Tarot Verbatim
Guidance Why am I doing this? I am wondering a lot, here – pondering whether to do something new, do something again, move back home, remarry, renovate a building, start up a company – whether to tell people what I’m doing. Would I marry if I had it to do over? There’s a new phase or a reorganization to a company, community, or agency.

Now, Part Two,
Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,
*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together in your mind to make the messages.
*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say. It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in today’s Spread. 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™.
You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim™ works.
This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there’s more variety – even contradictions – and also the pronouns are more flexible. If it feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ and you’re a ‘she,’ feel free to adopt it anyway.

.
Here’s what’s going on here:
Seven of Pentacles wonders, ponders, asks a question, and is in doubt.
Judgment says, tells, announces. It means ‘again’ and ‘to return’ or to go back to the way it used to be.
Magician does, is doing, starts something.
Four of Wands is us, them, a couple or family, a company, a department, an agency, community … any group of people at all. It also means a building – house, home, headquarters, etc. It also means marry, to marry, marriage, etc.
Elements of our story are: What? – to say – do do – us/them/family, company, etc. Lots of room for stories.
Seven of pentacles asks a question and wonders; Four of Wands is ‘we,’ a group of people. Seven of Pentacles translates “What are we (whatever)?” or “What are they (whatever)?” Four of Wands means ‘marry’ so he wonders about marrying, or his marriage, or is contemplating marriage – or his home or house, since Four of Wands brings that up as well. Seven of Pentacles and Four of Wands reads “Ask them” or “They are asking” too.
Seven of Pentacles asks a question or wonders, and Judgment means to say, tell, speak or announce. Seven of Pentacles and Judgment, therefore, translate “What am I going to say?” “What will (whoever) tell me?” (With Four of Wands there, it would say “What will they tell me?” or “What shall I tell them?”) Wondering about some new thing; wondering if something will happen again. Seven of Pentacles and Judgment also are wondering whether, or how, to do something again, since Judgment means ‘again.’
Seven of Pentacles asks a question or wonders, and Magician takes action, or does, or makes something happen – or initiates, starts. So Seven of Pentacles and Magician translate “What am I gonna do?” and “What is being done?” “How can I do that?” These two simply say “Can I?” as well. “I wonder what he is doing,” it says too. You get the picture. Add Four of Wands, and it can say “I wonder what they are doing?” or “I wonder what is being done for them.”
Four of Wands is a house, a marriage, and a company. Judgment means to renovate (the house), to re-marry or marry again, or to ask (announce) someone to marry, or go back home or go back to a marriage. Four of Wands and Judgment also mean a company announces, a new phase of a company, or to return to a company, agency, department or organization.
Four of Wands and Magician reflect what the group is doing, or what someone is doing for the group, or to the group, or regarding the group. “What members do.” “The Department is doing.” With Four of Wands meaning ‘marry,’ “He marries” is being said here. “Get him to marry me” is one of its phrases.
Judgment also means ‘again,’ and it embraces almost any ‘re-‘ word. Put it next to Magician – ‘do’ – and you have doing something again, re-do, to start again (Magician means initiate.) and to make (Magician) a comeback (Judgment). Judgment and Magician together also translate “announce what is being done” or “tell (whoever) what we are doing” or “says he is going to do.” Even “Do what you’re told.” Make sentences with ‘say’ and ‘do’ or any synonym of the two words.
LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES
.
Seven of Pentacles He has planted and watered and weeded these plants, but they will bear fruit only if both genders of the plant are nearby to one another, and he doesn’t know; he will just have to wait until the fruit sets to find out. Seven of Pentacles wonders and ponders about this.
Four of Wands A picture of a society wedding spans meanings otherwise not related. Marriage, to marry, couple, family, a circle or group of people, the Establishment people, community or neighborhood, a house, home or building. Then a company, agency, department, organization or headquarters. It sometimes reads ‘people’ or ‘the people who ….”
Judgment A resurrection is both doing something again (living) and coming back to (life) and a new phase. The angel with the horn that wakes the dead brings the ‘big announcement,’ tell, say, speak themes of the meaning. The dead are returning to their former condition, which brings in the ‘revitalize’ themes: renewal, renovation, recovery … all those ‘re’s.
Magician represents the male principle (because it is a “1”). It means ‘he.’ The male principle stands for being active on the physical plane, so this Rider Waite Tarot card primarily means any form of the verbs ‘do’ and ‘make.’ It means bring about, cause, action, active, initiate or start. You often find it saying “He does” or “He is the one who does.” But the ‘do’ or ‘make’ don’t have to literally appear in the sentence if an action word (verb) attaches to Magician. And Magician sometimes stands for “what is done” or “what he does.”

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice is about the downside of being identified with the mentality and the doings of whatever group you are considered part of or identify yourself with. It is about what you think is wrong or hate about the doings of companies, countries, families – any group. Even hating family. The downside of group consciousness, the dark side of membership. About everybody being mistaken. About what everybody thinks is bad. . . Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do: The Question for weekdays is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.” The Question for weekends is usually stated right on top on those days. (Some days are ‘keep an eye open for’ and some days are ‘green light, go fast.’) *Go to Advice to apply what those sentences say for you. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.) Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow. Without a question to focus the answer, four 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!

DAILY MESSAGE TAROT ANALYSIS “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.” . Family or ‘Being one of these people’ Perspective . He is considered the black sheep of the family for doing that. I am identified as one of them, and what they are doing is horrible. He is doing this for his family; it is the wrong thing to do for himself. Contemplates what to do about the family problem. They are ruining or destroying his country or his people on purpose. I think making a family is wrong. Making a family is wrong for me. Feeling I am making a mistake being one of these people. He did it because he hates his spouse/his family. What he is doing makes him a horrible example of his own kind. Getting married was a big mistake. The family knows I got myself addicted. . Doing Wrong, Evil Action, Wrong Idea A person can see what everybody is doing is wrong. Everybody’s thinking is so wrong about what we are doing. What everybody thinks and acts upon is mistaken. He can see it was wrong to do that to those good people. Everybody thinks what he did is wrong. Making a study of how people in power have good repute even as they do evil. I am identified as one of them, and what they are doing is horrible. Mass consciousness about doing that is mistaken. He contemplates what he is doing about the wrong people being in power. He is doing this for his family; it is the wrong thing to do for himself. I am still a good citizen or person; I just do bad things. This is a crime you can do and still be one of the good guys. He sees he is making a mistake being one of these people. Getting married was his big mistake. I think these people are wrong to do that. . Hate Perspective The kind of people who think you are a bad person when you do what they hate. You know good people hate it when this is done. He did it because he hates his spouse/his family. The majority or consensus of the people hate what what is being done: They know. . Harm Being Done Perspective They are ruining or destroying his country or his people on purpose. Group consciousness about grievances are acted upon. Ugly thoughts about what the big companies are doing. The corporations do great harm to a private person. Government does great harm to private citizens. Watch him harming his own party, making a bad name for his own kind. . . Now, Part Two, Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim ™ thing works? If so, *Go to the first Meanings and Illustrations section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Daily Spread – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together to mean things. Then you can *Go to the second Meanings and Illustrations. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say. It describes how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in this Spread. You can put all this together and see yourself how Tarot Verbatim ™ works. . Say hello back! Comment! Remember to share your experience about our experiment here if you have words for it. Read others’ comments. . . MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD . Three of these Tarot citizens are multi-meaninged or ambiguous ones. The one that is precise is the Magician, which simply means to act and a male who acts, and any form of the verb ‘do.’ . The reason for all the negative political language is, of course, the Devil card in combination with the Magician which means to do, to act – hence an evil or wrong or mistaken action; and then the other two cards together meaning mass or group (Four of Wands) consciousness (Page of Pentacles); or a person’s being (Page of Pentacles) a member of a group or family (Four of Wands). So, the evil deeds (Devil) of a group (Four of Wands) in reference to consciousness (Page of Pentacles). . Lighthearted messages are hard to come by when these four get together. There are some even darker things you could make of this spread which I have ignored, such as black magic (Devil and Magician), such as identifying with evil (Page of Pentacles and Devil), such as incest (Devil as lust or sex and Four of Wands as family) and so on. . MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS Devil is being limited to the lowest form of. The phrases it makes here today – It is a very ambiguous card and not all its meanings are distasteful. – are: black sheep, horrible, wrong, problem, ruining or destroying, mistake, hate, evil, bad things, nasty, abuse or punish, crime, bad person, what they hate, grievance, ugly, do harm, harming, addicted, bad name. Its illustration shows a nude couple wearing the Devil’s horns and loose – hence voluntary – chains around their necks which ‘attach’ them to the Devil. Occult symbols of the devil and black magic are on this card too. . Magician, as I said, is a very precise-meaninged card. Male. Male who does, and conjugate the whole ‘to do’ verb. Act, action. The card represents the male principle of ‘active’ as opposed to the female principle of ‘receptive.’ . Page of Pentacles can represent a male (most often) or female. It can represent a thought or thinking or a study of. It can represent identity or being identified as, or identifying oneself as. Those are its main focus. The illustration in Rider Waite is a young person who intently examines the held-aloft pentacle. . Four of Wands depicts a wedding, in Rider Waite Tarot, of two leading families – say a noble or royal wedding. This is a public display, which brings community life into its meaning. It stands for group, for powerful groups of families (companies, corporations). It obviously refers to a marriage or family or spouse.
