I asked who my Spirit Guides were and the picture below is the answer I received. I'm curious about what your interpretation of the cards mean?
Also I'm just beginning, which is why I'm asking :) thanks!

What spread did you use? I don't recognize the layout so without knowing what the card positions mean it's a bit hard to help with interpretation.
That being said, you do have a major arcana (the Tower) and a face card (the Queen of Swords) so I'd say both of those are cards to pay attention to as far as identification goes - swords represent air and the mind, so that could be important.
I used the universal rider waite tarot and, in the book I'm studying, it mentions to form a Celtic Cross for some readings. This was my first time doing so, since I mostly just pick one card for a daily read (to get the hang of understanding the interpretations and create a connection with the deck), or I pick 3.
The celtic cross usually uses 10 cards, so some of the positions might be missing - distant past and near future, certainly, but one of the cards on the right side is also empty and I think it should be up to you what roles you want the three that are present to fill. (Those being outcome, inner emotions, environmental factors, and your attitude.) Or you could pick an additional 3 to help clarify further if you like.
However, with the four that are definite I can try to help a bit! Take what I say with a grain of salt, though, because interpretation is personal and I'm still learning too.
The first two cards are the Queen of Swords in reverse influenced by the four of wands - so even though the Queen in reverse can represent masks, illusions, etc (the opposite of her typical meaning) the four of wands represents order, rest, and achievement. It helps counterbalance what could be a negative read on the reversed card.
The two of Swords is in a good position, beneath the first card - it could indicate that obstacles are beneath you, so whoever your guide is they may want to help you avoid obstacles and perhaps see through illusions... especially since the seven of cups can also have to do with things that are not real (delusions).
Based on those, you might want to consider potential guides that are about vision, clarity, and the like - especially if they're also associated with water or air, because you drew more cards having to do with those than the other suits/elements.
