GUIDANCE Grown-up men. They are boss; they are daddy; they are romantic lovers. They are old guys who stay home and take care of things. We admire the bull that has mellowed out to become the leader we respect and appreciate. Here is one more old man who is a kid at heart. Frequent gestures of affection make him my Main Man. His old friends can be found at his old home that he maintains himself.

…….. We have the old, or older, or established man here in Emperor, associated with work or doing activity himself, Eight of Pentacles, and associated with romance, children, a cozy old home, or the past, Six of Cups. We have snapshots. Our stories are about romance, getting married well, Daddy’s authority, senior men of whatever agency, organization, or family.
Emperor and Eight of Pentacles are stories about a boss at work, or seniority at work, or a workplace that is established, settled. Emperor and Eight of Pentacles is also a old or older man who is working. It could be about a policy of hiring older workers or older men.
Emperor and Six of Cups can be daddy and the kid(s). It can be one’s second childhood, as they say. It can be a May-December romance. It can be doing your elder a favor. It can even be the boss having a romance. Both these cards are old-fashioned.
Eight of Pentacles and Six of Cups, now that could be a kid doing chores, or child labor; it could be a comfortable workplace; it could describe mellowing out, or doing things when you are old; or the things we used to do, or doing things with someone you trust. Eight of Pentacles is the ‘do.’We have the old, or older, or established man here in Emperor, associated with work or doing activity himself, Eight of Pentacles, and associated with romance, children, a cozy old home, or the past, Six of Cups.

Emperor I don’t know where he hides out in the deck, but Emperor, when I had fifteen years of index cards on two-card combinations, had the fewest cards in its box. He is a man of few words, what can I say.
Anyway, Emperor is, esoterically, as Number 4, the finished product, the end of the process or activity, and is therefore associated not only with being established, and being the most powerful position, but with stagnation and rigidity … you know … hidebound. Our stories are about romance, getting married well, Daddy’s authority, senior men of whatever agency, organization, or family.
Emperor’s words and phrases are about authority, and about being the old man, or old. Emperor is father, grandfather, God the Father, the mafia don, etc. Emperor represents the boss, the Establishment, ‘the old man,’ the CEO or most powerful position (like president or prime minister, or whatever they call themselves in a given place).
Emperor is the leader, but not the popular leader; he tends to occupy whatever throne he is on in an intrusive way, with some force behind him. But Emperor isn’t overtly connected with anything military, just orthodoxy, custom, tradition …. Can you see Hierophant overlapping here with the power of the state?
Here are the words and phrases that the card who supplies the least of … supplies today here: boss; seniority; senior man; established; CEO; old man; feel old; senior; elderly; mature man; VIP; my old man; __-December; rigid guy; my old age; old-fashioned; an old guy; grown-up man; old man’s; old enough to; stable; my Main Man; his old age; He fathers; papa; father; daddy; in his old age; Grandpa; Father has the authority; authority; until they are his age; in my old age; He is so stable; when I was your age; when you’re old; in our old age; older people; at my age; elders.
Eight of Pentacles The carpenter pounds one item after another out quickly with the necessary force and noise. Eight of Pentacles is usually all about work, job, worker, labor, etc. Today we emphasize the steady doing or being that belongs to Eight of Pentacles. This card means ‘always.’ This card is about keeping it up consistently.
Eight of Pentacles can be about ‘always being’ as well as ‘always doing’ – or ‘always having.’ It owns ‘always.’ It also co-owns the ‘make’ words like ‘in the making.’ Doesn’t have to be making a physical object; Eight of Pentacles is making someone happy. Magician too owns ‘doing’ and ‘making.’ (Eight of Pentacles rents them from Magician.)
Here are Eight of Pentacles words and phrases: working; at work; work for; worked as always; does the maintenance; employees; workers … this job; do things for; always; keeps (giv)ing; steady; sticking with; what I am doing; I am getting; I’m still; one more; in the making; often; always; each and every; one after another; is work; does things; frequent … make him; he works; he … one after the other; every day; you always have; has more; works with; make _ do chores; has always been; he works at; step by step; he keeps; had a job; do things with; dong things; working out … still.
Six of Cups Six of Cups is a wide-spectrum Tarot entity. We use a few of its applications here, but if you want the full scope, just type ‘Six of Cups Tarot Verbatim’ into Google, and you got it.
You see a little boy handing a girl his age a pot of flowers outdoors in cool weather, in front of large residential buildings. You can guess meanings of home-sweet-home; children; romance; gift; children; childhood; tender moments; friends. You could probably extend that to trust, innocence, receiving a gift, and siblings.
An old house, a favor, the good life, memories, the good old days, and nostalgia are some lesser apparents.
In the company of Emperor, Six of Cups tends toward a father and children.

An old man who chooses young romantic partners is comfortable being daddy, being the boss: Everybody knows that, but we tend not to think of his going about this deliberately because he isn’t comfortable relating to an equal. Today we have snapshots of daddy with his kids, and daddy in a romance, and the pictures look similar.

GUIDANCE “I regret nothing.” Edith Piaf said that in her very famous classic song. We are cutting our losses. We are not sorry for what we are about to do. I shall stop drinking. It’s coming; you haven’t missed it. Just don’t continue in a losing proposition, because losses never have to continue. Money comes in, and you’re not broke anymore. It’s not going to be as bad as you think, either. Just wait: You won’t be sorry. Look ahead to what’s coming because the past is canceled already.

………, Well, Five of Cups is past; Three of Wands is Future; and Two of Swords is never. That’s one way to look at it. Two of Swords is a negator: That’s pretty much its only day-job. So Two of Swords can make Five of Cups not sorry, not sick, and not drinking. And Two of Swords can make Three of Wands not going to be, not going to happen, and not going to continue.
Five of Cups regrets the past; Three of Wands looks forward to the future. Two of Swords applies the brakes somewhere. Two of Swords makes: It’s neither past nor future. I kinda like that thought, myself.

Five of Cups Beneath a gray-all-over sky, a black-robed bent figure gazes at wasted wine on the ground, his back to the full glasses. More than anything, remember Five of Cups is a feeling, it’s emotional. Five of Cups is loss, and Five of Cups is haunted mourning the past. Spilled wine brings up drinking as well as giving up the alcohol. Hangover, too.
Common meanings for Five of Cups are losing and being the loser, failing and failure, being broke and losing money, the sad past or tragedy, bad scenes and downtimes, and regret … lots of regret and even being ashamed, repenting, wishing to God you had … or had not. The good thing about Five of Cups is: It is past.
Five of Cups is sometimes about illness, feeling sick. It is about depression and melancholy too.
Two of Swords Two of Swords is the end, the end of the line. You feel what it means before you think it. I see an ‘X’ and I feel a railroad crossing sign: Do Not Enter sign. This card is a main negator card: no, never, not, can’t, won’t, don’t, impossible, end, roadblock, stop.
You see a woman in thin clothing, blindfolded, arms anchored crossed with heavy double-edged swords, sitting on a stone bench with her back to a lake, and a sliver of a moon near mid-sky. She is in a fix, and this card can mean just that.
Three of Wands Today in its present Tarot company, Three of Wands is encouraging and reassuring in contrast to Five of Cups’ discouraging perspective. Three of Wands is good things ahead (and Five of Cups is bad things past). The good things aren’t just money but refer to a good outlook, good situations, good circumstances. ‘Ahead’ is the key word here: Three of Wands is future oriented. And not only future, but continuing, ongoing … even always.
Three of Wands is looking ahead with hope, well-founded hope. Its ‘good things coming’ arises from past efforts, because the merchant in the picture has made his investment, and put his goods on those ships, and now here comes his profit on those same ships. He knows his money is there.
.
It’s not going to be so bad anymore: Turn around. You are looking the wrong way, in the wrong places. Nothing comes from the south past. Look up the compass to the north future, because what’s coming always comes from the future, even if it’s the next ten minutes. Keep looking up the track; your cargo is on the next train.
