Notes
Reversed cards indicate blocked, internalized, or emerging energy. Each reading draws its reversal rate from a Beta(3,7) distribution - averaging ~30% but varying per session (roughly 10-50%). This makes some readings heavily reversed, others mostly upright, reflecting the natural variability of shuffled decks.
The oracle avoids binary yes/no answers, preferring nuanced guidance.
