The negative sides of card meanings are not literally opposite meanings to their upright counterparts, it's more like a 'twisting' of the original menaing. A 'reversed' meaning can mean the same as the upright meaning perhaps to a lesser degree, or in your example of happiness and celebrations, a negative version may indicate 'too much of a good thing' or an inability to enjoy said celebrations. Sometimes negative cards are made even worse by a reversed meaning, sometimes their impact is lessened. Try to imagine as many different twists as you can of the original meaning- perhaps write some down in a journal- and you will see how many different ways you can interpret a card.
