Synopsis |
When your belief about something is very deeply held, you hold out against any sort of badgering without having to defend your position because, well, it doesn’t matter what someone else thinks; you know. Quiet people are hard to persuade because they don’t dicker, they don’t bargain … they are holding the gold.

Fool is in another world, has its attention elsewhere. Fool is a mysterious and complex card. Think of the universe before the big bang. Think of the subconscious. Think of the zero which creates the value of neighboring numbers without having one of its own. Fool of course is the zero of the Tarot deck. It translates ‘nothing.’ Fool is free, and free of.
This not-paying-attention is applied in many ways and ends up meaning very different things that way. Oblivious. Ignoring. It doesn’t matter. Being in The Zone in a world of own. Being above it all. Not being present. Not caring. Not knowing. Being optimistic. Not giving a damn. Even ‘not about to.’

Four of Pentacles represents all shades of both repression and restraint. Repressing feelings. Refraining from action. Not letting yourself. Keeping your mouth shut.
Four of Pentacles also represents deep feelings and deeply held beliefs … a lot of depth to it.
Four of Pentacles also represents holding onto … anything. Holding onto money, especially, because he is clutching his cash in the picture.
Four of Pentacles, less frequently, is the outsider. See how he is outside of the town, with his back to it? He’s got a secret too – but not today.

Seven of Wands covers the ‘mad at the world and not going to take it anymore’ – standing up for yourself. Seven of Wands also covers the mouthy mooch, the bullying friend or lover or stranger, the pressure tactics of the missionary-salesperson. You see neighbors ganging up in a surprise attack upon a man’s pasture, and him defending himself against those odds. So Seven of Wands is both getting harassed and being abusive. See surrounding cards, and the data in your presenting question, for the distinction. (The landowner is expected to prevail, by the way: the defense wins.)
Now Without The Pictures |
Fool and Four of Pentacles are both about those gut feelings we get. Fool assumes; Four of Pentacles knows deeply, and neither is communicative. Both are ‘not in on it,’ whatever it is.
Four of Pentacles quietly holds onto, and Seven of Wands has come to take it, or at least to disturb it. Four of Pentacles is quiet, and Seven of Wands is the disturber of the peace. Four of Pentacles is restraint, and Seven of Wands is having a meltdown. Strangely, though, both these cards can translate ‘not letting myself’ because Four of Pentacles is stifling yourself and Seven of Wands is not about to let it get to him.
Four of Pentacles doesn’t take action – and Fool doesn’t even know or care – but there’s Seven of Wands raising hell about it. You can see how a Seven of Wands can make a Four of Pentacles of you, can’t you?
Fool is unconcerned, unaffiliated, not even paying attention … Heck, Fool isn’t even there – but Seven of Wands is defensive and insistent about it, and Four of Pentacles has all these deep feelings about it.
Fool is free, and free of … it all. The other cards both have an attachment that is unsettling them. I think our point is to not be so plugged in today.

Fool’s number is zero and it is the first card in the deck (or some people put it last, or both). So a lot of its meanings are about starting out, about youth, and about absence of (zero): young; begin/beginning; nothing; don’t know; meaningless; not being; not there. Fool also means optimism and lightheartedness because it means youth. Not being attached is another main theme of Fool’s dictionary, and that’s due to Fool’s being – as the zero – the placeholder that affects the value of other numbers but its value isn’t affected by them. (Zero is nothing, but its cipher/placeholder function was a huge invention in mathematics. You can see demonstrations of multiplication via Roman Numerals, to appreciate this invention.) Keeping these things in mind will help with the far-flung applications of our Fool.
Fool means to not notice, to be oblivious, to forget, to ignore. These are an outgrowth of the zero idea: to be unaffected by surroundings or circumstances. Its illustration shows exactly that: Fool isn’t looking where he’s going. So Fool stands for the ‘Let it be’ concept as well as the ‘I don’t care’ and ‘you just don’t’ concept. Some phrases under that heading are: Not about to; don’t care, don’t listen to; you just don’t; I don’t trouble my pretty little head about that; something I don’t care about. Think of a shrug: Fool shrugs off stuff.

See that moment of confrontation? – that’s the central concept to Seven of Wands. It applies to both defense and offense re conflict. It applies both to ‘I want nothing to do with this, don’t gimme dat’ and to high pressure tactics of sales or opinion. It applies to pushing/pushy and to pushing back.
Seven of Wands is obviously about facing things: facing opposition; facing a challenge; facing consequences. It applies to ‘shit hitting the fan,’ facing that moment.
Without an obstacle being involved, per se, Seven of Wands is about trying hard, and is about ‘having to’: having to prove, having to do, having to fight your own battles.

As you get older and wiser, you no longer feel the pressure to engage, to convince or be convinced, to prove yourself. Hermit is a watcher or observer, is a realist, has common sense, is patient and doesn’t get worked up about stuff.
In our picture, Hermit is a monk, a service monk, who goes out looking for travelers who could use a warm bed and a good meal with his good company, and his wise and spiritual guidance. He is elderly too. So Hermit will represent all sorts of virtues allied with being old, with being spiritual or religious. Patience, sincerity, caring, understanding, helping – things like that. He also represents anyone who works in the field of religion.
The monk is out on the trail or road searching, carrying a light. This brings this Tarot card meanings about looking, watching, observing, being on the path or road, being a witness. The search extends to investigation, surveillance, and analysis. Naturally Hermit is your card for an organized public search.
Hermit is about being objective, and objectivity – combining the wisdom with the observation. In fact, Hermit will mean factual, and even the facts, or ‘the fact’ or ‘in fact.’
Hermit is a sincere devoted person, and a person who helps other people. Hermit therefore is a friend, a friend who helps, and a sincere friend.
The scene here can also count in your Tarot readings: the snow, winter, mountain road, the dark night (or just night-time, along with other cards that show night scenes), a path, trail, or The Path, as well as the fact Hermit is on a journey, on a road, is outdoors. The light can also be what Hermit means in a given spread – things like headlights showing a scene, etc.
Hermit is a doctor, which doesn’t enter into today’s story, but (especially with Temperance (healing) and Six of Pentacles (treatment) might enter into another story.
Another rare meaning of Hermit is ‘demonstrating’ or ‘show’ as in ‘shows them’ or ‘show us.’ In Three of Pentacles, the architect is also showing or demonstrating, with the blueprint, to his clients (a monk and a nun).
.
Now Without The Pictures |
Many contrasts between Fool and Hermit. Fool is youth; Hermit, old age. Fool knows nothing and isn’t paying attention; Hermit is wise and is watching. Fool is free, unattached, and doesn’t care; Hermit is devoted and cares for a living. Hermit has seniority and Fool is a naïf, a beginner. Hermit is searching, and Fool doesn’t know where he is going. (Maybe Hermit is searching for a lost Fool?) The influence of Fool not knowing brings out the wisdom meanings of Hermit who does know. These two cards appearing together in a three-card spread bring out one another’s contrasting meanings.
Seven of Wands is all about pressure and drive; Hermit has been there and done a lot of that, and is no longer vested. Fool isn’t vested or attached yet, and doesn’t know from ‘vested.’ So our three cards show someone who’s all worked up over something, Seven of Wands, show someone who’s over it, and show someone who isn’t into it yet: stages of engagement!These three cards make a lot of sentences, a lot of stories.
One that I did not include is “I don’t care if they fight it, I’m helping anyway.” Their contrasting meanings produce some odd phrases like ‘meaningless struggle,’ ‘looking for a fight,’ ‘nothing you have to prove,’ ‘face the facts,’ face the consequences of ignorance’ ‘no idea how pushy he is,’ ‘ let him fight his own battles,’ ‘being absent when the shit hits the fan,’ ‘raising hell about nothing.’

GROUP TAROT READINGS Here are several one-sentence readings that are predictions for you and the people around you for today and the days around it. Here Tarot is talking to you: These sentences express word-for-word, verbatim, the meanings of those three Tarot cards. You choose which sentences apply to you, and you choose whether to encourage them or not.
SYNOPSIS Located right after the Group Tarot Cards Reading sentences, is a deeper expression of today’s Guidance. Read this too for your predictions. Here you complete your predictions experience. The rest of the page is more about learning to love and learn Tarot Verbatim™.
LEARN TAROT CARDS BY PICTURES Are you ready to begin learning Tarot Verbatim™? Here your in-depth meanings come alive for each of the three cards! In Tarot Verbatim™, pictures make the meaning, so each card is like a person you know and remember.
WITHOUT THE PICTURES For the true seeker of Tarot knowledge, here is what you need to know about how the three cards in today’s spread affect one another, and how to apply Tarot Verbatim™. Here too the cards come alive, together.
WHERE EACH PHRASE COMES FROM At a glance, with a color for each card, your subconscious picks up on how the sentences of GROUP TAROT CARDS READING came to be. You feel how individual card meanings reach out and blend, unite, into a sentence. (You can learn this – yes, you!) Your subconscious awareness sees the image and its feeling and your conscious awareness sees the language meaning, the text… so your two minds focus together to see 3D, three dimensionally, the same way your two eyes see depth that one eye does not.
PHRASES FOR ALL THREE TWO CARD COMBINATIONS Are you ready for the final step of this revolutionary Tarot Verbatim™ technique? Now to make it exceedingly plain and simple, we list the expressions each pair of cards makes. We list them in paragraph form rather than itemized so that they flow, and your subconscious clicks into place and ‘gets it.’ You may even find flashes of dreams or intuitive realities as you read these, at times.
The Rider Waite Tarot™ deck is a data bank in mass consciousness that your subconscious can communicate with. Tarot Verbatim™ is the Rosetta Stone that makes that communication easy because it is a bridge between conscious and subconscious thought. When both your levels of awareness focus together, you think intuitively in real time in ‘the real world.’
Bon voyage!

Fool’s number is zero and it is the first card in the deck (or some people put it last, or both). So a lot of its meanings are about starting out, about youth, and about absence of (zero): young; begin/beginning; nothing; don’t know; meaningless; not being; not there. Fool also means optimism and lightheartedness because it means youth. Not being attached is another main theme of Fool’s dictionary, and that’s due to Fool’s being – as the zero – the placeholder that affects the value of other numbers but its value isn’t affected by them. (Zero is nothing, but its cipher/placeholder function was a huge invention in mathematics. You can see demonstrations of multiplication via Roman Numerals, to appreciate this invention.) Keeping these things in mind will help with the far-flung applications of our Fool.
Fool means to not notice, to be oblivious, to forget, to ignore. These are an outgrowth of the zero idea: to be unaffected by surroundings or circumstances. Its illustration shows exactly that: Fool isn’t looking where he’s going. So Fool stands for the ‘Let it be’ concept as well as the ‘I don’t care’ and ‘you just don’t’ concept. Some phrases under that heading are: Not about to; don’t care, don’t listen to; you just don’t; I don’t trouble my pretty little head about that; something I don’t care about. Think of a shrug: Fool shrugs off stuff.

See that moment of confrontation? – that’s the central concept to Seven of Wands. It applies to both defense and offense re conflict. It applies both to ‘I want nothing to do with this, don’t gimme dat’ and to high pressure tactics of sales or opinion. It applies to pushing/pushy and to pushing back.
Seven of Wands is obviously about facing things: facing opposition; facing a challenge; facing consequences. It applies to ‘shit hitting the fan,’ facing that moment.
Without an obstacle being involved, per se, Seven of Wands is about trying hard, and is about ‘having to’: having to prove, having to do, having to fight your own battles.

As you get older and wiser, you no longer feel the pressure to engage, to convince or be convinced, to prove yourself. Hermit is a watcher or observer, is a realist, has common sense, is patient and doesn’t get worked up about stuff.
In our picture, Hermit is a monk, a service monk, who goes out looking for travelers who could use a warm bed and a good meal with his good company, and his wise and spiritual guidance. He is elderly too. So Hermit will represent all sorts of virtues allied with being old, with being spiritual or religious. Patience, sincerity, caring, understanding, helping – things like that. He also represents anyone who works in the field of religion.
The monk is out on the trail or road searching, carrying a light. This brings this Tarot card meanings about looking, watching, observing, being on the path or road, being a witness. The search extends to investigation, surveillance, and analysis. Naturally Hermit is your card for an organized public search.
Hermit is about being objective, and objectivity – combining the wisdom with the observation. In fact, Hermit will mean factual, and even the facts, or ‘the fact’ or ‘in fact.’
Hermit is a sincere devoted person, and a person who helps other people. Hermit therefore is a friend, a friend who helps, and a sincere friend.
The scene here can also count in your Tarot readings: the snow, winter, mountain road, the dark night (or just night-time, along with other cards that show night scenes), a path, trail, or The Path, as well as the fact Hermit is on a journey, on a road, is outdoors. The light can also be what Hermit means in a given spread – things like headlights showing a scene, etc.
Hermit is a doctor, which doesn’t enter into today’s story, but (especially with Temperance (healing) and Six of Pentacles (treatment) might enter into another story.
Another rare meaning of Hermit is ‘demonstrating’ or ‘show’ as in ‘shows them’ or ‘show us.’ In Three of Pentacles, the architect is also showing or demonstrating, with the blueprint, to his clients (a monk and a nun).
.
Now Without The Pictures |
Many contrasts between Fool and Hermit. Fool is youth; Hermit, old age. Fool knows nothing and isn’t paying attention; Hermit is wise and is watching. Fool is free, unattached, and doesn’t care; Hermit is devoted and cares for a living. Hermit has seniority and Fool is a naïf, a beginner. Hermit is searching, and Fool doesn’t know where he is going. (Maybe Hermit is searching for a lost Fool?) The influence of Fool not knowing brings out the wisdom meanings of Hermit who does know. These two cards appearing together in a three-card spread bring out one another’s contrasting meanings.
Seven of Wands is all about pressure and drive; Hermit has been there and done a lot of that, and is no longer vested. Fool isn’t vested or attached yet, and doesn’t know from ‘vested.’ So our three cards show someone who’s all worked up over something, Seven of Wands, show someone who’s over it, and show someone who isn’t into it yet: stages of engagement!These three cards make a lot of sentences, a lot of stories.
One that I did not include is “I don’t care if they fight it, I’m helping anyway.” Their contrasting meanings produce some odd phrases like ‘meaningless struggle,’ ‘looking for a fight,’ ‘nothing you have to prove,’ ‘face the facts,’ face the consequences of ignorance’ ‘no idea how pushy he is,’ ‘ let him fight his own battles,’ ‘being absent when the shit hits the fan,’ ‘raising hell about nothing.’

GUIDANCE It’s one thing to be motivated, and move heaven and earth to get what you really want, and quite another to feel entitled to it because you want it and be therefore demanding. Sometimes this distinction is not honored and/or not recognized. Sometimes frantically wanting something makes you feel justified, but you’re being an ignoramus. You can’t force demand for what you are selling; you have to advertise when it’s not selling: There’s that distinction again! Sometimes what we really really want is the absence of something … like ‘I really want you to shut up’ or ‘I want to clear my mind but that’s difficult.’ We mention having too much desire – greed – and also not having any desire for a particular thing, which is, hey, excusable, yes?

Fool – Seven of Wands – Nine of Cups
.
.
…………
……….
…………
………… What a spectrum on *wanting something* we have here! Nine of Cups is wanting something and/or getting what you want. Seven of Wands is a big push or effort, or being confrontational, or not wanting something strongly enough to have a ‘get that out of my face’ attitude toward it. (Seven of Wands is like that.) And Fool? Well, Fool isn’t interested and means ‘nothing,’ to make ‘wants nothing’ or ‘doesn’t want any part of that.’
………………
………….. Fool is being free, and is the lack of something. It often translates ‘nothing’ and ‘not interested.’ One thing to watch for is if you put ‘just’ (in its sense of being negligible) before a word, Fool can often mean that phrase.
………..
…………..
Fool and Nine of Cups Set here with the ‘wanting’ of Nine of Cups, its ‘don’t want’ spectrum is emphasized. Fool and Nine of Cups is wanting no part of this, and also says ‘I have no desire’ or ‘there’s no demand for that.’ It also is an attitude of ‘Who cares what you want?’
………………
………….. Seven of Wands There he is again, that pushy guy, the one who insists, the high-pressure salesman on his rant or on his soapbox for or against some damn thing. Seven of Wands also means the ‘mad as hell and won’t take it anymore’ spectrum, but not today. But Seven of Wands is also being motivated to do or get something against all odds and no matter what. You can think of the mood that applies to all his meanings and get where Seven of Wands’ energy is coming from. It is worth the effort, see?
……………..
………….. Nine of Cups likes it just the way it is; is content; has had enough; is satisfied; is pleased and/or wants to please. Nine of Cups is also appetite, even greed – wanting something (and getting it, generally). It can be gratitude, and can be that ‘I’ve got mine’ attitude you see among the self-righteous and the overly newly rich.
……….
…………..
Fool and Seven of Wands Fool and Seven of Wands Here’s ignoring the person who’s insisting, ranting, selling something – being some kind of nuisance. It’s also being ignored when you are demanding, of course, because action in these illustrations goes any of the ways it depicts. You can also see, in this double meaning, that people are oblivious to how rude or obnoxious they are when they want something. It says ‘It’s so hard to get free’ too. I like that. Incidentally, both these cards involve youth: Fool actually means ‘young’ and Seven of Wands can be a demanding brat, especially a teenager.
………..
……………
Seven of Wands and Nine of Cups Seven of Wands and Nine of Cups ‘I want it and I want it now: Gimme!’ says Seven of Wands and Nine of Cups. This is the squeaky wheel wanting the oil. This would describe a lot of demand for the product, too. And it refers to satisfying the demand as well. It even says ‘make you want it’ or ‘make you want him.’ Both of these cards are about wanting: Seven of Wands demands what it wants, and Nine of Cups is mighty glad he’s got it.
.
.
An in-depth perusal of the subject of ‘wanting,’ this is. We describe the pressure a person exerts when he or she feels entitled to, and demands. It also describes not wanting to be pressured in that way. Wanting too much and not wanting at all are both covered by the same Tarot spread here. We even go into being satisfied with things as they are, being greedy, just wanting out, ‘wanting to not be there when you are confrontational,’ and wanting more than anything to clear my mind.
.

Fool..……. has an encyclopedia of meanings. Most of them grow directly or indirectly from its value as the zero, the placeholder that has no value of its own. Fool means ‘nothing’ and ‘not present’ and ‘nobody’ and ‘free of,’ for instance. It means ‘I don’t know’ often, but Fool is newborn consciousness, is the sub- or super- conscious, and is oblivious. Fool is the naïveté of youth and the faith of a saint. The underlying idea is that when a person is attuned to his spiritual life, the physical realities pale. In the real world, this Tarot card means: to assume, to be lighthearted and optimistic, to not care, to start afresh, to not notice or ignore, and ‘it doesn’t matter.
.
Seven of Wands …… You could say Seven of Wands is ‘my rights are being violated’ as far as the mood of it goes. This is both someone who is defending what is his from being taken, and also someone who is pushing people around to get something he wants. That’s just both sides of the illustration, you see? Seven of Wands can be a mouthy mooch or a person coming to the defense of a worthy cause.
.
Nine of Cups ………. is one of the simple cards. We call it ‘your wish is granted’ because it usually means ‘get what you want.’ It often just means ‘want’ or ‘desire’ or ‘to please.’ ‘Satisfaction’ is a very frequent word for Nine of Cups. It can mean both being content and being greedy. It can be ‘I ate the whole thing.’ It can mean excess. As you can see, all of these involve wanting something.

Ace of Cups
Seven of Cups, Fool, Seven of Wands
Things got out of control and you didn’t notice. Now True Love is upon you!
Things got out of control while he wasn’t looking, and now he is faced with being in love!
Ignores the mess until faced with it having to be clean.
Assumes there’s some mixup and defends himself that no harm was done.
No idea things get out of control when you insist on the easy way.
Cooperates under pressure as if things weren’t totally out of control.
Due to circumstances beyond my knowledge and control, I am forced to be agreeable.
Forced to cooperate before you realize you aren’t in control anymore.
Love is blind and it gets you behind the 8-ball, gets you rattled.
Oh, you just let things get out of control and now you have to make nice.
First card is Seven of Cups, ‘losing it,’ the Pandora’s Box and/or the Sorcerer’s Apprentice stories: Things are all over the place, are a mess, and you do not have a grip on them. Then we have Fool, who didn’t notice, who wasn’t looking, who ignored and assumed and had no idea. Then as the Seven of Wands we are confronted, something is ‘upon us’ and we are faced with being under pressure for insisting like that. Lastly is the Ace of Cups, the lovely influence that heals and removes whatever harm the preceding cards have cooked up.
Seven of Cups and Seven of Wands are being confronted. Fool and Ace of Cups are ‘going with the flow.’
Advice is that when you let things slide, you are going to have to jump to attention to make them okay. Like, oops, I turned on the wrong burner and the plastic handle may never be the same; I have to run and fix this.
Seven of Cups: Things fall apart, you are ‘losing it,’ the Pandora’s Box and/or the Sorcerer’s Apprentice stories: Things are all over the place, are a mess, and you do not have a grip on them. In Rider Waite Tarot, this idea is illustrated by a black figure who is confronted by unrelated objects in a cloud.
Fool: Person who doesn’t or didn’t notice, who wasn’t looking, who ignored and assumed and had no idea. He is blind to environment, he feels so good, Here it is because he is in love. Rider Waite Tarot shows him happily steeping into the void with his pet friend, in one more step.
Seven of Wands: As the Seven of Wands we are confronted, something is ‘upon us’ and we are faced with being under pressure for insisting like that. Now you have to … He is pictured as defending himself, on such short notice his shoes don’t match, against his encroaching neighbors who have come against him with force and surprise.
Ace of Cups: Here is the lovely influence that heals and removes whatever harm the preceding cards have cooked up. Symbols of the presence of God (The dove of the Holy Spirit and the wafer of communion) infuse the five flows of the human senses, or the five bodily fluids (as the Middle Ages reckoned that).
Two of Swords
Four of Swords, Page of Cups, Six of Cups
Foolish to not respond; there wouldn’t be a romance.
He feels silly when he is unresponsive, when he is not giving her some gift or romantic attention.
It is not inappropriate to take ‘time out’ from romance.
Shall I have a love experience, or shall I do nothing and not have one?
Are the children going to keep us from sleeping?
Will this romance keep me from my rest?
Should I wait to have children, or not?
It seems I have nothing to do if I am not in love.
Those old fashioned ways: Are they still around, or not?
Shall I remain a kid or not?
They seem to be good children, they don’t do things they shouldn’t do.
Is there no rest when you have kids?
Kids just don’t sleep, do they?
There is no question, you are still in love.
What if you still can’t have kids?
Two of these Rider Waite Tarot cards mean inaction: the Four of Swords which means to not participate, refrain from action, lay around doing nothing, and even meditation; and the Two of Swords, which means no way, you can’t, stop that, etc. In between these are the Page of Cups, who is about silly, foolish, inappropriate, a question (or instruction to the reader to put this material into question form). He also means things like ‘it seems.’ The card that establishes a theme among these four is the Six of Cups, which has two main divisions: One is romance – as in sweet old fashioned love where little guy gives little girl posies; and the other is children. Six of Cups is a soft, sweet, mellow influence.
Advice seems to be nothing is happening if you are not in love, but if you make children you will not get any sleep. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Four of Swords: It’s when you are dormant, when you ‘time out,’ when you give it a rest or go beddie-bye. Illustration shows the apprentice knight doing his vision quest in a cathedral lying on the coffin of some culture hero entombed there.
Page of Cups: This ridiculous figure dressed outlandishly with a fish in a cup and a goofy expression means silly, foolish, inappropriate, a question (or instruction to the reader to put this material into question form).
Six of Cups: This lovely Rider Waite Tarot card has two main divisions: One is romance – as in sweet old fashioned love where little guy gives little girl posies; and the other is children. Six of Cups is a soft, sweet, mellow influence.
Two of Swords: NO WAY, it says. Can’t do that. The buck … and everything else … stops here. Most any meaning will involve ‘no’ or some other negating word. The picture shows a balance in stasis: The lady’s arms are crossed and she holds two heavy swords, so she is frozen in that position.
