Sometimes strong and patient people like these use a bad situation to best advantage. You find this type of person dealing well with government, and he or she can scheme behind the scenes and be devious as well as anyone else.

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 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. 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 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.
Wheel of Fortune
Two of Cups – Emperor – Queen of Wands
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Emperor and Queen of Wands each rules the roost. Together, they suggest Daddy and Mommy. In business, Emperor would be the boss and Queen of Wands the capable executive secretary … or his wife or mother.
Emperor is the patriarch, the head boss, the capo, the federal government, the dictator, established order, the pillar of the community, cranky old grandpa, a rigid person, orthodoxy, the higher-ups, God the Father.
Queen of Wands is the woman who efficiently rules her house and manages her business, very competent, practical and pragmatic, alert to what’s going on, no-nonsense and down-to-earth. Tends to be plain as well as plain-spoken. This is the main card that means ‘wife.’
Two of Cups is a bad influence, an energy vampire, a false friend, an agenda, interference from an unknown factor (say, inflation). It says you trust the wrong devious person, people or entity. The interference can often be from a con of some sort, or your lover having a use for you. Third-party influence as in a silent partner or backer as well. Yes, Two of Cups is one of the mooch cards, and it dovetails with Six of Wands in many of its undesirable meanings. It is also about interference of bad spirits.
Put Two of Cups with Emperor, and you have a shady deal with a federal agency, or you could be influencing Grandpa for your own benefit. It also says ‘connections to higher-ups not being disclosed.’ It could even be someone pretending to be a VIP.
Wheel of Fortune of course is coincidence. It often means the best happens – lucking out, a miracle unfolds, winning big, striking it rich, a stroke of luck. Often, it translates as ‘wonderful.’ Wheel of Fortune is also destiny and karma. Put it next to one of the justice-themed cards, and it may be ‘getting what’s coming to (whoever).’ Put it next to a work card in a job search question, and you get the job. Put it next to one of the thinking-themed cards, and you have some wonderful idea. “The best happens” is its most frequent application.
First impression of the combination of Two of Cups and Wheel of Fortune is a scheme to get rich quick. It’s being friends until I cash you in, or until something happens. It could also be lucking out in a situation where you are being taken advantage of.
Putting these four together in Tarot Verbatim™ we have a theme of strong people handling adverse influences to best advantage. This could be you.

Two of Cups, wasn’t I just talking about this one? This is one of the pulling-off-a-caper cards. Its basic meaning is influence by a factor outside what you know of, which is a flexible meaning. Now, you will see most Tarot sites represent this as romance in a positive way. That caduceus tells you ‘something’s up’ in this relationship or deal, in the same way the ominous look in the pony’s eye in Sun tells you that. Some bad motive.
The illustration represents a couple ‘pledging their troth’ as they used to say (getting engaged, we say now) back in the day when marriage was a death sentence, back when ’til death do you part’ was for real.
Emperor is the boss. Personality-wise, this is the stolid insensitive old-fashioned farmer-type man, represented by Taurus. This is your ‘because I said so’ dad. This is the world’s and history’s dictators. This is God the Father and the federal government too. And a mafia capo, of course. This kind of man can justify anything with ‘I said so,’ the same way God can, because He was made in God’s image. Or he can simply be your dad, your boss, an older or elderly man who is set in his ways.
In the illustration, you see an old man wearing armor only on his feet, crowned, sitting upright on a stone throne, with symbols of power in his hand. He has a blank look on his face, like kings often do.
Queen of Wands is the wife and mother, is the manager, who ‘runs a tight ship.’ Her house is clean, her pantry is in order, her desk is sparsely populated, and she is capable and established. She is pictured alert, with a flower in one hand and a stick in the other.
Wheel of Fortune, it’s always good to see you. You almost always mean a wonderful thing happens. Unless you are about a karmic or destiny payoff in a bad way, which is rare. Making it happen or triggering an event, or the role of coincidence in what happens: That is Wheel of Fortune, and it’s represented as a gamble with that roulette-wheel-looking circular thing right in its middle. It says that nonphysical entities (spirits, and God) affect what happens. That is what the funky critters scattered about Wheel of Fortune are all about. That is what the four Hebrew letters that mean the Name of God are in the middle of the roulette wheel for.

Advice compares a wife’s skillfully dealing with both Grandpa and Husband in a potential or actual conflict to a middle manager dealing with both headquarters and Labor in the local project. Strategy is to finesse the situation with grace, to sidestep a conflict that comes natural to the territory. Part of Being Type A is dealing with others like yourself without butting heads in an unseemly fashion.

*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.

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!

Emperor
King of Wands, Strength, Queen of Wands
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
We continue our theme. King of Wands and Queen of Wands are Mr. and Mrs. This is true of all King-Queen pairs of the same suit, but especially of this suit, because these are the Rider Waite Tarot cards that particularly refer to the word ‘husband’ and the word ‘wife.’
Queen of Wands is also the manager, in business or any arena. King of Wands in business is the hands-on person, labor, and/or the angry frustrated edgy dude.
Between these two cards is Strength: The woman who diplomatically handles a conflict and solves a problem, who uses her influence to smoothly accomplish a purpose without a ripple. Deft is a good word for her touch.
Then we have Emperor. He is the ultimate authority in business – headquarters, the owner. He is Grandpa in family life. He is the controlling old dude, potentially, wherever he shows up – so of course he is the federal government, is whatever sits on top of any power pyramid.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
King of Wands in business is the hands-on person, labor, and/or the angry frustrated edgy dude. In family life, he is the husband, sometimes the father. The Rider Waite illustration for him shows a frustrated-looking man with the symbols of a fiery nature, gripping a big stick and having his other hand in sort of a fist. This is daddy on a bad day.
Strength is a person we could use more of. She is determined to get a difficult situation solved and determined to get a difficult person to cooperate. He uses her influence strategically to accomplish her purpose. She is shown with the symbol of eternity (ever-repeating cycle, mathematical symbol) over her head, white robe with flowers, subduing a lion who would like to roar but has to purr because of her deft touch.
Queen of Wands in business is the manager. In family life, she is Mama, the woman who runs the house efficiently and has her rules. She is shown in Rider Waite with that nurse look on her face, a flower in one hand and a board in the other.
Emperor is the autocratic power person you have to deal with in his sphere of influence at your own risk. He represents such power centers as the federal government, Grandpa, the owner of the business. His picture in Rider Waite Tarot is the old man with that ‘My way, and now would be good’ look that brooks no input.

Advice is about coincidence is what makes destiny, and how being a sensible, practical, pragmatic ‘in control’ orderly kind of person influences that destiny through coincidence. When there are malefic influences, those malefic influences often take one look at these sensible types and go pick on easier targets. Even federal agency bullies can be handled by heads-up folks; and they can scheme behind the scenes too.

Meanings And Illustrations: Observation Of The Thread
Emperor and Queen of Wands each rules the roost. He is the patriarch, the head boss, the capo, the federal government, the dictator, the pillar of the community, the religious man who fees God made him in his own image and authority. She is the woman who efficiently rules her house and manages her business, very practical and pragmatic, no-nonsense and down-to-earth. Tends to be plain as well as plain-spoken … Why is that the case?
The combination of Two of Cups and Wheel of Fortune’s first-blush impression is a scheme to get rich quick. Put Two of Cups with Emperor, and you have a shady deal with a federal agency, or you could be influencing Grandpa for your own benefit. Two of Cups is influence by a factor outside what you know of, which is often a con of some sort, or your lover having a use for you. Third-party influence as in a silent partner or backer as well. And Wheel of Fortune of course is winning big, striking it rich, a stroke of luck, destiny and karma.
I looked at these and wondered what the heck this was all about. The first sentence immediately came to mind, as Emperor-Queen of Wands are easily daddy and mommy.
