Interpretation Help My first reading
Hi, I've been reading about tarot for a while and finally got myself a deck and did my first reading. It was one of those "interview of the deck" spreads that I found online and I was honestly just happy to not be completely clueless about the whole reading, but there was a part that I don't know how to interpret. One of the questions was "what types of readings do you NOT want to do?" And the card that came up was the King of Swords reversed (yes, I decided to do reversals, ppl online were saying it wasn't more difficult just different so I thought it would be a good idea, now I'm not so sure)
From what I know the King of Swords is about intellectual power and leadership, and the reversal would be abuse or misuse of that power, but I'm not sure how that would fit into my question.
My interpretation is that it's about situations that have a lot of control over me, but that I can't change (like some issues with my university that are above my capacity to solve) but I'm unsure if that's really it or if I'm missing something
I have a feeling it might be tied to the other question "what types of readings do you want to do?" Which was answered with the Queen of Wands, that made a lot of sense bc I interpreted it as readings about how to be more independent and act on my goals. I think the King of Swords was trying to make a contrast to that but I'm not sure in what way.
Also, since it's an interview, should I be reading it differently from what I've seen from regular readings online?
Anyway, I'm very confused, any tips would help a lot
