That’s a great question! I usually store my deck with all the cards Upright as it feels more organized to me, so more often that not I keep them that way for a reading. Sometimes I do shuffle them around to get reversals if I want to give the deck more “language” to use in communication, but I’ve found that my deck can get most messages across using just Upright 
It has prevented me from learning the meanings of Reversals though- I should do more readings with reversed cards! 
It sounds like you have a close connection with Veaug, @Kasandra! Your cat tarot deck is gorgeous and it looks like it helped you connect with your kitty 
Great job!
Congrats on your first 5-card spread, @Susurrus! It sounds like you had a lot of jumpers- I’m always grateful for jumpers since sometimes I’m not sure when to stop shuffling and jumpers give me confidence that that’s the card the deck wants me to find 
Great job on your reading- it looks like you got some reassurance that you are headed in the right direction! 
The cards seem to be supporting your decisions and helping to banish any doubts, @IrisW- that’s a very encouraging sign! Perhaps consider drawing a follow-up card each day or week as needed to help hone in on your path to sobriety. With long term self-challenges, it helps to do a tarot check-in to see what needs to be focused on/avoided for each step of the journey. I’m cheering for you on your journey to sobriety, Iris! 
That sounds like a beautiful New Moon spell drawing on the Ace of Wands, @Amethyst- thanks for sharing! May the fresh new energy bring you something new and wonderful 
Congrats on the good reading with Biddy, @mary25! It can be tough to make the leap from having a professional reader to reading for yourself. If you are following the guidelines from multiple sources and still don’t feel good about your readings, perhaps you are lacking a connection with your deck? You want to spend more time bonding with your cards, or try a new deck. Wishing you all the best with your meditation and nature connection- enjoy!
You are very thoughtful to do a reading for the Spells8 community, @Katy_Mysticsens! 
As for the meanings, the move has been a bit chaotic but we’re finding balance now- so I can say this reading resonates with me! Thanks for digging into tarot even if it’s not your divination tool of choice- you have a natural gift for intuitive readings!
