My tarot reading showed the Fool upright, Strength upside down, and The Moon upside down…can someone?
interpert this? It happened two times in a row.
The question was for general advice but I think it could've been focused on career
The fool was upright and the other were reversed.
What a wonderfully, exciting reading! I understand your confusion, but let me shed some light on the reading so that you can appreciate it’s meaning. First, I must tell you that, although many Tarot readers consider the meaning of “reversed” cards differently than if the card appears “upright,” I was taught (back in 1980 by a very wise teacher) that cards should be read the same whether it is reversed or upright. The only thing you should note with a reversed card is that the energy of that card may be temporarily blocked and that the Seeker (that's YOU) may need to work a little harder to have the energy of the card actualized. . . but regardless of the card’s orientation (upright or reversed)—the card’s potential is present nonetheless. I know there are Tarot readers that will disagree, and that is their choice; but in the 28 years I have been reading, I have never “read or interpreted” a reversed card any differently than an upright card.
Since this is a three card reading, I am assuming that the first position (The Fool) represents where you have been (past), the second position (Strength) represents where you are (present), and the third position (The Moon) represents where you are going (future). The simple interpretation is that you have begun a journey that did not necessarily get the “approval” of others—but, good for you—you started a journey that is right for you. This journey has brought you to a place where mind over matter is key. Enlightenment is right around the corner. . .be patient; have the courage to continue, and you will be unstoppable. I say that enlightenment is around the corner, but before you get there, you may have doubts and you may feel like you have lost your way—but don’t fear (remember your Strength). The way will be revealed. Trust your intuition; trust yourself.
I have included some detailed information about each card for you. Meditate upon the meaning of each card. Keep in mind how the three cards are actually working together. Stop worrying. This is an exciting time. Bright Blessings!
The Fool almost always stands for new beginnings, potential, new experiences and new choices; the first steps along a new path. Beginnings are neither positive nor negative, but with the potential to turn into either, depending on the choices you make and the path you follow. The Fool is the spark that sets everything into motion, the divine breath that gives life and inspires the first step towards fulfillment and completion. Though called a Fool by others, the Fool does not pay them any attention, and simply goes on his way. The Fool’s ignorance of the world can lead him to do things that more experienced people would never imagine. But in these things the Fool can find knowledge and enlightenment. The Fool does not care what others think or say because The Fool knows that what he is doing is right for him. The only approval he requires is his own. The Fool has total faith in himself. Perhaps he is not such a fool after all. Never let another person control your life. Live in the present and trust in your own abilities - this is the way of the Fool. The Fool has no qualms about taking chances, so why should you?
Strength is not a card of brute force, but mind over matter. True Strength is fortitude of character. The qualities that abound in Strength are courage and patience. Strength is a card of quiet, yet unstoppable power. Such power radiates from the soul. The qualities of Strength are already in you, waiting to appear once you are ready to move on to the spiritual tasks that lie ahead. Its main lesson is that emotions must be transcended if spiritual wisdom and intuition are to be awakened. Conquer your fears, control your impulses, and never lose patience with yourself or what you are doing. When Strength is around, however, you can be assured that you have enough endurance to see your tasks through to its eventual end. If you are pushing too hard, Strength shows the need to withdraw for the moment, and be patient. Enlightenment will come only when the time is right; it cannot be rushed.
The Moon of the Tarot tends to deal with fertility of imagination rather than fertility of body. With the Moon, you must travel in the dark, not knowing for sure if your path is the right one. There is no sunlight to guide you, no distant landmark in the hills to direct your steps, no one to travel alongside. This is a journey that must be made alone, in darkness and without a map or a compass. You must learn to rely on your own inner light to lead you along the true path. The Moon's appearance in a reading almost always means that something is not as it appears to be, and that vigilance and perception will be necessary to find that which is hidden. You must open your eyes and see what it really going on. The Moon can indicated that there are times when you are not sure of your destination, or even of the path you are traveling - but you travel nonetheless. It's quite possible that you have lost your way, and are stumbling around in the dark. But don’t fear–The Moon is a card of intuition and psychic forces, so let go of your conscious mental blocks and let your intuition guide you. Not only will the way forward be revealed, but in a lot of cases you will learn lessons about yourself that will be valuable in later journeys.

I can tell you exactly what it means - nothing. Tarot cards are just pictures printed on cardboard. You really believe they can tell the future?

It doesn't mean anything because Tarot cards are full of crap. You'd get a better reading from a deck of playing cards.

I'm not sure, the fool, represents madness doesn't he?
I'm not sure, I haven't done mine in a long time now.
