Tarot Readings for You for July 16, 2013 Tuesday(c)

Tarot Verbatim

Guidance     We are ‘Johnny-one-note’ here, about getting away from, leaving, avoiding, putting it behind … all sorts and flavors of pulling out and getting on down the road, even changing one’s mind about it. Getting out fast, getting out slow. Any kind of escape will do – evacuate like refugees. Contrasts talking and not talking about it, too. It’s mainly about quitting, finally, and not doing it again. Running away from people who keep saying the same thing, and also giving up telling someone over and over – we cover those too. We even go into not changing, not leaving. Every possible aspect of this subject is exhausted here. (Think of the song ‘Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover.’)

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 to everyone. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself. THEN, the family of commenters here would love for you to join in.

Six of Swords

Death – Knight of Swords – Eight of Wands

Theme is leaving, says Knight of Swords and Six of Swords.

Knight of Swords is getting out in a hurry, precipitously. He is also going back and forth, and can also be pursuing. So he is not an ‘anchor’ card: You look to others for establishing the theme, and let him add to the theme.

Six of Swords is finally slipping away like a refugee, and includes the idea times will be better. It’s giving up, getting over it, withdrawing in defeat to fight again another day. It suggests a slow process, whereas Knight of Swords is always fast. Six of Swords can announce a recovery, getting over an ailment or financial loss, for instance.

In the layout today, the two theme cards (Knight of Swords and Six of Swords) are stacked one above the other. To their left is The Great Negator, Death, who means no, never, not, don’t, stop and so on. He can mean the word ‘death’ too, but needs some encouragement for that. This card, as we know by now from past acquaintance, creates contradictions.

To the right is Eight of Wands who means: many, talk, quickly, fast, more and more, repetition or repeated, many times. It often means ‘things’ and it makes plurals in your sentence. So sometimes you are just adding an ‘s’ to translate Eight of Wands.

Knight of Swords and Eight of Wands both mean ‘fast.’ Death means ‘stop’ and Six of Swords means ‘slow.’ That is how we got the ‘fast or slow exit.’

Notice the parallel we make today of giving up a bad habit, and leaving a bad place or bad scene.

Death     is The Great Negator, the no-never-not entity. It seldom means, in Tarot Verbatim ™ the end of one thing and the beginning of another, which it should with the dead king lying there, and the bishop taking the crown to make another king. It is a support card for death; it does not establish that theme by itself – hardly ever.

Knight of Swords     goes in one direction and then another, switches back and forth. He pursues. He flees. He speeds. He is not a lead card, he can’t make up his mind. The illustration in Rider Waite shows a fellow with sword thrust over the speeding horse’s head, horse with both front feet stretched out, flying. (Not the way horses run.)

Eight of Wands     shows boards flying in the air meaning repetitive or repeated, many, many times, quickly, fast, more and more or increasingly. It often means ‘things’ and it makes plurals in your sentence. So sometimes you are just adding an ‘s’ to translate Eight of Wands. These meanings you can see in the sequence of boards flying in the air, adding up, one above the other. The other main meaning is talk, messages, writing, document(s), tell or telling. The only way I see this in the illustration is that the boards’ pattern looks like lines on a page.

Six of Swords     means better times are ahead because they couldn’t get any worse. A woman and child are escaping like refugees with the help of a friend who has a shallow boat that he is poling forward like a gondola. It means to put the past behind, to leave slowly.It’s giving up, getting over it, withdrawing in defeat to fight again another day. It suggests a slow process, whereas Knight of Swords is always fast. Six of Swords can announce a recovery, getting over an ailment or financial loss, for instance.

EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]

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(TM).

In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.

When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’

Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.

Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more 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 want you to know this!)

Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.

Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.

In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.
