Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games. In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.

Dignified or reversed – Lack or inability to give and take. Projects pursued that are destined to fail because of their impractical nature. Delays and disarray.
