Tarot Readings for You for May 1, 2014 Thursday(c)
Guidance Sometimes it’s best to let things slide, and sometimes it’s best to wade in and take charge. The trick is to know which time it is right now. Sometimes it’s best to fit in and be ‘normal,’ and sometimes it’s best to take action, administer discipline, and stand out. The trick is to know which time it is now. Sometimes it’s best to adhere to whatever religion is in your environment, and sometimes it’s best to outgrow its strictures. The trick is to know which time it is right now. Hmm, that timing is what is on our plate today.
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.

Now, Part Two,
Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,

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.

Six of Swords – Hierophant – Hanged Man
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
In Strength, we have overcoming and setting straight something that intrudes, invades or interferes, and we have being socially and spiritually adept. Strength’s influence straightens situations or problems out. Strength exudes a respect that makes people behave who do not intend to. She is The Mama. Overcoming is Strength’s forte, and that forte includes overcoming within. She repels the predator because she has the nerve and the ability to handle him. As a predator, it is his business to sense that, for his own best interest.
In Hanged Man, we have awareness and perception of reality. We also have ‘higher consciousness,’ enlightenment, seeing a new perspective. Hanged Man pictures how we feel when hindsight becomes insight – that moment when ‘duh’ turns into ‘Who’d a thunk it?’ or ‘I coulda had a V8.’ Most often, Hanged Man translates ‘realize’ or ‘realization.’ We say ‘It strikes me that …’ when we are recounting had a Hanged Man moment.
In Hierophant, we have ordinary consciousness, behaving respectably, whatever is established and accepted, and the usual routines of the physical environment – the expected. It means ‘should,’ it means ‘entitled,’ it means orthodoxy, and it means ‘religious.’
Hierophant and Strength So Hierophant and Strength are about right behavior, …
Hanged Man and Strength and Hanged Man and Strength are about higher consciousness.
Six of Swords is ‘odd man out’ today, and, yes, he is heading out, avoiding, getting gone, ducking out, and headed in a direction (usually away). (He can tell he doesn’t belong in this Tarot crowd.) Six of Swords has put it behind, is recovering from it. Things are looking up because you are all the way down in Six of Swords.
Our underlying theme today is about thought and control, and we combine these two concepts in different ways. Here are some of them: Directing both our instinctual and our deliberate thoughts; realizing whether to be in control of a situation or to let it be; coming under another’s strong influence; exerting our own strong influence; and then we touch on the influence of religion.
As I get farther and farther away (Six of Swords) from orthodoxy,(Hierophant), I realize (Hanged Man) this is me handling things for myself (Strength).
Has radar (Hanged Man) for what he is used to (Hierophant): a woman who will get him to do things her way (Strength), and those were the bad old days he is getting out of (Six of Swords).

Six of Swords Huddled on a gray day in an open boat, a mother and child withdraw from here ‘with just the clothes on their back’ and go to another life that has to be better because of how awful this one is. Six of Swords is a depressing and also a hopeful Rider Waite Tarot card. It is about putting the past behind and going forward. It is when you are heading out, avoiding, getting gone, ducking out, and headed in a direction (usually away). Often, Six of Swords is about ‘anymore,’ about not being (whatever) anymore. It is usually a withdrawing, a gradual change, a fading out or fading away from something you have no use for … anymore.
Hierophant That’s the pope in the red robe, doing a ceremonial routine. We think of popes as being ‘proper’ personified, so this Rider Waite Tarot card means things like should, ought to, entitled, conform, normal, what one is used to, the usual or usually, straighten out or be straight, safe, behave, decent, respectable, right, approved or accepted, valid, official, programmed, and assumptions. It also refers to religion, religious, and churches or other religious buildings.
Hanged Man In Hanged Man, we have ‘higher consciousness,’ enlightenment, seeing a new perspective. Somewhere in our brain that we are not privy to, we work out these realizations. Suddenly and brightly a headline boinks us over the head, we see stars, and we ‘get it.’ Deja vu, visions, muse visitations, flashes, insights, new perspectives, psychic awarenesses, spiritual experiences: These disorient our waking state and we feel upside-down with our hair on fire like this illustration.
Strength Strength is overcoming: See her pet the monster who is purring through clenched teeth. Strength is quashing bad behavior, exerting an influence, taking control or taking charge, making a solution and nipping opposition in the bud.
