Is there a proper way to flip Tarot cards?
Personally, I always flip them horizontally instead of vertically, toward or away, to maintain the orientation. But like most techniques in Tarot, other options will work so long as you are clear on your intent to work that way.
What it means when a tarot card is upside down?
Their definition needs to be flipped over. The Fool usually means someone who’s carefree and ready to take a risk. The Fool reversed means the opposite—someone who’s anxious and always takes extra precautions. Getting a reversed card means you get a tarot card definition and have it flipped 180-degrees over.
Do you have to cleanse tarot cards?
“Tarot cards are traditionally given as gifts,” Tarra says. “Cleansing the cards and doing a protection ritual for them before you give them to a new owner will neutralize any weird energies they’ve picked along the way.”
What is the first thing you should do in a Tarot deck?
How to Get Started:

- Give the cards a thorough shuffle.
- Cut the cards into three piles and then put them into one pile again.
