Guidance Let’s be upbeat about our messes. The old man with a voluptuous babe, for instance. Muddled eras of life, and how they, like a storm, clear up, but also how chaos creeps in right around a corner when we are not looking, like a cloud over the sun does. How good it feels when the fog in our heart clears and we begin to notice that and sing ‘It Don’t Hurt Anymore.’ Advice is to look – to watch for early signs of decay or recovery … to look where we are going so we don’t fall down … as much.

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. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL SIX 2-CARD COMBINATIONSis a stream-of-consciousness bridge to your subconscious if you use it regularly – people report.
*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.

What a movie we have here in the four pictures! In the middle is the muddle and the mess of our situation. To the left is seeing it clearly, understanding it; to the right is getting out of it and putting it behind for better times; above is being happy and feeling good all over.
Here’s how that goes:
In the middle is the muddle and the mess of our situation.
To the left is seeing it clearly, understanding it;
to the right is getting out of it and putting it behind for better times;
above is being happy and feeling good all over.
Hermit and Six of Swords are both on the road, leaving one place and going to another. Hermit has left his cozy monastery, where he is a service monk, and is going out on the road at night to help travelers. Six of Swords is leaving a bad scene for better times ahead.
Hermit and Seven of Cups Hermit is sane; Seven of Cups is out of control, crazy.
Hermit and Star Hermit is the old man; Star is the voluptuous babe. Hermit is celibate (make that monogamous, these days), and Star is party mode, sexy, even nude. Hermit is sober, and Star is, as we said, in party mode.
Hermit and Star Hermit is the doctor or healer; Star is being in great robust health.

Hermit He comes to you as a devoted caretaker, a healer or doctor, a sane and sober individual who is not sexual in most stories. He is finding his way on the road. He is looking out for and looking for. He is an old or older man. He shows, advises, demonstrates and counsels. He is a friend, is sincere. He is patient.
Seven of Cups Things have gone awry. ‘Out of control’ is the core meaning of Seven of Cups in Tarot Verbatim™ as it depicts Pandora’s Box or Sorcerer’s Apprentice – mischievous spirits on the loose. Disorganized unrelated object, like debris scattered … or a situation that is like that … or a mind or life that is like that. Crazy, it often says.
Six of Swords Well, that’s over. Things have got to get better. I’m out of this bad place, bad scene. I am on to something better, things are improving. I am over what ailed me, too. Six of Swords is the way out. Six of Swords is putting the past behind. Starting over in life, maybe with nothing, no resources. Heading out. It is a sad scene but with hope.
Star Feeling good all over – happy and healthy, singing in the shower. Performing or presenting or explaining or confessing or telling or saying or pouring your guts out or saying ‘I love you’: These are Star in action. A shapely woman, of course. Enthusiasm, being very happy or even thrilled about something. Star is a partying card, naturally. It can be a sales pitch too.

Advice is all about being a guy, whether a hot-blooded or celibate guy or whether a hot-tempered or patient guy. And about being a husband, whether the patient husband who isn’t leaving, or the hot-tempered one who is leaving; whether the husband who helps out or ducks out. Anger management advice from Tarot here! Being older, he is no longer the workingman he used to be. 


============================================================================= 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 stated right on top on those days, if there is one.
*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!
=============================================================== King of Wands Four of Cups, Hermit, Six of Swords DAILY MESSAGE TAROT ANALYSIS A Married Man or Husband It’s a fact he can’t avoid being a married man. Husband can see he isn’t leaving. Husband doesn’t come to help – he leaves the place. Husband can’t get out of helping out. A married man isn’t coming to (you) but leaving (you) behind. You aren’t interested in a married guy, so the truth is out and so are you. He isn’t as nasty as he used to be but he still refuses to help. He quit looking, and he isn’t that hot-blooded anymore. The Angry Man Impulsive (redneck?) man can’t avoid the truth. He is angry but his days of denying the truth are over. The fact is: He is angry because there’s no way out. He isn’t as nasty as he used to be but he still refuses to help. He angrily refuses counseling and boycotts it. His patience is wearing thin but he keeps from being hot-tempered. There is no way he is going to put this behind him. Not Getting Angry He is a patient man, he isn’t going to leave in anger. Things are not as bad as they used to be, and that’s the truth, so don’t be frustrated. Don’t let yourself get angry, delaying and leaving the scene helps patience Just leaving the scene helps with anger, so don’t be impulsive. With counseling, he doesn’t get as angry as he used to but holds out against it. He is patient and not hotheaded like he used to be. General, Things Aren’t the Way They Used to Be Being older, he is no longer the workingman he used to be. The celibate man has given up the passion he used to have. He quit looking, and he isn’t that hot-natured anymore. Objectively, the worst is over but not for the workingman. =============================================================== Now, Part Two, Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim ™ thing works? If so,
*Go to Meanings and Illustrations: Observation of the Spread 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.
*Go to Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards. 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.

============================================================================= MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD Four of Cups is not accepting, refusing, not having any of that, not being that way anymore. Six of Swords is leaving that behind and going off somewhere else. The two together mean things like ‘isn’t going to leave.’ (Hermit and Six of Swords both have the idea of a helper and travel in them, but that does not apply that much in today’s spread.) Then things get interesting. What the other two cards have in common is a contrast: Hermit is a patient, helpful man who comes to another; King of Wands is the angry, irritated, hot-tempered guy. Hermit is celibate; King of Wands is hot-blooded. MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS Four of Cups is not accepting, refusing, not having any of that, not being that way anymore. In Rider Waite, a person is seated with arms and legs crossed and head averted as if to say “No! No more of that.” Hermit is the monk who goes out of his way to help travelers on the road at night. He is kind, he is ‘on the path’ and he is celibate. He is also searching or looking. These are his main meanings. Six of Swords doesn’t live there anymore, has left the bad scene for a better life, has put something behind. Putting distance between. A woman and child are being helped to leave like refugees. King of Wands is a married man, a husband, an impulsive, hot-blooded, hot-headed, hot-tempered fellow, sometimes a redneck type. He is pictured red-headed, looking irritated on his throne. He is the workingman, too. All the contents of this blog are copyrighted. Written permission is required to quote any part of it.
