material plane, and are neglecting your spirituality. Maybe in denial of your real needs which could be affecting you with depression and a sense of dissatisfaction; not true to your inner self.

Balance, making the right decisions; moderation in all things—caution to have patience, which may be difficult under the circumstances. The difficult lessons to wait calmly will serve. Time is essential… not in a position to hurry matters along. Creativity—blending things in a harmonious way and having the ability to be creative. Flowing from one cup to the other can indicate an alcoholic.

Reversed: Conscious mind over controlling your situation… previous combinations aren’t working well; try not forcing together inharmonious elements.

The emphasis is on the material. The black background represents “black magic,” unable to see the truth. The man and woman represent the light and dark side of our nature; the facial expressions illustrates acceptance of a bad situation. The chains represent bondage by choice. The palm shows evil and misfortune; limitation, and restriction. The fingers of the devil are positioned showing narrow illusion of thought. One is trapped in an oppressive situation of his or her own doing. Re-evaluate his or her relationships to material things, which serve to keep us “chained” firmly in one position—abusive or harmful relationships, letting go of old fears. The chains are loose indicates your potential for attaining your freedom by relinquishing obsessive ambition and excessive attachment to the things of this world—this card represents imprisonment, addiction, selfishness, obsession. Someone else may be involved, but you have the ability to free yourself by using your will power. The devil is the one that divides… we live our lives in a state of division… the dichotomy that is the internal or external opposition of good and evil… To desire something is to seek, to aspire, to wish for something. Tell me what you desire, what you are looking for and to what you aspire, and I will tell you who you are. We are, or we become, our own desires. Consequently, The Devil shows us chained to our desires as surely as death is chained to life, in an immutable and fatal cycle.

Reversed: Release of addiction and limitations.

The Star represents calmness, patience and wishes. The Star represents hope. The star with 8 points: new possibilities, and the small stars the seven chakras. The fishing bird signifies concentration, attention, and creative power. The woman looking into the pool suggests time of reflection and soul searching. One foot on water represents understanding and discovering—not entering the collective unconscious. The knee, “falling to one’s knee” represents seeking guidance from spirit. The vessels: Right hand- conscious choice; left hand, pouring insight and inspiration. The land and water signify balancing spirit and the material world. The pool represents the unconscious, and the pool’s ripples action creates reaction. This card can signal the end of the travails… a new and happier phase of life is coming… overcoming the obstacles and reached the star-celestial guidance. It stimulates the imagination to ponder on the great potential of each and every human being-growth, inspiration, inner wisdom. There’s an emphasis on astrology. A gate has opened to new directions. This card portends good fortune, inspirational growth, a time of fulfillment. Wish upon a star, wishes will come true. There’s hope; drawing on the divine waters of inspiration… a new flow of energy and self-confidence. You feel good about yourself and your place in the universe… full of faith and trust. It represents a breakthrough; calm after the storm—opportunities suddenly become available.

Reversed: Depression, feeling block and resentful. Retune yourself with your inner needs.

Water symbolizes the emotions, so here we are referring to stuck or Painful emotions. The crayfish symbolizes the individual. Each of us has a hard ego shell which we erect to protect the self, in the misguided belief that it can damaged or hurt. In truth, it is only the ego which experiences pain. Due to the impurity of the water the crayfish must leave or it will die.

Beyond the water we see the path that the crayfish (oneself) must follow in order to go past the Moon to the Sun which shines behind it. On the path one initially encounters two dogs which symbolize those who would like us to stay as we are and will, therefore, try and force us to remain in the stagnant emotions. Beyond the dog and wolf are two towers, one already damaged. These represent distortion and fear; false ego identities which one might be tempted to try and hide in along the way. Beyond the Moon is the Sun, and a promise of hope and “light at the end of the tunnel.” In a tarot reading, the Moon card represents fear. However painful the negative emotions, or emotional situations might be, it is always terrifying to break out from a habitual way of being. Stagnant water creates bondage. The moon illuminates and reveals your path. The moon changeable denotes caution. There’s no people which suggests we lose sense of self in partial light; the path is winding which shows the journey can be difficult.

A prime example of the Moon card in practice is when someone wants to leave a negative relationship. The first thing they do is go and discuss it with their friends (the dog and the wolf) who come up with a list of obstacles and reasons why they should not leave: “What about the children?” “How will you afford to do that?” “Where will you go without any money?” “You must stay and give the children a father.” All of these arguments push the questioner back into the stuck emotional situation, now compounded by added fears and uncertainties that they are bound to fail. Terror roots us to the spot. As the emotions experience further damage we become more fearful and less able to take the initial step towards change. Once past the dog and the wolf, we might hide in a false ego of okayness until we have the courage to take the final step and experience happiness again.

When the tarot Moon card appears in a spread there is always fear. *Enemies--Two dogs barking at the moon. Sometimes it is quite literally a fear of the dark, or a fear of the unknown, but always a fear based on a previous negative emotional experience. Fear creates illusion. When frightened we are more likely to imagine the worst. Moonlight literally takes away all of the color from life and leaves us only with black and white. All that is receptive in human nature: the subconscious, emotions. Paying more attention to your inner self; to see the world around you. Moreover, the Moon card refers to deceit and self-deception, confinement. Which are the result of ignoring your own inner promptings. Taking care of loose ends connected to the past. If the card is closely related to a negative card in the spread it can be an indication that you are neglecting your lunar self. It is not the time to act, but the seeds of action are being planted. The moon frowning is reflecting displeasure. Be careful of getting lost in the enchanted woods. There’s a passage into the dark, distant unknown. Deception, enemies… beyond the moon is the Sun, and a new promise of hope and “light at the end of the tunnel.”

Reversed: Illusion. Forces moving under the surface of your life you are not aware of. A bad time of changes in one’s life—the soul is calling for help. The demands of the day are overwhelming you… you feel disconnected from your true self.

The trumpet is a channeled message from God; Gabriel blowing his horn; the vibration, breath of God. The message is truth and understanding. The rays from horn are seven: 7 musical notes, 7 chakras. It represents all of the elements: Water, Air, Earth, Fire. The coffins represent breaking free of limited understanding. The people coming out of the coffins shows raising from the depths and going to the light, and people facing out shows awarement of what is to come. The people are grey, which represents wisdom, balance, polarities—showing them nude indicates they are unshamed; the child shows acceptance to know the state of consciousness. *This card can indicate that you are leaving in the past. The people are already dead… they are rising… you could be living in the past; same situation holding on to the same anger, the same life, the same sense of being miserable. What is being awakened is the sense of Higher Self within. Turning away from a traditional belief to one that suits better. The end of something—time to seek new direction, perhaps breaking away from your conventional way of life and belief… time for decision making. It means regeneration and rebirth after a period of confusion and a sense of confinement (the coffins) you may have been feeling in your life. The opportunity to relieve doubt, indecision, depression, and despair is ending. Rebirth, renewal, a second wind is in your life… a sense of fulfillment.

Reversed: The hope for renewal is lost; holding on the past. Refusal to take charge. It can indicate a possible loss or separation. Coping these life changes in spite of not wanting to face reality.

Our victory is now at hand, and our persistence is now rewarded. The ace of wands meaning is all about taking our internal creative fire in hand and holding it out far all the world to see. Now is our time to spread our warmth, passion, and vision to others. Now is our time to shine as beacons unto the world. This card is calls loudest to artists, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and those seeking to set out on a new creative path. To them, it is the "green light" card - a sign of positive encouragement, a signal to go for gusto! in their endeavors. The ace of wands Tarot card meaning deals with high volume energies bursting forth in assertive confidence; challenges. A promise of motion, direction, and positive energy building to a delightful result. New beginnings of an enterprise involving business. Planted seeds for a new birth—creative or money making idea. Freedom from restraints that occurred in the past; taking a new role. The hand of God handing you beginnings of creativity in your life.

Reversed: All process of creativity and new activity is still in the interior of your mind. Delays or rethinking to be sure it’s workable—sense of potential, but lack of resources or confidence.

Reversed: Lack of self-confidence. Perhaps a nasty surprise. The element is “surprise.” If the surprise is good or bad it will depend on the surrounding cards.

Mountains: Seen on many of the cards, mountain symbol meanings deal with triumph, challenge, attainment, and realization. Mountains also represent timelessness and an endurance that is infinite. When those mountains peak out of the cards into our attention, we may consider the vastness of our universe, and contemplate our place within it. We may also want to consider the heights to which we are climbing, and what the realization of our goals may mean for us and those around us. Ship: ship symbol meanings deal with travel and journey's. However a commonly overlooked factor is the medium upon which they said - water - it deals with the deeper levels of the psyche and the subconscious. When Ships sail across your vision in a reading, take into consideration where your thoughts (psyche) are traveling - what kind of baggage (cargo) are you carrying around, and are you charting (navigating) out the best course for your thoughts and emotions?

The Three of Wands represents the watcher of these creative ideas we've started in our lives. You don’t, however, know who your true friends are, you are over looking but you don’t know who is behind you. From high vantage points, and with unlimited stores of resources, knowledge and time we observe the unfolding of our creative desires. No action is needed here. Rather, the movement of which Einstein speaks is the acknowledgment that time (in all its phases) is on our side and our only action is to recognize our presence as the divine overseer of our experience.

We are ambassadors of our own dreams - the Three of Wands reminds us of our nobility in this respect, and indicates all we need do is allow the royal red carpet of our manifestations to unfurl itself right at our feet.

You’ve consolidated the situation, business, or enterprise and can expect financial gain. The positive attitude may bring helpful people or circumstance. You have established a solid foundation of business or occupation and can expect cooperation. You are clear about who you are and others will respond positively.
Reversed: Most work is internal level. Things will go smoothly when going public as you have assessed.
