The keywords for each topic describe the card upright; the reversed meaning has its own line.

With The Chariot, the project takes off fast. Example: Three of Wands + The Chariot is broadening horizons strongly.
With Cups, it's a declaration. Example: Three of Wands + Three of Cups is expressing what you feel openly.
With scattering cards, too many fronts open. Example: Three of Wands + reversed Eight of Wands is burning out on a thousand things at once.

Remember cards speak of energies and tendencies, not a fixed destiny 💕
