Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books
Complete Book of Tarot: As the central theme, the Chariot represented his journey to China to find work in his profession. As he and I discussed the variations on this theme, it became clear that the Page of Swords was linked to a recent conversation he had with his family, in which they told him that they wished that he would move back to Spain to live closer to them, get married, and start a family (themes linked to the Hierophant). To his family, the decision to live and work in China seemed a very unusual way to pursue a career (symbolized by the Hanged Man). His hope was that eventually all would be happy with his decision and celebrate his success (Three of Cups).

Reversed Cards: The Five of Cups in the blocked aspect shows an inability to move beyond your current emotional state. You have experienced a loss of sorts. But it is over and done with, and you need to get those waters flowing again. Here in the blocked aspect, the watery energy of the cups is amplifying your response to something that is no longer an option. It is a red flag to let you know you have lingered in this particular watering ground for far too long. Continue to stay at your own peril. Move or get swept up by the dangerous undercurrent.
Complete Book of Tarot: Being gaseous, Air rises. The element Fire also rises, as it represents radiant energy that can escape the Earths atmosphere. The light (fire) from the sun travels through space to reach our planet. The two upward- and outer-directed elements, Fire and Air, are considered active masculine principles. In the tarot, the suit of Wands is commonly associated with Fire and the suit of Swords with Air. The pip cards of the Wands and Swords typically represent circumstances and emotional situations with an upward outward movement (excitement, adventure, conflict, travel, expansion, relocation, departure, etc.).
