Tarot cards reversed meanings?

I heard that the reversed meanings when reading tarot cards have only been introduced recently to make more money out of them. should tarot cards always be read in upright position? thanks :)

Tarot cards reversed meanings?
I was always taught that reversed cards had specifically different (yet along the same lines) meanings to the upright meaning. I've been reading tarot for almost 10 years now and this has always been the case in the circles I move in. On the older Deck I use which based on an old Celtic version of tarot the cards actually have an "upright" and "reversed" picture on them for easier translation, considering they are based on a much older deck than the usual Raider Waite that I use I imagine that this is quite an old part of tarot reading. I've never heard of it making more money?! But then I personally do not read for payment.

Reply:It depends on who you ask. The reverse meanings can give you a better look at the opposite side of the coin so to speak. Not everything all roses and puppy dogs.
Reply:reversed meanings have been part of the Tarot since they have been used. The upright usually indicate a positive application of the card, when reversed this indicates the opposite but not necessarily a evil thing or meaning

The Red Sox won and five people died.
Reply:It depends what spread you use, some do have reversed meanings ... ... Tarot readings should always be in the positive not the negative ... ... a Tarot reading is a guide and nothing more ... .. ...
Reply:No they always had a meaning if they come out upside down.
