Tarot Readings for You for September 25, 2014 Thursday(c)
Guidance Today we are musing upon the back-and-forth trajectory of our lives on earth, and pointing out the fun of that. It’s one kind of fun to fall off the wagon of, say, a bad habit, and another kind of fun to get back on the horse that threw us: Each are chapters. There’s a time to be responsible, even to run the rat race, and a time to be irrepressible, uninhibited and spontaneous. That’s called vacation or ‘blowing this joint’ sometimes. Today we suggest that both directions have their place, that striking a balance even day by day is ‘good for us.’ All work and no play, you know – or all play and no work – make Jack a boring kid.

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 three pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these three cards get together in your mind to make the messages. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONS is a -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 three 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.

Devil – Sun – Knight of Swords

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
………………….…………………… Devil is very general in its application, and its various applications rule here because the other two Tarot cards (Sun and Knight of Swords) both mean to get out of, and one (Sun) means specifically to be free of. So our general theme is getting out of something troublesome – except for that double meaning of Knight of Swords: to go back, to revert, to turn back. Knight of Swords also says ‘again.’ So we will have some exceptions to our theme of getting out of the bad place.
………………………….. Devil’s core meanings are attachment and vice in Rider Waite. (Rider Waite arises unapologetically from Christian culture.) See the loose chains around the necks of its humans there? Their attachment to the dark side or down side (or their vices) is voluntary.
Another major category of meanings for Devil is limitations. Limitations brings many otherwise-unrelated meanings for this Rider Waite Tarot card in Tarot Verbatim™. Handicap, harmful habits, addictions, illness and mental illness, pain and suffering, nasty rude ornery personalities, black moods and depression, being forced or having no choice, being stuck, fear, and paralysis (including paralysis of will).
Of course Devil means evil and bad – the dark side in general. This brings in meanings such as filth, contagion, contamination, toxic substances or environment, mold and fungus, noxious smells and substances (and people). It also brings in guilt and sin and literal demons as well as figurative demons. Devil’s illustration shows the influence of evil due to connection it, with the devil. Devil is ugly too – and the ugly side of things.
(Now go look at Lovers. This card takes the same idea re connection with things divine. You see the two nude humans drawn in a similar way to Devil. This parallel was obviously intended by the artist and the designer of the deck. Christian concepts abound in Rider Waite. (Note there are no chains on Adam and Eve in Lovers). This same type of parallel is to be found in Ace of Pentacles, Right-hand Path, and Moon, Left-hand Path. The guardian angel overlooking the couple represents protection of the divine – instead of chains being the connection in Devil.)
……………..………….. Knight of Swords is moving fast, is in hot pursuit of something. It can mean to turn around fast and go in the opposite direction, and even to flee, so this is not a lead card; it is a support card for the themes it includes. Change is one of its major meanings – sudden change, a change of mind. It means to switch, even to switch back and forth (with other cards saying that too), and it means ’emergency.’ A rule of thumb is Knight of Swords’ movement involves a desirable destination, whether it is getting out of something or pursuing something. His movement also is his own volition, his own idea, even if he is fleeing. Look at his face in the picture: He is onto something, leaning ahead in the saddle.
(Briefly, Knight of Wands is a very similar card, is more likely to be ‘getting out of Dodge,’ to be pursued rather than to be choosing to speed along. He looks panicky, whereas Knight of Swords looks animated to ‘get ’em.’ Nevertheless, Knight of Wands can show up for hot pursuit as well. Both Knight of Swords and Knight of Wands are in a hurry.)
………………………….. Sun is leaving, for sure (which makes Knight of Swords more likely to be getting out of something too). Here is Sun’s story: Funloving reckless boychild ducks out of the the house and its rules, naked, to cavort bareback on a wicked pony … and not even hold on. He has this huge banner in one little hand. Irresponsible and immature or juvenile. This is the callous reckless just-wanna-have-fun playboy who will leave before the ‘house rules’ of a relationship limit his juvenile pleasure. This is fun in the sun, vacation, time off, enjoyable activity. This is childhood issues, child and children in general, and of course being childish. This is uninhibited, spontaneous, a fun or charming person.
……….………….. Devil and Sun The many and varied core meanings of Devil and Sun create all the different titles in our spread today. Knight of Swords is the seasoning in their stew, turning their meanings on and off. Without a question, we say a whole lot of things here. More than I wrote about.
………..…………… Sun and Knight of Swords share many of the same phrases, ones about leaving, getting away, and life being changed for the better. In the illustrations, Sun leave the house and Knight of Swords leaves town. Both are quick leavings.
Falling off the wagon can be fun, and it’s also a pleasure to get back on and be free of the downside of a bad habit. Our spread embraces both equally! The point of today’s message, therefore, is to look for changes rather than a steady direction in life, and an underlying message is to get back on the horse you fall off of and enjoy the ride whichever way you are headed at the moment, because, hey, you’ve got some reins there.

Devil ……… Devil is someone we all know, and is found in our attachments frequently. The loose chains are the key feature in the drawing’s meaning: Your attachments, your habits, what holds you back: All voluntary! This is one of the most general cards: Name something awful, any downer, and it’s likely to mean that. But it has neutral and positive meanings too, meanings like: physical, bond, ‘attachment ‘ in the legal sense (exhibit attached, for instance) or in the simple sense of being clipped with a pin or paper clip. It means sexual and sex – not just lust. It can just mean ugly or the word ‘bad.’ It can mean obligation, burden, and onerous, which borders upon dutiful and duty.
It can represent ‘dirty’ as a word, even, say, getting dirty working hard. Of course ‘dirty’ in the pornographic senses too. So Devil is not the first card you look at, not a theme setter: Look around for a card whose meaning is more focused for that.
.
Sun ………. The whole spectrum of ‘fun’ belongs to Sun, from child’s play to a callous fling. Reckless uninhibited self-centered charmers are Sun. Cutting loose and enjoying yourself – spontaneity – is Sun. Kids are Sun. Sunshine is Sun. Getting free and getting out of the house (or out of a suffocating job) is Sun. Getting out from under the restrictions that hold you back is Sun. Breaking the rules is Sun. Reckless behavior (and the chance you take) is Sun. Anything about child or children is Sun.
.
Knight of Swords ………. emphasizes speed, rush, hurry, and avid pursuit. It also is about leaving, getting out, getting over something – all of which are by choice. Knight of Swords is about going in the opposite direction too, or making a U-turn. Change is featured, which brings such phrases as ‘makes a difference,’ unexpectedly, last-minute, emergency – and changeable, of course.
