Our Daily Spread May 28, 2011
Question for this weekend is: “Encouraging Words.”
=========================================================================
Is this the first time you come here? Well …
HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL WE HAVE FOR YOU HERE. Read the sentences, the TAROT ANALYSIS, and pick out the ones that seem to apply to you, to the people around you. They are a Tarot analysis of your day’s circumstances. As the day (or several days) unfolds, you may find the information is relevant. Some of this information refers to a longer time period. The question is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.” Often, your adopting the attitude you feel in the blog works for your day! Some days are ‘keep an eye open’ and some are ‘green lights.’
Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean even contradictory things. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are less specific, more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. Especially when a pronoun is in parentheses, feel free to substitute.
The Advice section sums up a general meaning of all the sentences. It is the favorite of most of us.
Remember to share your experience with a comment here if you have words for it … I spend two or more hours a day writing to you, after all! Say hello back!
Photos of the animals that the people who call me support are in with the articles I wrote for you. Enjoy them too! Stefanie is the one who has posted the few we have here. She did not do much with a hundred or more I sent her. Later!
And you can call me at the 800 99 3 6 9 12 number from Eastern 1 p. m. to Eastern 1 a. m. at least, every day. I analyze business situations accurately too. (Testimonials are on the web site.)
=========================================================================
TODAY I am putting ‘Advice’ and ‘Tarot Analysis’ first because the other departments are long.
Death
Sun, Six of Swords, Lovers
Advice is: Getting out of one life and into another is like getting out of one love relationship and starting another; that the phase of putting one direction behind – which is akin to death – is part of getting ahead in another. Changing your mind about loving someone is the same process as the journey in consciousness toward oneness with God. The new life is worth the inconvenience and there’s joy in the goodbye.
TAROT ANALYSIS
Romantic Perspective, Happy
The couple is so happy together, they aren’t going anywhere.
The couple puts an end to their bad times and begins a new life.
They are together for the fun of it, and it’s not over.
He is thrilled to be with you but it’s not over with some lover.
The casual phase of our love relationship is over, and we are on to the next phase.
Romantic Perspective, It’s Over
Out with the old lover – put that behind – and on with the new fun life.
Unprotected flings are a thing of the past.
You get over a young guy or playboy who wasn’t really your partner.
Not in love, just a fling, and on to the next.
He doesn’t love her and left her because of the baby.
He is leaving home, there’s no love anymore, is putting the misery behind.
Business Perspective:
Leave without a partner and launch a new (anything).
Disconnect, leave this place and its restrictions behind.
An end of one thing, free of it, and on to another era with a partner.
Gradually phasing out is the way to get free and end your connection.
Spiritual Perspective
Detachment is leaving for uncharted new territory.
No partner for a journey in consciousness, it’s a reckless departure.
Enjoys life with God since escaping death (near-death experience).
A journey in consciousness is like a child ending one phase of life and beginning another in association with the divine/God.
Other Perspectives
Gradually disassociating from childhood.
Not a kid anymore and not attached.
There’s no attachment, you are free to leave and go on with your life.
A couple puts the death of a baby behind them.
When (they) leave (they) are not protected any more.
Meanings and Illustrations: Observation of the Spread
Right off, you see two cards that mean it’s over – Death and Six of Swords.
And you see two cards that mean leaving – Sun and Six of Swords.
The remaining card means attachment, and a (love) bond and, of course, lover.
So leaving your lover and it’s over pops right out. It’s actually said more than once in only four Rider Waite Tarot cards. But we go on from there. There are other interpretations too, since we operate here without a question and all doors are open to every possible message!
Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards
Sun has a pony in every race, many different meanings.
*There’s the happy, fun, fling, enjoyment of life, playboy and play category.
*There’s the child, kid, brat, childish fellow category.
*There’s the leaving category. It can be leaving for a fun time. It can be breaking free of a restricting place or relationship. Which can include moving out of the parents’ house. It’s ‘leaving’ is a happy occasion. There’s the ‘leave’ of vacation or sabbatical, for instance. And leaving the house, in the driveway. (This comes up when people ask where someone is.)
*There’s the ‘reckless,’ category which brings in being uninhibited, spontaneous, just popping up, bursting out or bursting forth, and so on.
*There’s the literal sun and sunshine meanings, which occur sometimes in medical advice. For example the Rider Waite Tarot cards that mean ‘not enough’ or ‘too much’ modifying the Sun card mean exactly that.
Six of Pentacles is leaving home, too. It, too, is leaving some restriction – some misery, more precisely – behind. This is the refugee. Things are going to be better because they were so miserable. Leaving as a refugee to start a new life, probably with nothing. It can speak of gradual recovery from illness. It can also mean depression, grief. A friend helps in the illustration: The man with the boat is the friend.
Lovers, you would think, would be about romance; but romance is a mere sliver of its categories. The illustration is complex which gives rise to its spectrum.
*The midday sun indicates it’s a ‘good card.’
*The angel with outstretched wings and arms is obviously the guardian angel of the couple or partnership below.
*The volcano is about passion but also suggests potential ‘blowup.’
*Garden of Eden theme, with the snake in Eve’s fruit tree, and supposedly Adam’s is the ‘tree of life.
Many phrases for this card – among them, used in our today spread, are ‘a couple,’ ‘They are together,’ – lover, love relationship, etc. – partner, connection, associate, attachment, with God, protection.
Death is, in the Rider Waite Verbatim Tarot school of thought, a negative modifier – any negating word at all. It means the end, and it means the end of one thing and the beginning of another. It means that more often to other systems and other readers than it does in this one … but here it is today, encouraged to come out by the fact that both Sun and Six of Swords are in that groove, themselves.
Its phrases today are, besides the negative modifier function: an end, is over, out with, un-, without, dis-, and death. This card rarely means death. To mean death, it has to be part of a phrase initiated by another card.
