Each card carries its own unique message. If the card is reversed i.e. appears
upside-down to the client when it is turned face-up, it displays a more negative
meaning.
Here is a brief description of the cards' meanings. But you don't need to remember
them all - your reading from destinytold.com will explain everything your spread has
revealed. And don't forget, if you want a private one-to-one reading, you can call
