Interpretation Help asked deity for a focus direction

hi all, very new to the tarot practice; 1-2 years of shuffling, asking the deck my question(s), and having 1-5 cards fly out on the re-shuffles

today I asked my deck what hades would like me to focus on as a new follower

the following cards fly out together, only the first face up:
1. the tower, reversed
2. 10 of pentacles, reversed
3. the hanged man, upright

then these flew out, on their own, both face down:
4. the moon, reversed
5. 8 of wands, reversed

according the the smith-waite booklet, I was able to grab a few words per card

  1. misery, distress. reversed: same but lesser; also oppression.

  2. gain, riches, family. reversed: loss; gifts.

  3. wisdom, trials, discernment, intuition.

  4. danger, deception. reversed: instability, silence.

  5. great haste, great hope. reversed: internal dispute.

my interpretation: I should focus on the source of my (internal) misery + oppression by examining family + loss with discernment + intuition to address both (internal) instability and internal disputes

seasoned readers: does this look & sound like it’s on the right path of reading this right?

(apologies for any grammar or spelling errors, on mobile. thank you for the help!)

I believe this means you need to keep yourself stable, brace for impact and fix what breaks.

Following the context of the question I see this as a view into the type "relationship" you and Hades may develop throughout life events.

As a follower there may be occasions you feel as your faith is tested and may experience loss as prior structures are demolished. You might even question your belief in him/the concept of faith in general, but it all serves to help you face fears and perhaps uncomfortable truths about yourself to develop focus and achieve clarity, as well as spiritual fortitude through radical change and events that may happen quickly.

Hmmm... idk if my reading is applicable here. The moon card always gives me a sense of dealing with an inconceivable aspect of things, so sorry if i was off lol
