Tarot Readings for You for January 3, 2014 Friday© HAPPY NEW YEAR, STILL!
Guidance Today it’s about how authority – whether in the form of old people, mindsets, economic forces, spiritual forces, tradition, governments, orthodoxy or inertia – is against change and says ‘You can’t unfold that.’ And the changed Self says ‘I did it already. Its wings are not even dry yet.’ New realities are spawned by this process, and often the process is not a pretty one! Controlling entities talk and don’t listen. Change happens under the covers anyway, and next thing you know there’s a baby reality you have to deal with … hopefully a baby that’s wanted.
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 from the pictures of the four cards you see – 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.
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow. The family of commenters here would love for you to join in (the very last thing, at the bottom).

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.

These four Tarot Verbatim™ cards say many things both ways, and many things in opposite ways. Look at these contrasts in their meanings, first of all:
Page of Wands and Emperor Page of Wands is youth; Emperor is old age.
Judgment and Emperor Judgment is change, a rebirth, a new life or new order … reform; Emperor is the old order that Judgment is changing.
Judgment and Two of Swords And now here comes Two of Swords that adds ‘no’ to Judgment’s ‘change.’ Two of Swords also makes
Emperor and Two of Swords Emperor ‘not old’ or ‘not controlling,’ etc., and makes
Page of Wands and Two of Swords … Page of Wands ‘not young’ instead of young, and ‘not talk’ instead of saying or talking.
Page of Wands and Judgment Both Page of Wands and Judgment refer to talking, saying, speaking or announcing. So they can affect a sentence’s meanings this way, particularly on the subject of ‘change,’ since Judgment is the card that means change and also means ‘announce.’ So while Page of Wands is conversational speaking, Judgment is more the formal announcement. But they both mean ‘speak up.’
A fresh perspective on somewhat the same things:
Judgment and Emperor Judgment is change, a new phase, a new order, and it’s the New Year’s card: You know, the old year is dead, blow the horn, Happy New Year. There it is in the middle. Emperor to the right is the old man, the old year that faces the change.
Page of Wands to the left is the new young year – is a cleaned-up person (the new man), the man changed for the better with the new life. He is good-looking, well-dressed. This is you being your best self January 1, like we all do … for a while?
Doesn’t this remind you of the ‘old man year’ and the ‘new baby year’ cartoons we see for New Year’s?
The sentences in this spread are a curious throwback to the Sixties, when the younger generation asserted itself against the old-fashioned values of its parents.
HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL SIX COMBINATIONS

Page of Wands As I said up there: A cleaned-up person (the new man), being your best self, the young (even naïve or vain) person, the person who is in good shape (in any way). Page of Wands is ‘being who you are,’ standing up for what you believe, and to speak, tell, talk. You can see the earnest well dressed young man proudly speaking up.
Judgment As I said up there: Change, a new phase, a new order, and it’s the New Year’s card: You know, the old year is dead, blow the horn like the angel on Judgment Day, Happy New Year. Judgment usually means a change for the better, since we assume it is better to be alive than dead.
Emperor Still repeating myself as above: Here we have the old man, the rigid hidebound soul, the powermonger or federal government or God or dictator or Establishment, tradition, the old order, orthodoxy and tyranny. Things that don’t change, that are entrenched, that are bedrock. It can mean both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ things, but since we tend to resent power structures and bossy old people/men, it’s often somewhat pejorative. Its illustration is a rigid bearded stern-looking old man who should be paired more with Queen of Swords than Empress … kind of like Prince Charles?
Two of Swords One of the negator cards, the most emphatic, it shows a blindfolded seated woman holding heavy crossed swords in such a way it isn’t safe to put them down. Her back is to a lake or ocean and she is sitting on a stone bench, all alone. “No way.” Forbidden, you can’t, won’t happen … roadblock. Cannot proceed. ‘X’ that out.
