Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Portable Magic: composed of the repeated suit symbol. The scenes on the number tarot cards in a modern deck such as the Rider Waite Tarot express, in a dramatic visual way, the meanings of the tarot cards according to the personal interpretation of the deck designer. It is regrettable that many who use modern decks mistake these interpretive scenes for the primary meanings of the numbered suit tarot cards, rather than basing their understanding on the numbers themselves.

Reversed Cards: Could there be any doubt that Venus is the ruling planet of the Empress? Of course not, for she is love manifest. What she creates comes straight from her heart; she taps into the power of Venus, the planet of true love, beauty, and power and allows it to flow through her in all its glory. The Empress is a vessel through which Venus manifests in the physical world. But here in the retrograde aspect, Venus is taking some downtime, and so should you. Being Empress is demanding and can take its toll. Yet even here in the retrograde aspect, her decisions are based on love, love for herself and her well-being.
