Our Daily Spread for August 21, 2011 ©
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.

Wheel of Fortune
Two of Cups – Emperor – Queen of Wands
Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. At least one 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?”)
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.
(Some days are ‘keep an eye open for’ and some days are ‘green light, go fast.’)
*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.
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!
Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim ™ thing works? If so,
*Go to the first Meanings and Illustrations section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Daily Spread – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together to mean things. Then you can
*Go to the second Meanings and Illustrations. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say. It describes how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in this Spread.
You can put all this together and see yourself how Tarot Verbatim ™ works.

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.
Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards
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.
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.
