Just to follow up, I thought I'd let you know that the possible combinations of 78 tarot cards in a traditional 10 card spread is somewhere in the Hundreds of Quadrillions.

I love that.

Good night.

Reversed

With variable meanings for the cards being upside-down, you have to count it as though there are 156 cards, no?
Monkey wrench!
I suppose you don't tend to deal with reversed cards. Or didn't, years ago, when you did my last reading.

I still don't, unless there are those which are upside down, for no real reason. I tend to make sure they're all facing the same way, so if one's turned around, I pay attention.

Does "pay attention" mean there's a different meaning? 'cause if it is, yeah... 156.
Although exceptionally unlikely for there to be more than two reversed.
