Act now. Seize the day. Either go for it – one big burst of energy – or quit. You come to a fork in the road while you are speeding along. You hurry up and ace this challenge to pursue another one. You drop everything for a battle that gets your blood moving. You go out of your way to pursue something important to you. On the other hand, here’s something else that, if you have to hurry, you don’t do it. You swear you’re going to quit being the one doing the chasing. Or you get over with it and get past it. There’s a time to leave one town, and there’s a time to get over to another one on the spur of the moment. You’re on your way, however you slice it.
Could This Be You?
Picture this: You look at the cards in your spread.
You immediately get an idea because you know a few of them intimately.
AND you know a system that works because you have had a few
Tarot Email Training emails from Emily.
You Are on Your Way.
Are YOU here for the first time? Welcome.
Come in! People love this place! Tarot talks to you here.
Use the navigation bar above to access the sections of our site. Use the links below to navigate your way through this page. Let me tell you about this page with these links:
GUIDANCE Did you come here for Your Daily Predictions? Good! Guidance provides your predictions in a summary. It is the Guidance received for you through three Rider Waite Tarot™ cards, using Tarot Verbatim™.
GROUP TAROT READINGS Here are several one-sentence readings that are predictions for you and the people around you for today and the days around it. Here Tarot is talking to you: These sentences express word-for-word, verbatim, the meanings of those three Tarot cards. You choose which sentences apply to you, and you choose whether to encourage them or not.
SYNOPSIS Located right after the Group Tarot Cards Reading sentences, is a deeper expression of today’s Guidance. Read this too for your predictions. Here you complete your predictions experience. The rest of the page is more about learning to love and learn Tarot Verbatim™.
LEARN TAROT CARDS BY PICTURES Are you ready to begin learning Tarot Verbatim™? Here your in-depth meanings come alive for each of the three cards! In Tarot Verbatim™, pictures make the meaning, so each card is like a person you know and remember.
WITHOUT THE PICTURES For the true seeker of Tarot knowledge, here is what you need to know about how the three cards in today’s spread affect one another, and how to apply Tarot Verbatim™. Here too the cards come alive, together.
WHERE EACH PHRASE COMES FROM At a glance, with a color for each card, your subconscious picks up on how the sentences of GROUP TAROT CARDS READING came to be. You feel how individual card meanings reach out and blend, unite, into a sentence. (You can learn this – yes, you!) Your subconscious awareness sees the image and its feeling and your conscious awareness sees the language meaning, the text… so your two minds focus together to see 3D, three dimensionally, the same way your two eyes see depth that one eye does not.
PHRASES FOR ALL THREE TWO CARD COMBINATIONS Are you ready for the final step of this revolutionary Tarot Verbatim™ technique? Now to make it exceedingly plain and simple, we list the expressions each pair of cards makes. We list them in paragraph form rather than itemized so that they flow, and your subconscious clicks into place and ‘gets it.’ You may even find flashes of dreams or intuitive realities as you read these, at times.
The Rider Waite Tarot™ deck is a data bank in mass consciousness that your subconscious can communicate with. Tarot Verbatim™ is the Rosetta Stone that makes that communication easy because it is a bridge between conscious and subconscious thought. When both your levels of awareness focus together, you think intuitively in real time in ‘the real world.’
Bon voyage!

There comes a moment of action when you have to make up your mind on the spot, if you haven’t already. Whether to buy it. Whether to pull the trigger. Whether to have the baby. That moment of decision which determines your direction. Not always an informed decision, that spur-of-the-moment act. We have bought its consequences, and we own its benefits: Done deals.

You see him not in control of his horse as he races from one place to another, a discombobulated – even panicky – look on his face. His weapon isn’t raised, as Knight of Swords’ is, so, really, he should be more likely running away than pursuing. (These two Rider Waite Tarot cards (Knight of Wands and Knight of Swords) share that leaving-or-pursuing-in-a-hurry story.) Knight of Wands comes up for over-the-road trucking, for a job transfer, and for driving by a place to surveil it. Knight of Wands can be Don Quixote, of whom it was quoted somewhere that he ‘ran off in all directions.’
Knight of Wands every once in a while is about energetic effort. Today he is ‘the rat race,’ ‘giving it all you got,’ and ‘gets your blood moving,’ for instance.
The story here is that a pilgrim (one who is determined to arrive at a destination) takes a detour and aborts his course because a mountain is in the way – but of course this is, in the story, a temporary derailment. Eight of Cups joins Hermit in being a card that shows a pedestrian and has meanings about being on the road.
Eight of Cups has a lot of meanings about dropping out, quitting, being A.W.O.L., abandoning, being short-lived, changing, ‘not anymore.’ It some, too about ‘haven’t yet.’ Words like ‘bypass’ and ‘shortcut,’ and even phrases like ‘fall off the wagon’ and ‘it’s over before it begins’ belong to Eight of Cups.
A double-edged sword held upright, crowned, and the crown crowned with laurel leaves has to mean victory, total victory. That means total defeat for whoever the opponent was. So Ace of Swords is black-or-white; it means ‘for sure’ and is ‘all one way.’ Ace of Swords is an order (imperative), is ‘you have to,’ is by force. Ace of Swords is overcoming and overruling. Ace of Swords is also important – primacy or primary. Ace of Swords is a challenge, too. And a weapon, of course – any weapon.

Now Without The Pictures |
Have to, Ace of Swords; and Knight of Wands is getting out in a hurry; and Eight of Cups is also aborting course, dropping out, leaving unexpectedly without notice. All three of our cards are in the throes of movement and change. There’s urgency here; there’s speed here; and with Ace of Swords there’s victory here too. Strike while the iron is hot, as they say.
Knight of Wands and Eight of Cups are on the road. Knight of Wands is speeding – either fleeing or pursuing (as usual). Eight of Cups on its road has an abrupt change of course that is involuntary – often a turn off, or running off the road. (This is a caution to drive safely, okay?) Both Knight of Wands and Eight of Cups are leaving or getting out of something, too, and Ace of Wands says ‘have to.’
Knight of Swords is to Knight of Wands as Ace of Swords is to Ace of Wands: These pairs have very similar meanings and very similar applications. Both Knight of Swords and Knight of Wands mean ‘to pursue’ as well as ‘to flee.’ And both Ace of Swords and Ace of Wands mean force (have to, gotta) and primacy (number one, most important); and both of them are weapons as well.
We have stories, lots of stories, and we have lots of energy to them too.

Nine of Cups
Three of Swords, Eight of Cups, Ace of Swords
NOTE; Pronouns for this are wide open. There is only the slightest indication (in Eight of Cups) of MALE pronouns, so adjust accordingly!
The same is true for TENSE of verbs, so use your imagination, too!
(Pronouns are he, she, it, him, her, you, we, us, them, etc. Tense is past, present, future.)
Divorce Perspective:
He/She is forced to give up on being broken up, so you get what you want.
Has to drop the divorce if he/she is to possess the good things he/she wants.
Forced by divorce to abandon the dream.
No longer has to have the divorce.
Really wants that divorce; has to get out.
The divorce, having to leave, was the best thing for you.
Pain/Suffering Perspective:
You must abandon the path that pains you to have the good life.
It’s when you no longer have to have it so bad it hurts that you get it.
Surgery is the best; it ends the pain.
It doesn’t hurt any more; that’s the main thing you want.
The pain of having to have it is gone.
Suffering is the only way out of greed.
The one and only thing (you) want is to put and end to pain.
The suffering was the only way to get (your)self onto the path (you) desired and off of the other.
Heart Attack/Stroke Perspective:
To get on the path (you) really want to be on, the heart attack/stoke had to happen
The heart attack is/was the one and only way for him/her to drop off one path and get onto the one he/she really desired to be on.
Fight/Adversity/Hostile Atmosphere Perspective:
Have to quit being hostile for the dream to come true.
Being forced out and fired was the best thing that ever happened for you/him/her.
You overcome and get away from the atmosphere that is against your dream coming true.
For you to have what you want, you have to walk away from person(s) who is/are hostile.
Must abandon this battle to have the good life.
All you want is to drop out when everything goes against you.
Wants to win this battle and get out.
Will not be satisfied until (he) wins the battle.
He emphatically does not want to fight over it.
Victory Perspective:
You won’t want to fight any more after you win.
Having it all means you won it already, there’s no fight.
Quit fighting for the one thing you want when you get it.
Wins the victory he/she/you want(s) by not engaging in battle.
Avoiding the quarrel is the best way to have the victory.
In the end you win the conflict and all is well with you.
When the battle is over, you win and are satisfied.
Even more could be made of these four Rider Waite Tarot cards, but this is enough. Two of these cards are about conflict, the Three of Swords and the Ace of Swords, respectively meaning (1) hostility or separation and (2) winning the conflict. Eight of Cups echoes the ‘separation’ theme because it means ‘abandon’; and it also announces a severe and abrupt change of course. But here comes the Nine of Cups that in any given Tarot deck will mean ‘Your wish is granted, the dream comes true.’
So in the end you win a conflict and all is well with you. There is a deeper meaning, an underlying advice to question whether the reward is worth the battle. Sometimes not striving for the reward is the way for it to come to you. Sometimes, like Odin (Father God of the Norse Myth) you sacrifice an eye for wisdom … as in the heart attack theme. (Vikings are famous for not doing things the easy way.)
Three of Swords: Conflict, strife, battle/war, heartache and hurt, injury and heart attack or stroke, surgery, pain, hostility and divorce or separation … you got that early on, what with the Rider Waite Tarot illustration being a heart with three knives through it and storm clouds with driving rain surrounding it. Some illustrations are more graphic than others, methinks.
Eight of Cups: Abandon course in midstream and take off in another direction. Drop one for the other. Something is over with. Give up, get out, avoid … in the end, there was no beginning anyway. Illustration illustrates that: Pilgrim quits going in one direction because the land ends, and heads off 90 degrees later.
Ace of Swords: A sword festooned with laurel means victory and winning, ya think? It also echoes that ‘the one thing, the primary thing, the most important’ of the Ace of Wands’ meaning, as well as its ‘have to/must/gotta’ meaning. And that’s about it: another simple graphic illustration.
Nine of Cups: Speaking of simple graphic meanings, here’s another. The fat guy ate and drank and is totally satisfied … he’s got it all and is a consumer of it all. This is about satisfaction as well as surfeit and greed. Placed after the idea of winning in the Ace of Swords previous … well he won it all, didn’t he?
Page of Wands
Ten of Cups, Emperor, Ace of Wands
The old man of the family tells the cute young dandy what he has to do.
The patriarch of the family is forced to appear in a suit.
His greatest pride is to be an old man with his family around him who is happily married.
The old man and the young man are both members of the same prominent family.
The young man is a member of a prominent established family.
The sexy young bachelor is now an old married man.
Father tells son ‘You have to get married.’
Grandpa was a sexy young bachelor when he married.
The elder tells everyone what they have to do.
Everyone says he is a sexy old man.
God says you have to love one another.
God’s word is the authority for these people.
Federal ruling about the word ‘marriage.’
Not much variety here. We have the Emperor old man (or patriarch, or God, or federal government), and the Page of Wands young man (a well-dressed good-looking bachelor), the Ten of Cups happy family or happy marriage, and the Ace of Wands mandate or order, which also means sexy when it stands next to the well-dressed good-looking young fella there. So the old man of the family dictates to the bachelor son. Or the federal government dictates to everybody (or dictates about the word ‘marriage.’)
The nearest thing to advice we have is to marry a young man who will still be family when he is of patriarchal age.
Ten of Cups: Such a happy well-adjusted well-off family. They even had to put a rainbow over the family estate.
Emperor: He be da Boss, the supreme commander. Often a rigid dictatorial type; and it can be a woman in that role or position, too. There he sits looking august in his metal legwear, symbols of power in his hands, crown upon his head over his rosy cheeks.
Ace of Wands: Again, the authority, the boss, the order or mandate. Sexy, too: The hand with the board in it that is shaped like a penis and is abloom with sprouts as a fertility icon.
Page of Wands: He is the handsome well-dressed young man who is proud of himself and well-spoken. The illustration shows this cute guy so full of himself, very green-behind-the-ears. The card refers to speaking, language, delivering a message, being the spokesperson as well.
