If a card is reversed
Reversed, the The Magician reads as: scattered energy or untapped talent. Check whether your gifts are being used, or whether someone's words are smoother than their deeds. Reversed, the The High Priestess reads as: secrets, or ignoring your intuition. Noise may be drowning out the still small voice. Step back and listen inward. A reversal softens, delays or turns the pair's message inward.
