Guidance They say ‘Pick your battles.’ The subject today is to choose one thing (at a time) to focus on in order to get your purpose accomplished because you can focus your energy that way. We are getting somewhere, like a vehicle on the road, and we are keeping an eye on the road like driving through the night alone. Oh yes, we are arriving!
Extra Sentences are at the end, after the Copyright language.

Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Guidance (above ) which is a summary of the Messages. (Guidance is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively pick those out and decide whether to encourage or suppress them. They are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. (It is a group message like a horoscope, except Tarot isn’t based on someone else’s birth data, so it can be specific, accurate, detailed and direct. Our experiment here is “How much more accurate is it?”)
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.
Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that negates other cards. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. When a pronoun is in parentheses, feel very free to substitute. The question in a ‘real’ individual reading supplies at least half the information!

Hermit
Chariot – Five of Wands – Knight of Pentacles
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
Knight of Pentacles and Chariot both mean determined and both are on the road. Knight of Pentacles focuses on one thing, and Chariot is master of it.
Knight of Pentacles and Hermit both mean to see (look at, look for) and to know.
Chariot and Five of Wands both involve effort.
I eliminated 27 sentences – 14 about vehicles, 5 about trying hard to be honest, and 8 miscellaneous. Have a feeling the car ones could be cautionary for one or more visitors. (They are stashed in Tarot Talks, where they do not belong, just in case you want to go there.)
Five of Wands is a great effort, struggle or fight; Knight of Pentacles is a tough type guy focused on one thing; Chariot is a strategist who aims to win and be master. These meanings interlace to produce very similar phrases twice: Making this smooth is tricky.
Hermit is watching or looking out for; being honest, kind and helpful; coming to or approaching someone; being a helpful friend; being on the road alone; being on a path or journey. He makes prolific phrases with each of the other cards.

Chariot An ambitious strategist who achieves his project. He is skilled, he makes it happen. He gets the job done. Charioteers were the Navy Seals of their day. He has hitched the sphinxes so they have to go forward when each will only go one direction (right for one, left for the other – that is why their colors are opposite). His willpower makes them into steeds that get him where he is going. |

Five of Wands Lots of energy and effort being put into a fight, battle, struggle or competition. Five guys are whacking one another with boards. ‘Activity’ and ‘intensely involved’ are two of its phrases. Hostilities, exertion, exhaustive are some others. |

Knight of Pentacles He is determined to get one thing done: He focuses on his top priority. He can be a rough guy, self-interested and driven. He is Don Johnson, if you remember Miami Vice. We all know someone of his stereotype. He is pictured here as a stocky sturdy dude staring at his pentacle, seated as if he were part of his stock sturdy horse. |

Hermit Here is the monk patiently out on the road with a lantern looking for travelers who could use some help. He is your friend, watching or looking out for you; being honest, kind and helpful; coming to or approaching you; being on the road alone; being on a path or journey. He makes prolific phrases with each of the other cards. |
