Guidance “I never met an honest man who claimed to be one; it’s the crooks who have the look” says it all today. We point out that claims to fairness and righteousness are the hallmark of something or someone who is out to take advantage of you, or to mooch. But another part of the message tells you you are on the right course now that you have your own interests firmly in mind, that hard times are over due to getting out of debt, and that ‘Now that I have gotten away from just assuming I’m right, I’m headed for being right.’
Instructions:
Are YOU here for the first time? Come in! People love this place! Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.
If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need. ‘Guidance’ is a summary of what the cards are generally advising visitors to be aware of that day. ‘Tarot Readings’ is the actual word for word messages the cards are conveying. Tarot can come up with a wide variety of sentences (sometimes even completely contradictory sentences!) in a group reading as there is no specific question being asked. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.
Want even more insight and information about a specific situation in your life? Call me, Emily, at 1-800-993-6912 and talk to me personally and have yourself a live, in detail, Tarot Reading like no other you may ever have had before. Your call will support 500 acres of wildlife in an animal sanctuary where I live and call home.
Also, don’t be shy about talking to the Community of Users in the comment section below. You’ll find this as the very last thing on this site. Trust me when I say we would *love* to hear from you!

Tarot Readings: Games People Play, Pretenses, Labels and Serving Them (Six of Wands)
Am getting away from fooling people and getting onto the path of being for real.
Avoid the games, just pay the stated price.
Pretending to be a decent person is heading away from the best course.
Being on the right path means heading away from falling for what has that label.
You are supposed to serve interests other than your own, or they won’t make money off of you.
You will not encounter an honest person who claims to be one: It’s the crooks who have the look.
Success is yours when you avoid being programmed by a mindset or a dogma.
When you make a commitment to someone who takes advantage of you, it’s best to leave.
Anything that wants to take advantage presents itself as righteous; that’s a good time to leave.
I got out of a religious organization that mooched my money.

Tarot Readings: On the Road (Six of Swords + Ace of Pentacles)
Leave here, get on the road; this only seems like a good place.
Avoid the usual road that has been safe: There’s a trap on it today.
Get off the road when you are only pretending to be sober.
You get on a road that is mis-marked.

Here we are contrasting what is real, genuine, rewarding for you, and the right path (Ace of Pentacles) with what is deceptive and serving interests other than your own (Six of Wands) and labeled as approved (Hierophant). The remaining card means to leave one place or person or position for another. It usually means to leave a bad scene behind and head into a hopeful one. So our story is very defined for today.
Hierophant and Six of Wands says ‘Appearances (Hierophant) are deceiving (Six of Wands).’ Six of Swords and Ace of Pentacles says ‘Leaving a bad scene (Six of Swords) for a good rewarding one (Ace of Pentacles).’
“I never met an honest man who claimed to be one; it’s the crooks who have the look” says it all today.

Hierophant is the official story, the respectable front we present to the world and that the world presents to us. (Ever wonder why?) It represents the dogma the public is served, the public ritual of the Catholic Church, as opposed to, say, what theologians know. That’s the pope there in the illustration, doing a ritual with some monks or priests. Hierophant is about the label, the ‘clean nose,’ the hypocrisy, the facade that keeps us liking one another and our institutions.
Six of Wands is us falling for that seal of approval, that label, that dogma, buying into the facade believing ‘something’s in it for me.’ We join a campaign, we work for a company, we take up with a person … that we think ‘is on our side,’ and it turns out we’ve been had. Often it’s self-deception here. Often it’s our greed that got us into it in the first place. Our self-interest versus their self-interest. This sums up a lot of human history.
Six of Swords Starting over is just ahead. This is the exodus. Now that we have lost everything, we finally leave. Times are going to be better because of this sorry situation we are getting out of. The bad days are over, the good days are to come. This is a hopeful card in Tarot Verbatim(TM).
Ace of Pentacles The right path, the right-hand path, the straight and narrow, the right way, the right road: That’s Ace of Pentacles. Success. Money in hand. (The price to pay, too.) It equates spiritual and financial success, and is also about victory (the trellis at the rear of the path). It means ‘Yes,’ especially as the Self card.
EXPLANATIONS: (Skip over this and the gray tags.)
Each and every ‘Tarot Reading’ sentence you see is a literal interpretation of the four Rider Waite Tarot cards drawn and pictured for today. (The literal interpretation is from the illustration on each card.) These sentences are put together by only combining the phrases of what each cards says. In other words, there are NO “filler” phrases added just to make full sentences, and no psychic ability or spirit guide is ever involved.
*Without a question* in a group reading to focus the answer, the four Tarot cards can mean quite contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that means ‘no,’ ‘never’ or ‘not.’ These negative modifiers can apply to any one of the other cards.
*Without a question* in a group reading, the pronouns (you, him, her, me, us, them, they, etc.) are more flexible. Whenever you see a pronoun in parentheses, please *feel very free* to substitute another pronoun than the one used. I try to drop pronouns when possible, which, if you’ve noticed, can make for awkward phrasing.
Now in an ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question and thereby supplies at least half the information! In an individual situation, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading we cannot do that and so we get a variety of sentences.
Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers know this!)
Tarot, on the other hand, is perfectly capable of flexibly addressing any group, including all of the visitors that come to this site. It can also address people you might not even know personally, such as all the people at your job who have a say in whether or not you get a raise.
We have been wondering here lately whether the Tarot Verbatim(TM) sentences are more accurate for regular visitors than they are for people who visit this site only once in awhile or for a short time. Would you help us with a comment please, if you have not been a regular visitor? Just let us know if the sentences are relevant to you. So far, people say they do apply.
Return to this site often and you can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim(TM) works. Regular visitors actually learn to read Rider Waite Tarot cards with very little effort.
