Guidance I am the one who picks up the pieces and puts them back together in order: Stand back and watch me wade into this mess. There’s a mentality that is overwhelmed by an out-of-control situation, and there’s a mentality that gets out the shop vac for the debris. These are the people muggers pass by. Confidence you can handle the situation is often the whole battle!
Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!

Now, Part Two,
Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,
*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together in your mind to make the messages.
*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say. It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in today’s Spread. All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim™.
You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim™ works.
This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there’s more variety – even contradictions – and also the pronouns are more flexible. If it feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ and you’re a ‘she,’ feel free to adopt it anyway.
Seven of Cups
Seven of Wands – Page of Pentacles – Strength
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
Seven of Wands and Strength and Seven of Cups Three of our four cards show confrontation or combat: Seven of Wands is being intruded upon (or is intruding); Strength is handling a confrontational intrusion; Seven of Cups is confronted with a panic-inducing out-of-control situation… the demons are on the loose.
Strength and Seven of Cups can both be about spirits affecting a person’s life.
Seven of Wands and Strength are both defending themselves against some opponent.
Let’s look at the spread card by card, shall we?
In the center, we have an observer, Page of Pentacles, one who thinks … whatever; and it also means a straight person who pays attention. It is more often a male than a female, so we will call it a ‘him.’
To the left of (him) is defense, pushiness, being faced with overwhelming opposition or an out-of-control scene … usually a confrontation (Seven of Wands).
To the right of him is Taming the Beast, someone defusing confrontation, a master of combat (including the reconciling of internal conflicts), possibly spiritual combat, finessing the opposition, and it is Strength, a female gender card. It means to put down an intrusion, attack or opposition diplomatically with the force of personality rather than overt force. To charm the mugger. To tame the foe or render it harmless gracefully. Strength also represents the solution to a problem. Sometimes it is ‘the magic touch’ that fixes a scene. She is petting the lion.
Over them all is mind-boggling chaos or confusion, and ‘all kinds of things.’ A Seven of Cups melee. It can be spirits out of control as well (Sorcerer’s Apprentice or Pandora’s Box story is the basis of this Rider Waite Tarot illustration.)
These four cards tell a story of a master finessing or controlling a conflict or combat that is not controllable, and someone is observing and drawing personal conclusions. Strength could mean this is an entirely internal conflict, a person finding it in him- or her- self to resist some internal demons.

Seven of Wands Rousted from sleep (He is wearing a nightshirt.) by neighbors who want to take over his land, he is confronted by overwhelming odds. Defending oneself or one’s belongings. Disruption, intrusion, defiance, rude displays. The pushy, mouthy punk who wants to take over. The drunk who screams for his car keys. The ‘I’m mad as hell and I won’t take it anymore’ mood.
Page of Pentacles observes and is thoughtful. A young person who is straight, has good intentions, and is studying the environment, taking it in. This is one of the ‘good guy’ cards in Rider Waite. It means ‘person’ as well as ‘guy.’ It often translates ‘I see,’ and ‘I think.’ It also translates ‘self.’
Strength has the experience and the standing to prevent conflict before it occurs, to tame the foe, to charm the opposition to make it behave, make it harmless. This is about social or spiritual maturity, spiritual standing: The ‘eternity’ symbol over her head, the white robe with the flowers are symbols of that. This is the person muggers disregard. (The symbol is from math, and it means a repeating number like one-third is .3333 on forever in decimal form.
Seven of Cups The gremlins are out, an outbreak. The poop hits the fan. Debris is all over the place. A lot of unrelated stuff jumbled together, a mess. Out of control and overwhelming. In Rider Waite Tarot, Seven of Cups is the Sorcerer’s Apprentice or Pandora’s Box story. So we have an infestation of undesirable influences, whether physical or nonphysical. Chaos and confusion.
