I recently picked up a book called Tarot: Plain & Simple by Anthony Louis and find it interesting that he distinguishes a difference between positive (+) cards in a spread and negative (-) cards in a spread.
For example:
"Eight of Cups Reversed: In it's positive aspect, the Eight of Cups reversed means you have succeeded in putting a difficult situation behind you and are now ready to celebrate a new phase in your life. In its' negative aspect, you may be having trouble letting go of an unsatisfactory relationship...."
a) When doing a reading, is it merely intuition that tells you whether or not a specific card should be read with the (+) connotation rather than the (-)?
b) How do you decide whether the energy is "blocked", "opposites", or "up-side down", with reference to the reversed card interpretations found here:
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/reversals/ ?
I appreciate any feedback I can get. I understand that it is probably my intuition I need to use on reading these cards, but I just want to make sure there isn't something I'm missing.
