Five of Wands Eight of Pentacles, Six of Cups, Lovers
Practical Perspective: Together with friends/lover for the usual (or traditional) heavy activity. Together with a friend doing the things you usually do. Exercise routine together with a friend. Hard work as a favor to a partner. Making a consistent effort to be sweet to a loved one. Working together, giving it your all, with a close friend/lover. Trusted partners keep fighting, trying, or struggling together. Me and my close buddy are against this or are fighting this. Me and my close friend keep fighting. A friend contacts you, and you are back to doing what you did in the past. He makes an effort to give her love gifts often. Couple works hard for children. Romance Perspective: Past lover keeps trying to contact. Romantic time with lover – the usual exercise or activities. Lovebirds have the usual lover’s quarrel. Together with friends/lover for the usual (or traditional) heavy activity. Hard work as a favor to a partner. Working together, giving it your all, with a close friend/lover. Going all out to make the house a sweet place to be in with someone you love. Making an effort to keep this an old-fashioned love affair. Couple tries often and hard to have a child. Lovers try hard to make a baby. Interesting that it’s again the weekend and again the card that means ‘work’ shows up. It must work on weekends! What I came to consider as I was writing these was: Super Bowl Sunday – so I put that sentence first, “Together with friends for the usual or traditional heavy activity.” Since each of Rider Waite Tarot cards are among the ones that have several different meanings, we develop a lot of different messages today in this spread. Two of the cards mean being together with someone you are close to (Six of Cups and Lovers), so we have a lot of that. The other two often mean hard work. So, today’s first spread is about getting together and doing something, including something romantic. With the suggestions of lovers and children (Lovers, Six of Cups), the romance may be productive from Mother Nature’s viewpoint! As I was typing this, I thought of helping someone move to a new house: ‘Hard work as a favor to a partner.’ Is anyone moving a friend, or a friend helping you move, on Super Bowl Sunday?
Six of Wands Five of Pentacles, Ace of Cups, Chariot
Practical Perspective: Feeling bad because you let the guy get the best of you. He gets (them/you) to cooperate with him against (their/your) best interest. Feeling bad because he took advantage of your trust. Yeah, this con artist is out to get your last dime, but you are going to make him be good, be harmless. He gets (them) to cooperate, against (their) will or (their) best interest: It’s (THEIR) loss! He is a successful mooch. People who love him are the poorer for it. Times are hard so he ‘makes it’ by taking advantage of the people who love him. He gets ahead by any means possible and justifies it by feeling like a victim. Losing it all to a con artist makes one ambitious to succeed by helping others. Romance Perspective: Being in love with this self-serving fellow who aims to take advantage, you will be sorry. He is in the ghetto, getting ahead any way he can, and he is in love with you. Loves a bad boy and aims to make him sorry. This spread warns you that there’s someone looking to take advantage big time: It contains ‘the mooch,’ the Six of Wands, and ‘poverty,’ the Five of Pentacles. Not good. But the Chariot, handling the situation to your best advantage, is also there. The Ace of Cups‘ several meanings switches the possibilities around, too. So don’t panic about this, if it fits what is happening to you: There’s plenty of room to duck!

If you can’t turn it down, you may as well have sex. Can’t resist the temptation, goes ahead and has sex. No sex! No way! Forget it! If you can’t get it out of your mind, do it. You can’t resist the temptation, so you have to just not be present. You can’t refuse and not be there: You HAVE to! You have to just forget it so you don’t keep turning it down. You must refuse, don’t forget. When you don’t have a question to hang your answer on, sometimes you get so many possible variations of an answer that it is amusing. Two Tarot cards in a row that mean to refuse, then one that that can mean, ‘forget it,’ ‘may as well,’ and ‘to not be present.’ Then the last Rider Waite Tarot card means both ‘sex’ and ‘have to’ or ‘must.’ So you can weave these concepts around and around – which is exactly what it is tuning into: contradictory ideas about going ahead and having sex. We’ve ALL been THERE!
