Tarot Verbatim
This is different! Sometimes a question is vague, and there’s no history to go on. Who is this, and what is it all about?, you the reader think. You dive in and connect the dots in a consistent way, avoiding assumption as much as possible. Logic and intuition blend, and you cross your fingers.
.
This is just such a question, and Client and I have a discussion about it. Client chooses not to be specific, which is a client prerogative.

(Reminding regular visitors that this week I am catching up by posting Email Readings instead of the three-card analytical spreads. Thursday we go back to the three-card spreads.

The category of life is:: Business
My question is:: What will I see him doing in the next 3 months about the project?

Fool – Ten of Cups – Eight of Swords
He assumes people are ‘on the same page’ (together in agreement) who can’t be.
He assumes – Fool
everyone agrees and is together on the project – Ten of Cups
and it just can’t be that way. – Eight of Swords
.

Page of Wands – Lovers – Six of Pentacles
On his word, the partners pay for something.
He gives the word – Page of Wands
for the partners (two people anyway) – Lovers
to pay a third party. – Six of Pentacles
.
.
Page of Cups – Five of Wands – Nine of Wands
Has no idea how much work this is, and is defensive (put on the spot).

Emperor – World – King of Pentacles
Two VIP men leave the woman out of this.
Important men – 
Emperor and 
King of Pentacles

and leave the woman out of it (out of the loop).
.
.
Judgment – Strength – Queen of Swords
A big announcement* from the angry woman who handles/fixes the problem.
A big announcement (?a legal decree?) – Judgment
because the woman has suffered a loss and is angry – Queen of Swords

So upset about what the law requires/the judge orders.
So upset about – Nine of Swords
what is legally – Justice

what the judge – Justice
orders. – Ace of Wands
Emily to Client:
This is a complex matter, with parties and the nature of the business both unidentified, so I don’t know how well this relates to the situation. Let me know if this makes no sense to you. I did an extra spread which indicates the decision is made unequivocally (no choice) by King of Cups who is a meek man, a weak man, or a regulation.
.
.
Client to Emily
Hi Emily,
I am getting back to you after a while, because I could not make sense of the reading when I received it.
Now, part of it has taken form. The young man gave his word that he would give it his best shot. So (since in my opinion he has potential) I agreed to partner up with him and partially financed his entry fee.
He is keeping his word and putting in some effort, but I get the feeling that he may think this is more work than he bargained for.
Do not have a clue about the rest of the reading. Could it also be read differently?
Next time maybe we should get on the phone. Tell me how we can do that.
Have a nice day.
.
.
Emily to Client
Pieces of it can be read to contradict other parts. The way I read it, it is as consistent as I can make it, which is likely to be the most accurate.
.
Since I live in the wilderness, and three phone companies are involved in my phone service in a way I will never understand, telephone connections tend to be not ideal even for domestic calls, let alone international ones. The 208 993-1657 is the line I do readings on.
.
It is wiser to identify what the project is. Even, maybe, to ask ‘will the man do what is expected of him,’ or ‘what I expect of him,’ or will he do XYZ (some specific action). Questions with that form identify the situation in such a way the meanings of the cards can be applied with more certainty and precision. Not doing that, it’s still a valid question, but a general question that must needs get a general answer. The reader (me in this case) therefore ‘goes out on a limb,’ as I did when I made Six of Pentacles ‘paying a third party.’ Six of Pentacles means, in business deals, to pay a person fairly for his labor.
.
It looked like a business deal to me. You asked what you would see him do. Be aware that is (deliberately) a little different question from what he actually does – it leaves out whatever part you don’t see him do.
.
This story says, yes, he is in over his head and (Nine of Wands) hanging in there because he gave his word (Page of Wands). It goes on to say that men take over (King of Pentacles and Emperor, two controlling men) and leave a woman (maybe you) out of it (presumably out of the project, or maybe out of a part of it), that she is angry (Queen of Swords is not getting what’s rightfully hers, and is angry). I suspect what the Queen of Swords is left out of and angry about is paying a third party (free lancer who does know how to do what Mr. C. is having trouble with?).
.
The ‘big announcement,’ Judgment, would be the woman’s demand (Queen of Swords is a woman making a demand) and she is straightening the situation out (Strength, the woman who prevents harm by being proactive). Judgment is a legal card, so the woman may call down regulators (King of Cups is a bureaucrat or a regulator or an agency, and Queen of Swords is ‘the complainant’ or the plaintiff in litigation). King of Cups, really, could be another man in the story, too.
.
The way I connect these dots is: The lady expects the Subject to do something re this project. The man tries, sweats it out, but hangs in there. Then he involves other people (the two controlling men, the kings), and they do it their way – ‘make the decision and leave the woman out of it,’ King of Pentacles and World).
.
Judgment is also a surprise discovery, so when the woman finds out about this she has a lot to say (Queen of Swords), and takes action herself to get the situation going her way (Strength) – and Strength is a ‘stronger than the problem’ kind of Tarot card.
.
The last spread shows how upset, possibly horrified (Nine of Swords) Mr. Subject is when the woman, presumably you, gets annoyed and takes action to prevent something she sees as a problem. (Guess: she prevents the payment.)
.
If my way of connecting these dots is correct, you will discover something, probably an expense, that calls for corrective action on your part.
.
We can hash this out verbally if you wish to call. This writing may clarify the answer though. (And this took a lot of time).
.
Give it some time. Poke around.

Guidance Happy New Year from Tarot. We are talking about New Year’s Resolutions, and we even have two cards that mean that! Here’s our intention to set things straight, to do right, to make amends. Just as in real life, though, no action is mentioned, it’s all sentiment and emotion. “He gets the straight picture of things the way they used to be, and has to go back there.”
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’ (above) is a summary of what the cards are telling visitors to be aware of this day.
‘Group Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages from the pictures of the four cards you see – to everyone. These readings are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

Tarot Readings: New Year’s Resolution (Ace of Wands and Judgment)
We think of making things right at New Year’s.
It is dawning on me: I have to go back to being straight again.
An emotional inspiration hits that I should start over.
I feel so strongly as I make a resolution about what should be in the New Year.
The idea strikes that I’ve got to redo – that I should do something over.
Tarot Readings: Go Back and Make it Right (Judgment and Justice)
Thinking again of making that one thing the way it ought to be.
An urge that I have to go back and make it right.
Realize this next time it’s got to be right.
Tarot Readings: Realize What’s Correct (Hanged Man and Justice)
Realize what I say has to be correct.
When you get the same notion the second time, it’s got to be right.
Now that I think about it, those are absolutely the right words.
I have to correct that now that I remember what (I) said.
A whole new realization that’s got to be correct.
Has to dawn on (him) when (he) returns to sanity.
Tarot Readings: Things I Know I’ve Got to Do (Ace of Wands and Hanged Man)
An announcement in a vision that justice must be done.
Thinking again that I have to go back where I belong.
Realizes initiating a lawsuit is top priority.
That’s right, I have to change their minds.
Tarot Readings: Make Them Do Right (Ace of Wands and Justice)
We know people who feel entitled to make us realize they are right.
Thinking up a new way to make them do right.
When police say that, you just know there’s brutality.
I got the idea I am making you do right next time.
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.
Hanged Man
Two of Wands – World – Queen of Swords
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Hanged Man and Judgment both are about sudden realization.
Judgment and Justice obviously are both law cards, about legal processes. Judgment is more often the court system, especially the serving of papers or the announcing of a decree or verdict. Justice is more often lawyers, judges, police and other members of the industry.
Ace of Wands and Justice Ace of Wands means enforcement or force, and Justice is law and police, so they make law enforcement and police force. They also make police brutality, since (obviously) Ace of Wands is to hit or strike with a weapon. Other meanings for Ace of Wands is to make (or force) someone do something, or make something happen; top priority or ‘most important,’ and even ‘most.’ So Ace of Wands and Justice say that lawsuit is top priority. With Justice also meaning ‘right,’ these two cards in Tarot Verbatim™ say ‘Make (you) do it right’ and ‘Has to be done right,’ and other things like that.
Ace of Wands and Judgment We talked about Judgment meaning a decree. Ace of Wands means force. ‘Mandamus’ is a legal word that means ‘you have to, it’s a command.’ So Ace of Wands and Judgment say ‘Writ of Mandamus.’ It’s a higher court telling a lower court ‘Do this.’
Ace of Wands and Judgment And here’s our New Year’s resolution. Judgment is obviously a New Year’s kinda guy, what with the horn and meaning ‘to return to’ and ‘again.’ Ace of Wands is a resolution: I gotta do that.
HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL SIX COMBINATIONS

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES
Ace of Wands A hand with a big stick obviously means enforcement, force, have to, must, gotta and so on. It means ‘resolution’ too here.
Hanged Man (If he keeps showing up like this, we will charge him rent.) His phrases are: realization (90% of the time), thinking, strong feeling, get the picture, the idea, the thought strikes, notion, now that I remember, in a vision, thinking up, you know, your mind, intensely emotional … for today. The illustration sticks in your mind and enacts for you how you feel when all of a sudden you realize you knew that all along yet it’s reinterpreting your reality without letup as you stand helplessly by.
Judgment A new phase, a sudden change, a big noise, a public statement, to return to a former place or state or whatever. Those meanings dovetail nicely with the concept of New Year’s, especially with the angel’s trumpet blaring out to raise the dead.
Justice The law says you should, you ought to, you are entitled to, and those are common phrases for this card. Police as well as courts, with the scales of justice and the sword of enforcement. Right, correct, straight, straighten out, sane and sober: All of these belong to Justice.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread, Tarot Verbatim
Ultimatum to make our love legally binding
Justice
Six of Pentacles, Lovers, Ace of Wands
The lover that treats you right is the right one to have sex with.
Have to give me the legal paper to be my sex partner.
To be his/her partner, there has to be a court proceeding.
Ultimatum to make our love legally binding.
Has to pay his/her love partner in a court proceeding.
The right thing to do is order your love partner to do right by you.
Lover feels entitled to get sex from you.
Legal protection has to be given.
Lawyer has to pay the other party.
Enforce his/her rights in a court of law.
Lawyer’s partner has to do the legal proceeding.
Not much you can do with this. Two cards refer to court proceedings, ‘legal’ or ‘lawyer,’ things like that. Also means ‘entitled.’ Then the Lovers card means partner, lover, love partner, and not much else in this context. And the remaining card means ‘enforce’ or ‘have to’ as well as ‘sex.’
Advice here is to not have sex until a legal proceeding (a divorce, naturally, is what that likely is) is underway, to give that ultimatum.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Six of Pentacles: Legal proceedings. To give, or to be given. With the justice card, the serving of legal papers is suggested. It means to give the appropriate attention as well. Illustration shows a man with a scale paying his workers to the penny what they have earned.
Lovers: Love partner, partner, lover are the most frequent phrases for this. Connection and protection are two others. Illustration shows an angel overlooking a naked human couple, a volcano between them, and the snake in the tree behind the dame.
Ace of Wands: Have to, ultimatum, sex, enforce. The hand with the board in it, a board that looks like a penis sort of, and is sprouting.
Justice: There’s the legal scales again, and the meaning of this card could not be more obvious.
