Iīve been reading/studying tarot for close to a year now. Iīve never used reversals since I donīt think I have the experience and knowledge required to be able to read reversals. For some reason, during this year Iīve never done a reading in which a card came up reversed, even though I shuffle very thouroughly and surely many cards end up upside down. However Iīve never picked up a card reversed. That is, until these past 2 weeks. And itīs not just one or two cards, itīs 3 out of 3, or 8 out of 10 cards that are coming up reversed! I was really surprised at first, but read the reversals anyway without much trouble for small spreads. The larger ones though, just baffle me, and especially because the situation goes beyond a "peculiar new occurence" kind of thing, itīs seems to be the norm now. Why is this happening, could I possibly be ready to go deeper? And what does a majority of revered cards mean?

You can find many books on the subject; I have yet to get "Special Topics in Tarot: Tarot Reversals", but I hear that it's excellent. We discussed this in my thread, "Reversals: what do *you* think?" not too long ago; check it, it may be of help! & BTW - *yes*, I think that your cards are trying to tell you something!
