Does anyone else read reversals as internal blocks rather than external events?

I've started noticing that when I pull a reversed card, it usually matches a feeling I'm avoiding more than an actual situation. Curious if others read them that way too.

Yeah, I mostly read them that way too — like the energy is there but it’s stuck or turned inward. Do you ever flip it back upright in your head to see what the block is actually protecting?

All the time — flipping it upright usually shows me the core need behind the block, like the reversed Two of Swords protecting someone from having to make a choice they’re not ready for.

Yeah, I mostly read them that way too—like the energy is there but it’s tangled up inside rather than playing out in the world. Do you ever find a reversal that still feels external to you, or is it pretty consistent?

Mostly consistent, but every once in a while a reversed card will land like a stalled delivery or a person dragging their feet on the other side of a situation—so I’ll read it as external friction if the surrounding cards clearly point outward.
