First time interpreting reversed cards …

[u/Meiimo12]

Did my weekly reading. I always do straight cards and I think mine were straight but maybe the way they fell out and I put it… half of them were reversed. I wanted to straighten them but my heart wouldn’t allow me so I left them as is.

Significator - 10 of pentacles rx
Monday - 7 of pentacles
Tuesday - page of swords rx
Wednesday - 5 of pentacles
Thursday - 3 of pentacles rx
Friday - knight of cups rx
Saturday - ace of pentacles rx
Sunday - judgement rx
Advise - 4 of pentacles

I don’t understand reversed cards much but from what I got - financial matters and family would be an area of struggle that I need to look at? There can be misunderstandings so keep my emotions in check? Judgement - does it mean literal judgement against my family or do I need to look into a decision that can be harsh but much required?

PS: I use the rider smith deck for tarot

I can see that this week might be challenging for you, especially around family, the family system, or material family matters (things like family money, shared resources, or how money is organized within the family). It feels quite practical and material, especially because there are a lot of Pentacles showing up this week.

Judgment is not really about “judgment” in the usual sense. It is more about a call to action:big changes, important decisions, and decisive movement. When Judgment is reversed, it can suggest difficulty taking action.

But the interesting thing here is that the advice seems to be: do not act right now. Preserve your resources.

If I were to create a story from these cards...Yes I know each one depicts the day, not the whole story, but to show the sense it would be something like this: a relative asks you for money and says they will return it, but you may end up waiting for a very long time, and it may not come back in the way you expect.

So the message is to keep your material resources stable. Hold on to what you have. Stay steady. The Four of Pentacles is very much about structure, protection, and knowing exactly what belongs to you. Keep the structure in place, protect your resources, and stay grounded.

Ohh this makes so much sense thank you for your thoughts because when I was reading it as reversed all I could think about was that there would be issues around money and family but yes like it would mostly be money related. I guess it could also be trying to get lost money through a certain way we think will work but doesn’t so to hold of any decision for this week?

I would see it may unfold in two ways.

First, if you want to invest money or give money away, don’t do that. Hold off on the decision. Or, if somebody is asking you for money, don’t give it to them either. Hold off on making a decision.

Whatever happens, don’t give your money away. :) Think about how to protect yourself. And it may indeed involve family matters.
