Death – Nine of Swords
Don’t worry.
Don’t – Death
worry. – Nine of Swords
Death is a ‘no’ or a ‘not’ most of the time, or a contraction like ‘Don’t‘ which contains the ‘not’ in the n’t.
Nine of Swords is worry, the kind of worry that disrupts our sleep with its distress.
Death – Nine of Swords
nothing to worry about
nothing – Death
to worry about – Nine of Swords
Death is a negative word or a negative modifier in Tarot Verbatim. Never mind what comes of the king’s death, that king is just nothing, just not a king, just not whatever he was.
Nine of Swords is something to worry about — something so bad we can’t sleep and wake up with a hurting head in the middle of the night.

Don’t cry.
Don’t – Death

You read these wise articles about how to get ahead at work – the crafty strategies and the virtuous strategies. In real life, though, it’s often little coincidental things that trigger a person’s career path onward and upward. One little conversation, maybe from months ago, does it. Well, that’s our Querant’s question today: the next step in her career, and how is it looking? Tarot tells her a tale that is like those coincidental trigger points. She knows what traits of hers propel her to glory now.

And She Whose Reading This Says: This is great news Emily! Many Thanks.
Guidance Our subject: not being afraid, or being afraid, of doing your work or your routine. Trying hard not to is pictured as having the same level of effort as a job would. Anxiety itself makes it such an effort to simply do what you always do, and stops you from fully exerting yourself. Keep trying and the anxiety will phase out. But then again, it’s sometimes the work itself that we areafraid of, that keeps us from putting forth so much effort.
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 that day.
‘Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages 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.

*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 message.
*Go to Learn Tarot by the 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.

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 contractions – 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.

These four Rider Waite Tarot people at our Tarot table here make all kinds of phrases. Eight of Pentacles and Five of Wands often means ‘hard work,’ since Eight of Pentacles, the carpenter, is working and Five of Wands obviously means exertion.
Let’s run through it, taking the cards in order of appearance this way: Death is any negative word. Nine of Swords is fear, anxiety, not sleeping, scary. Eight of Pentacles is work or doing one thing after another over and over again. Five of Wands is exertion, trying hard, competition, getting involved, struggle or battle. Look at their pictures, and make some sentences, yourself: This spread is easy.
Taking Death and pairing it with the other three, we have: Not afraid, with Death and Nine of Swords. We have ‘not working’ with Death and Eight of Pentacles. We have not trying, and the end of a struggle, with Death and Five of Wands.
Nine of Swords and Eight of Pentacles together say ‘afraid of work,’ worried about employment, or scared to keep doing that. Nine of Swords and Five of Wands together says ‘afraid to get involved,’ ‘scary violence,’and ‘afraid of competition.’
See, we have the things to be afraid of – cards paired with Nine of Swords which means to be afraid, to be anxious, or to worry – and we have the negative modifier which makes ‘not be afraid.’ That is the central message – among other messages – here today.

Death seldom means death in Tarot Verbatim™ but is The Great Negator, meaning no, never, not, don’t, isn’t and so on forever. Based on the illustration, the bishop collecting the dead king’s crown to crown the next throne-sitter, it should have something to do with succession and transition, with the end of one thing and the beginning of another. Once a year, for me, it may. It often does for other Tarot readers and for other decks. Generally, with most readers and in most decks, no, it isn’t a lead card for death.
Nine of Swords is anguish, worry, fear, mental suffering, anxiety, insomnia, stress, up nights crying, and the illustration shows exactly that.
Eight of Pentacles is repetitive action and work. It often elicits the ‘keep doing’ phrases. Persistence, routine … it has a few meanings that don’t directly involve work or repeatedly doing something. Illustration shows a carpenter making one identical object after another. Oh yes, it also means a workman or workmanlike.
Five of Wands is activity, trying hard, competition, fighting, struggle, aerobic exercise. It shows five fellows whacking one another with boards in a game or a fight.

Advice is about not being afraid, or being afraid, of doing your work or your routine. Trying hard not to is pictured as having the same level of effort as a job would. Anxiety that makes it such an effort to simply do what you always do, that stops you from fully exerting yourself. Keep trying and the anxiety will end. But then again, it’s the work some people are afraid of and they don’t put forth much effort.

Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Pick those out. 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?”)
*Go to Advice to apply what those sentences say (in the best way) for you. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.) Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.
The Question for weekdays is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them. The Question for weekends is stated right on top on those days.
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!

Death
Hermit, Nine of Swords, Seven of Cups
Meanings and Illustrations: Observation of the Spread
First off, our first three cards are night scenes, and two of them (Nine of Swords and Seven of Cups) are about nightmares. The other is a friend coming to help, or treatment from a physician.
Next we notice that Hermit is ‘rational’ and Seven of Cups is ‘irrational.’
Hermit is calm, and the next Rider Waite Tarot card is fear, apprehension, anxiety, nervousness.
Then, the remaining Tarot card is Death, which, in the Tarot Verbatim system, means no-never-not – is a negating card. In the four-card configuration we are using, that negative card can attach itself to any of the others. This makes for (1) flexibility and (2) contradictory meanings or sentences. Death rarely literally means ‘death’ unless the theme is established outside of its presence, usually by the Eight of Swords, who, shhhh, is nowhere around.
Notice we have two ‘Perspectives’ that are opposite. The Death card does this. Gotta watch that one!
Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards
Hermit is, in this spread, the friend, the friend who comes to help, the rational view, taking a good look, investigating, analyzing, examining, going out hunting for, going out, seeking, seeking help, the facts, the truth, being sensible, doctor or physician, diagnosis, and comforting.
What holds these – and more we aren’t using today – meanings of The Hermit together is the story: The monk goes out seeking people who need help, and he calmly brings them comfort.
Nine of Swords is self-explanatory: A person sits up in bed, hands to head in despair, unable to sleep. Fear, anxiety, worry, up nights crying.
Seven of Cups shows disparate, unrelated, items in a cloud, and a dark-robed figure taken aback contemplating this. The story is Pandora’s Box and/or The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. In modern parlance, the poop hits the fan. It means ‘things,’ plural, as in Things Are Out Of Control! Things fall apart.
Death means any negative word. It negates the meaning of any card it can touch: In this configuration, that’s all of them. In the illustration, he is not the king any more because he is dead. This card in Tarot Verbatim has other meanings, most of which aren’t being used here, such as ‘end.’
TAROT ANALYSIS
Not being fearful perspective:
You don’t worry about all these things when you take a good look at them.
View objectively all these things you stew over: Things are not that out of control.
See, all the things you worry about don’t happen.
Be calm and you won’t worry about things getting out of control.
Analyze them as unrelated factors, they are no cause for anxiety.
Go out hunting for these things that go bump in the night and don’t be afraid of them.
Sleep isn’t disturbed by nightmares when the light is on.
None of the things you are afraid of are real when examined.
When you’re not objective, you can have unwarranted fears.
Don’t be afraid to seek help when things fall apart.
Don’t let your friend ‘go off the deep end’ with anxiety.
When you aren’t realistic, your fears go wild.
There is no way (he) is going to get upset about all this stuff: He is sensible.
There is no way your friend is going to get upset by any of these things.
Fears don’t run wild when you know the facts.
None of these things are that scary when diagnosed.
Don’t be afraid to objectively observe you have ‘lost it.’
Being nervous about doctors is not irrational.
No one comes to help when the fears are imaginary.
Fearful Perspective:
No investigation into the nightmarish out of control situation.
Truth is not known about the scary meltdown.
The scary fact is, these things are not unrelated.
It’s nighttime, you awake sweating, and know it isn’t a bad dream.
Gets treatment to put an end to disturbed sleep.
These are rational, not irrational fears.
Afraid that none of these things will help.
Didn’t go to comfort (them) when bad dreams woke them up.
Afraid to seek help, that it doesn’t make sense.
Nervous that you won’t get help with this mess.
He is afraid not being honest has made a mess of things.
