Any tips on learning to read tarot cards together?

Like earth cards with fire cards and the other combinations of elements. Does it mean that fire motivates the earth cards into action? Does it mean when water cards mix with fire cards the emotions are amped-up or does the fire quinch the emotions? How do air cards and water cards mix? Etc. Or do you not read the elements of the cards like this at all?

What is your take on 9 of Cups reversed? I read on a web site this: "The 9 of Cups, whether reversed or upright, is one of the most uplifting and pleasant cards to receive in a reading. Known often as the "wish card" it can mean that what you are hoping for or dreaming about most is very likely to be yours. The reversal says that the wishes for you will go even deeper; these are not superficial wishes that are at play now. That's a good thing." And for love: "Love: Reversed or upright, this card is a very good omen for your love life. Existing relationships are likely to deepen, become sweeter and more meaningful, at very deep levels. If you're single, you are likely to meet someone with whom you can have a deep, very meaningful and real relationship in the next few weeks. Mingle!" Do you agree or disagree?

Are there any other cards when reversed mean the same as upright but deeper as what was described for the 9 of Cups reversed above?

Any other advice for a beginner on how to read cards together especialy for a love reading? What cards do you want to see in a love reading together? What cards you don't want to see in love reading together?

What about the numbers of the cards combination? What are the numbers that work well together? What are the numbers that are at odds with each other?

I know I just asked a lot of questions but any insight at all will help me.

Any other insight you want to share?

Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions!! It is much appreciated!!

Very happy to see your interest in Tarot

elemental Dignities

I initially never considered them, but I'm learning. a great help here
http://taroteon.com/elemental-dignities/the-complete-guide-to-using -elemental-dignities-in-a-tarot-reading/

This page has elemental combination of each kind for all four elements.The blog is great BTW.

Reversals
I do not read reversals. Its been a rule since day 1. I guess it will over complicate things for me. I want to learn the basics meanings, combinations etc first and then IF i find a great source which explains why we should use reversals, I might as well.

Love & Relationships readings

If you want to focus on love & relationships readings,
http://lovedovetarot.com/2012/06/28/multiples-and-pairings-in-love-tarot-readings/
http://lovedovetarot.com/category/card-meanings/love-card-combinations/

The blog is great and she has a great load of information for cards in love readings.

For each card's meaning specially for love reading
http://tarotreadingpsychic.com/category/love-and-tarot/

Hope this helps.

numerology of tarot http://www.bewitchingways.com/tarot/numerology.htm

I suggest you take it one step at a time. Look for the resources that make the most sense to you. start with the deck which allows you to work with all the numerological and astrological aspects of tarot. then work one card at a time. I know its very overwhelming and you want to start reading right away but that is sure not the right approach. because after a while it will stop making any sense. So start with one card, any card, meditate on it, see what comes to your mind. research with its meanings. then look at the number and what the number on card tells you. then look for astrological correspondences. there are many schools for that but you should choose one and then stick to it. I stick to the Golden dawn astrological associations given in blog i posted in first link under elemental dignities.

Best of luck

Thanks so much LBA!! Really nice of you to take the time and post all the info for me!I will check these out. Gives me something to do tonight.

My cards are kept in the upright position but when a reversed meaning is needed they somehow make their way out reversed usually by dropping on the floor or some other way somehow. I sometimes sit back and scratch my head and wonder "how did that just happen".
