Four Card Spreads, Tarot Verbatim
Advice Family strife is our subject, no way around it. The divorce or blowup, the militant woman’s demands, the marriage and ‘this is the routine.’ The same situation at work where a walkout or strike – or at least quitting or getting fired – is afoot. Repairing a damaged house is a parallel situation to these – come to think of it! – and Tarot has. She keeps working in this combative environment. A whole family whines about one thing after another until you want to explode. Employees at this company complain about tirades.

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
Oh dear. Right off the bat there’s Tower (divorce) and Four of Wands (marriage). Smack in the middle is the dissatisfied militant woman who is not getting what she deserves (or thinks she does) a/k/a ‘the bitch.’ She can also be the victim. And other other card means ‘this keeps happening.’ That hits you in the face if you have even a little Tarot Verbatim™ Rider Waite experience.
Eight of Pentacles + Four of Wands is ‘work for the company.’ It’s also construction work or working on a house. Tower + Eight of Pentacles is employees being fired, walking out, quitting, confronting, striking or … throwing things, destroying things, or having things thrown at them.
Queen of Swords is the dissatisfied demanding person, so Queen of Swords + Eight of Pentacles is employees’ demands. It could be her constant nagging and complaining, too.
So we mostly have combat or reconstruction!
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
Tower shows lightning blowing down a building and people falling out of it. The crown at the top of the building suggests an overthrow of power. It means divorce, hitting or destroying, explosion or blowing up in a temper tantrum, combative, outbursts, confrontation, beating.
Queen of Swords is the victim, the bitch, the complaining, nagging, whining militant wench, mama-bat. She is also the woman who does without, who is sacrificing (an earlier stage?) – and the woman of strong character or strong woman. An older woman with her hand outstretched, palm partly turned upward in that gesture of imperious but importune demand we have all seen … and done.
Eight of Pentacles always doing this over and over. Same routine. Work. Job. Employee. Keep at it, keep trucking. The carpenter is at his work bench intently making one identical object after the other.
Four of Wands is home and marriage, neighborhood and family, the community of upstanding people. Pictured is a society wedding which invokes the public aspect of marriage, since it is uniting leading families.

Difficult or hazardous work is Devil with Eight of Pentacles. It’s hate the job, too. It problems on the job. It’s one problem after another, too.

Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards
Four of Wands in Rider Waite Tarot is the members of a human group: Marriage, Family, Organization and Country, as well as a house, the elite people. An organization is a company, an agency, a neighborhood, a work place or school, etc. Illustration is of a wedding of wealthy families.
Devil is a problem or difficulty; nasty, mean, ill-tempered; hazard/hazardous; sick, ill, disabled, addicted or screwed up mentally; ghetto or low class. If it’s not-so-good, this card covers it; but it has some pleasant and some neutral meanings as well, which are not being activated here except for addiction to work. The illustration in Rider Waite emphasizes that the attachment to vice (or bruted consciousness) is voluntary: Chains the devil has around the naked couple’s necks are loose, despite their having horns.
Eight of Pentacles refers to work, employment, job, keep doing, steady or steadily. In Rider Waite, it is one of the simple cards with fewer meanings and is one of the cards that appear way more frequently than random distribution. Illustration shows a carpenter making one identical piece after another with hammer and chisel.
Three of Wands talks about income coming in, or anything desirable coming in steadily, so ‘make money’ is a phrase for it. It calls forth the future tense in many of its sentences. It indicates good times. The illustration screams ‘ships come in.’ A merchant all dressed up awaits the arrival of the ship he is eyeballing, which contains his profit – money and merchandise. Very simple, few meanings.
========================================================================
Advice is about working through, working out, keeping at it steadily in spite of handicap, difficulty, and problems. Just keep doing your job no matter how bad you feel, and work gets you through to better times. But it doesn’t have to be employment; ‘work’ is what you do routinely that creates value. Keep working on the disability, inability or feelings. Keep working on the problems that everybody around you has.
