Tarot as an Energetic System:
The ON/OFF Codes of Consciousness and Creational Flow

TAROT ISN’T ABOUT “GOOD” OR “BAD"—-
-—IT’S ABOUT ENERGY IN MOTION

Let’s set the record straight:
Tarot isn’t some flimsy fortune-telling gimmick where an upright card means,

"yay, good things!"

--and a reversed card means--

"oh no, bad luck!"

That's just surface-level, streetfair-psychic nonsense. A tarot card spread doesn't tell us about fortune or misfortune. What a reading does provides us with is an active readout of how energy is moving to form the dynamic shape of reality.

It’s not about fate— it’s about function.

  • Upright cards → Energy is flowing toward you. You’re on the receiving end of an energetic force— it’s moving, transmitting, happening.
  • Reversed cards → The energy is still already present, but it requires deliberate effort, direction, or correction. It’s not blocked--it’s just not moving on its own. You have to engage with it.

Think of it like a relay race where the baton (energy) is constantly moving.
  • Upright? The baton is being passed to you, or you’re actively running with it. The momentum is there.
  • Reversed? The baton is in transition. You need to take action to ensure it moves properly—whether that means passing, adjusting, reclaiming, or letting go.

If a card is reversed, it doesn’t mean the energy is gone—it means you are responsible for actively directing it.
That might mean:

  • Ensuring the baton is properly passed (put real effort into something instead of waiting for it to resolve itself).
  • Adjusting your grip before you drop it (course-correct before a situation spirals).
  • Picking up a baton you already dropped (fix a mistake or reclaim lost momentum).
  • Letting go of a baton that isn’t yours (quit carrying unnecessary burdens).
Instead of asking, "Is this good or bad?" the real question is:
"How is this energy moving, and what do I need to do with it?"
This simple shift in perspective changes everything. Because once you understand Tarot as a system for reading energy flow, it stops being about guesswork and starts becoming a structured way to understand what’s happening—and what you can do about it.


IN SUMMARY:

When a card is upright, the energy is already in play—you’re in the active process of receiving it. When it’s reversed, that same energy is still present, but it’s in your hands to direct. And that’s not just some symbolic idea.

It’s literally an energetic function, the fundamental ON/OFF mechanics that encode all of reality.


TAROT AS AN ENERGETIC ON/OFF SYSTEM:
THE BINARY CODING OF CREATION

Now that we’ve established the basics, let’s talk about why Tarot actually functions this way.

Reality itself operates through ON/OFF encoding. Everything moves through binary oscillations—expansion/contraction, wave/particle, active/passive, 0s and 1s, OFF and ON.

Tarot mirrors this exact same system.

  • Upright Cards → “ON” state, 1, Macrocosmic Occurances, Primordial Masculine, Energy manifesting outward.
  • Reversed Cards → “OFF” state, 0, Microcosmic Occurances, Primordial Feminine, Energy needing intervention.

Like we just said before, this isn’t just a cute metaphor. It’s the literal computational encoding of reality being expressed through Tarot as a functional readout system.

When you pull a tarot card, you’re not just getting a vague theme-- You’re getting a direct snapshot of how a particular force is currently oscillating within your present reality.

Upright vs. Reversed: Key Differences
Both positions are dealing with the same fundamental energy. The difference is in how the energy is being processed and engaged with.
Core Function Upright (1 / ON / Active Mode) Reversed (0 / OFF / Passive Mode)
Transmission Energy is flowing outward, actively manifesting. Energy is inward, delayed, blocked, or requiring adjustment.
Position of Engagement You are in the receiving position. The energy is moving toward you. You are in the output position. The energy is in your hands to direct, correct, or release.
Manifestation Style Occurs naturally. It’s externalized and recognizable. Requires conscious direction or effort to engage properly.
Effect in a Reading Something is happening. The momentum is present. Something is misaligned, delayed, internalized, or in need of redirection.

THE MAJOR ARCANA:
A BLUEPRINT FOR CONSCIOUS EXPANSION

Now that we’ve established that card positions dictate energy flow, the next question is:

“What exactly is flowing?”
The Major Arcana isn’t just a collection of mystical archetypes—it’s a complete map of how consciousness expands and evolves. - The Fool (0) is the starting point—pure potential before intention forms. - Each card represents a different stage of energy unfolding into experience. - The World (21) is full integration—the completion of a cycle before the next one begins. Every Major Arcana card represents a force of reality— but the card’s position tells us how that force is currently functioning.

Think of the Major Arcana like a cycle of energetic phases:
  • A card upright means that force is naturally unfolding.
  • A card reversed means the force is still there, but it’s not fully externalized yet—you have to consciously engage with it.

The question then becomes:

"What phase of consciousness are you in, and is it flowing or requiring adjustment?"
