Greetings @NubianQueen! > [@NubianQueen](#): > > horizontally or vertically? Maybe I’m not understanding this well (apologies if so!) but I’ve never heard of tarot cards being read horizontally (on their side)- they are almost always placed vertically (and are either right side up or upside down). Perhaps this is something unique to your deck? > [@NubianQueen](#): > > tarot cards that have the upright and reversal meanings on the card Are you perhaps talking about the Deck of Oppositions? It is the only deck I know that has both the “upright” and “reversed” versions of the card pictured. ![b42feb8ef863321c41f8080fee1d686659ee87fb_2_999x750](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/1/0/107803d9440ddcb0d4f192e2087b994a606d2237.jpeg) _Picture from [Tarot Deck Review~ Tarot of Oppositions](https://forum.spells8.com/t/tarot-deck-review-tarot-of-oppositions/22421)_ If this (or a very similar deck) is what you’re working with, it is indeed a very unique deck and has unique ways to read it! I usually shuffle well and then read the picture that appears on top, although sometimes I read the “middle version” (the point between upright and reserved). Any way is fine, but it is important to specify your reading style _before_ drawing and revealing the cards. Like Amethyst said, the guidebook is really helpful in walking you through the methods and providing examples 😀 Blessed be and happy readings! ✨ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.spells8.com/t/tarot-readings/29707)._
