Upright meaning

“It is a card of valour, for, on the surface, six are attacking one, who has, however, the vantage position. On the intellectual plane, it signifies discussion, wordy strife; in business--negotiations, war of trade, barter, competition. It is further a card of success, for the combatant is on the top and his enemies may be unable to reach him”
A. E. WAITE — THE PICTORIAL KEY TO THE TAROT, 1911

Reversed meaning

“Perplexity, embarrassments, anxiety. It is also a caution against indecision”
