Guidance A program presents itself, and makes you choose: fight, flight, or cooperate? Your own ambitions and intentions are a program to the people who are exposed to them, and those people have the same choices: fight, flight, or cooperate. That is something you have to accept for the sake of your program. Use the factors that are for it, and the factors that are against it, to further it. Having a strategy is the way to get smoothly past the guards on the court. Sometimes, you can get a hell-raiser to love you, and sometimes love overwhelms a Type A person. Yes, against the odds. When you really love what you are doing, you are likely to push forward past the resistance.

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. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONSis a stream-of-consciousness bridge to your subconscious if you use it regularly – people report.
*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.

………..………………………..Ace of Cups and Seven of Wands This pair of Rider Waite Tarot cards in Tarot Verbatim™ is the heart of our message today. Ace of Cups is to accept, to be at peace, to love, to cooperate, and so on. Seven of Wands is to fight or resist, to be against, to hate, to refuse to go along with, and so on. Its meanings embrace every possible nuance of ‘resistance.’ It has more meanings than most of our Tarot cards, too. Together, they often describe a person, usually of the male persuasion, fighting like hell not to fall in love. They also say ‘refuse to cooperate.’
………..………………………… Chariot and Seven of Wands Here we have, in Chariot, the driving force, as well as the strategy, as well as the Captain of Industry, the leader of the combat battalion. In Seven of Wands, we again have the drive, the push … but also have the defense against a push, the one who is not letting it happen, not letting them through, and not letting them encroach on my property. These two can describe a major head-butting session, or they can get together and describe the drive to get the project done despite whatever opposition presents itself.
…….…..………………………. Chariot and Ace of Cups Now we are ‘cooking with gas,’ because these two Tarot Verbatim™ citizens are about ‘getting with the program’ wherever they appear. It is an intention in true love, too. These two describe a man who has decided to love, to be in love. These two describe us loving our leader.
The overall message here is about resisting and cooperating, is about love and hate as motivating factors.
HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONS

Chariot .………….. Charioteers were the special forces of their day. The strategies of charioteers were a major factor in winning or losing a battle or war. They were the masters, so this card means masterful. Think of Chariot as the Project Manager. Think of Chariot as you accomplishing what is most important to you, using whatever factors exist in the project to further it, whether they are favorable or not. Chariot is that kind of determination.
Ace of Cups …………. Serendipity – love, cooperation, benefits, health, being in good shape, being good, channeling divine influence or Holy Spirit, having an easy time of it, going with the flow, being attuned to mass consciousness. All this is expressed in a stylized illustration of Roman Catholic symbols. The ocean represents mass consciousness, of course. The dove is always Holy Spirit, of course. The five streams represent five senses or five ‘bodily humors’ of Middle Ages reality, and the ‘W’ goes along with that. (I’ll look it up someday.) I think this glyph is taken from Interior Castles, a book by the major saint of the Roman Catholic church, St. Teresa d’Avila, about the fountain that is always full however much is taken from it.
Seven of Wands …………. Here we have every possible application of the idea of pushing for something, and pushing against something. Seven of Wands can be the ‘mad as hell and I won’t take it anymore’ side of us, or the ‘Gimme the car keys, and no, I ain’t filling the tank’ side of us. It is defending your position … or your home … against opponents or attackers, and it is making somebody do something. It is protest. It is advocacy, too. See? Seven of Wands is where that line drawn in the sand is attacked and defended.

Love is blind and it gets you behind the 8-ball, gets you rattled
Ace of Cups
Seven of Cups, Fool, Seven of Wands
Things got out of control and you didn’t notice. Now True Love is upon you!
Things got out of control while he wasn’t looking, and now he is faced with being in love!
Ignores the mess until faced with it having to be clean.
Assumes there’s some mixup and defends himself that no harm was done.
No idea things get out of control when you insist on the easy way.
Cooperates under pressure as if things weren’t totally out of control.
Due to circumstances beyond my knowledge and control, I am forced to be agreeable.
Forced to cooperate before you realize you aren’t in control anymore.
Love is blind and it gets you behind the 8-ball, gets you rattled.
Oh, you just let things get out of control and now you have to make nice.
First card is Seven of Cups, ‘losing it,’ the Pandora’s Box and/or the Sorcerer’s Apprentice stories: Things are all over the place, are a mess, and you do not have a grip on them. Then we have Fool, who didn’t notice, who wasn’t looking, who ignored and assumed and had no idea. Then as the Seven of Wands we are confronted, something is ‘upon us’ and we are faced with being under pressure for insisting like that. Lastly is the Ace of Cups, the lovely influence that heals and removes whatever harm the preceding cards have cooked up.
Seven of Cups and Seven of Wands are being confronted. Fool and Ace of Cups are ‘going with the flow.’
Advice is that when you let things slide, you are going to have to jump to attention to make them okay. Like, oops, I turned on the wrong burner and the plastic handle may never be the same; I have to run and fix this.
Seven of Cups: Things fall apart, you are ‘losing it,’ the Pandora’s Box and/or the Sorcerer’s Apprentice stories: Things are all over the place, are a mess, and you do not have a grip on them. In Rider Waite Tarot, this idea is illustrated by a black figure who is confronted by unrelated objects in a cloud.
Fool: Person who doesn’t or didn’t notice, who wasn’t looking, who ignored and assumed and had no idea. He is blind to environment, he feels so good, Here it is because he is in love. Rider Waite Tarot shows him happily steeping into the void with his pet friend, in one more step.
Seven of Wands: As the Seven of Wands we are confronted, something is ‘upon us’ and we are faced with being under pressure for insisting like that. Now you have to … He is pictured as defending himself, on such short notice his shoes don’t match, against his encroaching neighbors who have come against him with force and surprise.
Ace of Cups: Here is the lovely influence that heals and removes whatever harm the preceding cards have cooked up. Symbols of the presence of God (The dove of the Holy Spirit and the wafer of communion) infuse the five flows of the human senses, or the five bodily fluids (as the Middle Ages reckoned that).
It is not inappropriate to take ‘time out’ from romance
Two of Swords
Four of Swords, Page of Cups, Six of Cups
Foolish to not respond; there wouldn’t be a romance.
He feels silly when he is unresponsive, when he is not giving her some gift or romantic attention.
It is not inappropriate to take ‘time out’ from romance.
Shall I have a love experience, or shall I do nothing and not have one?
Are the children going to keep us from sleeping?
Will this romance keep me from my rest?
Should I wait to have children, or not?
It seems I have nothing to do if I am not in love.
Those old fashioned ways: Are they still around, or not?
Shall I remain a kid or not?
They seem to be good children, they don’t do things they shouldn’t do.
Is there no rest when you have kids?
Kids just don’t sleep, do they?
There is no question, you are still in love.
What if you still can’t have kids?
Two of these Rider Waite Tarot cards mean inaction: the Four of Swords which means to not participate, refrain from action, lay around doing nothing, and even meditation; and the Two of Swords, which means no way, you can’t, stop that, etc. In between these are the Page of Cups, who is about silly, foolish, inappropriate, a question (or instruction to the reader to put this material into question form). He also means things like ‘it seems.’ The card that establishes a theme among these four is the Six of Cups, which has two main divisions: One is romance – as in sweet old fashioned love where little guy gives little girl posies; and the other is children. Six of Cups is a soft, sweet, mellow influence.
Advice seems to be nothing is happening if you are not in love, but if you make children you will not get any sleep. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Four of Swords: It’s when you are dormant, when you ‘time out,’ when you give it a rest or go beddie-bye. Illustration shows the apprentice knight doing his vision quest in a cathedral lying on the coffin of some culture hero entombed there.
Page of Cups: This ridiculous figure dressed outlandishly with a fish in a cup and a goofy expression means silly, foolish, inappropriate, a question (or instruction to the reader to put this material into question form).
Six of Cups: This lovely Rider Waite Tarot card has two main divisions: One is romance – as in sweet old fashioned love where little guy gives little girl posies; and the other is children. Six of Cups is a soft, sweet, mellow influence.
Two of Swords: NO WAY, it says. Can’t do that. The buck … and everything else … stops here. Most any meaning will involve ‘no’ or some other negating word. The picture shows a balance in stasis: The lady’s arms are crossed and she holds two heavy swords, so she is frozen in that position.
