Our Daily Spread for July 26, 2011, Tuesday

Advice is about the male-female saga, and about archetypes (or stereotypes) of femininity. We have the sexy spoiled beauty and we have the good lady who has faith in her man or husband. We have the sneaky underhanded male on conquest. And we have the dame who knows how to use those good looks to get the advantage of the dude as well. They are well matched. Our emphasis is on the games the genders engage in. ================================================================================== 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. Comment or call if you have a suggestion for a question.

(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!

==================================================================== Queen of Cups Empress, Six of Wands, Ace of Swords DAILY MESSAGE TAROT ANALYSIS Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them. (Happy Cuban Revolution Day!) Being a Beautiful Woman Perspective Because she thinks she is, she is absolutely beautiful. Her idea of attractiveness conflicts with the other people’s. She is a Babe, and she knows how to use that to her own best advantage. She thinks she has to use her good looks for something. Being gorgeous means having to deal with devious guys: She knows this. He has to have a beautiful woman, a trophy woman, to impress people: She knows this. This gal is sweet but she is so overwhelmingly sexual, she ‘has him wrapped around her little finger.’ Sneaky underhanded dominance of all kinds of dames: conquest. Games People Play, Rivalry and Deceit She knows her man is fooling around with that floozie for sure. This game player just has to have two women: one, the sweet gal who believes in him, and the other, the worldly sexpot. He is impelled to covertly control her because she is so sexy, but she is so smart too. She is figuring out how he uses her easygoing nature to outwit her. These two women have a huge rivalry going on, and both are pretending otherwise. She figures out she is being misled but she is comfortable with this challenge. He is out to get her under his control, and she knows how susceptible he is to her sexy influence: They are well matched. Misconceptions About Herself She is conditioned to feel she has to have the life of luxury. She thinks she has to be someone she is not, someone glamorous. People treat her like she is special, but she knows better. A princess feels her influence is controlling. She is so spoiled other people are impelled to do her bidding because she thinks they will. ==================================================================== Now, Part Two,

========================================================= MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD This whole story is about women because two of the four Tarot citizens today are women. Empress is the sexpot, the babe, the princess, the spoiled woman, the beautiful woman, and can be the loose woman as well as the ideal woman. The seeming contradictions are explained by the fertility goddess this Rider Waite Tarot card reflects, who of course is all of these. Queen of Cups is the good wife who thinks of her man, admires her man. She dreams and she thinks – the stereotypical emotional woman who runs on feelings and is ‘good.’ So we have these two archetypes of femininity here. And wouldn’t you know here comes a fella ‘on the make,’ a guy with an agenda to get his way with the situation? Six of Wands is about betrayal and using another person in the Rider Waite Tarot Verbatim ™ system. And the other card is Ace of Swords: to control, to dominate, to force, to win. Our story today is the eternal man-woman story, par excellence. MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS Empress is the sexpot, the babe, the princess, the spoiled woman, the beautiful woman, and can be the loose woman as well as the ideal woman. The seeming contradictions are explained by the fertility goddess this Rider Waite Tarot card reflects, who of course is all of these. Her illustration shows her sitting upon a fine cushion outdoors where everything is growing, wearing a bejeweled tiara, and having a heart-shaped shield with the female symbol upon it. Tradition says she is pregnant. (We are not mentioning meanings that do not apply today: Empress is a multifaceted entity.) Six of Wands is the deceit and agenda Tarot card in Rider Waite and Tarot Verbatim ™. It is one of the card the Middle Ages added, and it reflects the story of the betrayal of King Richard Third of England to the Arabs, who imprisoned him at the behest of the usurper to the throne. This is the Pyrrhic victory, the victory that seals a later defeat. This is your friend who seduces the person you love. This is your spouse who doesn’t make the mortgage payments until the house is repossessed and gets the money for the expensive lawyer that way. Et cetera. The look on the face of the horse in the illustration tells all. Ace of Swords is so straightforward. Here’s a hand holding aloft a sword that has a crown with laurel leaves (victory) on it. It means absolutely, it means ‘all one way’ and none the other way. It means you gotta, must, forced, an order, to dominate. Queen of Cups is The True Believer. She has faith in (her man). She believes in (her man). She is emotional, she dreams – not an analytical sort. Her stereotype is the southern young woman (in the U. S. Bible Belt). She is pictured contemplating a funky antique, water (emotions) surrounding her throne. Sculpture of babies are on her throne, and there is no vegetation whatsoever, just rocks and water.

Our Daily Spread for Mar. 25, 2011

Today’s question is:  What should I do to have the good life for myself?

Rider_Waite_Tarot_Spread

Your being the attractive resourceful person makes others figure they should be good to you

Six of Cups
Empress, Seven of Pentacles, Six of Wands

Your being the attractive resourceful person makes others figure they should be good to you.
She is so attractive guys feel she must be influencing them to give her things and pay attention to her.
When you have plenty, ask yourself whether the person you are trusting is being a mooch.
Ever wonder why people go out of their way to be generous to a person who is a resource to them?
Old friends are comfortable to be with. You wonder what other people are up to, what their motives are.
If you were rich, would old trusted friends mooch, get you to fund their schemes?

Promote your good life by being a resource to people, and some of them will be a resource to you.  The person who gives of what he or she has is the person who can ask others to go out of their way to do him/her a favor.  But we aren’t talking about being a universal blood donor to the vampires of the world – no, we are talking about operating the Law of Reciprocity.  ‘Reciprocity.’  That is our vocabulary word – to reciprocate, to return the graciousness.  In this way you have a small group of reliable companions.

The graciousness is expressed in the Empress and in the Six of Cups.  Empress is the old fertility goddesses, and Six of Cups in Rider Waite is to give, is that moment of sweetness and trusting.  In the middle, we wonder what people are up to, what use they have for us – the Seven of Pentacles, to wonder, and Six of Wands, that friendly enemy who has a use for you and yours, the saboteur.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Empress: There she sits, the sexy female fertility figure.  She is the resource for others, she has an abundance of everything and is slow-moving easygoing and … lazy.

Seven of Pentacles: ‘Huh?’  He wonders whether his plants will bear.

Six of Wands: Here is the mooch, the fella or gal who has a use for you and what you are doing.  This is the con artist:  Even his horse doesn’t trust him, see?

Six of Cups:  There’s the little boy giving his little girl friend some flowers:  sweetness, trust, old friends.

Rider_Waite_Tarot_Spread

Take care of the people who look out for you, who are straight in a messed up world

Hermit
Justice, Queen of Pentacles, Seven of Cups

Possess the ability to look for and find the sane parts of insane circumstances.
With the ability to analyze and observe, you can straighten out things that are out of control.
She has the ability to see (through the smokescreen) who is entitled to be taken care of.
Take care of the people who look out for you, who are straight in a messed up world.
Possess the ability to look for and find the sane parts of insane circumstances.
Possess the ability to analyze and  straighten out the mess.
When things are is disarray, find a way that you can make things as they should be.

Justice and Hermit are sanity bearers; they both mean ‘right’ in different ways.  Queen of Pentacles and Hermit both mean ‘to take care of’ or ‘to care for’ another person.  Then there’s the chaos card, the Seven of Pentacles.  So straightening out a mess is featured, and taking care of other people is featured.

The project is to cut through the clutter in the environment, yourself, and use the talents you have and the position you are in to nurture the sane and rational side or sides.  Use the abilities you have to make the world around you sane amidst the insanity.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Justice: Love the picture on this card, want a stained glass window of it.  The sword in the hands of Justice and the scales equals ‘law enforcement.’  But the general application is ‘should’ or things the way they are supposed to be, or sanity and balance.

Queen of Pentacles: She is one of the ‘resource’ cards along with the Empress in the spread above this one.  She takes care of – usually her family or her man.  She has the ability.  She has the money or has his money to handle.  ‘Handle’ is a key word to the Tarot Verbatim Rider Waite meaning of this card.

Seven of Cups: Here comes the spoiler, and it is chaos, a mess, out of control.  Clutter of unrelated items in a cloud is the illustration.  The story it is part of is either Pandora’s Box or the Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Hermit: Analyze, observe, help, care for another person, sanity.  The monk goes out looking for some traveler in distress, to set his situation straight and help him on his way.

Her faith and good opinion of the manipulative man cleans up his act

Queen of Cups
Hierophant, King of Pentacles, Page of Wands

Understand what kind of person the boss is, and think of that as okay.
Her faith and good opinion of the manipulative man cleans up his act.
She sees him as respectable, so he, the gangster type, acts respectable.
A rich bankster feels entitled to a sweet naïve wife who thinks he is a good guy.
Know how the very wealthy whitewash their images.
It’s having a wealthy father that entitles her to this well-dressed good-looking young man.

Part of having a good life for yourself is dealing with reality, and this spread points out that powerful men (or people) have the edge, that not challenging their real manipulative underhanded natures pays off, that we should think about making them look good.

Two of these Rider Waite Tarot cards are about having a respectable image, the Hierophant and the Page of Wands.  The middle card is the ‘powerful bastard, the King of Pentacles, and we end with the sweet loyal wife lady who thinks well of her man.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Hierophant: This is about what the church teaches the commoners, the official cleaned-up story we hear from authority everywhere, including our parents.  Pictured is the pope doing a ceremony.

King of Pentacles: This is the rich powerful manipulative bankster stockbroker politician gangster dude.  He be da man.  Love the grapes embroidered on his clothes and that self-satisfied little smile of his.  We all know this guy, don’t we?

Page of Wands: We are respectable.  We have a good image.  We are as well-dressed as John Gotti, and are well-spoken as well.  Look at us, we are proud of our looks.

Queen of Cups: Here is the true believer, the handmaiden to the official narrative.  People like her can be John Gotti’s secretary and believe John is a good guy, that she understands him.  And she will get a good life for herself doing that.  Interesting that this question brings up this concept.  It must be meaningful to some of you out there.

We asked about making a good life for yourself, and it’s all about minding your own image and the image of the people in your world.  It’s about honoring the people who are straight with you, your true friends, as well as being supportive of, and not crossing, the good image of the bastards in power around you.
