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

With court cards, it's an alliance to start something. Example: Two of Wands + King of Wands is a partner with vision.
With Cups, it's slow-burning desire. Example: Two of Wands + Two of Cups is lovely tension before taking the step.
With doubt cards, plans go on forever. Example: Two of Wands + Two of Swords is planning so much you never start.

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