...is it a trick quesiton?
Eventually some sort of marriage of the 2 happens imo (as well as the reader throwing in
any astrology, numerology, runes etc. that they may also have knowledge of).
Sometimes - one's clients who have no Tarot knowledge, give new meanings
that match neither intuitive nor traditional (intuitive for them).
The traditional also changes over time and culture - so the variation grows...
"Adaptability" is the key - and the joy of weaving the story.
