Different reading styles can create different meanings for your cards. The meaning depends on the position and orientation of the card. simply using a search engine can find a website showing styles of reading and the meaning of the cards. Here's a simple site, showing the meanings both upright and reversed.
There's an overview of the meanings here http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/ I don't know what book you read, but they are pretty simple to understand at that site.
different cards have different meanings depending on where they are in the reading and if they are right side up or reversed. if you can be more specific about what you are asking, which layout you are reading and what card it is you drew I can help you with specific readings
I read Tarot for some 35 years, and I found that most of the books don't help much. What you have to do is close the book and read the cards. First, lay out the Major Arcana on a table, putting zero first. What you have here is a set of all the symbols needed to depict the human experience. It's really good if you have two or three rather different decks, so you can compare them. Why does this one use a different color for the background, or change the gender of the central figure, or whatever elements they do not have in common? Then look at what they have in common. These are the elements that all three artists agree are fundamental to the card's meaning. Then lay out the four minor arcana suits, lined up with wands at the top, then cups, then swords, then pentacles. Study each card for what is similar (basic to the number) and what is different (specific to the suit). The court cards should be after the numbered cards, low to high. There is an excellent book that does basically this, using the Rider-Waite deck, the Crowley Thoth deck, and the Golden Dawn deck. They are sufficiently different but all quite well established. It's called "The Qabalistic Tarot" by Robert Wang. He is also the artist for the Golden Dawn deck.
For the purposes of reading, I don't see why the can't mean whatever you want. The meanings that are given in various books all differ from author to author but have derived ultimately from the French occultists who began the practice of divination with tarot. These early meanings were attributed without any real knowledge of where the cards came from or what they were intended to represent. For example, Antoine Court de Gebelin turned The Hanged Man the other way up and called him Prudence. He also believed that tarot images came from Ancient Egypt - he was not able to know that tarot actually came from mid 15th century Italy. Over recent decades, a number of historians have done a great deal of work on tarot and the consensus seems to be that the trumps represent a Christian Triumph procession. To return to The Hanged Man, in Italy this card was called The Traitor - and with good reason. Italians executed traitors by hanging them by one foot till they died - publicly and painfully. The card is often shown with coins falling or holding money bags, which has led some early occultists to believe the card to be Judas. However, Italy had Shame Pictures. Basically, if someone betrayed a trust, then you would employ an artist to draw their likeness hung as a traitor - this was then publicly displayed to shame them. The most common subject for shame pictures were bad debtors, hence the money bags! Other misunderstood cards include The Female Pope, which, contrary to popular myths, the church never objected to because it was actually an established figure in Christian art, used to represent any number of things such as the New Covenant and the Virtue of Faith. Also, we have the Hermit, who became so because of a copying error - he was originally Old Father Time and instead of a lantern, he carried an hour glass. If you want to learn about what the cards were intended to represent, then you're going to have to study some history - there's just no way around that. If your concern is just for divination, then you don't need to rely upon what others say - ultimately their attributions came down to what seemed intuitive to someone according to an erroneous understanding of the cards origins. If you want to try and divine with them, why not go with your own attributions? I don't see what difference it can make.

Hi Ali, I'm new to Tarot too and I'm still having a having a hard time grasping the meanings of the cards but these are the two sources I've been using in combination to learn the meanings.
Each card means something different, and can be interpreted many different ways. It takes a bit of intuition to read the cards, that they can't be read by just the definitions in the book. They have themes of life.
From what i remember. Their meanings came from the stars.
Each card represents a stage in life. They represent our journey and the different phases and conditions of that journey. It helps to remember that even though we are all different from one another (personalities, likes, dislikes, appearances, etc) we all share the common bond of Life and its passages. The cards are divided into two parts. One part represents personal traits while the other part represents situations. It is much too difficult to write it all here but there are some great sites (and sorry but books too) to help you. There is no easier way of learning them then to get a deck of cards and read (or learn) a new card or reading every day. I wish you the best in your journey and your discoveries. Blessings, Light & Love.
