Tarot Verbatim
Guidance Subconscious Motivation: Our interior life has a lot more to do with *what we end up doing* than we are ready to admit even to ourselves. As we experience our scenes, we look to validate how we already think and feel, and give weight to, or brush off, a particular piece of it accordingly. We do what we have a built-in impulse to do … more than we want to admit. On a deeper level, we act from subconscious motivations that are submerged or suppressed within ourselves. I am here to tell you they don’t have to be unavailable to you, that you can take them out and play with them, and have more of yourself on tap.
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.

Magician
Fool – Star – Four of Pentacles
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
Fool and Four of Pentacles are both not doing, are inwardly-directed and are refraining from activity. Both can also mean ‘blowing it off,’ ignoring, not admitting it. Fool is an optimistic vibe, and Four of Pentacles whimpers. Fool is a free spirit; Four of Pentacles stifles him- or her- self. Fool lives in his or her subconscious/superconscious, and, yes, Four of Pentacles bottles it up.
Fool is ‘not with us,’ not on the same page as Earth. Look for Fool to be open-minded, openhearted, and just plain open. This can be out of being young and oblivious; it can be from a frisky mood; it can also be that a person is oriented to nonphysical or spiritual realities and therefore immune to some commonsense considerations the rest of us deal with. Fool is possibly ‘leading a charmed life’ along the lines of ‘God protects fools and drunks’ or that a deeply spiritual person seems immune to some mishaps. Fool can also be not on the same wavelength as the rest of us for many other reasons – even, say, senility. Whatever, whatever. Fool also is about optimism and faith. He is not going to fall off that cliff, see?
Four of Pentacles, on the other hand, is shutting down his/her/its feelings and/or shutting out the world (or shutting out someone or something). Four of Pentacles is not talking or not admitting. Four of Pentacles is deep-seated feelings, or feelings we won’t admit to ourselves, or that we deny to outsiders. Secrets are its province.
Another aspect of Four of Pentacles is being broke, feeling inferior – or any form of deficit you can think of. Low levels.
Four of Pentacles covers both hugging and sulking, at times, and sometimes even means ‘outside of town’ or out of town.
Fool and Star are groovy, optimistic and are feeling good. These are upbeat folks whose outlook is rosy. They are in a groove, a happy groove. Nothing can faze them for now. Fool’s groove is more his essential nature, and Star’s is more whatever Star is doing, and is into, at this time. Star is, after all, singing in the shower. Likewise, ‘don’t know how I feel about that’ is Fool (I dunno) and Star (a lot of feeling). Fool is subconscious; Star is motivation – so together they often translate ‘subconscious motivation.’
Our remaining Rider-Waite Tarot citizen, Magician, just happens to contribute phrases that dovetail well with the rest of his fellow panelists’.
Fool and Magician For instance, ‘don’t know what I’m doing’ is Fool (don’t know) and Magician’s complex of ‘to do’ and ‘to make’ meanings.
Four of Pentacles and Magician‘Not going to let myself get started’ is Four of Pentacles (refraining from action, stifling oneself) and Magician’s meaning of ‘to start.’ Four of Pentacles and Magician also say ‘Not talking about it, doing it’ or ‘not admitting (I) did it.
Star and Magician say things like ‘I enjoy doing’ and ‘I got talked into doing.’ Star is motivation and enthusiasm, so we are gung-ho about doing whatever it is.
Star and Four of Pentacles both have deep feelings. Star is talking about them enthusiastically, and Four of Pentacles’ lips are sealed about them. Star is exuberant; Four of Pentacles sulks (not always of course). Star’s deep feelings are like Fool’s, upbeat, and Star is a missionary about his or her feelings or beliefs; Four of Pentacles isn’t about to divulge them. Star said that; Four of Pentacles was mum. Star blabbed but Four of Pentacles keeps your secret. Sometimes the emphasis in Star is on the hearing rather than the speaking or performance. Star is a performer. Star can indicate someone is a singer.
Our core study today, I think, is that our interior life has a lot more to do with *what we end up doing* than we are ready to admit even to ourselves. As we experience our reality, we look to validate how we already think and feel, and give weight to, or brush off, some piece of it accordingly. I try so hard not to do that myself, and it’s so much easier to see when someone else is doing that.
We do what we have the urge to do … more than we want to admit. On a deeper level, we act from subconscious motivations that are submerged or suppressed within ourselves. I am here to tell you they don’t have to be unavailable, that you can take them out and play with them, and have more of yourself on tap.Right below this is one way to encourage that expansion of your awareness:

Fool Fool is ‘not with us,’ not on the same page as Earth. Look for Fool to be open-minded, openhearted, and just plain open. This can be out of being young and oblivious; it can be from a frisky mood; it can also be that a person is oriented to nonphysical realities and therefore immune to some commonsense considerations the rest of us deal with … like not skipping off a cliff. (Yeah, that’s rare.) Fool can also be not on the same wavelength as the rest of us for many other reasons – even, say, senility. Whatever, whatever. Fool also is about optimism and faith.
Star feels great, is enthusiastic and optimistic; Star is singing or performing or giving a rah-rah sales pitch (call to action). It’s a happy groove and a rosy outlook, unfazed. Star is you getting talked into something, or talking someone into something. Star is the invigorated feeling that makes us sing in the shower. Star is also about good health and a shapely woman.
Four of Pentacles keeps it bottled up inside, doesn’t admit, feels deep down, keeps a secret, is shutting down his/her/its feelings and/or shutting out the world (or shutting out someone or something). Four of Pentacles is not talking or not admitting. Four of Pentacles is deep-seated feelings, or feelings we won’t admit to ourselves, or that we deny to outsiders. Secrets and denial are its province.
It’s also all about not having enough, being broke, being short of anything, a deficit (of anything) or shortage, or low level. Four of Pentacles is feeling inferior or shamed or guilty, or even being inferior.
Four of Pentacles covers both hugging and sulking, at times, and sometimes even means ‘outside of town’ or out of town.
Magician Guys do things. Magician is the male principle of action (of being active rather than receptive – opposite states in metaphysical circles). So any form of the verb ‘do’ or ‘make’ or its synonyms … say, to bring about … is Magician. He is pictured with his arm raised about to bring about some event or action with his magic wand. Magician also means ‘Do it yourself’ type things, and ‘to take initiative.’ Of course it refers to the doing of anything, and to anything having been done: the thing itself, rather than the action.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice Money is today’s subject, about house payments, paying household bills, paying for other people, investing other people’s money, and even supporting mooches. It’s also to a lesser extent about yourself not being in a position to pay your own expenses. Advice is also about paying people the respect they deserve: Isn’t a full-fledged member of the community until he does what earns our respect. He doesn’t get enough respect to be happy in this marriage. The secret to having a good circle of friends is to treat them the way they deserve.
Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Advice above which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Group Analytical Tarot Reading below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively pick those out and decide whether to encourage or suppress them. 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?”)
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.
Without a question to focus the answer, our 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!

Four of Pentacles
Six of Pentacles – Ten of Cups – Magician
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
With Six of Pentacles (paying or receiving money, attention or respect) and Four of Pentacles (secret, budgeting or thrift, holding onto, less, less money) get together, you know it’s about m-o-n-e-y. Then we have Magician … what he does with money or for money, because Magician is to do or make, and is a man.
And of course right in the middle of all this is Ten of Cups, everybody and other people and all the people, the community or family. This enriches the story a lot. It gives us other people’s money being invested, and paying other people’s expenses and making everybody happy.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
Six of Pentacles shows an employer weighing in a scale the coins he pays to the help. The scales and ‘paying a fair wage’ concept expands to legal proceedings (but not today). Today is all about paying for things.
Ten of Cups today is everybody as well as the community and the family. The illustration shows a happily-ever-after couple hugging themselves in front of their house in the gated community with the rainbow over it, with two happily-ever-after dancing-for-joy kids.
Magician is the man who does. The man who makes. The man himself. Action, something that is being done or was done. He is pictured with the tools of his trade in the act of affecting some event, no doubt.
Four of Pentacles is so short of money, and he is keeping it from those people in that town, keeping a secret. He is even hugging himself. He can be a cheapskate, he withholds just about anything (constipated personality, you know).
