Tarot Readings for You for September 27, 2017 Wednesday©
Wednesday is officially Email Reading day. This week, I am putting more Email readings up because of the whole week I lost when both computers were inoperable. I apologize, but the 3-card analytical spreads take at least five hours, and the email readings, the work is already done. Here’s gratitude for the Querants who give permission to publish these Email Readings to you!

Emily to Client:
I’m trying to make up for my lost week (both computers down). Have done four email readings today and have permission from the other three Querants to use their readings. Would you like to add yours, this one, to it? – a favor to me.
Client to Emily:
Yes, add it. Thanks!

Guidance |
How like relatives friends-of-friends are! You choose to associate with someone you are comfortable with, and the next thing you know you are dealing with some people you don’t choose … that they chose. Well, look what the cat drug in! Maybe we should keep the door to our social life closed (or even locked?). Or maybe we should have the gift a gal we know has who is comfortable with every-messed-up-body because she is so comfortable with herself she doesn’t care about our issues.
Could This Be You?
Picture this: You look at the cards in your spread.
You immediately get an idea because you know a few of them intimately.
AND you know a system that works because you have had a few
Tarot Email Training emails from Emily.
You Are on Your Way.
Are YOU here for the first time? Welcome.
Come in! People love this place! Tarot talks to you here.
Use the navigation bar above to access the sections of our site. Use the links below to navigate your way through this page. Let me tell you about this page with these links:
GUIDANCE Did you come here for Your Daily Predictions? Good! Guidance provides your predictions in a summary. It is the Guidance received for you through three Rider Waite Tarot™ cards, using Tarot Verbatim™.
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!

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.

Synopsis |
Some people are rational give-and-take types, and some just aren’t – they’re hard to get along with. Can I be the sort of person who cares less about their self-interest and disagreements because I have some element in my life that is so satisfying I don’t have time for problem people? Next, in the interests of my calm day, can I associate with as many of those sane give-and-takers as possible … and as few as possible of the rest of the citizenry? (Consider this my prayer.)

Learn Single Tarot Cards By Pictures |
GET A SINGLE CARD’S MEANINGS: TYPE IT INTO SEARCH BOX ON OUR SEARCH PAGE
Three of Pentacles
Three of Pentacles is THE relationship card. When in doubt, lay that ‘relationship’ word on this card, because it covers dealing with, and it covers coming to agreement or settlement with – anybody in any area of life. So Three of Pentacles is dealing with other people, and it’s a relationship, and it’s you doing your part and/or they doing their part in said relationship. Networking is included in this, of course.
Three of Pentacles is also any kind of meeting, whether a scheduled business meeting or running into someone on the street, or a get-together for sex, or a world peace congress – any meeting whatsoever.
Three of Pentacles owns ‘fair and square’ and doing [add any possessive pronoun] part in anything. It is also a legal card about coming to agreement, court hearings, settling up, contracts.
These meanings come about because the picture is a meeting a general contractor and architect is having with clients, who hold the blueprint for the building while he explains how he has done his part fair and square and deserves to be paid his final draw (which is his profit) – so they are coming to agreement.
Empress
This is one of those all-over-the-place cards if you know all or most of its habitual meanings. What you see is a beautiful sexy lady who is pregnant and taking it easy in her beautiful life. So this is the card for pregnant-anything. Remember, Empress arises from fertility goddesses. The meaning comes from being a ‘3.’ The first few cards in Rider Waite Tarot, whose source is Golden Dawn, derive their meanings from what that numbers means in occult or esoteric circles.
So Empress is relaxed (laid back, literally, there), easygoing or phlegmatic; is a resource and hence is resourceful (the pregnant state); is enjoying life; is beautiful; lives well and can be spoiled or adored; is the ideal woman, the Goddess, or the trophy dame. Hers is also a peaceful life.
Apply this card last, because it can be the easygoing gal, the gal who is a resource (talent) for others, the spoiled gal, the gal who others provide for, the woman with money, the slut, and the ideal or trophy woman.
Ten of Pentacles
Tarot Verbatim’s ™ Ten of Pentacles is not anyone else’s. What you see in the picture is a family disagreement and a power play by the patriarch that Son is going along with, and they are not listening to the wife. Imagine that. The dogs know who’s boss here. Emily suspects imperial grandpa wants another progeny – a boy this time. Whatever it is, something’s in it for son/husband who turns away from pleading mother/wife and stares into space.
And Tarot Verbatim™ adopts meanings from illustrations, and from ‘the field,’ from reading after reading’s use for that particular card. What you see is what you get: people disagreeing, family trouble, people who are a problem and people who have a problem from them. That’s Ten of Pentacles slogan: Troublemakers and the trouble they make for people in their circle.
Dysfunctional. That, and its less-polite terms are Ten of Pentacles words. Here are some from today: relatives from hell, relationship gets complicated, problems in his marriage, complicates your life, at a difficult time in your life, deal with other people’s ways, they are disagreeing with one another, deals with the hard-to-get-along-with clients, dealing with the mob, deals with troublemakers, messy relationships, problems are from outsiders, feuding people, getting along with someone they don’t like, from the wrong side of the tracks, crazy people, made a mess of a relationship, problem for the family, marriage is dysfunctional, in a bad neighborhood, troubled relationships. Note that ‘family’ here becomes ‘family money’ because Empress has plenty of money. Tarot works that way sometimes.
|
Now Without The Pictures |
Three of Pentacles is settling up, coming to an agreement, and sensibly and fairly dealing with other people: We know that, if we have visited TarotVerbatim™ a few times. Ten of Pentacles is people disagreeing in not-sensible ways or not-fair ways (clashes of self-interest). Right off the bat, we got our stories here.
And Empress, well, she’s easygoing, is well-taken-care-of, and is a resource for others. And there she is in the middle of the agreeable people and the not-so-agreeable people.
I’m hearing that Beatles song, ‘We Can Work It Out.’ That is our focus for today.

Tarot Readings for You for July 26, 2013 Friday(c)
Guidance 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.
Instructions: 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’ is a summary of what the cards are generally advising visitors to be aware of that day. ‘Tarot Readings’ is the actual word for word messages to everyone. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself. THEN, the family of commenters here would love for you to join in.

Queen of Cups
Empress – Six of Wands – Ace of Swords
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
This whole story is about women because two of the four Tarot citizens at our Rider Waite table 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, and potentially pregnant too.
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.’ Naive, even.
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, so it is suited to seduction in the Rider Waite Tarot Verbatim ™ system. Six of Wands can also be the indicator of Empress being ‘on the make’ or even attach itself to Queen of Cups.
And the other card is Ace of Swords: to control, to dominate, to force, to win. It also translates ‘have to’ and ‘must.’
Our story today is the eternal man-woman saga, par excellence.
LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES
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 cards 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 to beat you in the divorce 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. It represents a clear victory for one side and a clear defeat for the other
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.
EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]
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(TM).
In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.
When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’
Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.
Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more variety of sentences.
Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers want you to know this!)
Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.
Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.
In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together
