I got my first tarot reading today, and was struggling to interpret anything out of the cards, despite the help of my girlfriend (who decided to try something new, and thought I'd make a good test subject.)
I tried not to be dismissive of the process; after all, it just seems to be a way to get your subconscious to answer hard questions. But I think I gave myself a few roadblocks anyway.
Something creepy happened though. In three readings (I kept saying "I don't get it. Let's try again.") the Five of Swords kept popping up, reversed, to the left of the original card.
If there is anything to this at all, then that card had some sort of significance, right? Problem is, I can't find an interpretation of the card that makes sense to me.
How do you generally interpret this card?
