Tarot Verbatim
Guidance Here we have those arbitrary disruptions of what works by entities who have the power to do so: agencies, companies, etc. Our relentless theme today, Veteran’s Day, is this. Recall veterans whose lives are disrupted, sometimes frivolously and arbitrarily, and who are not paid fairly, maybe your father? Stupid power plays prevent what should be happening. The boss is upset when the wage slave walks out. “You continue giving him respect when he discontinues being a grownup” is my favorite.
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 this day.
‘Group 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.

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 four pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together in your mind to make the messages.
*Go to Learn Tarot by 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. 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.

Six of Pentacles – Eight of Cups – Emperor
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Here’s a story about disruption of the normal routine by a patriarchal power being arbitrary, sometimes a federal agency.
Six of Pentacles is the key Tarot card in this group. Six of Pentacles is receiving or paying what should be: an exchange, a fair exchange, often a commercial exchange, but it includes ‘attention,’ as in paying or receiving attention, and this includes respect. So paying your dues and receiving the respect or attention you deserve. (Yes, getting what you deserve.)
The fairness theme of Six of Pentacles extends to legal proceedings: See the scales of justice there? The word ‘dispense’ is called up sometimes, and so is ‘give,’ of course. The ‘dispense’ and ‘give’ meanings stretch to include prescription medications.
Next we have two cards that affect that fair exchange adversely: Eight of Cups is not going through, dropping or being suspended; Two of Pentacles is instability, a ‘maybe, maybe not’ situation, ups and downs, something goofy, an antic. Together, Eight of Cups and Two of Pentacles say things like ‘not going to keep that up,’ keeps getting distracted’ or even ‘keeps running off the road.’
But Two of Pentacles is also is also ongoing, a continuing routine or what is usual. It refers to a cycle, like monthly payments or seasons. That rubber band looking thingie connecting the plates he is juggling is a math sign that means repeating or continuing numbers; so it is called an eternity sign because it goes on forever. That is where we get the idea of the ongoing process from Two of Pentacles.
In Emperor, our story now involves some established stable foundational power, some rigid kingpin, a federal entity or government, a controlling male or patriarch, an old man (often a rigid controlling old man). Emperor is the boss of bosses, the highest authority, ‘the powers that be.’ That is how he is both God the Father and the federal government. The number four (Emperor is a four), esoterically, is about completion, the last stage, something entrenched that will not change anymore. That is where the picture of the rigid old man comes from. (But today he is surrounded by change.)
Emperor and Eight of Cups, as well as Emperor and Two of Pentacles, shave off the stability Emperor is usually about: Eight of Cups is an arbitrary shift, change or disruption of course and Two of Pentacles means instability – the opposite of what Emperor usually stands for. (So you have a silly old man, a power figure who is upsetting the apple cart, and so on.)
Six of Pentacles and Eight of Cups is ducking out on payments, suspension of funding, not paying respects or attention anymore, and disrupting litigation.
Six of Pentacles and Two of Pentacles are making periodic payments, regularly paying someone attention, ongoing lawsuit, and only sometimes treating person(s) right.
Six of Pentacles and Emperor is federal funding, paying the government, government in a lawsuit, a federal justice agency or collection agency (oh, FBI, DEA, Justice Department, etc. or IRS). It says Authority is doing right or treating people right (or a person).
This spread is another example of one without an action card, although the ‘exchange’ part of Six of Pentacles is a fairly good substitute.

Six of Pentacles is receiving or paying what should be: an exchange, a fair exchange, often a commercial exchange, but it includes paying or receiving attention, and this includes respect. So paying your dues and receiving the respect or attention you deserve. The fairness theme extends to legal proceedings: See the scales of justice there? The word ‘dispense’ is called up sometimes, and so is ‘give,’ of course, and even ‘dealt.’
The prescription theme arises from pills being dispensed to the persons who deserve them, and kind of arises from the word ‘treatment’ from ‘treating right.’ Remember, this system is word based, verbatim.
Its illustration shows the employer paying wages fairly, weighing the coins. The artist who drew this puts the employees on their knees wearing patched garments, hence ‘wage slaves.’ Pamela Coleman Smith was an unappreciated underpaid lady to the end of her days, so I think the artist is telling us something personal here?
Eight of Cups is about disruption, failure to complete, walking out or dropping out, something being over with before it begins, or a detour. Its illustration shows a traveler on foot having to go in a different direction because the road doesn’t go that way. Disparate words are to be expected from it. Some of these words are: quit, detour, over with, interrupt or disrupt, off course, drop out or walk out, abrupt or abruptly, “Out of here,” didn’t make it, isn’t (whatever) anymore, renege, derailed, anymore, unexpectedly, ‘is not what it used to be,’ ‘isn’t the one who (whatever) anymore,’ and ‘suspend’ in the sense of ‘discontinue.’
Emperor Da Boss, he is. In Emperor, our story now involves some power, some rigid kingpin, a federal entity or government, a controlling male or patriarch, an old man (often a rigid controlling old man). Love the face the artist draws for this influence: The rigid posture combined with the look of dullness one gets when one feels one cannot be challenged.
Emperor is the feeling you have, or stance you have, when you are your own authority. Emperor is the foundational power structure, the Establishment, which does not have to be abusive but can get away with it. Emperor is also seniority and a veteran of … How appropriate because today is Veteran’s Day in the United States.
Two of Pentacles pictures a juggler keeping the pentacle plates moving. The symbol of continual motion is drawn between those plates. The juggler’s feet suggest dancing. Behind him, ships are tossed up and down dizzyingly on rhythmic waves. He is wearing a dunce cap and green shoes with an orange outfit.
Here are some phrases this illustration produces: on and on, back and forth, round and round, wobble, shaky, goofy, queasy, dizzy, silly, oops, unstable, frivolous, arbitrary, oscillate, rolls in, continuing, keeps (being/doing/getting, whatever), phase, or phases in and out, continuing, routine, ongoing, operations, usual (whatever) or as usual, antics,roils.

Advice The arbitrary disruption of what is usual and proper by entities who have the power to do so: That is our relentless theme today, Veteran’s Day. Veterans whose lives were disrupted sometimes frivolously and arbitrarily and who are not paid fairly (your father?). It’s about stupid power plays that prevent what should be happening, but it’s also about the boss being upset when the wage slave walks out. Hmmm. “You continue giving him respect when he discontinues being a grownup” is my favorite.
(At the time of production, there’s no way to correct the lack of spaces after punctuation. I am writing around it now!)
Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Advice above which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively 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?”)
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.
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!

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
Well, there’s no iota of romance today! Four independent Rider Waite Tarot citizens here make a story about disruption of the usual routine, and a power is being arbitrary, sometimes a federal agency. Here’s how:
Six of Pentacles is receiving or paying what should be: an exchange, a fair exchange, often a commercial exchange, but it includes ‘attention,’ as in paying or receiving attention, and this includes respect. So paying your dues and receiving the respect or attention you deserve. The fairness theme extends to legal proceedings: See the scales of justice there? The word ‘dispense’ is called up sometimes, and so is ‘give,’ of course. Six of Pentacles is the key Tarot card in this group.
Next we have two cards that affect that fair exchange adversely: Eight of Cups is not going through, dropping or being suspended; Two of Pentacles is ‘Oops,’ something goofy or arbitrary, is an antic, and it is also a continuing routine or what is usual.
In Emperor, our story now involves some power, some rigid kingpin, a federal entity or government, a controlling male or patriarch, an old man (often a rigid controlling old man). This made some of the sentences hard to phrase.
This spread is another example of one without an action card, although the ‘exchange’ part of the Six of Pentacles is a fairly good substitute.
